they left, the captain of tbs Shattsr II
warning Lieutenant Spindler that ,
German vessel was expected to arrive
in the bay with arms for The Irish.
Knowing that the plot had been dis
covered, Lieutenant Spindler was pre-
pairing TO put to sea when second
English patrol boat appeared. The
Aud's anchor was up, and she started
to fee, the other giving chase. The
Shatter II, apparently not realizing the
game that was being played, signaled
"bon voyage" at the harbor mouth, but
when the other boat came up signals
were exchanged and both joined in
pursuit. Spindler pushed the Aud to
thirteen knots, and got away, but the
second craft carried wireless and sent
a warning to Queenstown. Fast auxil-
iary cruisers came out, and the Aud
was overhauled and ordered to follow
the Bluebell, in charge of the auxiliary
squadron, to Queenstown. Spindler
kept up the pretense of being a Nor
wegian, but was forced to follow. At
the entrance to Queenstown harbor
Spindler prepared to blow up his ves-
sci.
with last effort the Aud swung
slowly across the channel" he says.
"The ships pennaht already WAS wav-
ing from the masthead, and the next
moment the German naval ensign was
run up, bidding defiance to the English
and all their works. Jackets and great
coats few overheard, showing the Ger
man uniforms underneath.
Aud Blown Up; Spindler
Captured and Sent to Camp
"Three cheers for our supreme Wa,
Lordl Then there was a muffled ex-
plosion. The Aud shivered from stem
to stern, beams and splinters few up in
the air, followed by cloud of dirty
gray smoke, and flames burst forth
from the saloon, the charthousc, the
ventilators and the forecastle. That
was all we had time to notice. AL
hands took to the boats"
The officers and crew abandoned the
burning ship, which sank soon after
They were picked up by the Bluebell
and carried into Queenstown. After ar
examination by the British, Spindler
was sent to prison camp at bennington
Hall.
Admiral Sir Reginald Hall, Directo,
Of Naval Intelligence during the war
has made interesting comment on
Spindler's book.
eve knew he was coming" said Ad
mirall Hall. "We watched for him
most of the way. There was no object
in sinking him in the North Sea-we
wanted to make sure he intended tt
carry out the object with which he was
credited. 80. For a German, ths
book is singularly accurate. To me the
main interest lies in the fact that il
shows how extremely moderate we arc
in handling spy"
In regard to Spindler's account OF
the Shatter I'd episode, Admiral Hall
says that. probably the patrol boat was
playing the same cat and mouse game
as the rest of the fleet. The strange
behavior of the English warships which
the Aud met on her voyage is similarly
accounted for.
The translators of the book say that
the information of the projected ex-
pedition came to the British Secret
Service through the interception of
some of Bernstortf's messages.
New-York tribune., 1921-05-01
By Harold E. Scarborough
From The Tvibwns's Eurcrsan b~redI

From, The Tyibune's EuroTsam Burs6w
LONDON, April 20.
~ EsPITE the fact that the gov
crnment is pledged to deal with
the question Of House Of Lords
reform at this session, it is announced
that the matter will not be considered
until the Parliamentary session OF
1922. The debate in the House OF
Lords. in the course Of which Lord
Curzon made the announcement on
behalf Of the government. that the re-
form bill would be postponed, was
marked by an evident fear on the part
of the peers that q Labor government
might socn come into power. Lord
Selborne's motion in opening the de-
bate was in the form Of 4 resolution
urging the government to tackle the
reformation of the Second Chamber
during the present session-obviously
a strategic move to anticipate the ac-
cession of Labor to the majority posi-
ton.
The point is that the present agita-
tion has for it's purpose the assign
ment Of more power to the House OF
Lords, instead Of curtailment Of it's
already limited prerogatives.
Public opinion generally is probably
not unfavorable to such a development.
The ordinary citizen tends to regard
the House Of Lords with considerably
more respect than he does the Com
mons. The cry for the abolition of
the upper chamber had It's elimination
in the Parliament act Of 1911, and
since that time fetrogression of SEN
timent has set in. This, however, is
coupled with a desire that the new
House of Lords, with its more for
midabls position, be a more efficient
and representative body than the pres
ent one.
Abolition of House
Of Lords Is Feared
1t was the inelasticity of the old
House Of Lords which led to the limita-
tion of its powers. Prior to 1911 it
had power to alter or reject any bill
submitted to it by the House of Com
mons. The Parliament act Of that year
provided that if q money bill, which
had been passed by the Commons and
sent to the Lords at least a month
before the end Of the session, were not
passed unamended by the Lords within
month, it might, nevertheless, re-
ceive the Kings signature and be-
come law. -e.s.e 1.4s ~. B.
If any other bill is passed by the
Comm ons in three successive sessions,
sent to the Lords each time a month
before the sessions end, and rejected
or unacceptably amended by the Lords,
it also may be put in force by the
royal assent. Since the King, while
nominally possessing the veto power,
never exercises it, the effect Of this
act was to make the House of Com
mons the real governing body Of the
country.
However, if Labor government

INk0FESSOR ROBERT STTGLER,
of Vienns University, and sew

Professor Metaja, Minister Of
The Intartcr and Statistics, propose to
organixe wall conducted public mat

baan held on several successive Satur-
days - which delegates Of numerous
sqaieties and organizations. lay and re-
Hsious, were called. Other meetings

The ideR Of the university profea-
sors Is that. through the dissolution of
the many old ties Of society, the dis
peEsion Of families in large towns and
the lack of social ssintercourse, mar
riageable girls find little opportunity
Of meeting desirabie men and that
some public Institution in the inter
ests of general welfare should under
take this task. Il
Professor Sitgler has drawn up plan
Of tho future Society for Promotion Of
Healthy and Happy Marriages.
Widows, marriageable women and
girls are to supply the directors of the
institute with photograph and ex-
plicit and true details Of their family,
situation, financial resources, capaci-
ties, age, occupation and guarantees of
the perfect honesty of their purpose.
Thsss details will be kept entirely se-
cret by the directors, and young girls
especially therefore will be less bash
full in manifesting their desire for
mAtrimony. Men are to be asked to
furnish similar particulars. and then
photographs will be shown and meet
ings arranged in the presence OF the
directors, who will try to bring suit
able partners together. II nothing
comes of the presentation the parties
simply separate, nothing is revealed
and they will not even know each
others names.

Service Spells Sales.

Some people are accustomed to buy
ing their groceries by the quart, peck
or bushel. But oftentimes they buy
by weight, and while they do they are
at a loss to know exactly how much
to order.
An eastern retail concern makes it
easy for these customers to buy either
by weight or measure By displaying,
on the counters, signs THAT read as fol-
lows: ~ peck equals 3% pounds; Il
peck equals ~ pounds" :.
This is a real bit Of service for the
customers and does away with any en-
barrassment on their part in trying to
order by weight some bit of merchan-
disc that they ordinarily bug by meas

Boy sufocated

70 - :
The disappearance from home Of
Clyde .Creech, the 12-year-old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Ben Creech, who make
their home on the v. B. Tubbs farm
east of town, was tragically accounted
for at about three o'clock Wednesday
afternoon when the legs of the dead
boy appeared in the bottom of the
chute thru which oats were being
drawn for the cleaning machine from
the granary bin. Apparently the lad
had climbed up one of the corn cribs
on either side of the oats bin and from
there had gone up to the top of the
bin, either falling or jumping down in
to the oats, It is thot that he became
buried in the grain and the heavy sue
ton from the chute in the bottom of
the bin drew the boy down into the
grain suffocating him.-Marshan
