MYSTERIES REGARDING ore FAMOUS PEOPLE en There have been greater mysteries ver. in real life than were ever conceived ce in the ' brain of, novelist. Certain nd strange happenings the solutions to which were never uncovered have come down to us over the ages and, specu- lation is still rife with reference to 3nany of them, John E. ,Watkins has gathered together the stories of many of the most famous mysteries in a book that has just been • published. The most interesting bits deal with famous personages. Mystery, when involving person- ages who have had a dominating place in history part from the mere mystery usually has taken the form of the problem of definite sex, the problem of cradle substitution, or the problems of eventual fate. Thus the secret of Queen Elizabeth of England, accord- ing to ingenious theorists, was that the person so' known was in reality a man and not a child of Henry .VIII at all. That theory_ explains so much; Elizabeth's failure to =marry, her at- titude to inquisitive physicians, her marvellous' collection of wigs, her mas- culinity of appearance and demeanor. According to the tale, the child Eliz- abeth died suddenly in a village of Gloucestershire during a pestilence. • Those to wohm the Prir}cess had been entrusted sought a child sufficiently resembling Elizabeth to allow a sub- stitpption that would deceive the King. Unable to find a girl they discovered a boy by the name of Neville, who was dressed in the Princess' clothes a n d subsequently masqueraded through life as Queen Elizabeth. A somewhat similar story made Prince James Edward Francis Stuart, later known as the Chevalier St. George, not the son of King- James and his consort, but actually a child of Sir Theophilus Oglethorpe. nine days older than the Prince of Wales, and substituted for him in the cradle with the connivance of the King and Queen. A third tale of the kind made Louis Philippe of France an I Italian peasant child, one Chiappini, the son of a jailer who was, well paid for hav- ing his baby placed in line for suc- cession to the throne of France, in- stead of the heir of Philippe Egalite, Duke of Orleans. The Citizen King's til m h, w al e - en ok for ch act n- n- ps in Ad on ch of old is. e- or - e 0 t, e Iy e 0 of e d t. a a d e democratic ways and sincere espousal k of the people's cause were supposed o to have been the result of this plebeian blood. Whoever the Peter Ney who ended life as= a schoolmaster of South Caro- 1 Lina may have been, there always will be an element of mystery about the alleged execution of Napoleon's fiery Marshal. His trial and its prelimin- aries were conducted by secret meth- ods. Members of the Assembly who voted for his death did so with the understanding that the death sentence was to be commuted. When Louis Napoleon became Emperor he is .sup- posed to have had Ney's grave open- ed, with the reputed result that the coffin was found not to contain a single relic of a human corpse. According to the deathbed story attributed to Peter Ney, Wellington had interceded and saved his life. This firing squad had been instructed to fire' over his head, but not until he should give they signal by pressing his hand, to his heart, by which action he burst a • bag of red fluid secreted beneath -his shirt. To insure the suc- cess of these deceptions trusted men from his own command were selected. Spirited away after falling at the vol- ley, he was hurried to Bordeaux; thence embarking for Charleston. Almost as circumstantial is the le- gend that has persisted about the escape of Joan of Arc from the fagot pile of the market place of Rouen. According to conventional history the Maid of Orleans met her death in the flames and the ashes were thrown in- to the Seine. But Some chroniclers have held that the purpose of the English in drawing up a cordon of soldiers and ecclesiastics at a dis- tance sufficiently far to prevent any of the populace from gaining a good view of the martyr at the stake was in order that an effigy or substitute might be burned in°her stead. That would account for the apparent in- gratitude of the French King, who made no effort in her behalf, and for the fact that eight years after the supposed execution a woman appear- ed in Orleans claiming to be the Maid and was recognized as such by thousands, among them Joan's two brothers, John and.

