SPYING SYSTEM IS
CLEvERLY WORKED
GERMANS HAVE THEIR AGENTS
IN ALL TOWNS IN RUSSIAN
POLAND Is CLAIM.

Petrograd, Oct 22-Refugees who
have reached Petrograd from Russian
Poland have brought information re-
garding a secret system of copmuni-
cation by telephone Of which Che Ger
mans have made use.
They relate that when German
troops enter town in Russian Poland
some officer at once asks to be direc-
ted to the home of non-Polish resi-
dent, giving the mans name. In the
house of this man invariably there is
found telephone and the cellar is
we'll stocked with benzine or gasoline,
canned soups and other provisions.
BY the use of this telephone the
Germans endeavor to establish COM
munication with the rear. They in.
form headquarters of their exact
whereabouts and at times even seek
from villages ahead of them informa-
ton as to the best roads for their ad-
vance,
The Russians are now taking steps
to destroy this system of communica-
ton which is said to be widespread in
Russian Poland.
