Spies Trained from Boyhood

ried a German who had obtained
Dutch nationality in order to mask his
spying work. The marriage was rather
in the nature of a formal business
transaction, but this did not prevent
the one-time German officer from bru-
tally ill-treating his young wife.
Nevertheless she entered into the
spy system with zest, became duly
registered and paid, amused and de-
lighted Paris for some years with her
audaciOuS performances, became ac-
quainted with various highly placed
officials and politicians and found
means, it is said, to make known to
the Germans some of the most i'm
portant French plans in the first
months of the war.
Certainly it is absurd to find q spy
in every German kitchen maid or hall
porter or barber's apprentice, but eyes
have been opened to the extent of the
organization, it's studied and elaborate
character and the cleverness of the
German spy system.
'Here in Paris is a type very diff
ferent from Meg, but one who en-
ploys the. Megs as his agents-the
count of W, old Adolph,' as he
was familiarly called, half in affection
and half in contempt. Adolph was,
not so many years ago, a dashing Off
Ger of the Guards, a great rider, a
beau, a lady killer. Certain histories
in this latter direction cut off his ca
reer as a Guardsman and he came to
Paris. Old Adolph had then nothing
| of the beau cavalier of old; he seemed
good natured, but stupid; he did not
look as if he could mount horse, for
he moved all in block, like a piece
of wood.
Had Hired Chateau.
"Old Adolph incidentally had hired q
chateau which commanded a great
range of country and which possessed
a real value for war purposes. Te
this chateau he made several addi
tions and improvements, which were
| thought to be a fad of dear, stupid
old Adolph; they could be used as ex
a moot point in the circles that ole
| Adolph frequented whether he really
was fool or only had that appear
ance. But it is not remote from this
question to remark that at one poin
the disastrous flight of the German!
from the Marne was brought to an enC
by the fact that they arrived at po
sitions which had been carefully note(
and prepared by Germans before tn,
war.
81 have lifted the veil here ant
there upon the types; the framework O
the system is no less edifying to study
For the past two generations the Ger
mans have been extending and perfect
ing their spy system; it has now be
come one of the important functions O
state. A spy is not taken at hap
hazard and asked impr0mptu to under
take difficult and hazardous work"

debt since the war has increased by
S90,000,0 The total cost has ex-
ceeded this figure by at least $15,00O,-

interest requirements.
1t is easy to see that if all the inter-
est is paid to people living in the

the end of the term also paid to resi-
dents in the United States, the United

cially for having borrowed S20,000,O00,-

Figures StupendouS Beyond Pow
er of Human Mind to
Compass.
MOST OF Them ARE KILLED
Big Price Being Paid for the Worlds
Future Security - Money Cost
Nearly $175,ooo,ooo a Day
Capital Cut Down.
BY FREDERIC J. HAsKIN.

Correspondent OF the CnlcaSO NeWSJ
Washington, d. C.-The figures re-
Icing to the cost of this war are stu
pendous beyond the power of the hu-
man mind to compass.
The number of men killed in battle
has been between 100000 and s.
100000. Offsetting the number of
deaths which would have occurred in
times of peace, it is safe to set the
war loss at more than 100000 men.
This is about one man in twenty for
each year Of the whole number mo-
blli2ed.
The figures are large, but they are
based on the greatest armies the world
has ever seen. Moreover, the death
rate has been falling steadily through
out the war, as methods more econom-
zeal of human life are adopted and
hospital efficiency increases. The
well-prepared nations lose least. Rus
sia has suffered casualties dispropor-
tionately large because in the first
year of the war her troops were sent
to the front poorly supported by artil-
lery and sometimes literally unarmed.
On the western front the French losses
were heaviest for the first two years,
but as England takes over the bulk of
the fighting her casualties increase
and those of France fall off.
Total Of 5,25o,ooo Disabled.
In addition to the dead, the perma-
nently disabled total about 5,250,0OO
IN nm
amounts to about 100000. There
have probably been about 100000
men less seriously wounded in such a
way that they have either been re-
! turned to the front or able to pursue
some useful occupation in civil life.
Some realization of the meaning of
these totals may be cleaned from the
reflection that the dead and the total
ly disabled equal more than half the
able-bodied men in the United States.
The money cost is a vastly more
confusing problem. The total is be-
yond all comparison with any nation
al debts, loans or expenditures of the
past. At the beginning of the war
the cost of S30,000,000 q day. 1t was
predicted Europe could not stand it
for six months. Now, well along in
the fourth year, the cost is nearly
$175,O00,000 q day and there are no
signs of a financial breakdown.
1t has become increasingly evident
that lack of money will never make
any nation surrender. As long as suf.
fcient economic resources actually ex-
ist in the shape of men and munitions
food and beasts and iron and steel
so long can the nation in question con.
tinue to make war. In looking for q
German breakdown the eye should
turn not toward the absurdly depreci
ated German mark, but toward what
Germany has left in men and food an6
steel.

Secret Activities of German
Women Told by DR.. Arthur
Lynch, M. P.
SYSTEM is FAR REACHING
Eyes of French People Suddenly
Opened to Extent of the Organiza-
ton and Its Studied and
Elaborate Character.

London.-Dr. Arthur Lynch, M. P,
writing under Paris date to the Daily
Chronicle on German spies in France,
says:
''In Marcel Prevost's Les Anges Gar
diens' (The Guardian Angels, other
wise governesses) he depicts an Eng
lish governess who is fond of drink,
fections of the son and heir, and a Ger
man, Meg by name-a jolly and attrac-
tive young woman, unembarrassed by
moral scruples, but capable and
shrewd. Meg is a spy, and her spying
is the more dangerous for the fact that
she is the guardian angel of the
daughter of the French war minister.
''This story, written with certain
grace of style, set all France talking
and many a bourgeois family scrutin-
lied with horror their stockish, stupid
looking but hardworking Westphalian
maid, who knew little outside the
small household and who, moreover
had conceived a real affection for the
children.
Il confess 1 was inclined to laugh al
the spy scare, but some time before
the war L used to meet on the stair
case of Il modest and quiet little pri
vate hotel the dame who stood for the
original of Meg. She had an apart
ment adjoining mine. There was moth
ing about her appearance or her man
ners to attract attention. Meg had, il
good German style, grown imposing
though still attractive in the German
fashion.
zone evening, on returning to m!
rooms, 1 saw Meg's lady companion
a dragon looking person, camped on ,
chair on the landing near Meg's door
and presently three middle-aged gen
tlemen left Meg's rooms. Meg knew
| that the war was coming, and no doub
| serious business was on hand tina

Back to grace our land.

But if they must leave US,
If it be thy will,

strength of the four men to sub
due the turtle and haul him upor
