Spies.

There should be no surprise at the re-
ports that foreign spies have for some
time been busy looking over our fortifica-
tions and harbor defenses and acquaint-
ing themselves with other details Of the
continental and insular war machinery.
This is a big country. Tremendously big
country, in fact, covering an immense
area and exposed to the public view from
many angles. 1t has heretofore been
rather careless. in it's guardianship OF
certain facts which are generally sup
posed to be sacredly secret. 1t can hard

stations armed guards around all the
batteries and arsenals and establishments
where war materials are prepared. grant
ing admission to no one without official
certification of citizenship character and

Judging from some of the reports that
have reached the War Department. the
foreign spies operating in the American
field have been a careless lot. losing their
drawings and blueprints on the streets
and failing In the most absurd degree to
conceal their business and interest in the
American war equipment. 1t may be
that these are the exceptions, and that
for every spy whose presence has been
detected there have been dozens going un-
observed back to their employers with val
liable information. But has not the United
States done something OF the same kind?
Is this the only government that has
failed to look over the premises Of its
neighbors and note the danger points and
the weak places? Have our spies been
poor performers compared with those OF
other countries?

IF Gettysburg, when August 8 was named

and prayer. Since then. with only one
exception of date. the Presidents have
appointed the last Thursday Of November
for this purpose From being a day OF
prayer, however, Thanksgiving has be-
come to be observed by the majority of
people as time OF relaxation and en-

The Black Hand, National Evil.

While national attention has been
chiefly attracted by the black hand move
ment in New York. that peculiarly danger
Gus and demoralizing crime has been
shockingly in evidence In other parts Of
the country. Statistics have been just
published in Chicago, for instance, to
show that in that city these Italian black
maiIers have been daringly active. and
Furthermore have been greatly successful
Thus far this year there have been eigh-
teen black hand murders and scores Of
stabbings not resulting in death. with
over one hundred bomb explosions and a
collection Of half a million dollars In
blackmail With only one OF two excep-
tions the perpetrators Of these crimes
have escaped conviction.
This is no less than a reign OF crime.
and doubtless If the figures were obtain
able for New York. and perhaps other
cities, 1t would be found that the black
hand enterprise has become the greatest
menace to life and property from which
this country has ever suffered. The truly
appalling part Of the case is that the
criminals are virtually immune from
prosecution. When they are caught It is
practically impossible to find jury will
ing to convict In the face OF the threats
Of death which are plainly made to every
man in the box. Witnesses are afraid
to testify to the truth. and cases of abso-
iutely established guilt are thus allowed
to slip through to mistrials or acquittals
In one Chicago case where guilt was
fastened upon the accused the judge was
threatened with death and bomb was
actually placed outside of his chambers.
This is closely approaching state OF

War and Peace.

Since reaching America Admiral Togo

peace with profound respect, though not
In position to respond to 1t.
Later. upon visiting the Washington
navy yard he was all eyes for the DIG
guns and the processes OF manufacture
there. He stuck his head into the breech
of a 14-inch gun. and put on smoked
glasses to inspect the work OF welding
and casting metals. The visit was one OF
evident enjoyment TO him.
His program continues strenuous ana
on more than one occasion he has exhibit

their commanders want to see him.

rison, then President. attended on one
occasion a great peace meeting held In

important work on a big gun was In prog

criticism of the President in several quar-
,ers. 1t was asserted that he should nave
declined one or the other of the two IN
yitations-either have gone straight to
the navy yard, or back to the White
House from the church.
But the criticism was absurd. Gen.
Harrison was sincere advocate OF
peace, and testified to his feelings by
appearing and making short address at
a peace meeting. But at the same time
he was commander-in-chief Of the army
and navy, and as such charged with the
national welfare. AS the nations were
not approaching disarmament. and as we
as a nation must keep up with the pro-
cession he felt the keenest interest In all
that was being done to that end.
Gen. Harrison when young had been
soldier. He knew what war was from
actual experience, and wanted no more Of
It, But as practical man he knew the
value of being prepared for war, and
that In no other way could the interests
Of peace be SO we'll served.
So with Admiral Togo. He has seen
war in its bloodiest phases. and wants
no more of it. But as a practical man
he knows how peace may be best as
sured. and hence his abounding interest
In all fighting equipment. especially In

England's Labor Conditions.

Although the strike in London has been
ended by concessions to workers, and
London's danger of a food shortage has
been ayerted without bloodshed, the prob
lem of unemployment and underpayment
is by no means settled. Indeed, II is
quite as far as ever from solution, with
out any better prospect of remedy for the
evils which confront the British public.
The readiness with which the employers
in most cases granted the demands OF the
men. for higher wages In some cases and
shorter hours in others, plainly indicated
the general realization that the men
claims were founded upon necessity
necessity born Of the seriously imperfect
economical adjustment prevailing IN Eng
land today. In one case the strikers
asked an increase Of from twenty-one to
twenty-four shillings a week. They were
striking for a wage Of s6 per week! 1t Is
to the credit of the employer In this In
stance that they were Immediately ac-
commodated.
But it Is not to the credit OF the Eng
lish system that wages of this character
are paid For these are typical stfpends
prevailing in most Of the unskilled trades,
which include the great bulk OF English
workers. Some hope was felt that the
new system of land taxes carried by the
Lloyd George budget would result In a
more equal distribution of wealth through
the opening up Of large areas to cultiva-
ton and the shifting Of capital from un-
profitable land holdings to industrial es-
Establishments. Thus far no such result
has occurred. 1t may be too soon for
the new system to work out its economic
changes, but feeling undoubtedly pre-
walls in England today that 1t will not
yield the results which have been prom
ised for it.
The whole question in England is one Of
making more jobs for the people and pay
ing better wages. These two are corela-
tive propositions. AS long as there Is
such intense competition for opportunities
to work the wage scale must remain low.
despite the occasional increases gained
under duress by the precipitation of
strikes Such readjustments are not ef-
fective cures for the conditions that un-
derAe the turmoil.
This strike bears relation to the politi-
cal issues in that it presents an argument
for the establishment of protective tariff
taxes to build UP British trade. The
liberal government Is maintained by
free trade combination. though there may
be a present tendency toward what the
English call tariff reform on the part of
the labor members. The liberal coalition
is working out a program Of schemes OF
state socialism that may ultimately bring
aid to the working classes. though un-
questionably at the expense OF burdening
the middle classes more heavily than at
present. Should a change of ministry
occur in all likelihood these new projects
Of state aid and paternal stimulation will
be dropped. 1t Is by no means certain,
however, that in such a case a protective
tariff will be adopted, for the unionist
party is not united in favor of tariff re-
form. The outlook is not particularly
promising for any definite and material
improvement in the condition Of the low
er working classes Of the United King
dom.
