HOW GERMANY DEALS WITH SPIES

I Oficers engaged in espionage who in
the pursuit Of their task resort to cur
| ruption and to the employment of paid
spies stand on a wholly different foot
ing, and the English officers would have
| been regarded as guilty of offenses af-
| fecting their honor had they been the re-
| cipients of German hospitality and had
taken advantage thereof to secure mill
tary or naval secrets.
Thus, can recall the case Of a very
gifted and brilliant officer of Austrian
cavalry who. while serving on the Ga
lician frontier, made himself SO agree
able that he was in great demand as a
guest at the various chateaux and even
at the officers messes on the Russian
side of the boundary. He availed him
self of the opportunities thus placed in
his way to acquire a considerable amount
of information Of a military and topo-
graphical order which was Of great value
to the war department at Vienna. On
this becoming known. mainly through
his own indiscretion concerning the rea-
sens for his promotion, he was boycotted
by his fellow Officers of the Austrian
corps to which he had been attached as
guilty of gross violation Of the laws of
hospitality.
Took Improper Advantage.
Military and naval attaches. especially
InOSc IN france, AuSlIIds anu kSQSS1As
have exposed themselves IN much the
same way to charges Of having picked
up during country-house visits informa-
ton affecting the defenses of the country
in which they were residing and of hav-
ing taken an improper advantage Of the
indiscretions Of fellow-guests. Omcers
such as these have suffered in the eyes
OF their own professional comrades and
Of their countrymen generally.
Only last spring Emperor Francis Jo-
seph. who Is the very personification Of
old-fashioned courtesy and consideration,
deliberately turned his back at state
ball at Vienna on the Russian military
attache at Vienna, Col Martchecko. who
had rendered himself guilty Of conduct
Of this kind, besides bribing Austrians
to sell him of1cial secrets. OF course,
his recall followed.
So much for the ethics Of espionage.
Let me add by way Of conclusion that
the infamy Of imprisonment depends
largely on the nature Of the offenSe, and
when the latter is Of q political charac-
ter entails no disgrace. In France. In

There is all the difference in the worlt

The definition given in the dictionary
Of the French Academy Of the word 'es'

"infame' merely applies to the paid spy
and that this feeling is general is shown
by the statue erected to Nathan Hale ir

the regard in which his memory is held
by his countrymen and forming an Amer

ment which the English nation has erect

is reported to have made under the gal
lows to an English captain who had ex-
pressed regret and sorrow that an officer
should end his life in such\a manner.
And in Nathan Hale's dying remark may
be found a reply to the entife question as
to whether unpaid espionage entails in
Amy or not. This view also is set forth
by the famous French marshal Bugeaud,
whose writings are to this day standard
works on military education not only in
the army of France. but in those Of q
number of other nations In his volume
entitled ''Apercus sur Tart de Ia Guerre''
he expresses himself in the following
categorical manner: English, American,
and Russian officers do not hesitate to
assume disguises as regards name, ma
uonality, profession. and Appearances in
order to secure Information concerning
the designs Of the enemy. In acting
thus they are no more guilty of dishor-

was rather unhappy. Dad always kept a
horse. a useless sort of an old plug. in
the barn. though he never had the slight
est use for the beast. Dad never earned
more than $l2 a week in his life, SO in
order that the horse might have enough
to eat 1t was necessary for his family
ally.
Talking about a kid being scared
to death! Every time dad would say
.Jim.' in the most ordinary tone of
voice. I'd jump up into the air and come
down all spraddled out and suffering. for
he hardly ever said Jim without adding:
Take of your coat and come out to the
barn with me!
Then. with a scared and appealing look
at mother, who did not dare interfere,
would go out to the barn. He would
close tho barn door, then he would slowly
and malevolently take the hold-back strap

Mr. Dolliver said: Il was passing along

Uncle Joe called out, You are just the

INDUSTRY OF NEW ZEALAND
Most important Is That of Sheep
Raising for Which Country Is
Most Admirably Adapted.

Auckland, N 1.-THE most impor-
tant industry Of New Zealand is that
of sheep raising. for which the coun-
try is admirably adapted, thanks to
the equable climate, the regularity Of
the seasons, the uniform fall Of rain,
and the suitability of the soil for grow
ing of nutritious grasses, turnips,
rape. and other feed especially suited
for sheep.
In 1910 New Zealand exported wool
to the value Of $40,378,S73 as against
$30,646,616 in 1909; frozen. preserved.
and cured meat, chiefly mutton and
lamb, $19,560,6S4 in 1910. and $751;
3e1,831 in 1909; tallow, $3,674.233 In
1910, and S3,155,151 in 1909; sheep
skins, $3,602,519 in 1910. and $685.
sos in 1909.
The last returns (1910) showed a
total of 24,269,62O sheep, including 49,
917,662 in the North Island. and H.
351,958 in the South Island. During
the year 1909 the total production Of
wool was estimated at 192,822,002
pounds, Of which 5,202,821 pounds
were purchased by local mills and
187,619,181 pounds exported. The per-
centage of greasy wool exported In

During an exploring expedition in
the arctic regions, some years ago, the
men spent considerable time hunting
polar bears. One day party in an
open boat saw big bear with two
cubs on the ice not far distant. As
the boat drew near, the sailors threw
them great humps of walrus flesh, and
these the old bear divided among her
cubs, reserving only a small portion
for herself. Then, while all three
were feeding in bunch, the sailors
fred, instantly killing the cubs and
severely wounding the dam. 1t ac-
tually excited pity to see her be-
havior. Though fatally wounded, she
tore another lump of meat in pieces
and laid 1t before the cubs. When she
found they would not eat, she tried to
raise them up. all the while moaning
piteously. The men fired another vol
ley, and then she fell between her
cubs, and died licking their wounds
