Von Papeh Is Now Doing Holland on a Secret Mission (Correspondence of the Assoclated Press.) Amsterdam, Netherlands, May 20. —Captian Franz von Papen, recalled at the request of the United States government as military attache of the German embassy at Washington and who ‘has come to Holland on a secret mission, has a purpose which is three-fold, according to the Am- sterdam Telegraff, This newspaper does not merttion Captain von Papen by name but alludes to him as a "first-class specialist who only recent- ly arrived here after covering himself with world-wide fame in the exercise of functions in another neutral coun- try. The Telegraff says that the “spe- cialist” has come here, first, to ob- ‘tain_information of military and po- litical nature; to watch foreigners residing or visiting Holland; to en- deavor to influence public opinion in favor of Germany. % The German secret information service in Holland is being reorgan- ized, the Telegraaf asserts, the efforts of the “specialist” along this line be- ing the centralizing of diverse and scattered elements of the Teutonic espionage service in this country.

Also, hat's about all they got, for the cat- ike Suey, though an innocent crea- ure to look at, in reality is as deep as he bottomless pit, and as bland and unning as he is innocent apppearing. Of course, to all this, appends a warrative which an Omaha Chinese -eluctantly told after it appeared that he writer already had niost of the story anyway and was persistent enough to get the rest of it, whether or no. It seems that the Harrison law, and one or two o?er restrictions Uncle Samuel had iaccd upon the importation, manufacture and usage of the well known product of poppy seed, fail entirely to make provision for the sensitive olifactory nerve which so delights an opium smoker when there is any “tar” around. It was a week ago, when Suey Fah, a stranger, who said he lived in Minneagolis, edged into Wa On’s lit- tle Twelfth street store and got acquainted with celestial brethren there. An evening Jater, in a fan- tan game back of another Chinaman’s store, he lost a few buttons and an- nounced he was “bloke.” The an- nouncement made little impression. Strangers who go “bloke” around a fan-tan game in a Chinese emporium are in exactly the same fix as the bankrupt Celt who accompanied a Scot into a salpon. What did register an impression was a little tin can with a brass tag on it, which Suey pulled from the folds of his blouse and stuck under the nose of one of the winners, a few minutes later in a little ante-chamber. The winner sniffed curiously—once, Then a smile spread over his olive features like a rash. He perked up! Would the honorable Suey Fah of aneagolis deign to partake of some of the humble Sammie Foy’s worth- less winning? Would. the illustrious and most eminent descendant of the ellow moon flatter the entirely use- ess Sammie by sharing a mess of nice chicken livers? Yes, the illustrious Suey would par- take of the livers, but, no, he would have none of the winnings, However, if the sterling Samuel wished to be- come fabulously wealthy, he (the Min- neapolis stranger) would willingly ap- point him Omaha jobber of some 150 similar tins, providing for fair prof- it, and also if things went right, might consider him as a permanent agent fo further supplies. Anyway, the 15 tins must be sold immediately, a Suey, being of gentile birth, could il afford the pangs incident to being “bloke.” Now, to the Caucasian reader, whe hears but little of the business whicl surrounds the bamboo pipe, knov now that a tin such as Suey Fah ex hibited is worth, under present condi- tions, almost $150- It was a gooc grade of gum _opium, enough foi many, many enjoyable journeys into the land of pleasant dreams. Sammie Fey's eyes glistened like twin incandescents. “You no say to nobod!” he ex- claimed, embracing his new foun friend. During the next few days Samuel, | being, above all things, a business man, went around to his friends and promoted a sort of a stock company, capitalized at $1,200, but not legally incorporated. A day or so later 150 hermetically sealed cans, exact replicas of the first, were delivered a few at a’ time at the secret place designated. A couple of cans were picked out by Mr. Suey Fah and slit open, just to show that the en- tire consignment was up to sample grade. He picked up his money and made a date with Sammie for a yen hok party that night. Something kept him away. Some- thing continbies to keep him away. Sam's suspicions got strong about the fourth day, when one poor custo- | mer came up and offered to split him wide open with a hatchet unless cer- tain moneys were refunded immedi- ately, if not sooner. Me tendered back one can of perfectly good Trini- dad tar, such as is used in making pavements for Flivvers to gallop on. It was as unlike the “tar” necessary to a good, quiet smoke as quinine is like honey. Other cans were opened. The investigation is complete now. The Omaha syndicate paid $1,200 for just about three cans of opium, and of these three two had only inch lay- ers of opium spread on a base of as- phalt. The rest of the story is that the pus- syfooting Mr. Suey Fah, according to an Omaha Chinaman, is traveling around the country promoting similar enterprises, and probably will con- tinue to do so until overtaken by one of those queer little steel hatchets with which Chinese chop food, and | other things. LOOK FOR WASHED UP HINES| Coast of Holland Patrolled for En- gines of Death That Have Been Sent Adrift. GREAT DANGER TO NAVIGATION (Correspondence of the Assoclated Press.) The Hague, Netherlands, May 20.