TURKISH SPY SYSTEM.
& Not Only Keeps Tab Upon Strangers,
but Spies Upon Itself.

SSh SS'SS SPSV
Turkey boasts of more spies to the
square mile than any other country,
as any one who has been to Turkey
will agree
The peculiar thing about these spies
Is that they themselves cannot be
trusted. so that regular chain of
spies is the result. There are spies to
spy upon the spies
The government officials have their
own spies to watch other people, but
even the great authorities themselves
are already being spied upon.
What is more. the method of spying
is quite open. for the spies will stand
by wherever two or three foreigners
arc gathered together ana listen to the
conversation. Visitors to Turkey natu-
rally get worried over such attentions.
especially when it might be their had
luck to be followed about for weeks or
months.
1t is the "uninitiated" visitor who
usually receives the most attention
since he or, she will carry on CONVEX
sation in quiet undertone. The per
son who kncws Turkey converses in Il
loud tone for all and sundry-the spies
especially-to hear that he is only en-
gagged in pleasure or legitimate bust
ness, and the wise man leaves the topic
of politics severely alone. - London

CHESS Is NOT 50 SLOW.
Fifteen Moves an Hour Is this Rule In
Championship Games.


What is the average length of time
that chess player III an international
championship contest takes to move?
. Among mere human players there
are many traditions of how these peers
of the game scorn to make q move in
less than all hour; nay, more, how they
consume whole evenings and often
times days in single move. Such
tales are rife in rural chess circles.
Now, in hard fact, these superplay-
ers move more rapidly than the ev-
eryday expert. The common limit in
International championship matches is
fifteen moves an hour; player failing
to get within this limit loses the game
no matter how commanding his posi-
ton: an average Of four minutes to the
move is considered ample time. In
deed, when Capablanca challenged
Lasker for the worlds championship
he was held to be justified in refusing
Laskers condition that the limit be
heightened to twelve moves an hour.
In championship games chess clock
is always used. This has two dials,
each dial controlled by II plunger. I'm
mediately after black has moved white
strikes his plunger, which starts the
hands on his dial recording time. AT
the instant he moves he strikes bis
plunger again, hating the mechanism.
Black then strikes the plunger of his
dial, starting his clock in turn. TIE
dials thus record the net time each
consumes In moving.
or course in practical play the COP
testant gets more than the four mir
utes. The first eight or ten moves are
almost always book plays. made in less
than a minute each. This allows much
time as credit on later moves. Fur
thermore, even when his opponent is
moving, player studies his own next
move. based on the probable move Of
his opponent. But the day long or
even the hour long move exists only I'm

TWO Important Interviews.
The first glance into the status of

is given by two remarkable inter-
views obtained by DR.. Leo Ledoc,
war correspondent of the Berliner

present Greek premier, Gunaris, is

other is an authorized account of an
