tan City in the World.

LondOn.-TO young American fight.
Ing men, as well as to English, the
same advice is gOOd-that it is wise
and patriotic soldier and sailor who
keeps his war information to himself; !;
because, despite repeated warnings
about the dangerous habit of discuss
ing military and naval matters in pub
lie, London restaurants and hotels are
still full of chatterers. In the past
women have been accused of being
possessed Of an uncomfortable pas
sion for gossip, but it seems that men
are even worse in this respect.
Some idea of the danger of random
talk about matters that should be kept
confidential and never discussed in
public may be gathered from the fact
that London is still the. most cosmO-
pOlitan city in the world. The West
end is crowded with male and female
Gdyenturers from almost every known
country, including Germany, and al
though every one of them would swear
by everything that is holy that they
are longing passionately for an allied
victory, there is little reason to doubt
that some of them are spies, and many
undoubtedly are potential spies.
TO give an example: Only recently
In one Of London's biggest hotels there
was quite a little cluster of Russian
women. They were young and pretty,
had attractive manners, and were not
hampered by any chaperon. So they
soon found admirers in plenty-just
what they were after.
Confined Attention to Officers.
Perhaps there would not have been
anything very strange about this but
for the fact that these young women
confined their attention exclusively to
officers, soldiers, sailors, and airmen.
They invariably turned the cold shoul-
der upon civilians, but no sooner did
strange officer appear in the lounge
than somehow or other they man.

Another curious thing about these
women was that they rarely spoke to
any man for more than 20 minutes
or half an hour. Perhaps they would
have cup of coffee with him or
smoke a cigarette, but In few min
utes the women made some excuse and
went away.
Still more suspicious was the fact
that several of these Russian women
were seen to be constantly converslng
with young Russian civilian. He
also was stopping in the hotel and ap-
peared wherever he was seen with

Responsible Democratic leaders
since the meeting Of their committee
at ParFeraburg have been busy since
that affair tsyHg q cioar up al1t

Their statement for il is that in the eX-
ecutivc session Of the committee there
was no argument TO discriminate
against any OF the Republican con.
gIcssmon in considering the proposed
two.party endorsement scheme That
developed, they claim, when the COM

sion. and was precipitated by some OF
the brethren who had apparently par.
taken Of the abundant free refresh

explanation it is given for what it is
worth. From all reports made by
these explainers, Red Petty. the hooch
Hawkshaw of the village, had his good
eye shut when the dervishers Of Democ
racy were doing the demon dance.
But that is only an unimportant side
matter The important thing is that
a number Of responsible and sober
minded leaders OF that party have
been busy ever since that meeting try
/ ing to assure the Republicans that the
accredited representatives OF the par
/ ty, that is the members Of the commit
tee, we're serious, sober and well-in
tentioned; that they discussed the
proposition in a proper. dignified and
patriotic way, such as ii was entitled
to be given, and that the action taken
as set forth in the resolutions passed
and made public, was in good faith
and without prejudice. They claim
that whatever contrary impression got
abroad was given by men who had nc
credentials, possessed no responsible
ties nor powers in the premises or of oil
them, and, well as we have reported
them saying already, the stuff that
puts Marietta on the map and keeps
