He was so efficient that he kept a written account of all playments to, which became incrimi- | aboteurs, nating evidence when it was discov- red and used before the German- American Claims Commission. Most scnsational of von Papen’s activities in World War I were: 1. Faking U. S. passports for Ger- man reservists in this country, want- ed for military service in Germany. 2. Plotting an invasion of Canada eh British Columbia, with the 4 of German warships in the Pa- cific and German reservists in the 'nited States. 3 Blowing up the international bridge at Vanceboro, Maine. This ~#5 actually accomplished by von Papen’s agent, Werner Horn. 4. Plotting to blow up the Welland Canal in Ontario. This project was abandoned, 5. Aiding efforts to blow up mu- | nitions plants. The greatest destruc- tion of this type was at the mm-k Tom arms depot and Kingsland, arsenal. As a devout Catholic and a non- member of the Nazi Party, von Papen would no longer be in favor but for Hitler's gratitude for a past service When Hindenburg was President, von Papen persuaded him to name Hitler as Chancellor.

Untoward incidents will multi-| ply, but apologies will be accepted diplomatically until later in the season. An earthquake is to cause severe losses to the people who have been weakened by the long confliet of aggression in China. A gesture by the U.

Accidents may occur to disturb happiness, Pros- perity is forecast. Children born on this -day will be ambitious and extremely intel- lectual in their pursuits. They may be impetuous and high-geared, but fortunate all through life.

The act, similar to ones on the statute books of many states, would prevent the “loss leaders” and other practices detrimental to fair busi- ness dealing.
