Ways That 1t Will Be Long

and vests leading the new life. They
may be giving an exhibition of physical
drill before an amazed audience OF
their relations and friends interested
in the work of the hotel.
Blinded in battle, these late soldiers
many of them youths of nineteen
and twenty-have been taught to be
the cheeriest men in the kingdom in
stead of being cast adrift in helpless
ness and misery, a burden to them
selves and their kindred.
II used to think blindness was an
affection" said one of the men. Take
it from me, that's all nonsense Blind
ness is just handicap which can be
overcome A blind soldier comes here
and in few weeks the handicap Is re-
moved and he can give points to the
sighted. ST. Dunstan's is an eye

IS MECCA OF SPIES
SaIorjki SWarms With Agents OF
Central Powers.
Watch Every Train and Vessel with
out Molestation-Tasks Performed
With Cynical Audacity That
Is Really Provoking.

London.-From Saloniki an English
press correspondent communicates
under date of November rs, the follow
ing account of the spy system estaD-
lished there by Germany and her al
lies:
Since it became the base OF the
Anglo French operations in the Bal
kans, Saloniki has attained an lmpor-
lance unprecedented in all its MS
tory. 1t has become the gathering
place of a heterogeneous assemblage
of soldiers representing nearly every
race under the sun, and besides it has
been infested with such an army OF
spies that one fairly stumbles over
them. Saloniki seems to have become
veritable paradise to these contempt
ible individuals, who strut about here
at their leisure, without being inter
fered with in the least. They perform
their tasks with cynical audaclty
which is really provoking.
Here one will find the elite of the
German, Austrian and Bulgarian world
of espionage AS soon as traveller
alights from a train at SalOniki some
sly-looking person is sure to be on
hand sizing up not only the new arr1-
val himself but also his baggage, etc.
If possible, the watchful person will
try to get a peep at the newcomers
passport, too, when this is presented
for inspection. The trail is followed
to the hotel, where subsequently the
clerk will be pumped for all the in
formation he may be able to supply.
Then the walters are enlisted in the
service of the spy, and Is they cannot
pick up enough satisfactory news
through bits of casual conversation
with their patron, some outsider will
be hired to occupy the nearest table in
the dining room, in order to try to
draw out the stranger by the approved
hail fellow we'll met method.
IF the goings and comings OF Ordi-
nary private persons are observed so
closely, one may rest assured that not
single transport arrives, or soldier
disembarks, without thai fact being
reported Immediately to Sofia, Con-
stantinople or Berlin. Nor can the
Greek government be blamed for not
intervening in the nefarious business
Greece maintains it's neutrality, and
on the whole this neutrality is benev-
client to the allies On the other hand
the English-French military authori-
ties have their hands tied in this mat
ter and are quite impotent to take any
efficacious measures for protection
against the spies.
1.-THE problem, however, is one which
calls for prompt solution"
