PreventabIe Deaths

Recent reports say that certain high insurance authorities have under consideration a movement for taking measures to lessen the number of pre- yentable deaths According to insurance statistics, 6,0OO,0Oo preventable deaths occur yearly in the United States. These mortalites estimated to represent economic loss of $1,500,000,0O0. while the annual fire loss in the country is only $250OO0O00 It is suggested that the great life insurance companies may day feel compelled to become active in relieving conditions of living that spread disease and physical degeneration.
 The men who have this subject under discus sion are not blind to the fact that the monetary losses small matter in comparison to the misery suffering and that caused by unheathfu and unwhoiesome surroundings They simply suggest that certain work which society does cannot do for altrustic reasons, business may do for economic They cite, for in stance that while American municipalities spend each year about s1.65 per capita for fire preven- ton only 33 per capita is expended for public health service These figures held be ordinary, when it is considered that the health of the public assuredy greater importance than is fire prevention.
 If the figures quoted approximately accurate the insurance men certainly justified in their desire to ameiorate conditions which disease and preventabe deaths. Their work would have selfish end, but that would make it less beneficial to humanity. What fatal diseases preventable, and how they be prevented? The answers to those questions weu known to stu dents of municipal problems. But often it is very. very difficult change the existing order of things. and it is that phase of the matter that the nsur ance companies should devote their minds and mill lions.

MILLIONS FOR SPIES

Protests have recently been made against the action of the British admiralty in permitting for egners to compete at the sale of old warships. held periodically in the various dockyardS of Britain At ordinary times the alien is kept good dis tance from the yards, but when sale takes place he is practically given free run of them. There is very little doubt that among the foreigners who attend the "warship auctions are several secret service agents who the lookout for informa- ton which will be valuable the powers they rep resent.
 The main endeavors foreign spies to obtain valuable secrets devoted to naval stations and dockyards It not very many years ago when American students were permitted to attend British schools of naval architecture.
 Women spies said to haunt the neighbor- hood of British naval stations and dockyards like many flies molasses barrel, and it not very long ago when certain naval officer dis covered that pretty young lady he was very good terms with service agent in the employ of a big power The girls inquisitivehess concerning naval matters generally made him lt- tie suspicious and he thought it wise to inform his superiors Quiet inquiries elicited the fact that she had attempted a few days before to brOe a dock yard employe steal certain plans for her.
 It has been said, and probably with good deal of truth, that hidden away in safe in govern ment office in Germany fairly accurate plans of Gibratars defense works, and that they made from rough sketches supplied by German girl, who years ago alghted at Gibraltar for the benefit of her health" After she had been the rock for weeks the officers there discovered that she knew too much concerning quick firing guns and other things and in the long she was politely but firmly advised seek another health resort It proved that she spy in the employ Germany, and it is pretty certain that she dispatched particulars and sketches of Gibral- tar's defense works to Berlin.
 The various governments spend thousands of dollars every year their service and 1t costs Germany more than $1,00O,00O every twelve months to maintain her battalion of spies. There is a special fund paying the salaries and ex- penses of the body of and women who com prise spies of Britain and, rule this secret service costs the country s250.00D.

 The Germans always bitterly complaining of the British watching and photographng tourists and declaring that nine out of who to all appearances are opulent and idle tourists travel under commissions from the British office In this they well justified for British agents exist in France and Germany in large numbers, and a good many of them are women.
 There certainly spies in Germany and scarcely month passes but spy is taken red handed the Franco German frontier. Germany spies France, and France spies Germany, and the spy work of the frontier has become sys- tematic that at the present time it is considered quite business, and men are trained by both the French and German governments how to become spies and act such.
 There is school for spies in France, and the masters are expert hands spying If a French spy is sent into Germany he is given miniature maps of German Notifications and the like. These he has to learn by heart, for the French govern ment wisely refuses to allow spy to carry such discriminating documents about him. The spy is supplied with German notes and gold and given several addresses both in France and Germany, to which he has send his reports in code and under different
