why" the reader asks, ARE not
these spies snapped up?
That is one of the great unsolved
mysteries of the war. One hears from
time to time names of men and women
who are supposed to be engaged in spy
ing for the export trade one is con-
fidently assured that not until the
books are opened on the Judgment DAY
will it be known how many of these
spies the French have quietly shot
That is probably true. The french are
delightfully efficient in their way. They
have not the Anglo-SaNon passion Tor

one continues to hear the names OF ac-
tive spies. Maybe the persons named
have been hbeled.
The Speed of Spies.
At any rate a spy who might gain
possession of a bit of important in
formation could get it over to Germany
inside of thirty-siX hours. 1t is .prac-
tically no trouble whatever to leave
France for either Switzerland or Spain.
In Switzerland the spy need but shout
the information across the border In
Spain there is an excellent wireless
working day and night to German and
Austrian cities.
Therefore the American officers are
being urged to restrain their passion
for conversation. There is no doubt
that the man who can give the latest
details of the next movement by
American troops can be sure OF holding
the center of any social stage.
There is also the grave possibility
that the next officer caught holding the
center in that fashion is apt to be elect

mules He could do less harm in that
position. Whatever secrets a mule may

Herbert Corey Declares Amei-

GOSSIP HELPS
BY HERBERT COREY.

WITH The AMER1CAN ARMY, jan
uary 15-American officers are being
told to dry up" They talk too much
to people they do not know. Trans
lations of the "mefiez-vous. taisez-
vous" signs are being thrust on their
notice. Those signs have warned
French officers and civilians to be
careful
The reason is that France. and es-
pecially Paris. is full of spies-drip-
ping with spies.
Headquarters has not issued a gen.
eral order as yet along the lines sug-
gested, but advice is being rubbed into
the young officers. Our officers have
been as garrulous as 5aybirds over
here. This statement does not apply
solely to the Plattsburgers, either.
Graduates from West Point have been
as bravely candid as any national
guardsman who ever rode a horse on
the 30th of May
Not long ago important action was
planned by the American Army. Per-
haps before this story reaches the
United States by mail it will have
developed. It was the sort OF action
that should be kept dark secret until
ii had eventuated.
But every one in Paris knew about
the American plans. L heard them talk
ed of in barrooms and restaurants and
| in teashops and private houses. One
heard the details of the plan. The de-
tails may not have been accurate, but
they were at least consistently inaccu-
| rate. Every one had the same story
Conceding that the Germans have any
interest whatever in what the Ameri-
cans may plan to do over here, they
must have known just when and where
the Americans planned to do it.
Many Spies in Paris.
For the spy system in Paris is about
as much of a secret as the daily sched-
ule of operations of the Metro.
There is very we'll known restau-
rant in Paris. which is believed to be
the headquarters of the spy system.
Perhaps the restaurant has been liz
beled. Yet ] know of one case in which
a German U-boat captain made it his
headquarters during his visit to Paris.
He told a man 1 know in Switzerland
that he visited Paris every few weeks.
He liked it better than kiel, he said.
There is more life, is there notT' he
commented in French. 1T is not SO

Nine-tenths of the Paris guides are
under what the secret services of the
allied nations fond1y believe to be
surveillance. An officer who has never
seen Paris before naturally employs
guide to show him about. The guide
infuses him with a certain amount OF
history, and in the course or the day
asks two or three apparently harmless
questions. His knowledge of affairs
enables him to ask questions that VIII

No favor was found for this PROPOSE
ton among the allied nations, however,
the good faith OF the Germans in par
ticular in making this offer being
doubted This doubt later was found
by the Russians themselves to be we'll
founded, and Germany was charged by
Trotzky with making territorial annex
atoms under her specious interprcta-
ton of the doctrine OF sef-determna-
ton.
Meanwhile, Russia was fast splitting
up. District after district declared It's
Independence, Finland and Ukraine be
ing the notable examples. The Tx
raine opened separate negotiations with
the central powers, and these culminat-
ed last Saturday in the signing Of a
peace agreement.
The bolshevki have not recognized
the authority OF the Ukraine to treat
for itself through representatives of the
Ukraine rada tcongress), but apparently
Germany and her allies saw an opening
for forcing peace through insertion OF
the Ukrainian wedge.
Whether the elimination of the Tx.
rainian negotiations in peace treaty
was the determining factor in inducing
| the bolsheviki to declare the state of
war at an end is not at all clear as yet.
