RUSSIA CLOSES
ALL FRONTIERS
PREMIER KERENsKY HOPES TO
ExTERMINATE ALL SPIES
AND TRAITORS.
SLAV ARMY RETREATING
Gains Made In Early Part Of July Are
Lost BY Dlsoreanized Troops
Of New Republic.

Petrograd-Russia has bottled up in
her vast dominions all the elements
of discord that her provisional govern
ment now has unlimited power to sup
press. A campaign of rigid extermi-
nation is to follow the closing of all
frontiers, as officially announced by
government decree.
Until August Is, no one will be per-
mitted entrance or departure from
Russia.
Meanwhile Russia's democracy
hopes to comb out all German spies,
all malcontents, all traitors whose
Vaccinations caused the recent riots
in Petrograd and the break down of
the army around Tarnopol.
Slav Army Retreating.
Having retreated a distance of APP
proximately 100 miles from where Ker-
ensky, the iron man of Russia, car
ried them in his personally conducted
drive early in July, the Russian army
on the center of the line in East Ga
licia is again on Russian soil on both
sides of Husiatyn and is still being
followed by the armies of the Teutonic
allies.
Likewise the armies to the north
and south continue to fall back be-
fore the enemy, at few points only
standing to offer a semblance of re.
sistence, and then only for short per-
iods Of time. Wherever those of the
faithful troops attempt to give battle,
they are harassed by numerically
stronger forces of the Teutons and
compelled to give ground, receiving
no assistance from the irrecalcitrant
former brothers-in-arms.

NO CAUSE FOR SPY HYSTERIA

Of course the German government has an elaborate syp system in this country, just as it has in all other countries of consequence. We have been loath as a nation to believe that great organization existed, but so was England when the war began to it's subsequent regret. The govern ment agents in this country have un- earthed enough information of startling character to know how ex- tensive it's notifications are.
 It is improbable, however, to get the notion that every other German in the United States is hired spy of the kaiser. After England discovered the extent of the system in that coun- try there was spy hysteria which should never have been. It is impera- tive that every step be taken to safe guard the nation against the espiOn- age of our enemy, and civilians as secret agents of the government can
Valdez daily prospector., 1917-07-21

do much to keep tab on suspicious alien enemies, but there is danger of overdoing the spy hunt" here as there was in England.
 The officials at Washington are prone occasionally to exaggerate in cidents revolving about spy activities. An instance of this occurred in con nection with the reported attack by German submarines on American transports. American correspondents in France and at the American fotilla base reported that no U-boat attacks occurred. Subsequently Secretary Dan iels gave out a story to the effect that the transports had been attacked. His information was based on Admir- al Gleave's official report. Apparently there was something to it. but the statement issued by George Greet, the administration censor or publicity man. announced that the submarines had attacked "in force" and that evi- dently German spies in America had in some unknown manner got infor- nation to Germany of the troops de- parture.
 Now officials admit that while the attack was made it was not made "in force" and they doubt very seriously .l hoI nation regarding the troop ships leaving. It is the prevailing opinion that the U-boats, knowing division was to be sent to France-as the whole world knew-were lying in wait in the hope of intercepting them.
 The government is performing a duty in applying the boot to the Ger man agents and members of the for mer embassy who are undoubtedly working against the interests of our country. Spies and agents should be dealt with severely and if any error is made, it is better to make it on our side, by sending suspects out of the country, than to expose the nation to peril. These are times of war and ev- cry precaution must be taken to thwart the activities of a resourceful enemy organization which is known to exist.
 But there is no occasion for spy hunt. Hundreds of thousands of Ger mans are conducting themselves in ar exemplary manner and should not be treated as if they were "enemy aliens" rather than "alien enemies" For one spy there are thousands of Germans who are not spies.
