SCOTLAND YARD
ANTl=SPY WORK
MADE GREAT STRIDES IN BAG
GING GERMAN SPIES WHO HAD
INVADED ENGLAND
Unique Methods Adopted to Catch
Them-AIlege That American
Passports Forged
BY WILBUR $. FORREST

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
LONDON, Sept. 6.-(By MALL 1.-The
admittedly thorough and efficient Ger
man spy system is up against most
thorough and efficient stump in Eng
land.
One of the unhealthiest obstacles
for agents of the enemy's intelligence
department is the anti-spy section of
Scotland Yard.
Official reports, just issued, show
that ten alleged spies of various ma
tionalities, all of whom were declared
to be working for Germany, were
bagged before any one of them had
been in England three weeks. Four
readily confessed.
This list, however, represents but
fractional part of the most recent
fruits of the British dragnet. On two
occasions, it is unofficially declared,
the authorities in London cleverly ma
neuvered to round up dozens of spies
who had been operating in London
in the guise of British army officers.
The method was simple as it was eff
fective The war office is said to
have informed all army officers in the
metropolitan area to refrain on GER
tain day of recent date from travelling
on any trains of the great system OF
underground railways of the metrop-
oils. The order was strictly obeyed.
Every officers uniform that boarded
an underground train that day con
tanned a spy. The spy bag was full
that night.
Several days later the war office is
said to have repeated its warning,
this time instructing officers to keep
off of the motorbuses that travel by
hundreds on London's gusiest streets.
The result was similar The spy
bag was filled again.
But this is only one of the many
methods through which spies are
caught in England. Another is chem
istry.
1t was chemistry that told the Brit
ish authorities that what appears to
be an American passport is not al,
ways the real article. A government
chemist informed the authorities that
the great and powerful red seal OF
the American state department had
been forged by the enemy; that the
secretary of states signature had been
photographed from a genuine Amer
lean passport in Germany and applied
to a spurious document carried later
by a spy in England. 1t was the
chemists proof, linked with other
features that followed, that caused
the spy to confess that he was fur
nished the forgery to obtain military
secrets in England.
This forgery is today in the hands
of the British authorities for com
parison with other suspicious look
ing documents bearing the seal of the
United States.
Americans travelling through Eng
land to or from continental countries
will henceforth be subjected to the
most thorough examination and sur
VIGILANCE by the British authorities.
American passports in England, IN
future, if there is the least doubt
of their validity, must bear the tests
of the government chemists.
Americans must not feel i'll to-
ward the British authorities if neces-
sary precautions are taken to pre-
vent the use Of spurious American
passports in this country" said high

Strong Prospect Bill May Pass
Providing for Retirement

From two sources develop indica.
tions that Federal Judge Sanford B.
Dole, the veteran iurist of all Hawaii.
is to be finally retired to make way
for q Democrat
Adyices which have reached Hawaii
from Washington by cable indicate
that Congressman and other officials
are getting together" in favor of the
bill under which Judge Dole would be
pensioned when he retires, as is done
in the states. This bill was introduced
by Delegate kalanianaole at the
request of Attorney A. A. Wilder
on December 6, and is gen.
eral measure providing that any
u. S. Judge resigning at the age of 20
after having held HIS commission for
10 years, shall receive the same sal
airy as given him before retirement
and there is a specific provision to
make this applicable to the Hawaiian
federal Judge.
II is rather believed here that the
department of Justice will make no
move formally to relieve Judge Dole
until this legislation is perfected. The
fact that II is being favored convinces
some local observers that the depart.
ment has no intention of recommend
ing the Judge for reappointment. pure
ly on account of political reasons.
That such. indeed. is the attitude
of the department is shown by special
correspondence received from the

tive. Writing under date of December
10, he says:

The first news that / received on
