III IS nEATH TO THE FROG.

The furry which was caused in the
army circles of the United States by
the report published that some one had
secured the plans for the new French
field gun. and stood ready to build
sample for the government, is but
faint echo of the excitement over the af-
fair in Paris. '''
The french guard their military and
naval secrets with jealous care, and woe
betide him who is convicted of revealing
them. In their excitement the French
press even accuses United States Minis
ter Porter, of being implicated in the Sc
cret of the wonderful gun.
The incident Of the field gun is not yet
closed. A letter stating that the plans
have been secured is reported to be in
the desk. of Gen. Burlington. How it got
to the public press is the question that Is
agitating Gen. Miles. There is little
doubt that the United States government
is back of any scheme to secure informa-
ton and pays we'll for it, nevertheless it
is a serious offense to divulge it,
With the Dreyfus affair still green in
the memory, one can imagine how ner-
vous the French spy, who furnished the
information feels just now
This field gun episode brings up a SINH
lar matter which occurred in 1892. A
clerk in the French navy department by
the name of Granier was accused of di-
vulging certain plans for the mobilizing
of the French fleet and of furnishing
plans of fertifiea tons to be photographed,
to the military. attaehes of the American
legation at Paris. When the matter was
brought TO the attention of the United
States ambassador, Mr.. Coolidge, the
French minister was informed that the
attache, Capt: Borup. admitted having
received the informa ton, but that he had
paid for it, as was the custom among
the military attaches at Paris
In response to a request from the
French government Capt Borup was re-
called. The clerk, Granier, was sentenced
to twenty years of penal servitude, to
be followed by twenty years Punishment
from France.
