they have a list Of 10000 persons sus-
pected as spies. on whom they can
lay their hands the instant war is de-
clared by or against Germany.
For two and a half years they have
been working in unofficial co-opera-
ton with Scotland Yard.
Together the organizations have
compiled the long list Of men who
they believe might try to blow up
munitions plants. arsenals and other
government buildings, railroad bridges,
powerhouses and waterwOrks.
One list, containing names of 1000
loyal German subjects" is said TO
have been found among papers Of the
German agent Won Igel when Fed
eral detectives raided and searched
his office in Wall street a year ago.
Close study has been made of the
way Great Britain handled her SPY
and enemy alien" questions at the
start OF the war.
Arrest Of men suspected here as
German spies. following Senator
Overman's statement on the Senate

10 health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way. serious results are
sure to follow. According TO health
statistics. Bright's Disease, which Is
really an advanced form OF kidney
trouble, caused nearly ten thousand
deaths in one year. In the State or
New York alone. Therefore, It is
particularly necessary 20 pay more
attention to the health OF these I'M

An ideal herbal compound that has
had remarkable success as kidney
remedy Is Dr. IIlmer's Swamp Root
the great kidney, liver and bladder
remedy.
The mild and healing influence Of
this preparation, IN most cases, is
soon realized. according TO sworn
statements and verified testimony OF
those who have used the remedy.
When your kidneys require atten-
ton. get Swamp-Root at once from
