The managing farmer who has to be

Had snied on ItaIv.

Italian frontier, May 2G.-Facts are coming to light regarding the extent of the German espionage system in Italy. A striking example of this has just been revealed at Milan. Rudolf Herod, a native of Berlin, had been for three years dentists assistant at Milan. He was poor dentist, but an excellent Alpinist. and made con stant excursions into the mountains along the Italian frontier. He was recalled to Germany to do military service, and was wounded.
 When war between Austria and It. ally became probable he wrote from a hospital to a. friend asking that doc unents left in his lodgings be for warded to him immediately. They were examined by the authorities and were found to include plans and pho tographs of Italian Notifications, bar racks, railways, and roads, and also a letter to a German who 1t is pre- stunned employed him for that purpose describing where he could find docu- ments buried near the frontier, as well as list of the sums received in payment for information forward ed to Germany.

SIR A. CONAN DOYLE CREATOR
 OF SHERLOCK HOIlMES.' .''

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle M.B=s-the creator of sherlock Holmes," passed his fifty-sixth milestone May 22. Sir Arthur is fond of a joke, even at his own expense, and one of his favorite stories, referring to the resurrection and return to activity of his celebrat- ed fiction. character, is this:
 t"The unkindest criticism ever heard on the subject of Sherlock Holmes was made to me by a Cornish lock Holmes may not have killed him self by falling over that cliff, but he did injure hinsef. He has never been the same man since"
 Since the outbreak of the war Sir Arthur has written many contribu- tions to the press on military matters, and he has been a staunch defender of the British Tommies. The kaiser's reference to the British forces as a "contempdb1e little army led him to not at all f1attering to the Teuton warriors. According to Sir Arthur, the Germans are greatly inferior to the English and French in marks l manship. He declares that in their l training the Germans have missed the .sessentiaI point" which is that in the end everything depends upon the l man behind the gun, upon his hitting l his opponent and upon his taking cover so as to avoid being hit him. seIf.''
 Sir Arthur added: eve should be sinking to the kaiser's level if we answered his scontemptib1e little army by pretending that his own l troops are anything but a very for
 midab1e and big army. They are for nidab1e in numbers, formidable, too, 1 in their patriotic devotion, in their native courage, and in the possession of such material such great cannon. l aircraft, machine guns and armored cars, as none of the allies could | match. They had every advantage which a nation would be expected to have when it was known that war
 was a certainty. while others have | only treated it a possibility. There is a minuteness and earnestness of preparation which are only possible for an assured event. But the fact
 remains, and it will only be brought
 out more clearly by the enperor's
 unchivalrous phrase, that in every
 army the British have already shown
 themselves to be better troops.
