ADJUSTMENTS
German Spy System Most Complete
In the World

In the World.
The United States government has
appropriated millions of dollars in re-
cent months to fight the remarkably
efficient spy system in America. At
present there is not bridge or tun-
mel of any size, ammunition factory,
or public utility of any Importance,
that is not guarded by federal troops,
the police or private guards. All
these facts have prompted William
Fox to produce The Spy" written
by George Bronson-Howard and ex-
acted by Dustin Farnum and capa-
BILE company. "The Spy" exposes
German plots in the United States
plots that for wanton wickedness are
without parallel in the history of the
world.
1t is no secret that the Kaiser has
upward of 10000 trained agents in
America, and they have been in
America for months before the war
operating not only as government Sc
cret service men, but as agents for
German commercial interests. Wash
ington knows facts about the breed
that would startle the average Amer
lean citizen. It is a matter of pub
lie information that the designs for
the mighty guns used by the Ger
mans to batter down the walls of
Liege and Namur in Belgium were
stolen from the patent office at the
capital. And the German foreign of
flee calmly admitted that it instigat-
ed the Mexican-Japanese plot against
the United States.

MEXICO BUYS R. R.
 OF BIG IMPORTANCE

The industrial rehabilitation of Mexico seems to be indicated in the agreement which has just been made for the dissolution of the Tehuantapec National Railway Co.,, and the trans fer of it's immensely valuable and im- portant property to the Mexican gov ernment.
 That route (the narrowest part of the American continent) was origin ally selected by Heranando Cortez, nearly four centuries ago, as one of the three or four available for inter- oceanic transit, and was repeatedly surveyed since his time with that end in view.
 Capt. Eads, builder of the St. Louis bridge and the Mississippi jetties, planned a ship railroad which would carry ocean steamers across that isth- mus overland, says the "Independ- ent." Finally the great British firm of S. Pearson & Son built an ordinary railroad across the isthmus and con- structed a great harbor works at each end; all of which are now to pass from British to Mexican national ownership.
 The chief importance of the route | is in it's nearness to the United States and the consequent saving of distance | by. it between the two coasts of this country. From New Orleans to San Francisco by way of Tehuantepec is 1 1,800 miles less than by Panama.

ITCHING AVIATORS HAVE OWN LANGUAGE

The air service, like most special branches, has it's own vocabulary, for some of which we are indebted to Everybody's for January.
 ''An officer of flying status, but who for some reasons does not fly, is called penguin This name is also applied to a type of trailing machine which does not rise from the ground An officer in the flying service with out flying status is called 'kiwi' after an Australian bird. A pilot is gener- ally called 'quirk' A flight is called a flip and if it is a distinguished failure it is called a 'wash-out' An airplain is usually called a bus The great hope of the airman is to spike bozzle' or bring down 'Zepp,' or onc of the smaller non-rigid dirigible they call 'blimps.' The airman's pes is the onion or large flaming anti aircraft shell which Archie sends uI as a sort of bouquet-with sometimes an unpleasant smell. Archie is the general name for the anti-aircraft gun"

REASON IRISH POET
 FOUGHT FOR ENGLAND

Francis Ledwidge, the young Irish poet who was killed in action in Elan ders July 31, 1917, explained in let ter to Prof. Lewis Chase, of the Uni versity of Wisconsin, his motive in en- tering the British army. To those who think of Ireland primarily as the rebellous child of Britain, Ledwidge' S letter may be a surprise. 1t was written June 6, 1917, and is published in the Century Magazine" We quote:
 Some of the people who know me least imagine that I joined the army because l knew that men were strug- gling for higher ideals and great em- pires, and I could not sit idle to watch them make for me a more beautiful world.
 '"They are mistaken. I joined the British army because she stood be- tween Ireland and an enemy common to our civilization, and I would not have her say that she defended us while we did nothing at home but pass resolutions. I am sorry that party politics should ever divide oul own tents, but am not' without hope that new Ireland will arise from her ashes in the ruins of Dublin, like the Phoenix, with one purpose, one aim and one mbition.

see at a long distance with his field glasses. He thought that they meant to give themselves up. They came very close and conversed with him. They said they would bring all their peo- pie and sign a treaty to be prisoners of war. We got orders to halt when we were within a half a mile of their camps. After that we saw no more of the Indians and heard nothing of them. After sometime Gen. Hancock didn't seem to believe what the chiefs said to him and he gave orders to us to charge the camps.
 First the cavalry surrounded the camp and we infantry followed. When we got into the camp there were only the old Indian man and woman. They had plenty of every kind of pro- visions in their camp. This is what they call a permanent camp. We set fire to the wigwams and burnt them all. I wish to tell you little more about myself. My company was Co., I. U. S. 37th Infantry. I lost my dis

 We were overjoyed to hear from you and also to know that you are a soldier of the United States. If I had 20 sons I would wish them to fight for the cause of America, as I have been soldier myself and served three years in the U. s. Army. I was Cor poral during that time. I crossed the plains in 1886 and was stationed in place called Fort Stanton, New Mex ico, and Fort Leavenworth. We had a pretty rough time of it. I was on General Hancock's expedition. We were marching for about three months trying to hunt up the Indians and never found them. We found their camps which were deserted There were only one old Indian man and woman left behind in the camp Altogether there were about three hundred tents. When we were about two days march from their camp we met three or four Indian chiefs. Gen. eral Hancock gave orders to his men not to fire on them. He said they had flag of true raised. He could
