INTERNATIONAL "SPY"
GETS LEGAL STATUS
Court Says Every Well Regulated
Novel or Play Must Have Its
Secret Agent.

NEW YORK, January 11.-Judicial
recognition of the international spy
as character in modern fiction was
accorded by Judge Julius NJ. Mayer in
a decision handed down in federal dis
trict court, in a copyright injunction
suit instituted by an author who al
legged the plot of a recently produced
play had been taken from a novel writ
ten by him.
In denying the Injunction Judge Mayer
said:
play must have a spy. Having ac-
Quired spy. the novel and the play re-
quire that the spy must get somebody
in trouble. Stage and story male spies
are always very villianous persons.
When they are humble men they usual
ly have heavy eyebrows. a stoop or a
slouch and sinister look. When they
are higher up in spydom they are well
groomed and have an erect bearing, but
they must also have sinister look.
Female spies usually must be hand
some, or at least attractive. Some
times they have flashing jewels, al
though occasionally a minor female spy
who. say. is the landlady Of an an inn Is
permitted to be afflicted with embon-
point rather than jewels.
Thus this war added new class OF
spies to fiction, and some say to real
life Persons supposed to have been
kindly and inoffensive it seems are
spies, and most of these are in some
way connected with inns. 1t is a SAD
revelation"

German Socialists Opposed to Unre-

AMSTERDAM. via London, January
1.-THE German Socialists Vorwaerts
Association has declared emphatically
against unrestricted submarine war
fare, according to a Berlin dispatch to
the Rheinsche Westphalische Zeitung
of Essen. The dispatch quotes Herr
Ebert, socialist member of the
reichstag. as saying at meeting OF
the organization on January s:
I'VE expect the German government
to leave no stone unturned in support
of President Wilson's efforts for peace.
On no condition must our relations with
neutrals risk being prejudiced by un-
restricted warfare. The social demo-
cracy is firmly adhering to the policy
outlined in August, 1914
Herr Ebert is also quoted as saying
that the condition within the socialist
party is extremely serious. The Nor-
waerts organization is not connected
with the socialist newspaper of the
same name.
