of several lines of bastioned forts,
the citadel in the southeastern part
of the town, and a. number of de=

A despatch from London says:
Writing in The. Daily Mail, on what
Canada is going to do about the ex=

coast of the Kaiser, acquired through
his agents, a writer says he was en-
abled during his connection .with the
Government department to gain much
knowledge of the activities of the
Count Alvensleben in British Colum-
bia, They bought up large tracts,
both on the mainland and Vancouver
Island, in various names, but all
ought to have been in one name alone,
William Hohenzollern, Remarking on
the uncertainty of the whereabouts
now of the Alvenslebens, who dis-
appeared after the outbreak of the
war, the article concludes "in any
case it is certain the whole of. the
Alvensleben transactions will be thor-
oughly investigated, and Canada will
not stand for any dealings with the
ex -Kaiser or his friends."
