(United Press Association.—Copyright.) LONDON, 4th September. Who is Captain A. Lowenstein, the mystery man of Biarritz, who is reported to have offered to place ten millions sterling, at the disposal of tho Belgian Government, ', without interest for tyo years? This is a question asked throughout Europe. In the meantime tho gigantic offer remains uncontradicted. Captain Lowenstein is a reputed Belgian multi-millionaire, at present living at Biarritz, though his private affairs reman a profound secret. He is said to maintain a retinue of typists, clerks, and officials, with four aeroplanes and innumerable cars. The most highly-coloured fiction written is put completely in the shade, by the life of Captain Lowenstein. An atmosphere of mystery attends every, action of this most amazing man. Hei is surrounded by secretaries, transport,' air, and health advisers, so that he is virtually a State nnt'o himself. He has privately hired a fleet of four huge air expresses, equipped with pilots and mechanics, awaiting his command, ready; to carry business emissaries to anjj point in Europe at a moment's noticed He has an army of chauffeurs and has' engaged seven villas to house his huge personal staff. The purpose of these elaborate preparations is a jealously guarded secret. The Air Transport Company which supplies the air liners cannot, even if willing, disclose the purpose of the private charter. The Under-Secretary for Air, Captain Guest, recently travelled from London in one of Captain Lowenstein's machines. This mystery; man is living in incomparable splendour, giving orders as though he had dominion over the. world's riches. Even at dinner he has officials and typists in attendance.
