NAMELESS!
BY GEORGE BARR MccuTcHEoN
of The Vigilantes.

The mysterious disappearance of a man
without a name.
In the sentence lies the true solution of
the spy problem.
The morning newspaper 1aconically
announces that during the preceding night
from the Department of Justice. A curt,
sinister line completes the story: He
will never be seen nor heard of again.
No comment. No putting forward of
the name or the deeds of the man for
friend or foe to praise or curse. No long.
detailed account for the curious or the
morbid to read. Nothing more than the
paragraph: Last night an unnamed alien
against whom conclusive proof has been
obtained was taken into custody by oper-
atives from the Department of Justice.
He will never be seen nor heard of again
Complete obliteration.
A man mysteriously missing from the
circles in which he moved: man for
whom some will inquire at first and then
grow silent with dread and awe; a man
whose name will never be mentioned.
whose fate will never be known. whose
evil will remain forever unheralded-
The world will never know what has
become OF him. His friends will know
that he is gone from their midst. His
wife and his children, his father and
mother and brothers and sisters will know
that he no longer walks among them.
They will wonder and they will whisper
his name. But they will never know the
length nor the nature of the journey he
has taken. They will never know wheth-

fore the house merchant marine
committee today to urge complete
government control OF all wireless
stations in this country, and its pos
sessions. was criticized for "em-
barking this nation on a policy Of
government ownership without con-
gressiOnal sanction"
The secretary was asked by Rep.
EdmOnds, Pennsylvania, why he
had bought outright from private
concerns the wireless stations along
the Pacific coast, and authority for
his action was demanded.
Daniels replied that the purchase,
amounting to S1,450,OOO. was au-
thorized by an appropriation bill
providing for the general improve
ment and extension of the wireless
system in this country"
Good business Deal.
1T was also a good business deal, p"

by the purchase Of Marconi wireless
sets from merchant ships at the
time they were requisitioned by the
