Risk of Espionage.

| A declared state of war would make
the spies and many of the other plotters
now infesting the country liable to a
death penalty. In the present state OF
neither war nor peace, they have for the
moment and are liable to have for some
time a dangerous liberty.
The figures given to the public by Sen
ator 0verman, who tells of 100000 spies
at work in the United States, are his
own, but his mental attitude is that Of
many prudent persons. They remember
what an astounding amount of damage
was done when the information machine,
the money mill of Won Papen, the crime
strategists in German consulates and the
hired German dynamiters all got to
working smoothly in 1915. They fear
that in case of aggravated difficulty with
Germany the whole trouble may start
over again, ten times worse.
The arrest of Sander, previously noto-
rious, now held on charge of engineer
ing a spying scheme under the guse of a
news enterprise in England, comes just
in time to remind the country that all
the Teuton plotters hereabouts are not
dead yet. The suspension in their activi-
ties in 1916 was due rather to policy
framed by Berlin than to the mild pun
ishment imposed upon culprits here.
There is fear for the future. Efficient
spies may find means TO offer up hun
dreds of thousands OF tons of merchant
shipping. and even the best ships of our
navy, to the mine and the submarine,
They can inaugurate such reign of
ruthlessness as well, among other evils,
arouse antagonism between the Teutonic
and the other clements in the popula-
ton; calamity to the country as great
as would be the loss of a great city.
Those who advocate the passage of a
stringent federal statute against spying
are therefore right in principle and most
timely in application.-New York Even
ing Sun.