— More than washed ashore on the coasts of Hol- land. These include 535 English, sixty-one French and 193 German, the others being classed as “origin unknown.” A majority of them were cast up h'y the sea at points in the estuary of the Schedlt river, in the extreme southwestern part of Hol- land, which is nearest to the vast minefield designed to bar ingress from the North sea into the English channel. Many mines, however, drift higher up, and some even reach the chain of islands which form the natural sea barrier of Holland’s northern coast. Swift destroyers are constantly on the lookout for mines on the route followed by the Holland-America liners. . Only recently, visitors to Scheven- ingen, a fashionable bathing resort, witnessed a battery of machine guns firing from the promenade on a mine floating past the pier head. Cast Away and Destroyed. The practice of the Dutch naval authorities is to destroy these cast- aways when and where they are found. “Virtually all mines that are washed ashore here are anchored mines,” said a Dutch naval commander to The Associated Press correspondent. “These as their name indicates are mines that are kept afloat a few feet beneath the surface of the sea by a weight attached to them by half inch or three-quarter inch cables. They keep stationary for perhaps a couple of months; but after that lge actjon of the sea water, causes corrosion of some part of the attaching gear and the next gale breaks them loose from their moorings. So they become drifting mines and, as such, dangers to navigation. They should not be confused with drifting mines proper, which are those which are sown by warships or mine-layers in their own wake when pursued by an enemy. These mirnes, of an altogether differ- ent type, must become ineffective, as prescribed by The Hague convention, within a few hours. That is, they sink to the bottom automatically. All those found in Dutch waters were once anchored and had broken away from their anchorage. “The great majority of them are harmless if properly handled, and the only trouble is to prevent people who don't know anything about mines from fooling around them. A month or $o ago, for instance, a French mine came ashore on the coast of the island of Schouwen, in the province of Zee- land. This mine had the familiar French cable attached which, when pulled hard, explodes the mine. Five fishermen, observing a bit of cable hanging from the monster, thought it handy for pulling it in. They began to drag it along, and the inevitable happened. A few scraps of clothing was all that was left o? the men. Washed Up Mine Explodes. “In_the case of a mine washed up near Domburg, in Zeeland, nine on- lookers were killed by a premature explosion and much material damage was done, too. Compensation was re- fused by both state and local au- thorities. The government felt it could not establish a precedent. Grants were made unofficially, how- ever, to some poor folks whose hormes were completely ruined.” Seafaring men of Holland apparent- ly have become accustomed to the new ?eril of the deep. The old ter- ror of mines has largely disappeared. Sailors coming into port tell with the greatest composure of having sighted “so-and-so many mines,” -nfi display little fear at meeting them again. The death roll in this country from mine explosions so far does not exceed a score. N 1,000 mines have been| War is Likely to Put an End to the Drgfllss Affair (Correspondence of the Assoclated Press.) Paris, May 25—The war is ex-| pected to terminate all controversy | over the Dreyfus affair, which was still a subject of division among Frenchmen at the beginning of hos- | tilities. The royalist paper, the Ac-| tion Francaise, has dropped its daily reminder of what it declared to be ir- regularities committed by the court of appeals in favor of Dreyfus, and papers of all shades of opinion do, honor to those involved on both sides | of the question who have distin- guished themselves in the war.

Commandant Dreyfuss himself is still command- ing the artillery of a sector of the en- trenched camp of Paris. Of the men identified with the movement against Dreyfuss, Colonel du Paty de Clam and his sons have all won the war cross and all of them have been promoted in the Legion of Honor.
