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 a man Of
destiny, and for a long time she did
not know that he was 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
down 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
informed 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
Hidenheim in the company of crazv
men and women. she began to doubt.
She thought she may have been
mistaken in his guilt; certainly he
was not guilty Of forging German
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 had helped
him to escape. She went back to
her father heartbroken. And An
spach. working most of the time in
a 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 debaucheries
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 taior's bill alone was
100000 marks.

European countries had its origin
far back in the dawn of history.
One of the earliest of these signs
was on the insignia of a scribe. The
record Of 1t was found in the Nippur
collection of tablets on a lump of clay
that had been used to seal a bottle of
Babylonian wine. On the clay the
owner of the coat of arms rolled his
seal cylinder, thus leaving an i'm
preston that has remained for moro
than 1000 years.

the dynasty of Akkad, 3. c., $500,
Sargon, Rimush and Manishtusu.
Besides the newly found frag-
ment the collection in the Museum
contains other tablets Of the same
class. One of these is one-half OF
what must have been the standard
work on chronology. 1t was a work
complete in twelve columns, six on
the diverse from left to right and
six on the reverse from right to left.
Column twelve is accordingly the re-
verse of column one and column
eleven is opposed to column two.
This half tablet gives on the diverse
and reverse the beginning and the
end Of the chronological scheme
down to 1000 B. c., but gives no
clew to the length of time covered
by the missing portion or how to
connect the fabulous kings who sue
ceeded the flood with those of the
dynasties of Ur and Isin. It's text
extends across columns one. two and
three on the diverse and includes
columns ten. eleven and twelve on
the reverse. Before the gap it fixes
the dynasties Of Kish, Uruk, Ur and
AVIAN. After the gap are given the
dynasties Of Akkad Guti and Isin.
Columns Are Broken Off.
1.-The new fragment fits in the gap.
It represents a portion of the text
of columns four to five Of the diverse
and seven to nine of the reverse,
with few signs Of columns three
and ten, very useful to link 1t up with
the text of the tablet Just described.
Unfortunately 1t does not belong to
the same identical tablet. Their
thickness is different. 1t Is still more
damaged. Top and bottom Of all the
columns are broken off.

presence of a mangled text, the

~ N April 20 last IHeTe was
published in the newspaper
Ukraine in Vienna the terms
of a 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
Warsaw and then it got to London
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 fleet
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 projectilcs and to hold in readl-
ness at the western frontier eighteen
divisions Of infantry and eight divi-
sions Of cavalry. The Russians also
were to buil5 strategic railways.
The news reached Genoa just at
the time when the economic confer
ence was threatened with disruption
because of the decentralization
trade treaty. Lloyd George threw
up his hands. He saw another well

pers clamored for the recall Of Bar

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
ewes 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.
Ansnach is now in prison In Ber-
lin awaiting trial The whole force
Of the German Government, ana es-
pec!ally of the German political po-
lice, will be exerted in his prosecu-
ton.

With rubber stamps, clever dupIi-
Gates Of the originals, he drew up the
documents, signed them and made
them appear official. Then he sent
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 Interalied Com
mission describing a secret session OF

Dealings With Various officials.

A few days ago Anspach was in
terviewed as he sat in his cell. He Is
&c years old, Of strong physique and
military bearing wears glasses and
has all the marks of a man of edu-
cation, His expression, however, is
demonacal at times and the man APP
pears to be altogether cynical. He
said:

was in constant communication with
the French Commission Of Control
at Berlin, with the Bureau de Re-
cherche, with the French Consulate,
with the Department of Economy OF
the English representatives with the

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 10 con-
ceive the scheme and carry it
through"

all for that. I wanted to be the direc-

An Open Letter To Mr.. D. HamiI-
ton Jackson, President St. Cfoix
Labor Union.
Christiansted, st, Croix, V. /.

y Dear SIR
Since your return from the United
Estates we have been observing every
step you make in the St. Croix La,
Dor Union of which we are members.
When leaving for the States you told US
in your farewell address BE vigilant,
be sober, be loyal, be true to our cause.
Hardly three months after your absence
friction arose in all parts of our i~nstitu-
tion-and we feel that you know who
was the trouble-maker! With your Lass
impressive words in our hearts, together
with the confidence we then placed in
you, we remained faithful to our %institu-
ton and the former president. On your
return home, instead of redress for our
grievances, we are whipped by scorpions.
You asked our assistance for a course
in law, that you might protect US from
injustice! Today you are using that op-
~pOrtunity to prosecute our defenselesS
members in court.
You said we were enslaved by the
white people, and you would redeem US.
and make us free. We followed where
you led, as blind men would. After our
five years of struggle you are using the
sheriff to eject our members from the
ten-by- ten rooms on our OWN estates, and
these same white people whom you
taught US to despise and regard as ty-
rants are nov giving US shelter.
You have, OF the other hand opened
our magnificent dwellings to your strang.
ers and non-union friends, where they
live in luxury.
Our meeting houses, owned BY Catho-
lies, Moravians, Anglicans, L~utherans.
and others are turned over for free use to
the A. M. E. Church just established:
while its members boast that they will
close the door of the other churches.
Such a propaganda to be given birth in a
non-denOminatiOnal society as the Union!
The men who openly denounced YOU
r. our Union are your nearest friends
today. Why did you not say to US that
you changed your tactics, and let US all
change at the same time?
Don't you know how, by lies, scandal
and SANDER, open and under cover the
Union and the island have been almost
destroyed; how the peace and sere nifty of
of our once beautiful island disa ppeared ?
Has such a fearful condition ever exist
ed? And who introduced the evil among
us ?
Dear Mr.. President, this is a protest
against the advantage taken of Union
Members who are all entitled to equal
rights in our properties: If things con-
tinue to drift this way we shall have to
appeal o the Government for protecti~

DECEIVED BY STABLE SCENT
Probably Green Will Never Know Why
 He Failed to Make a Firm Friend of Jones.

