LASKiNE NOT HUN SPY,
MERELY BIG NUISANCE,
SAYS LOCAL HOTEL MAN

That Boris de Laskine. who posed
her as Russian diplomat and was ar
rested in San Francisco as an alleged
German spy, was spy is doubted by
officials of the Young hotel who had
occasion to come in contact with him
many times.
HE did not have enough sense to
be a spy said one of the hotel men,
"he was nothing less than a nuisance
around here. He pestered US with
questions and would ask the price of
every little ride while here. 1t was
how much this and how much that
until I used to try to get behind the
desk when / saw him coming"
While de Laskine was here he made
few trips, and from all appearances
did not spend much money.
The hotel man believes that the rea-
son for his arrest was his uncalled
for protest against paying duty on his
baggage in this port.

Plain of all the squadrons brought to- gether about forty machines, Grey said. The R. N. A. S. is now a full sized navy itself and the R. F. c. a full-sized army. The former has sta tions all around the coast and many abroad and each station can launch as many machines as the whole service could at that opening of the war. While the R. F. C., as Grey put it. now fights its own battles in the air and takes hand in everybody's else's battles as well, whether at home or abroad"
 "Everyone anywhere in England, except in the mountain country, knows it is nearly as hard to get miles away from an aerodrome as it is to get miles away from a railway station. People who still drive motor cars tell me that in the country on any reason ably fine day they meet more aero- planes than motor cars.
 Every aerodrome employs dozens of officers and hundreds of men. The squadrons run into hundreds, the off cers in thousands and the men into hundreds of thousands and still the corps keeps growing. New aerodromes are constantly opened and one begins to wonder where we are going to grow our 1918 potatoes"

Italian Army Headquarters in Northern Italy, Dec. 2.-Heavy firing has occurred on the northern line in the last 24 hours, in different sectors around Monte Pertica, between the Brenta and Piave rivers, and on Me letta range, running west of the Brenta. Each of the opposing forces hold part of these positions.
 The general condition along the en- tire Italian front has improved dis tinctly in the last week The defen- sive positions on the northern line are now considered as secure as those along the Piave. This, with the gath ering strength of the Italian and allied forces, has relieved the gravity of the situation.
 Northeastern Italy is now inclosed within a powerful barrier on the north and east, which is considered sufficient to hold the enemy.
