Russia I saw that in 1909, at the time OF
the annexation of Bosnia and Here
govina, a large number of German spies
were sent into Russia for the purpose o,
gathering information regarding the feel
ing of the Russian people toward Aus
trials step. They travelled extensively If
the trains, they talked to Russians in res
taurants and hotels, and their instructions
were to report everything that might have
any bearing on war. Some OF the agents
according to Russian officials. telegraphed
to Berlin daily in code whatever they con-
sidered of Importance.
Special Subjects OF Spy Inquiry.
Here are several subjects the German
spies in Russia were instructed to in
vestigate:-
/. The morale OF the army. Instances
of violation of discipline. The success
of revolutionary propaganda in the
army. The degree of confidence of the

mans. He knew exactly how to act. where
to get his provisions. where to impose
contributions.
German Spies Active In Every City.
This was true Of almost every city In
Russia that the Germans entered. They
had Germans in all these places working
for the Kaiser for years before the war.
From correspondence found on German
soldiers, killed or wounded near Warsaw
it is evident that the Germans not only
knew all they wanted to know about the
Qualifications and official buildings in the
city, but they even divided Warsaw into
districts before entering it. The German
General Staff had given specific instrue-
lions in what parts Of the city troops were
to be stationed. They indicated the houses
which were to be occupied oy the Gen.
ora, Staff and by the officers. The Ger
mans had so arranged matters that each
of the officers could drive to his home In

According to the Russian documents, be
fore the outbreak OF the war the Germa,
spies had prepared signs and posters alon:

the advertisements Of the firm "Maggi."

A day or two after the declaration O,

telegram from the agent of this firm an.
noCnc1ng that he was coming to change
the number Of the advertisement. The sor
OF the cottage owner, who saw this teie-

The young man then examined
the sign closely and noticed upon
the back of it map Of the coast

rocks, &c. The young man in
formed the authorities who ex-
anined all the other "Maggi"
signs and advertisements. All
had maps on the back. The spies
thus prepared for the German
landing. There were numerous
such instances.
Thanks to the statistical work Of the
German agents. the Germans on entering
a city know the location Of the most i'm.
portant buildings and houses Bomba rd-
ing the city. they always aim at these
structures. The information supplied by
the secret agents was used in the attempts

TURN AN HOUR AHEAD
Beginning Last Sunday We
Advanced The Textbook
Just One Hour on New
Time Schedule.

! Young fellows, who have been
lying in bed until eight O'Clock
p. m. in the morning, had better
get into the game with both feet,
for beginning last Monday if
you did not arise according to
the new schedule, you were just
one whole hour in arrears Of the
usual time every able bodied man
should observe in leaving his
comfortable couch.
Last Monday, or midnight
Sunday to be exact, every clock
in the United States was turned
just one hour. This was is ac-
cordance with the new daylight
law just passed by congress and
signed nv the President.
The purpose of this measure is
to give the people of the United
States an hour more daylight in
| which to do their work. 1t will
remain effective until November
first.
The plans practicability and
efficiency have been effectively
demonstrated in II European
countries. Advocates of the
plan in presenting their case to
congress explained that the fol-
lowing beneficial results would
be achieved by the system
"A great saving ofilluminants;
such as oil, gas and electric
power; marked conservation of
coal; increased manufacturing
production as a result of i'm
provement in working con
ditions; general benefits to the
national health because of an
additional hour of daylight
which may be devoted to recre-
alton; reduction in cost of living
to some who can raise garden
truck for domestic consumption,
and improvement of the training
conditions of the fighting forces.

bed earlier-and get up earlier
or you will be called a time

ELECTION OF SHERIFF
Proposition Submitted That
There Be No New Sheriff
Elected Until War Closes.

A proposal has been submitted
to the national and the various
State Councils of Defense, and is
being considered by them, to
order that no elections for sheriff
be held anywhere in the country
this year and that the present
incumbents hold over until the
end of the war or at least an
other two years.
The reason given is necessity
of retaining them on the
the exemption boards. Under
organizations of the exemption
boards the sheriff is chairman
and is required to give a great
deal of his time to the exemption
and draft board work. La most
states the sheriffs may be candi-
dates for reelection, and in such
states defeats said to be staring
them in the face because of the
enemies they have made in the
faithful execution of their exemp-
ton board duties. In all counties
they have become familiar with
the work and to make change,
| il is maintained, would tend to
