THE WAY OF LIFE

The tulips have come and gone,
And the hyacinths are done,
But the peonies. one by one,
Burst open in the sun.
And the peonies shall go
With their loveliness too sOOn---
But the roses then shall blow
Their beauty into June.
Asters and marigold
Shall come when the roses fade.
And thus do our lives unfold
And thus are onr memories made.

And we think that they fade to

We grieve and we sigh, alas
Then come to fragrant June.
Then with the June in our hearts
Comes sorrows biting cold,
And the rose of our joy departs
And leaves us the marigold.

This is the way of earth.

And q new joy come to birth.

passports And so. loving him. and
believing in her own heart that he
was innocent, she helped him to
escape
In the last two years the pretty wife
has had cause to regret her faith
in Anspach. For soon after his es-
cape he conceived the plan that was
far and away more ambitious than
the petty forging of pawn tickets
he would use rubber stamps to set
nations against each other. And
when he hit upon that scheme he
abandoned the wife who bad helped
him to escape. She went back to
her father. heartbroken- And An
spach. working most OF the time in
disguise that never was penetrated
by the German police, concocted his
farreaching plots.
And. with the wife gone, Anspach
spent his money-it was coming in
faster and in larger sums all the
time-in the afterwar debauchesu(s
of Berlin. He entertained many
women. gave many elaborate wine
parties, and dressed as he had al
ways dreamed of dressing. In the
last year his tailor's bin alone was
250, 900 marks.

five years, or ten years, or more,
will at least know why they did it,
Anspach was 10 years old when his
parents, after many quarrels. bitter
accusations on both sides and much
fighting about the house, were di-
vorcej. The father was given GUS
tody of the boy. but a short time
later turned him out of his house.
The boy went to live in the streets.
When he was IL he became a sailor
and in many ports and on many evil
ships he picked up knowledge of
wickedness
But all that time Anspach believed
ne was better than his comrades. He
believei his brain was superior to
theirs: that somewhere in his make
up was force that would carry him
some day from the docks and the
ships and place him where he would
have money and power. He wanted
knowledge first When he was not
learning new forms of vice he was
reading books.
Finally he was admitted to the
University of Goettingen. He was a
good student He learned quickly.
But there were ugly stories about
him. 1t later developed that he had
paid most of his way through the
university by forging physicians
certificates and pawn tickets.
About the time he finished at the
university he fell in love with a
pretty girl in Goettingen, the daugh-
ter of a barrister. That is. he is sup
posed to have fallen in love, but some
of his accusers say that he married
her so that he could use her fathers
business connections and acquaint-
ances to aid him in his schemes of
forgery.
That the girl loved him there is no
doubt. She saw in him that strange
force that had brought him out of
the streets and given him an educa-
ton. She believed he was man Of
destiny, and for a long time she did
not know that he was a forger: that
he was betraying her own father.
just as he later was to betray his
own country.
Three years ago Anspach, for the
first time, was caught with evidence
against him that was indisputable.
The German officials, after receiving
numerous complaints and having
many Irregularities in passports
called to their attention, began an
Investigation. The chase narrowed
Gown to Anspach and he was ar
rested, tried on the charge of forg-
ing German passports and sentenced
to prison.
Anspach. however. had no inten-
ton of serving that sentence. A
mountebank who believed he could
deceive anybody. he suddenly decided
to prove himself insane. So success
fully did he simulate insanity that
the officials were convinced, were
even sorry for the man, and he was
interned in an asylum at Hidden
helm There for several weeks he
continued to act as an insane man. a
harmless. deluded and helpless lun-
attic. All the time he was planning
his escape.
When Anspach went to the asy-
lum his young wife became lonely.
She remembered that once she had
told her father she suspected her
husband. and her father had turned
against him But later. when the
husband was walking the grounds in
Hildenheim in the company of crazy
men and women. she began to doubt
She thought she may have been
mistaken in his guilt; certainly he

of the police, covers about thirty
typewriter pages and contains
speeches by President Ebert, For
eign Minister Rathenau and Chan
cellor Wirth. No such meeting as
the one described ever took place.
Another Of his forgeries, also in
the hands of the police, is a letter
from the Second Battalion of Pi-
oneers at Stettin. dated last March
Is and addressed to "The Chief of the
Department Of Arms in the German
Ministry of National Defense" It
bears the stamp of the Second Bat
TALON and reads:

