Paris.-The question of spies spy
ing is always n live one in France, for
many incidents can be recounted which
show either that the Germans have
close information on what happens in
their enemy's lines or that chance is IL
wonderful thing. For instance, n num-
ber of cabinet members visited II town
in the north n few days ago, being ac-
companied by the director of an In
portant mining works near the town.
To suit the convenience of this gen
tleman, the train that took the minis
ters away was started an hour earlier
than had been arranged. An hour
later, Mt the time the train was in
tended to leave, the station underwent
IA hot bombardment, and thanks to the
change in the time table, the minis
ters escaped a very bad quarter OF an
hour
Almost every returned poilu can tell
n story similar to the following: A di-
vision famous for its fighting quail
ties was suddenly moved to n new po-
sition so quickly that the men them
selves did not know exactly where
they We're. Within an hour n board
was hoisted above the nearest German
trench bearing the inscription in large
letters, welcome to the Gallant -th
Division" and giving the exact divi-
sional number.
The Cri de Paris gives another ex-
ample that occurred during NJ. Clemen-
ceau's recent visit to the front as
chairman of the senate's army com
mittee.
"Tieer" Saw Slain Soldier.
The section was very quiet, nothing
had happened for days there. Earlier
there had been some hot fighting and
the niger" could see the dead body
Of French soldier still hanging on
the barbed wire between the trenches.
NJ. Clemenceau gazed ut the poor re-
mains with admiration, sadness and
then fury. His eyes clouded over and
words of vengeance came indistinctly
from his lips.
At this moment an explosion was
heard close by and then another.
Clouds of smoke arose from near
where NJ. Clemenceau stood and the
explosions came nearer and nearer. He

CHICAGO. June 4-For some un-
known reason for which no cNplana-
tion Is offered. there is growing
conviction tonight among both Re
publican and Progressive leaders as
Sembled here for the National con
Nention that Col Roosevelt will not
be nominated by the older party.
Among those who hold TO this view
are many numbered among the Colo
nels closest friends, who. none the
less. are not giving un the fight
The leaders who take this view Of
the situation seem 70 think that Jus
nee Hughes is tho man who could
bring the Republican and Progressive
Parties together and present a solid
front 10 the Democratic opposition.

that the Justice can win the nomina-
