Under the headlines “Revelations of I. T.T Lincoln, formerly number of Parliament, who became ty German spy, the New York World prints a detailed story by Mr. Ignatius Timothy Tribich Lincoln, who was elected Liberal M.P. for Darlington in January, 19910, but was not a candidate in the election of December, 1010.

Up to 7 nothing happened Then Mr. Lincoln remonstrated with the Acting Chief of the Secret Service. He got unsatisfactory ex- planations of the delay and, growing more and more anxious, he enlisted the interest of Sir Henry Dalziel, who promised to take up the matter with Lord Kitchener himself," and called on Mr. Churchill, whom he did not see."

"The plan I mapped out was nothing less them a decision to and out important military and naval secrets and betray them to the Central Powers, and having achieved that, to quit-England for ever if still alive":

Mr. Lincoln refers, thus cryptically to the cause of his failure to accomplish any real harm to the country that honoured him by election to its Turliament. "There was only one chance that I would not succeed-one cliance only. I knew how it could rise.
