KUHN MAY BECOME
 CHIEF OF STAFF
Has Had Wide Experience in
 Actual Service

Washington. Sept. 20.-Major Gen. Joseph E.. Kuhn, who has seen more actual modern warfare than any other man in the American army, Is to suc- ceed Major Gen. Hugh L. Scott as Chief of the General Staff of the United States army. General Scott will reach the retirement age of GA years Saturday. Whether General Kuhn will take up the work of Chief of Staff as soon as General Scott re- tires or will wait until Major Gen. Tasker H. Bliss goes on retired list on Dec. 31 is not definitely known, and Secretary Baker. would not dis cuss tho matter.
 Major Gen. Bliss was acting chief of staff during General Scott's ab- sence in Russia on the Root mission. It has been intimated for some time that when General Scott is retired, General Bliss will receive chance to round out his career by acting as chief of staff until his retirement, and would then be succeeded by General Kuhn.
 Major Gen. Kuhn's rise has been as rapid as that of any other general officer on the active list of the army oHly llLLlS ON6I two years ago aS was lieutenant colonel. In 1915 he became a colonel, in 1916 a briga- dier general and head of the Army War college, and this summer was promoted to be major general in the national army and assigned to active duty in command of the Seventy ninth division at Camp Meade, near Annapolis Junction. Md.
 Kuhn Anxious to Go to France,
 It Is intimated that after the eleva- tion of General Klhn to the post of chief of the general staff. and when American forces have been sent to France in sufficiently large numbers to justify their use in the fighting trenches, large part of the general staff, including probably General Kuhn himself will go to France to establish headquarters in proximity to the fighting front. General Kuhn has been anxious to go to France ever since war was declared, and 1t is stated that as chief of staff he will recommend the transfer of the prin- cipal part of the general staff to

France so that he will be in close l touch with General Pershing. General Kuhn is held to be emil l nently fitted for the position of chief | of staff. For two years he was mili- l tary observer with the German forces 1 in the present war, and on his return | to the United States, in December, 1916, he was made chief of the war | college, which has been in charge Of creation and consideration of plans for raising a great army.
 He was an observer attached to the Japanese army in the war between served as military observer in nearly every other war in the last twenty years.
 General Kuhn was appointed att tache at Berlin after Colonel Long,
 horne was recalled in April, 1915. He visited the German fronts until the fall
 of 1916. when the German General
 Staff considered 1t unwise longer to allow American military officers to observe what was going on along the
 fighting lines. What General Kuhn learned in Ger
 many has been of the greatest value to the war department in the develop.
 ment of it's plans for the creation of a. great when CClOAc1 IAO1lA
 returned to this country the regular army had scarcely 150,000 men in it's
 ranks, a large proportion of them on
 overseas service in Hawaii, Panama, and the Philippines, and the National Guard not more than 150, 900 men available in service on the Mexican border Today there are about 311,- 900 men in the regular army, nearly 100000 in the ranks of the National Guard, and 687,000 drafted men in various stages of transformation from civil to military life. There will be nearly 1,250,0OO men in the regular army, national army, and National Gurd army by the end of October, and the war department plans to have next year another million men in the field.
 Besides his vast store of military knowledge and experience General Kuhn will bring to bear upon his work as chief of staff the advantage of youth. He is only 53 years old, eleven years below the army retirement age.
 Like Funston, General Kuhn Is a native of Kansas, but, unlike Funs- ton, Kuhn is a West Pointer. General Kuhn is the scholar type of officer who believes in keeping abreast of the latest advancement in the art of modern warfare and has served large- ly with the engineers, except when on duty as military observer.
 General Kuhn was graduated from West Point in 1885 at the head of his class and was assigned to the Corps of Engineers.
 He served five years as instructor of civil and military engineering at West Point and supervised the erec- ton there of the new academy build- ing. He became g. captain in 1896, and was assigned to the office of chief of engineers of the army, where he served as assistant for four vars.
 Returning to West Point, he took charge of the erection of the officers mess and the remodeling of the library building. Then he spent six months in the Philippines

