London has discovered the existence of a new and weird or t ganization rejoicing in the title of \ “ Ye Ancient Order of Froth-Blowers,” ’ of which-the head an<yfront, or in the of the order, the ‘'No. 1” is i ''no less a person than Sir Alfred ; Fripp, the king’s surgeon. ' Let it be said at once, for Sir Al fred’s. reputation for sobriety* tho order, at any rate, as far as he is con > cernejl, is not a mere beep drinking or . ganization—though its members are supposed to “gollop their beer with aest,” and to be adepts at “the- noble | art and gentle and healthy pastime of ; froth-blowing.** It Is in fact a char-' itable society which aims assist .East side London slum children, and already it contributed handsome' sums to various charities. The order has some 6,000 members*’ a number whichTs growing dally, for every true Froth-Blower must bring in new members. The outward badge of the order is engraved silver cuff links, and the wearers thereof carry “passes” or “permits” purporting to grant permission for them to wear the cuff links in the United States and other* foreign countries. * A “Blower” (the lowest' grade) must never , wear Oxford or “Bor stal Blazers.” He must pay a Sub scription of 5* shillings per year. Next in rank conies th/ “Blaster,” who must undertake to obtain 25 mem ber*, to eat wbeTkfc «nly with a steel fork; to chew tSe date stamp ofT his railroad ticket; eat asparagus with boxing gloves on his • hands; to doff his hat to all pawnbrokers’ signs and brewers’ drays, and to qarry a cork screw. Highest of all comes the “Gran<! Typhoon”—a rank specially created for Jack Hayes, who secured 1,000 new “Blowers” in six weeks. ~ • f —i|k 4p e< * iMpp—revealed eke £f£ulion of this post in a circular letter to the order as follows; “My dear Froth-blowers. In ac knowledging the receipt of the •won derful sum of £4OO from you for our Wee Waifs fund . . . please accept our earnest congratulations, and es pecially do we thank the Blasters for" their additional zeal, and In particular, the grand typfroon (Jack Hayes) for his wonderful record of 1,000 new Blowers In six wbeks. You are help ing me to help those who are unable to help themselves. Get on with it, boys.” The money referred to is the bal ance of members’ subscriptions after payment for stationery and cuff links.

Operative in Secret Service j Relates Incident. I - \ / " Toronto, Ont.—A popular belief, ! which has persisted throughout the last twelvesj'ears, that British troops j fired the first shot on the Englisli- I speaking side of the allied armies, was | shattered by the declaration of Earle i.Kelly, an Australian, that his country ’ tired on Germany the very day, August 4, that Great Britain declared war on Germany. Kelly was in the Australian secret service throughout the war and his narrative indicates that even before Great Britain had formally declared r war the Australian secret service was in possession of German secret orders. 'f Code Was Distributed. According to the Australian’s story Germany had sent a sealed secret code to all German merchantmen scattered over the Seven seas. Upon receipt of a telegram from Berlin, which * read: “Siegfrid is Tilt;” these merchantmen were to make for the nearest neutral port and there await instructions as to their future movement. v On the day that Great Britain de clared war a German merchant vessel, tjjie Pfalz, was lying at anchor In Mel bourne harbor. When Its captain re-„ eeived the cablegram he put to sea acHop speed. Before the Pfalz had covered the forty miles between Port Melbourne and the entrance to Port Phillip, the naval-authorities had recetoed fateful word, that the mother country was at war. Orders were immediately given to the fort to hold up the Pfalz. , Two shots were fired across its bows ’ before it was brought around. Port authorities and secret service officials knew three German merchant- * mes were Melbourne bound and they ! decide!! I 9 £oard one of the vessels ! find search it. ~ ' Key Is Seised. Three days later the Wildenfels ar rived, but when an intelligence officer boarded the boat at Port Phillip he found the code book, but no key. After taking possession, o£ the vessel he an nounced his Intention of sleeping In the captain’s cabin. Shortly after midnight he heard the door of the cabin stealthily opened and the second officer appeared. Just as he was re moving the code key from a secret panel in the bulkhead the intelligence officer covered him with a flashlight and a revolver. Next day it was translated, copied and transmitted to the British admi ralty and to admirals of British naval units all over the world. Several weeks passed before Berlin discovered that her code was . public property. Meanwhile, several impor tant discoveries were made, including location of naval v emergency coaling bases in the Pacific and the text of the secret messages sent to German j fleet units then out of their home bases. i In the first precious weeks of the j war, when the Seven seas were being combed for merchantmen and naval units of German |ieet, the code was of immense value.