It appears a it knew where every submarine practically was at all times and a chart was kept on which the lo - Astons of the prowling ,pirates were marked. How this information was secured and what use was made of it constitute two of - the most vital sec- rete that so far have been revealed. He writes in part: I have already said that there were comparatively few submarines, per- haps not more than .an average of eight or nine,, which were operating at the same time in the waters south and west of Ireland, the region with which we Americana were most con- cerned. These boats betrayed their locations in a multitude of ways. Their commanders were particularly careless in the use of wireless. The Germanic passion for. conversation could not be suppressed even on the U-boats and even though this national habit might lead to the most < serious consequences. Possibly also the soli- tary submarine felt lonely; at any rate as soon as it reached the Chan- nel or the North Sea, it started an almost uninterrupted flow of talk. The U-boats 'communicated principally with each other, and also with the Admiralty at home; and, in doing th they 'gave away their positions the assiduously listening Allies. T radio -direction finder. an apparatus which we can instantaneously lot the position from which a wirele message is sent, was the mechanis which furnished us . much of this i formation. Of course, the Germ knew that their messages reveal their locations, for they had directi finders as well as we, but the fear discovery did not act as a curb upo a naturally loquacious nature. A we had other ways of following the movements. The submarine spend much the larger part of its tine the surface. ` Sailing thus conspic ously, it was constantly being sigh ed by merchant or military ship which had explicit_ instructions to - port immediately the elusive vers and to give its exact location. Ag it is obvious that a submarine cou not fire at a merchantman or torped one, or even attempt to torpedo on without revealing its presence. Th wireless operators of all mercha vessels were supplied at all tim with the longitude and latitude their ships; their instructions requi ed , them immediately to send out t information whenever they sighted submarine or were attacked by on In these several ways we had litt difficulty in "shadowing" the U-boat For example, we would hear that U-5 was talking just outside of Helig land; this submarine would be im mediately plotted on the chart. A the submarine made only about to knots on the surface, in order to sav oil, and much, less under th surface; we could draw a circle aroun this ,point, and rest assured that th boat must be somewhere within thi circle at a given time. But in a f hours or _a day we would hear fro this same boat again = perhaps it w using its wireless ` of attacking ' ' merchantman; or perhaps one of ou vessels had spotted it on the surfac The news of this new location woul justify the convoy officers in movin this submarine on our chart to hi new position. Within a short time the convoy officers acquired an aston ishingly intimate knowledge of thes boats and the habits of their com menders. Indeed, the personalitie of some of these German officers ulti mately took shape with surprisin clearness; for they betrayed thei presence in the ocean by character istics that often furnished a mean of identifying them. Each submarin behaved in, a different way from th others, the difference, of course, being the manifestation of the human ele ment in control. One would delive his attacks in rapid succession boldly and almost recklessly; another woul approach his task with the utmos caution; certain one would ,display the meanest traits in human nature; while others—let us be just—were capable of a'certain display of gen- erosity, possibry�even of chivalry. By studying the indil!vidual traits of each commander ',we could often tell just which one was operating at a given time; and this information was ex- tremely valuable in the game in which we were engaged. "Old Hans is ,out again," the offi- ars in the convoy room would re- mark. They were speaking of Hans Rose, the commander of the U-53; the. -ams submarine officer who, in. the all of 1916, brolght that boat to Newport, R. I., and torpedoed five or ix ships off Nantucket. They never aw Hans Rose' face to face; they ad not the faintest idea whether he vas fat or lean, whether he was a fond or a brunette, yet they knew is military characteristics intimately. �e became such a familiar personality n the convoy room and his methods f operation were so individual, that e came to have almost a certain king for the old chap. Other U - oat commanders would appear off he hunting grounds and attack ships more or less east -going fashion. hen another boat would suddenly ap- ear, and—bang! bang! bang! Torpe- o after torpedo would fly, four or ve ships would sink, and then this isturbing person would vanish as nexpectedly as he had arrived. Such experience in formed the convoy fficers. that H'ns Rose was once more large. we acquired a certain re- act for Hans because he was a brave an who would take chances which ost of his compatriots avoided; and, ove all, because he played his des - rate game with a certain °decency, metimes, when he torpedoed a ship, ose would wait around till all the ,eboats were filled; he would then row out a tow line, give the victims od, and keep all the survivors to- ther until the rescuing destroyer peered on the horizon, when he uld. let go and