Guthrie, O. T, Sept 19.-The name Of

however, that the government will insist
on putting an army officer in the place.

SPY SYSTEM

Formed by the Crafty Kruger Perfect
I'm Its WAY.
No one ever denied that Dom Paul,
president OF the South African Repub-
lie, was an astute old statesman. Time
and again he has beaten our British
cousins In diplomacy and has proved
his worth as diplomatist. AT the
time of the jameson raid it caused
Or. Jameson and his associates
considerable surprise that their plans
were known to the Beers almost as
soon as they were conceived. The
British were met, fought and defeated
by an ambushed body of men, almost
at the very beginning of the attack,
and it was believed at the time that
one OF their number had turned trail
tor and given the plans to the Beers,
but now the secret is known. The
old warrior enlisted the services
( OF the barmaids at johannesburg In the
political secret service. Through them
he learned that new men were being
enlisted In the Cape police and that
new guns were being shipped, week af-
Ter week from England Through the
same source he was informed of the
attempts that were being made by
English politicians to force the hands
OF the government of the Orange Free
State in case war should be declared
by the British government against his
country. The Englishmen babbled all
this over their cups, and the barmaids'
winning smiles and bright eyes never /,
gave them the suspicion that they were
telling stories of vital importance. |
No sooner had the pretty barmaids
enticed from the sturdy colonists their
important secret than Dom Paul was
informed. The old statesman knew
how to parry blow with blow. To the
amazement of the British, no sooner
had they increased their force of avail
able fighters by means of secret enlist
ment than they were informed that
Dom Paul had enlisted still larger
number of men. No sooner had their
guns arrived from England than they
'ound out that the Beers also had OBJ
aimed, from firm In Germany, larg-.
II number of weapons Of still better
manufacture. BY means Of always be-
ng forewarned Kruger warded off war.