It was one night that Jones had given over to the whims of his wife and this particular evening she had picked out to visit the Greens on the hill. Now, Jones disliked Grean for some reason, but Green insisted on cultivating his friendship for business reasons, 30 whenever they met Green would salaam low and strive In every way to win the pleasure Of his neigh bor. 8. | If Jones' lawn looked as if it needed watering Green would suggest the use of his hose and go so far as to send his young son over to spray the plot, and if this or that was wrong on his car Jones was almost certain to receive some suggestions or assistance from Green. -.. e-e.ess
 When the Joneses arrived this eve ming, every attention was given them, according to New York Sun writer. The mere allusion to any topic would send Green into spasms of eloquence, and for some reason or other Green picked on the discussion of horses. He ranged on the subject frem colts to old mares and from pacers to trotters, and nags were delved into at great length. Histories were recited and the dis course fairly reeked with facts and figures. +<
 Jones for his wifes sake made a good play at being extremely interest ed and listened .intently for, several hours. After they had gone Green told his wife, 'T guess got him going. I am certain to win him over now when present my proposition to him. And do you know how I did 1t? recognized the 'odor of an equestrian about him as soon as he stepped through the door and talked horses to him all the time Pretty clever, eh?"
 But on their way home Mrs. Jones remarked, "I wonder why MT. Green | persisted in talking horses2 Evidently he does not know that you are not in, terested in animals of any kind"
 q wonder myself why he tried tc i talk me deaf on that fool subject

 accelerator and shot his~ car over g railroad crossing, swearing softly that

than it has been for a long time. Coppers, certainly, are selling at bargain levels. .i.
 "Money conditions should contin- ue good. There is no question that the banks are in strong position. The Federal Reserve Banks today have reserves equal to about 76%, of their note and deposit liabilities. The reserve required is between 359o and 409o. It is true, that when foreign countries begin to get on their feet, it will be necessary to send much of this gold back. For the present, however, ehis gold rep resents the basis on which a consid- erable expansion of credit can be built. It guarantees to us a rela- lively easy money rate, until heavy gold exports are resumed During the coming year, borrowers need have little fear of a lack of funds for all legitimate purposes, and this also applies to fong-term money, that is, capital for permanent in vestment. Mortgage rates during 1928 should work lower.s Today, the average rate of real estate mort gages throut the United States is between. 6@o and 736. The time is not far away when this average will stand between 5q6 and SC.
 "Of course, the ease of the money market is distinctly favorable to longtime bonds. There is a point in the business cycle when industry becomes so active that money is ab- sorbed by trade. When this occurs bonds are sold and develop a dowu- ward tendency. This point in the cycle has not yet appeared. More over, history shows that following the Civil War bond prices, barring temporary fluctuations, rose for a long period of years, the advance eliminating about 1900. From this point, a descent was gradually made to a low point at the end of the European War. Since this low point, history is repeating itself, bonds having reached q middle ground, but still far below the 3.80 or 4Gc basis of the 1900 period. All these factors suggest that we'll seL- c,tad bonds. both municipal and corporation, arc distinct purchase.
 Bonds ard money, concluded Mr. Babson, Eare certainly sound factors in the situation. As for busi. ness as a whole, there is no doubt that it will average better this com ing year than it did in 1922. This does not mean that there will be any boom, but that there will be plenty of money-making opportunities for those who know fundamental con ditions."
 General business according to the index of the Babsonchart stands at only go below normal, the same as a week ago.

Egg Laying Contest

In spite of the Severe cold wea- ther which we have had during the past week the birds in the egg lay ing contest laid only 34 eggs less than last week. They laid 1913 eggs more than last year, 911 eggs more than the e;glt year ave<age and $50 eggs more than the highest weeks production for the same period during the last ten years. During the seventh week of 1the egg layjng contest the 100 pens pro- duced total of 2505 eggs or a yield If more than tn'rt }-tiVe Dor cent.
 It is the first time si1 e tF" :'of- te@t started iest Novemo ar tha, pen of Rhode Island Reds won first place for the week. Fernside Farms $ pen of Rhode Island Reds was first with production of 50 eggs. Pussy Willow Egg Farms pen of White ,Leghorns from East Moriches, +. l., was a close second with score ot 49 eggs. A pen of White Leghorns owned by Hollywood Farm, Holly wood, Wash, was third with total of AS eggs. Frank P. Matteson,'s pen of White Wyandottes from Davis vile, R. l., was fourth with a pro- duction of AT eggs.
 Now is the time for poultry1nen tc be planning on mating his breeding pens. Only birds that have strong constitutional vigor should be used It is best, if possible, to use only birds that have proven their value as shown by their trap-nest records high fertility of eggs and that arc free from Bacilliary White Diarrhes Constitutional vigor is not onl! shown by the physical vigor of th' birds but in large degree on' should be governed by the livibilit! of chicks that have been matched
