Spies
By ETHEL HOLMES

Before the pan-Europcan war we
Americans supposed that u affairs
did not interest other powers. Since
then We have awakened to the fact
that every government has Il spy SyS.
TEN within the territory of every other
government. England. France, Italy
and other powers keep secret service
workers in other countries. OF all the
Germans have the most perfect and
extended organization. And vet some
of the principal fields of the working
of the German propaganda in America
have originated with the British secret
service men. While these systems NAV
have been strengthened and enlarged
since the opening of the war. there is
reason TO believe that they have always
existed.
Austria and Russia have always been
watching each other on account of the
persistent cncroachmcnt of the Two ON
the Balkans. Some years ago two Rus
sian girls. sisters. went to Vienna as
spies for thec car upon the intentions
Of the emperor of Austria regarding
schemes to carve Austrian provinces
out of Balkan territory. One of these
girls. Maria, obtained :: position as
co9viSt in the Austrian foreign office.
The other, Vera, kept house for the
two i'll rooms i'll an apartment building.
Since they were in the pay OF the Rus
sian government they did not want for
anything.

HOW THE CITY TREES
SHOULD BE PLANTED
Varieties That Are Best Adapted to
Municipal Purposes.

In planting trees permanently do not
set them closer than thirty feet apart
fifty feet is better, Or even sixty feet
which will permit the trees to develop
to best advantage.
For city planting Platanus o%rientalis.
or oriental plane, or sycamore, as it is
sometimes called, is probably the most
satisfactory. 1t is a superb tree Of
large proportions, with dense foliage Of
bright green. The bark pcels off the
trunk and branches In autumn. leaving
the whole tree of a creamy white
through the winter. 1t is one Of the
very best shade trees. The American

ELECTION DAY BONFIRES.
Methods For Their Reduction Taken In
New York City.

Methods For Their Reduction Taken In
New York City.
in High Spots In New York
Schools" a booklet prepared by Will
liam II. Allen and others Of the lnsti-
tute For Public Service Of New York
city, there is cited as an example of
cooperation between schools and city
departments the effective work done
by the pupils in reducing election day
bonfires.
In New York city, as in other cities,
there has always been serious damage
on election night from bonires built Oh
asphalt paving. These bonfires not
only destroyed the street paving, but
in some cases set fire to buildings and
raused serious injuries to the partici-
pants. Moreover, it was the occasion
Of a great deal Of loss to s~hopkeepers
and others, who suffered from the
theft Of barrels, buckets, boards and
excelsier-in fact, anything that would
burn. The police department could not
spare enough men to cope with the sit
uation on account of the additional
burden on the department in the more
important work of watching the polls
and handling the election crowds.
The remedy has been found in coop
Grafton between the police and the
children. In one neighborhood where
there had been much trouble from fires
an active campaign was inaugurated
by appealing to the children's civic
sense and by getting the teachers and
their pupil lieutenants to take the fol
lowing pledge:
THE PREVENTION PLEDGE.
We. the pupils Of class -, pledge our
selves not to gather wood for election day
fires and not to build fires on that day.
We will notify the police concerning wood
hat has been gathered and will use our
Influence to prevent other boys from build
ing bonfires.
Reports were turned in by each pupil