cordingly, 1890 rifles. model ss; 24o

The letter is signed in code-the
correct code, toby Hermann,
First Lieutenant and Adjutant."
The rubber stamp, symbol of the
old German perfection of detail and
infallibility of system. carried the
forgeries of Anspach into the coun-
tries of the East, into Poland. Lithu-
ania, Silesia and others, wherever
there was client willing to pay for
misunderstanding Information"
When the fall finally came the
police found Anspach in a little room
that he had fitted UP as a laboratory
and office. The establishment was
complete for forging all sorts of Off
cial papers and communications.
Among his confederates, the police
said. were a DR.. Trumpf. a Prussian
cavalry officer named Mueller. a
Frau Sachse. wife of Captain. and
an Austrian Captain named Lustig.
Some of these are under arrest.
Much Of the information about the
identity of those who purchased An
spach's forged reports and communi-
cations comes from the confession
which Anspach made to Privy Coun-
cillor Weiss, who was in charge Of
the investigation, which finally re-
suited in the forger's downfall.
One of the clients is said to have
been M. Lefevre, the former French
Minister of War. Anspach said that
Isefevre. always suspicious at any in
timation that Germany was arming
herself again. was particularly eager
to get his reports on the prepared
ness of the German military police.
Anspach says he copied 10000 names
out OF telephone directories. 10000
more from other sources and deliv-
cred the whole list. duly stamped
with his duplicate rubber stamps. as
'the actual strength of the German
military police"
Anspach also furnished to Lefevre,
according to his confession. details
about the secret mobilization of this
army of police in the southern part
Of Germany, the drilling of German
student corps by former army Off

~ Apfl. 20 last there was
u published in the newspaper
Ukraine in Vienna the terms
Of military agreement between
Russia and Germany. Everything
was official, even to the stamps on
the document. 1t was copied several
days later in the newspapers of
and was published in the Times.
The secret treaty provided that
the German General Staff would fur
pish Russia with large quantities of
arms and ammunition, airplanes and
other materials for war, and also
would reorganize the Russian feet
and increase the production of the
Russian war industries.
In return for these services the
General Staff of Trotzky's army
agreed to deliver twenty warships
to Germany, to equip three factories
for the production of airplanes and
gas projectiles and to hold in readi
ness at the western frontier eighteen
divisions of infantry and eight divi-
sions of cavalry. The Russians also
were to build strategic railways.
The news reached Genoa just at
the time when the economic confer
ence was threatened with disruption
because of the Observation-Disclosures
trade treaty. Lloyd George threw
up his hands. He saw another well
ter of blood" The French newspa-
pers clamored for the recall of Bar
thou.
The Russians called it lie and
they were not believed. The Ger
man denials were taken as things to
be expected.
Find 500 Rubber Stamps.
Then the chief of the Berlin GRIM
inal police stepped in and saved the
day. He looked about for the most
expert forger in Germany and his
eyes rested on Erich Anspach. This
mans home was raided and the
police found just 600 rubber stamps.
With these Anspach had done as
much in the last two years to disturb
the peace of Europe as any other
one factor.
Anspach is now in prison in Ber-
lin awaiting trial. The whole force
Of the German Government, and es-
peciaIly Of the German political po-
lice. will be exerted In his prosecu-
ton.
Give me all the rubber stamps I
want and I can unhinge the world

documents. signed them and made

them where they would do the most
harm. He collected large sums Of
money from those who we're willing
to pay for the damaging documents
and then betrayed the purchasers by
giving them information that he had
invented in his own weird brain.
One of Anspach's boldest fakes
was a report to the Interallied Com
mission describing a secret session of
the German Cabinet Ministers, which
he said had been held on last March

. sending a vigorous note TO Germany
protesting against the reported secret
military preparations.
Practically all of Anspach's reports
we're signed in the same form as con-
fdential communications between
various departments of the German
Government. In each case the re-
ports were accompanied by the re-
quest to return the documents at
once in order to prevent detection"
When Anspach was arrested DR..
Gessler, German Minister of State
Defense, said:
Il have been besieged with inquir-
les regarding this fantastic German
Russian agreement. 1t has created

delight of a fiend. stressed upon those
very points that would be most GER
tain to anger our neighbors and un-
dermine every attempt to peaceful
reconstruction.
During the last two years I have
faced the puzzling fact that French

vivid shame of realizing that a Ger

Dealings With Various Officials.
A few days ago Anspach was in
terviewed as he sat in his cell. He is
| 26 years old, of strong physique and
military bearing, wears glasses and
has all the marks of a man of e6u-
cation. His expression, however. is
demoniacal at times and the man ap-
pears to be altogether cynical. He
said:
II tell the truth when / say that I

the French Commission of Control
at Berlin, with the Bureau de Re-
cherche, with the French Consulate.

eral Staff of the Army of Occupa-
ton at Mayence, with the Divisional
Staff of the French in the Castle at
Wiesbaden and with the Military At
tache- of the British Embassy at
Brussels"
But why did you do that?" he was
| asked. How did you come TO con-
| ceive the scheme and carry 1t
through ?"
| Partly for money" said Anspach,
smiling. Partly for money. but not
