Prisoners and Spies.

A prisoner of war. according to The Hague regulations, in attempting to es- cape does not commit a crime. It Is his duty to escape if a favorable op- portunity presents itself.
 It is equally the duty of his captor to prevent his escape. and he is justi- fed in resorting to any means not punitive tn character best to secure that end. A prisoner of war may be killed in attempting to escape. If re captured his confinement may be made more rigorous than before.
 For being. a spy the punishment is death. To be proved a spy, however, q person must be caught seeking clan destinely, in disguise or on false pre- tenses to obtain information in the zone of operations of the belligerent, with the intention of communicating 1t to the hostile party.
 No distinction is drawn technically on account Of sex, and women spies caught in the act have been put to death.-New York Times.

Wonder of Meehaniann.

Half a century ago there was not a watch in existence capable Of meeting the requirements of the American rail- way time service today. Railway time inspection lias set the limit of varia- ton from true time for it's employees watches at 3oAseconds a week. This means that the balance wheel shall not vary in it's 1nofion to the extent of one vibration out of every 10000 Taking into consideration the various causes of disturbance to which a railway en- gineers watch is. subjected, the jolts and jars, the changess of temperature and the magnetic, influence incidental to the proximity of large masses of iron and steel, this pcrfoTnanee is truly remarkable That 1t is possible to secure such at,eoracy in such tiny piece of mechaniGm subjected to those adverse influences is little short of marvellous. and jjustiaes the claim that the watch of today issithe most won derfuI piece of mechanism that the in genuity of man has ever produced.- Scientific American.

This Week.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 1.-THE an
swer of the United States 10 the notes
OF Great Britain in which she argued
a Justification OF her treatment of the
commerce Of neutrals will be sent to
Sir Edward Grey on Wednesday.
Sir Cecil Spring Rice. the British
ambassador who is now at Beverly,

derstOod that he has been sent for by
the state department It has been
arranged by the department that an
agent of the secret service shall ac-
company him from Beverly to Wash

The American reply has been con-
siderably changed and greatly con-
denSed since the receipt by the state
department of the supplementary
notes of Great Britain in which she
maintained the legality Of the block
ade and set forth substantially that
the United States was actually the
beneficiary of that blockade. The
principal note dealt among other
things with a suggestion Of arbitra-
ton. This, however. was to be avail
ably only after the United States had
submitted 10 Great Britain's positive
claim that all seizures and detentions
should be regarded first and essential

AT THE LASALLE.

The LaSalle theater Will show to-
day a five reel feature film entitled
The Clue" with Blanche Sweet in
the leading role. This photodrama
was produced by the Lasky Feature
Play Co. and might be described as an
American photO-mystery of foreign
antagOnisms. The murdered man is
a Russian. who. with his brother. has
stolen plans of certain Japanese coast
defenses, which he is planning TO sell
10 the German government through
its secret agent in England The man
who committed the murder is a Jap
anese valet, really a secret agent Of
his native land seeking 10 regain
possession of the plans. And yet all
the events transpire in the midst Of
a wealthy American household which
is thrown into the direst confusion by
the murder which brings disaster and
suspicion IN its path. From these ele-
ments, Margaret Turnbull the author,
has devised a most extraordinary
story The Paramount travel pictures
will also be shown.
Sundays feature will be THE Fox
Woman" a perturbation of John
Luther Longs great Japanese drama.
This is an unusually strong theme,

TO the strength Of the cast. Present
