MANY SPIES ARE AT WORK.

Washington.-Start evidence of
the pernicious activity of foreign spies
is in the possession OF the army gem
eral staff, which accounts for the Sc
rious consideration that is now being
given to the most trlfling report of
attempts to discover the military Sc
crets of the country.
An Englishman in Calcutta picked
up in the streets a. small package of
blue prints showing every detail of the
defense of Corregldor Islands, the
main stronghold of the United States
in the Philippines. The Englishman
sent the papers to the war depart
ment here, but the most carefufSfn-
vestigation failed to discover the
means by which the information had
been obtained.
A waiter in a Seattle hotel was
found to be a foreign officer in dis
guise, possessing many drawings and
notes he had made of the Pacific
coast defenses.
A New York policeman arrested an
American for a trivial offense and
found in his trunk military maps and
information which convinced the Off
cials that he was in the employ of a
foreign government.

WAVE PUTS HER TOES IN AIR.
Omaha Social Favorite Contemplated
ONLY Knee Deep Wade on Bet.

Venice, Cal.-Mrs. Grace Harris is
a large woman, attractive of face and
figure, and one of Omaha's social fa-
vorites. She made a bet she would
go wading above her knees in the
Pacific.
Seating herself confidently on the
sand she removed an expensive MILL
merry creation and stripped off SILK
castings and pumps, regardless OF an
enthusiastically interested crowd. Then
she lifted her exquisitely tailored
black gown, walked to the receding
breakers and gingerly placed a pink
toe into the water.
Her right foot followed, then the
left and the brine eddied about her
ankle. She looked over her shoulder
at the three companions on the
beach. They were doubling up on
the sand laughing.
She waded in until she was toppled
over by a big wave and lost her false
teeth. She won the bet, though.
