Spies in Canada
BY FREDERIC J. HAsKIN

reported the incident and the secret
agents were put on the case. The
men were Swallowed and plot dis,
covered which actually had as its
basis the destruction of the WellanG
canal, thereby blocking Canada's
wheat shipments to the allies.
In Canada, the government, while
ridiculing the idea of spies, is secret
~ exercising the utmost vigilance in
guarding the frontier and keeping
an eve on foreigners. The arrival OF
South African mine owner, who
goes about jotting down numbers in a
notebook Is now regarded with sus
picion, as is also the Brazilian botan
ist who finds his choicest specimens
in the proximity of the forts. A
strict account is kept of all foreigners
crossing the boundary and an arrange
ment has been made with the railroads
by which the ticket numbers and des
tinations of tickets sold to foreigners
are turned over to the police.
Yet in spite of this internal espion

Immediately after the burning OF
parliament house, when the spy agita
ton was at it's height, the police got
wind Of trunk which had been left
by German in lodging house in his
hurry to get away. Upon investiga
ton they were somewhat disappoint
ed to learn that it had been left three
years before because the man had
been unable to pay his bill. Just a
few days ago, however, he had sent a
draft covering the amount owed and
had asked that his trunk be sent to
him. This put new complexion on
the matter. The trunk was no doubt
filled with important papers or the
man would not have been SO anxious
to reclaim it. In great excitement the
police broke the lock and threw open
the lid of the trunk The important
papers turned out to be only some
ancient love letters written in German
and some very old clothes.
With such disappointments several
times week, it is no wonder that the
authorities see nothing but spontan.
eous combustion in the mysterious fire
occurrences and ridicule the idea of
spies and German irvasions.

GRINNELL STUDENT

Grinnell, March 14.--I.essons In the
Chinese language are being given at
Grinnell to class of about twenty by
Entang Hou, Chinaman, who is a
senior at this college. Mr.. Hou re-
ports that his class Is progressing rap
idly in the study of the difficult
tongue.
So far as can be ascertained this
is the first attempt made in an Iowa
college to study Chinese. The class
is attended by members of the fac.
ulty as well as undergraduates. Mr..
Hou, who has this work in charge,
came to Grinnell two years ago, en-
tering the junior class at that time.

AUTOMOBILES ARE
OVER 100000 NOW
SECRETARY OF STATE ALLEN
REPORTS MANY AS BEING
REGISTERED THERE.

Des Moines, March 1.-THE auto
mobile registration for 1916 in the Of.
nee Of w. s. Allen, secretary of state,
has passed the 100000 mark. The
amount now in the state treasury in
the auto fund is more than $1,000,000
with every indication that 1t will
reach $1,500,0OO by April I, when the
semi-annual distribution Of the fund
among the ninety-nine counties Of the
state will take place.
The new law requires automobile
owners to register their cars before
April |. Persons who fail to register
by that time will be required to pay
an extra 10 per cent for the month of
April. and five per cent additional for
every delinquent month after that,
for the registry of machines.
There were 100000 autos registered
in 1915. With 100000 already regis
tered for 1916, it is expected that the
| other $4,000 will be registered during
the remaining three weeks of this
month. The Office will suffer a rush
OF business that will eclipse anything
! in the experience Of that department,
it is said.
If the state has $1,5OO,0OO to dis
tribute on April /, twill be the big
gest melon the state has ever cut.
1t will equal almost the entire three
previous distributions made from
this fund. The advantage of getting
the money in a lump sum In the
spring, will be that the counties can
do more road work this year. Under
the old law the distribution made In
October was usually larger than that
made in April, and the October money
som etimes came too late for road
work that year.

Washington, d. c.. March 9.--There
are no spies in Canada-at least, SO
say the officials. The people do not
agree with them however, and are
persistent in their demands that i'm.
mediate and drastic measures be TAX
en- to protect Canada from any more
outrages such as the burning of parlia-
ment house.
The officials still hold that this mys-
toriOus fire was due to accidental
causes, but the people are not to be
convinced. The accidental causes, they
point out, could hardly have been re-
sponsible also for the attack on Vic
toria bridge across the st. Lawrence,
tho destruction Of the Cape Spencer
oil depot and fog station, and the three
equally mysterious fires in munition
factories, all of which occurred in
rapid succession. G
The wild rumors circulated about a
German invasion of Canada have as.
sumed new significance since the
| recent outbreak Of fires. %
These rumors, coming from various
parts of the United States and even
England, all seem to coincide. 1T
seems that the Germans, at war with
, England, are anxious for the Canad-
ians to remain in their own country,
and hence are thinking up ways to
keep them there. They have figured
out, so the rumors have it, that If
Canada hears that she is to be invaded
she will keep more troops at home.
Thus the government is informed that
large number of citizens, presumably
Belgian refugees and Scandinavians,
are in reality German army officers
who are drilling companies of their
own countrymen for future attack on
Canada.
Furthermore, many movements OF
the same sort are reported to be on
foot in the United States. 1t has
been brought to the attention Of the
Canadian authorities that out of the
enormous number of rifles manufac-
ured for the allies in the United
States not one has been shipped out
of the country since November. The
question is, what has become of them?
There is only one answer, of course.
The unsuspecting Americans have sold
them to Germans with fictitious names
who are storing them up in secret
hiding places for raid on Canada.
i
authorities but firmly believed by the
Canadian people, are also creating a
certain amount of nervousness in the
United States. As a neutral country,
we would be held responsible for any
military aggression instigated on our
borders and perpetrated from Ameri-
can soil. The department of justice,
through it's numerous secret service
agents, is making every effort to see
that such thing does. not happen.
The slightest hint of anything IT.