and the recent espionage cases here support his judgment fully.
 On going out into the street one may see, as I saw recently. a little party of American naval officers with guide" of more or less unsavory aspect. In this instance I knew the man to be dishonest and untrust- worthy, if nothing worse, and pre- tending the need of match I com- municated my suspicious to the officer who seemed to be the senior His reply was typical: We never saw the fellow before today. We are here only forty eight hours, do not speak French and need some one to show us around. What else can we do?"
 He then thanked me and said that he would warn his companions to keep a careful guard on their tongues. As he rejoined them I heard the guide say in a voice that showed that

The mayor showed the farm to the government man with considerable pride and the latter complimented the city for it's showing in the work of conserving the food. Mayor Quigley received a let ter from Herbert C. Hoover yesterday urging him to preach cara in the use of food in this city.

English was certainly not his native tongue: "I betcher he spoke about me. Some chaps always want to spoil your bit of sport"
 In another bar near a large hotel especially patronized by allied officers the tactics are somewhat different. Here the appearance of the men is fairly correct, though women are not excluded. This place is a haunt of the doubtful agents d. affaires" as the French call persons who propose marvellous get-rich-quick schemes to young and unwary officers Should the victim bite, it develops that the scheme involves his using his in- fiuence or knowledge in facilitating deals with the government. In some cases, perhaps, these people, either as principals or intermediates, actually have something to sell but whether that is so or not is all the same to

SPY MEANCE STILL
 EXISTS IN FRANCE
Country 0Verrun With Paid
 Agents Of Germany

Paris, Sept 20.-Recent disclosures in the Bonnet Rouge affair have at- tracted public attention to the danger of German agents in Paris.
 It is stated on good authority that the German spy system works on the following lines. Each agent sends report of any information he can gath CT that strikes him as likely to affect the political, economic, military, or moral conduct of the war.
 Central bureaus operating in neu- tral countries connect and check up all this data and pass 1t on to the intel ligence department in Germany. The latter then considers the collection of information and draws deductions therefrom. Thus an apparently trivial fact may prove an important link in the chain of reasoning.
 Herein lies the real danger to any one who talks to chance acquaint- ances. It is just the fact that they may think is harmless which may be of essential value to the enemy
 Such persons infest in particular the so-called American bars in the neighborhood of the opera, in some of which the American entry into the war is still being celebrated with surprising relaxation of alcohol re- strictions. These persons belong gen erally to three classes: First, loungers of fairly reputable appearance, who frequent first-rate establishments and a corresponding class of seedier in- dividuals at inferior places: second, guides" who hang around doorways eager to aid the stranger with their knowledge of French and the seamy side of Paris life, and third, women of the undesirable class who, though barred from flrst-rate bars, are ad- mitted by others.
 To cite examples of spy work In one bar the narrow space between the counter and the wall is packed with a dense mass of khaki-clad figures not all Americans, red-faced, jostling and all talking loudly, quite regard less of civilian listeners here and there among them. Naturally the conversation turns chiefly on the do- ings at the front. A Briton describes an action in which he took part to an interested group of Americans, 1 whose questions elicit details which the enemy perhaps would sacrifice lives to know.
 Many Women Employed. If one advances further one sees in the wider back part of the room rows of tables. at each of which sit girls, some alone waiting, some deep in conservation with officer private, aviator, or sailor. Women of this class are widely utilized by German agents.
 Tn every espionage case look for the DTOSt1tute.' recent 01Stull of g. prominent French police omcial.

An Old Bale Of Cotton.

Messrs. W. H. and j. W. Sanders of
Old Town have in their possession q
bale of cotton that belonged to their
mother who died eight years ago. The
cotton was ginned ten years ago, the
bale weighing 500. At that time the
price was eight cents. Mrs. Sanders
was holding the cotton for ten. Not
withstanding the high price for cot
ton now, Messrs. Sanders refuse to
sell the bale. The cotton, which is
good middling, is as good in its spin
ming qualities today as when gin
ned.
