IS MECCA Of SPIES
SaIoniki Swarms With Agents OF
Central Powers.
Watch Every Train and Vessel With
out Moiestation-Tasks Performed
With Cynical Audaclty That
10 Really Provoking.

London. From Saloniki an English
press correspondent communicates,
under date of November 25, the follow
ing account of the spy system estab-
lished there by Germany and her al
lies:
Since 1t became the base of the
Anglo French operations in the Bal
kans, Saloniki has attained an impor-
tance unprecedented in all its his
tory. 1t has become the gathering
place of 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. SalonM seems to have become
a veritabe 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 audacity
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 train at Saloniki some
sly-looking person is sure to be ON
hand, sizing up not only the new arri-
val himself but also his baggage, etc.
II possible. the watchful person will
try to get peep at the newcomer s
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 Ii 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 coaings OF ordi-
nary private persons are observed so
closely, one may rest assured that not
q single transport arrives, or soldier
disembarks, without that fact being
reported Immediately to Sofia, Con-
stantinople OF Berlin. Nor can the
Greek government be blamed for not
intervening In the nefarious business.
Greece maintains its neutrality, and
on the whole this neutrality is benev.
olent 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.
"The problem, however, is one which
calls for prompt solution"

Delafield, Wis, June 8. II tell you,
young men this country needs a blood
letting. We have grown too gross.
Things worth while are wanting. We
need the rumble of the cannon, and
less of the music of the cabaret. We
need the sound of the marching hosts,
not the seductive shuttle and tap, tap
of the foolish dance. We need the
sons that once awakened a nation to
glory, not the effeminate tank, tank of
the ragtime youth. We need men to-
day, and not manikins."
