A circular has been forwarded to the London "Evening News" by a reader who has received it from Germany. If, says the circular, ''you care to have a chance of winning a fortune, please send a copy of this letter to two or more of your friends m the United Kingdom or in the Colonies, and a postal order for one shilling and your name and address on a slip of paper to .» Then follows the German's name and address He explains that the letter will be numbered and every month 100 numbers will receive prizes. "Please do not break the chain," he adds, "as you will lose your chance of winning a fortune.'' And then the final piece of impudence: ''This snowball is intended to travel throughout the length of the British Empire.''
