Where Real Danger Lies.

Moreover. the circulation of rumors of
danger from such sources is regarded
as more harmful than would be the
operations of spy system, even should
they take on a dangerous aspect. For
the detective agencies of the govern
ment might be able to get hold Of a
thread of any organized conspiracy and
unravel the whole cloth, running down
the iniquitous to the last man in the
plot But the eXcitation of individual
minds to unlawful deeds by sugges-
tions of ways and means is calculated
to raise up innumera Bile perils, each one
separate and distinct, the discovery
and elimination of one bringing no
clue to any other; complicating the
problem of the government forces be-
yond all power of suppressing hydra
headed menace.
Government officials are worried-but
because of rumor of truoble that is cal
culated to create it rather than of any
existing danger. Individual cases of
war mania are coming to the attention
of the government detective agencies
and are being handled as would any
otf.er sporadic cases. Occa sionally there
is a general inquiry made, as a proper
course of preparedness. But there is
no general alarm and no extensive
campaign undertaken to unearth any
supposititious conspiracy. This is as
sured on the authority of officials of
the Treasury Department and the De-
partment of Justice.

Spy System Not Unlikely.

There is probably a German spy sys-
tenn in the United States. The German
spies are probably not the only for
eign spies at work as each of the bel
ligerent nations is likely to have its
corps of investigators on the job. 1t
is quite possible that German govern
ment officials in the United States have
direction of such a system; and it may
be true that there are 500 employees
of the German bureau in the United
States. But it is not supposed that
the duties exacted of them will re-
uuire any unlawful procedure. for
there are many proper or at least pre-
sumably necessary duties to which they
might be assigned.

Gulged in the matter, her support Is
unavoidably more expensive from year
to year. 1t was acute realization OF
this that had prompted Millicent to
adventure citywards, armed with her
diploma from the Tingleville CONNER
cial college. proving her to be a fully
trained stenographer.
Millicent had found no positions
open, however. Nobody seemed in
need of a stenographer without past
experience or even a typist. Some
business men, she found. wanted

interested in Millicent's good looks
