mot looking--a German spy?
Mr.. Club Man! Is the head waiter

son or father "over there" and your
self your neighbors and your country

The concensus of opinion among
secret service men who are on the
job is that 80 per cent of this mar

and keep continually after them. Mos

Parson Is Caught
A parson asked and got permission
TO go through munition plant where
large sheets of rubber are manufac"
tured. to "see how the thing was
done" so he could tell his family and
congregation. The guard who con-

rubber. l would like to take 1t home

Placing his hand on the parsons
shoulder, the secret service man
calmly said:

It is hardly probable that minister
would know that you have to wet the
blade of a knife before you can cut
rubber"
An investigation revealed the par

interned.

States can be divided into six classes.
and these classes are sub-divided into
as many more apiece.
First-There is tho military spy,
who obtains important military Sc
crets of great value to his country.
In this class will be found the brains
of the German spy system, for the
work is most difficult and dangerous.
Capture means certain death. Within
this class is the political spy who

in the nation, thus establishing
leaks on information. Among the
operatives of this class are business
