American and other tourists visiting the
Panama Canal have complained that they
are not allowed to wander about as freely
rs they once were The reason apparently
is that the plans Of the Notifications Of the
Canal have been stolen by the spy or spies
Of foreign Power. Our Government has
realized rather late the necessity OF being
on guard against spies. It is understood that
the Notifications are being changed SO that
the plans may become to some extent obso.
lete and misleading.
MFR. Newcomb Carlton. president OF the
Western Union Telegraph Company, first
revealed the fact that the Canal plans had
been stolen On account OF HIS business po-
sition his assistance and advice are needed
In national defense plans. At public meet.
Ing recently Mr. Carlton remarked:
One OF the dangers to preparedness in
this country ia that our army is composed
TO large extent Of foreign born citizena
who have become naturalized. but who are
able to purchase their discharge II for any
reason they wish to sever their enlistment"
He then told OF non-commissioned Of.
ncer OF foreign birth who worked for three
years In Panama on the Notifications and
on the plans. He was an educated and In.
tellisent man. every confidence was placed
in him, and all the details OF the Canal de-
lenses we're at his com napd.

HO70 the Panama
Defense Plans Were Stolen

Shortly after the outbreak OF the present
war this man bought his discharge from the
United States Army and went home. With
him went the plans OF the Canal. He Ia now
serving in the branch Of the foreign army
where his services are most valuable, and
In case we have war with that army his
knowledge OF our forts and military methods
VIII be Of enormous value.
The Newport naval station is one Of the
most important naval centres in the United
States. lndisputable evidence has recently
been obtained that foreign spies were Turk
ing about this place.
Nicholas X. Card. an old Newport fisher.
man. has been arrested for taking a foreign
woman to Rose Island, a Government reser-
walton near the nava! station, which Is used
for the storage OF high explosives and tor.
pedo heads. Card had apparently been lured
Into this work BY the woman on account OF
his great familiarity with these waters.

The United States is the best field in the
world for the spy for several reasons. In The

IS easy to get. In the second place, we us,1.

Is doing his work. Besides the army and

striking example OF the manner IN
which our government service Is Threatened
with espionage is furnished by a case re.
Gently under investigation. Louis Kopsch.
q young German, was caught and arrested
by United States Secret Service officers
just after he had taken complete series
OF photographs OF the Notifications OF
Fortress Monroe. He was an instrument
maker In the employ Of the Carnegie Insti-
tuition In Washington. He was in continual
contact with the employees Of the Wer De.
partment and other government depart.
ments. Hundreds OF young foreigners of
the same type are employed in the govern.
ment departments In positions where scien.
tihc and technical knowledge Is required.
Through them Kopsch had an opportunity
TO gather vast amount OF Information
about the defenses OF the capital OF our
country.
A Bruce Bielas}d. chief Of the Bureau of
Investigations OF the Department Of Justice
became suspicious Of Kopschs actions, and
shadowed him when he made HIS tour OF
tho fortresses and harbors around Wash.
ington.
Kopsch was seized Just as he was leay.
Ing that vital defense centre-Fortress
Monroe. He had a splendid collection OF
photographs OF the .defenses upon him, for
he was an expert photographer. He al
legged that he had obtained permission to
take the photographs from q sentry.
According TO the officers Kopsch also had
with him photographs of the reservation at
Cape Henry, Va. where the government is
planning extensive works to defend the en-.
trance TO Chesapeake Bay
1t Ia generally admitted in washinSton
that the ramihcations OF. the German spy
system extend throughout our Federal de.
partments, although absolute proof may be
lacking Certainly there has been nothing
TO prevent the German Government from
building up such a service for the regular
inspection OF our most intimate national af.
fairs. There are large numbers OF persons
Of German birth employed In the civil serv.
Ice Of the United States, and many OF them
are not even naturalized citizens OF this
country.
At the present time It IS required by Law
that any foreign person applying for en-.
ployment In our civil service shall exhibit
papers proving that he or she is a citizen
OF the United States. But no such require
ment was formerly made. and many thou.
sands OF the Governments employees, now
covered by the blanket" Of the civil serv.

inquiry on this point.

1T is extremely doubtful whether there is
any important secret Of our army that is
not already known to the German General

the possibility that a copy OF every impor-

ANOTHER SLANT IN THE BRYANT-GILLETT
CASE-SOCIETY IS HUMAN SOMETIMES


Ionaire pea Gamer and champion
polo player, has been breaking rec
ords for newspaper space. NeWspa-
per men say no bedroom scandal in
years has filled so many columns of
the papers and used up so much
printers ink. Why?
One story from Lake Forest is
that Gillett never really and truly
belonged" never was able to break
his way into the insidest inside of
sassiety. He's the head of the Wis
consin Pea Canning Co. and there
was always something of a pea-can-
ming factory about him, so that the
real uppety-ups wouldn't let him in.
His wife, however, was pretty much
on the inside when she married him.
She had vurry little cash, but plenty
of keys and passwords to inside cir
cles. And he had. big money. 1t all
looked like a go, a most successful
marriage.
But he was a pea-canner. Hun
dreds of men took orders from him.
During the rush season when the
green peas are hauled in and boiled
and put in cans he had thousands of
women and girls working for him.
He was the big boss and his under
bosses bought the labor Of women.
Before the ten-hour law went into eff
feet at Manitowoc and elsewhere Gil
Iett's straw bosses drove women to
their jobs II, IA, 16 and sometimes
Is hours a day, as state Industrial
records of Wisconsin show.
Child labor bills came up in the
Wisconsin legislature. Gillett's COM
pany was at the front to block them.
1t was the same when the women's
ten-hour law came up. Gillett's COM
pany wanted a full and free right to
hire girls of any age and the further
right to work women and girls from
early morning until midnight.
