SPY SYSTEMS
Describes and Denounces
Activities Of. German
Agents in America.

According to Rev. James T.. Cor
don. pastor OF the First congrega-
tional Church, German spies lurk
everywhere in America. and last
night he told huge audience soms-
thing about their activities in this
country,
"Ths German Spy System" was
his theme, and he took for his text
lisa $40. John VIII:44. rye ere OF

a murderer from the beginning. and
abode not in the truth. because
there Is no truth in him. When he
speaketh a lie. he speaketh of his
own; for he Is q liar. and the father
of it."
I'm the estimation of Hall Caine." !"
said DR.. Gordon. mo man is as
black as he is painted. The spy
Is supposed to be the meanest per-
son in history. and there are two
kinds: social and political"
Then DR.. Gordon told about the
terrorizing methods used in putting
spies to death as a means of dis
couraging their activities. although
admitting that in spite of this the
business was not suppressed.
DR., Gordon estimated that thsre
were 250.000 German spies In
America today, and thsir activities
are widespread throughout the
United States. They are every
where, in fact: In factories. stores,
shops, hotels. apartments, offices,
on railroads. and . ring OF spies
is said to have been found In an
airplane factory in Newark, ". J.
Their methods are social and scien-
tiic," declared Rev, Gordon. "a young
woman is apt to make a very success
full spy. They resort to photography,
the development OF maps. blueprints,
a study of roads and crossroads. In
visible ink. and what not? There Is q
law pending to make the use Of in-
visible ink crime"
The most dangerous spy Is the ru-
NOR SPY. thought DR.. Gordon, and
Russia was cited as a shining example
where rumor was responsible for win
ming. deceiving. robbing and betray-
ing that country. as well as for the
sinking Of transports.
These spies circulate the report that
Germany cannot be conquered" said
the preacher. Another method 10 to
insist that Great Britain is selfish,
France was preparing to fight Ger
many at the outbreak of the war, and
that Japan has secret designs on Rus
sia."
Then DR.. Gordon had something to
say about the circulation OF indecent
literature among our soldiers with a
view OF debauching their morals, and
the maintaining of low resorts near
cantonments to lessen the efficiency
of our fighting forces.
All this was spy work, in the estima-
ton of DIR. Gordon, who then went on
to say that a lie was their favorite
weapon.

Many Of these workers, declared
Kruse, are robbed Of the little they
