OUR SECRET SERVICE.


In the last estimates OF the govern
ment an expenditure for spies was duly
and candidly reported. says the Satur-
day Evening Post. The conventional
lists of the European nations opened
their eyes in amazement. OF course,
every army had spies, but nobody was
supposed to acknowledge it officially.
They said the Americans were really a
most extraordinary people. 1t was in
its way the same kind of Revolutionary
work that this government did in
diplomacy-it made the traditional
diplomacy ridiculous by making the
modern diplomacy truthful.
Few realize the extent of secret serv-
ice work in the modern trade Of war.
The books of instruction and the whole
education in the naval and military
life impress the Importance of know
Ing everything possible about the
geography, the habits, the resources
and the conditions of every nation
strong enough to fight. Thus the world
il mapped in every war Office, and rep
resentatives of every army are looking
around to see what the other armies
are doing. Sometimes there are dis
coveries and scandals-but, scandal or
no scandal, the work goes steadily on.
In fact, the spy, whether he be after
the plans of fertilization in an era
of peace or in the ranks in the enemy
in the midst of war, is being developed
not only in keenness and intellectual
accomplishments, but in his standing
before the world. When caught he n
still spy, and when successful he is
still hero, but there is less DISPOSE
ton to shoot him over night than there
used to be. Thus the most hazardous
part of the war business is much
safer than ii used to be.
The Manchester Guardian, which in
some respects is the most influential
paper in Great Britain, called Fun
ston's exploit in the capture of Aguin.
aldo shabby, and thought that the
Emitted States was lowering itself to
indorse such methods. OF course, il
might have thought differently il the
little Kansan had captured DeWet and
presented him to the British army, and
it really makes no difference, because
the other English papers, with few ex-
ceptions, recognized the full size Of
the act; but it is useful in showing the
spirit of competition and jealousy that
still remains between the nations
even between nations that talk OF
union of interests.
This is one of the unacceptable ef.
fects of war progress as well as of wal
making. Great navies and great
armies stimulated to the limit OF
equipment and expenditure create
deep jealousies that wonderfully helE
the iron and steel interests, but place
an awful handicap on the brotherhood
of man.

The urgent need Of this action can
be gathered from the fact that the is
land was once 40 miles in length.
while to-day it is barely half that
length and only two miles in width.
The encroachments of the sea have
gradually shifted the sand until now
over half of the island is completely