submerge. This hu- anity involved considerable risk to ptain Rose; a destroyer anywhere his neighborhood, as he well knew, s a serious matter. It was he who pedoed our destroyer, the Jacob nes. He took a shot at her from distance of two miles—a distance m which a hat is a pure chance. e torpedo struck and' sank the vas - within a few minutes. On this anion- Rose acted with his usual ency. The survivors of the Jacob es naturally had no means of com- nication, since the wirless had gone wn with their ship; and now Rose, considerable risk to himself; sent is to he by ate 8s m v- ans ed on - of n nd; it s u- s, re- el, airs ld00 e, e nt es of r - his a e. le s. 3 0-1 ;$ n ve e e s m as a r e. d g s e s g s e r t in fi an at ab pe So th fo ge wo 111 Ca in wa tor Jo a fro Th sel occ dec Jon mu do at JANUARY 16,140 tude and longitude, . and informing Queenstown that the men were float - Mg around in ?pen boats. It is per- haps not eurpricing that Rose is one of the few German U-boat com- manders with whom Allied naval officers would be willing to -day to shake hands. I have heard naval officers say that they would like to meet him after the war. We were able to individualize other commanders; acquiring this knowledge leartang the location of their sub- marines and the characteristic of their boats, and using this vital in- formation in proctetting convoys, was all part of the game which was be- ing played hi London. It was the greatest game of "chess" which his- tory has known—a game that exacted not only the moist faithful and studi- ous care, but in which it was neces- sary that all the activities should be centred in , one office. This small group, composed of representatives of all the nations concerned, exercised a control which extended throughout the entire convoy system. It regulat- ed the dates when 'convoys sailed -from Almaden or other ports and when they arrived; if it had not taken charge of this whole system, conges- tion and confusion would inevitably have resulted. We had only a limited number of destroyers to escort all troops and other important convoys arriving in _Europe; it was therefore necessary that they should arrive at regular and pre -determined intervals. It was necessary also that One group of officers should -control the routieg of all convoys, otherwise there would have been serious danger of collisions between outward and inward_ bound convoys, and no possibility of routing them clear of the known positions of submarines. The great centre of all this traffic was not New York or Hampton Roads, but London. It was inevitable, if the convoy system was to succeed, that it should have a great central headquarters, and it was just as inevitable that this headquarters should be London. On the huge chart already described each convoy, indicated by a little boat, was shown steadily making its progress towerd the appointed rendez- vous. Eight or nine submarines, like- wise indicated on the chart, were al- ways waiting to intercept it. , On that great board every prospective tragedy of the seas was thus unfold-- ieg. Here, for example, was a New York convoy of twenty shipS, steam- ing toward Liverpool, but 1 steering straight toward the positidn of a submarine; The thing to do was per- fectly plain. . It was a simple matter to send the convoy a wireless mes- sage to take a course fifty miles to the south ' where, according to the chart, there were no hidden enemies. In a few hours the little paper boat representing this group_ of ships ap- parently head d for destruction, would suddenly turn southward,:pass around the entirely nconscious submarine, hnd then take an unobstructed course for its destination. The Admiralty convoy board knew so accurately the position of all the submarines that it could alinost always route the convoys around them. It was an extremely interesting experience to watch the paper ships on this chart deftly. turn out of the course of Utboats, some- times when they seemed almost on the point of colliding with them. That we were able constantly to save the ships by sailing the. convoys around the submarines brings oat another fact—even had there been no destroyer escort the convoy in itself would have formed a great protection to merch- ant shipping. There were times when we had no eseorting vessels to send with certain convoys; and in such in? stances we simply routed the ships in masses, directed them on courses whiclie we knew were free of sub - them safely into port. marines, and in this lay brought David Harum Continued from Page 7 "You're real kind, I'm sure," re- sponded Mrs, Cullom, replying to the other's welcome and remarks seriatim, "I guess, thought, I don't look much like Cynthy Sweetland, if do feel twenty- years ybunger 'n I did a while ago; an' I have ben cryin', I allow, but not fer sorro', Polly Harum," she exclaimed, giving the other her maiden name.

Here Aunt Polly's sense of humor as- serted itself. "What's Dave ben up to now?" she asked. And then the widow told her story, with tears and smiles, and the keen enjoyment which we all have in talk- ing about ourselves to a sympathetic listener like Aunt Polly, whose inter- jections pointed and illuminated the narrative. When it was finished she leaned forward and kissed Mrs. Cul- lom on the cheek. "I can't tell ye how glad I be for ye," she said; "but if I'd known that David held that morgidge, could hey told ye ye needn't hev worried your- self a mite. He wouldn't never have taken your prop'ty, more'n he'd rob a hen -roost.
