SUGGESTS AN EXAMPLE
De MADE OF SPIES
Executions Would Have a Good
Effect on Enemy
Operations.

London. July 70 rby aID.-The
most effective method of combating
the German espionage system in the
United states is to be found in CO.
operati ion between the public generally
and the police, according to opinions
expressed to the associated press BY
high officials Of Scotland Yards.
Since the entry of the United States
into the war English officials and of
ficials of the United States depart
ment Of justice have been closely
cooperating along these and other
related lines and the American agents
have been furnished with such in
formation not only in regard TO per-
sons but in regard to methods of
catching those who are working for
Berlin
The compact wireless apparatus IS
ually moved about ana within con-
tainers that disguise its real nature.
is To be especially guarded against,
Scotland Yards feels Considerable
difficulty has been experienced here
with the wireless and the police now
freely employ an instrument through
the use Of which these enemy iustru-
ments are detected
Wholesale internment of Germans
will not solve the problem. England
has not nterned all her German resi-
dents, but the police are absolutely
sure Of the connections of those al
lowed TO remain at large.
There is a general feeling in Lon
don that the execution of the first
spies caught would go far in the
United states toward pers uading 9TH
ers Germans as we'll as neutrals, that
such work is extremely hazardous.

confirm this point of view and show
that many conservative leaders who
have recently gone out of Office are
now again coming to the front of af
fairs. They include such men as the
former president of the duma.
Rodzianko: the former minister of in
struction, lgnatiefr; Leader Plehkhan-
off, of the social domestic party. Pro-
lessor Avksenteff, socialist. and Ad-
inirai kolchak, of the Black sea fleet.
This,is interpreted to forecast more
representative and better balanced
government.
AT the same time arrests among the
Bolshevili and the Red Guard are CON
tinuing. The council of worlImen and
soldiers delegates has issued different
appeals to different sections of the
community, citing the danger of the
situation and supporting dictatorial
powers to make the results of the rev
| olution safe.
Premier Kerenskys call for an ex-
traordinary national council announced
today from Petrograd to meet In Mos
cow July 81 was also forecast in EN- To-
bassy dispatches sent just prior to the
decision. They state that all parties
had united in demanding an emergency
| meeting of all leaders. including con-
| servatives. professors and others not
now connected with the government.
Fears Of food riots which originally
precipitated the crisis in Petrograd
leading to the revolution are dispeled,
the dispatches add, by reports of
splendid harvests from all over Rus
sia. At the same time every effort
Is being made to improve the trans
portation system so that parts of the
country will not be starving while
others are over supplied.
The Galician military defeat was
further explained by mutiny in one
division of from 10000 to 10000 men
which opened up the front to the Ger
mans and allowed them to drive in a
wedge 20 miles deep which necessl-
tated the retirement of the whole of
General Korniloffs forces Of 100000
men.

Boy Scouts Camped at

home from Pitman Grove last Sunday
night on the eight O'Clock train after a
weeks eDcampmept at that Methodist
CAM meeting resort. To use the words
of n of the boys "most of them had a
good time.n The explanation to this
is that some of them got homesick. 1t
was not all sunshine there, for they en-
countered q hard rainstorm and their
camp was flooded with water and the
boys got wet. No wonder the boys, who
range from twelve to sixteen years of
age, got homesick. A side from this
discomfort all went we'll and there was
plenty to eat. Scoutmaster Walter NJ.
Beers was cook. Their drinking water
was obtained from a near by spring.
They went bathing in the lake most
everyday, and on Friday many of the

fifteen miles. Visitors at the camp
from Wild wood were Mr.. and Mrs.

Ten More Forest BattaIi0ns
Authorized

From the Forest Service, U. 8. De-
partment of Agriculture:
The formation of a second Forest"
regiment com prising ten battalions and
composed of lumbermen and woods
workers, who will go to France and get
out of the forests, materials for the use
of the American, French and British
armies, has been authorized by the war
department., 1t has been announced.
Two b~attalions are to be raised at once
with the active aid of the Forest Ser
vice of the Department of Agriculture.
1t is expected that the rem raining eight
battalions will be called for in a short
time. Nine service battalions, made
up of laborers who will be used in con-
nection with the forest regiment, have
also been authorized and two battalions
have been ordered raised st once.
In order to provide for future con-
%tingencies, it has been decided to COM
mission at the present time, enough
officers for other battalions yet to be
raised. Those men not needed now
will be placed on the reserve and will
be called as the other units are formed.
According to the present plan, fifty per
cent. of the officers will be sawmill and
logging operators, twenty-five per cent.
will be technical foresters and twenty
five per cent. will be men with military
training. A number of the graduates
of the engineer camps have been Sc.
lected for service with the new units.
A considerable number of captains
and l%ieutenants is to be selected in the
immediate future. The minimum age
limit for commissioned officers has
been set at 81.
A first regiment of woodsmen num-
bering about 1900 men aud designated
as the Tenth Engineers (Forest,) has
already been recruited and assembled
and Is now being trained at American
University, D. q. This regiment was
raised at the request Of the British gov
eminent to undertake the production
in France of crossties, bridge, trench
and construction timbers, mine props,
lumber and other forms of wood re-
quired In connection with its military
operations. The landing of the Ameri-
can expeditionary forces has made
similar provision for their
needs, while the French military au-
thorities have indicated that some of
the work incidental to their operations
might be taken over by woodsmen from
this country. Decision to raise the new
and much larger force has followed a
study of the field of possible usefulness
to the Allied cause, made by American
foresters attached to General Pershing's
staff.
Each of the ten battalions of the
regiment will comprise three
of $50 men each and will be
under the command of its own major.
The regiment will be made up of
volunteers. Applicants must be white
and between the ages Of Is and 40.
Skilled lumber jacks, portable mill OPP
orators, tie cutters, logging teamsters,
camp cooks, millwrights and charcoal
burners are among the classes of men
desired.
For the "servicen battalions both
negro and white laborers will be n
listed.
