Protests have recently been made by
Britons against the action of the ad-
miralty in permitting foreigners to
compete at the sale of old warships,
held periodically in the various dock
yards of Britain, says London cores
pondent of the New York Press.
At ordinary times the alien is kept
at a good distance from the yards, but
when a sale takes place he is practi-
cally given a free run of them.
The main endeavors of foreign
spies to obtain valuable secrets are
devoted to British naval stations and
dockyards, and yet the admiralty
has always been guilty Of good
deal of carelessness in matters which
concern the efficiency of the national
defense.
1t was not so many years ago when
American students were permitted to
attend British schools of naval archi-
lecture, but this privilege is now
denied them, owing to the fact that
the enterprising Yankees did not hest
tate to furnish Uncle Sans naval de-
partment with items of naval archi-
lecture and details concerning vessels
under construction. At the Royal
Naval College, Greenwich, the stranger
to English shores had many oppor-
tunities of securing naval secrets.
1t was only short time ago when
an ex-naval gunner named Parrot
was arrested in a tobacconist's shop
in the Kings road, Chelsea, where
he had had letters addressed, On a
charge of communicating naval Sc
crets to a foreign country. He was
tried before Justice Darling, who SEN
fenced him to four years penal servi-
tude. At the time it came to light that
PARROT had been the victim of a wo-
man spy, whom he became acquainted
with in a place of amusement
Women spies are said to haunt the

Spies WILL PLAY PROMINENT
PART IN EUROPEAN MIXUP
Every Nation Has Secret Other
Spies Get Information That Man
Gould Never ObtainGemans Gibraltar Which Were
Gotten a Young Girl

I dockyards like so many flies on a
treacle tin, and it was not so very
long back when certain naval officer
discovered that a pretty young lady
he was on very good terms with was
the secret service agent IN the employee
of big power.
The girls inquisitiveness concern
ing naval matters generally made
him little suspicious and he thought
it wise to inform his superiors.
Quiet inquiries ELECTED the fact that
she had attempted to bride a dock
yard employee to steal certain plans
for her, and that she was possessed
of a small camera with which she had
taken photographs wholesale without
any one being the wiser.
1t has been said and probably with
good deal of truth, that hidden away
in a safe in a government Office in
Germany are fairly accurate plans Of
Gibraltar's defense works, and that
they were made from rough sketches
supplied by German girl who soma
years ago alighted at Gibraltar for the
benefit of her health"
After she had been on the Rock for
some weeks the officers discovered thai
she knew too much concerning quick
firing guns and other things, and in
the long run she was politely but firm
ly advised to seek another health re-
sort"
1t was proved that she was a spy
in the employ of Germany, and it is
pretty certain that she dispatched par
ticulars and sketches of Gibraltar's de-
tense works to Berlin
The various governments spend
thousands of pounds every year on
their secret service, and it costs Ger
many more than 100000 pounds every
twelve months to maintain her battal-
ion of spies. There is a special fund
for paying the salaries and expenses of
the body of men and women who com
prise the spies of Britain, and as a
rule this secret service costs any coun
try $4,000 pounds annually.
The ministry responsible for the
distribution of the money takes the fol-
loving OATH 81 swear that the money
paid me for foreign secret service, or
Tor detecting, preventing and defeat
ing conspiracies against the state has
her bona fde applied to the said pur
poses and no other.
Spies are well paid, but not too
we'll when one considers the amazing
risks involved, and the fact that if
they happen to be caught by the for
eign authorities they are more often
than not disowned by their govern
ment.
The Germans are always bitterly
complaining of the British sketching
and photographing tourists, and de-
claring that nine out of ten men who
to all appearance are opulent and idle
tourists travel under commissions
from British agents who exist in
France and Germany in large numbers
and a good many of them are women.
1t is an international law, but an
unwritten one that sovereign can
not lawfully require a subject to
serve as a spy, except in a singular
case, and that of the last import
ance. -.
Nevertheless, no country will ever
lack spies, for the work that is re-
quired of them is so adventurous and
so well paid that thousands of men
would jump at the opportunity to be-
come a secret service agent.
