Germany's Spies at Work.

1t is rot Surprising that agents of

causing explosions in munitions works.
with heavy losses. Before We went into
the war these forces were active in an
effort to cripple cur munitions work for
the allies, and it was to have been ex-
pected that they would be even more
enterprising and possibly more success

many
The alien enemy act swept away from
certain places where war work is in
progress large number of German sub
jeets. but the danger does not come ex-
clusivcly from those who owe allegiance
to the enemy. There are Americans
who will sell themselves to the foe, for
a consideration, or who are vindictive
in their attitude toward the government.
These are willing toels Of the enemy.
Eternal vigilance is required in every
direction. The enemy is fertile in de-
vices and desperately bent upon Grip
ping our war making plans. Every ship
that can be destroyed on the ways, every
shipyard that can be halted iii its ac-
tivity, every warehouse stored with sup
plies that can be burned, every munition
mill that can be wrecked is n gain. But,
OF course, these blows will mot halt the
American war program, or even ma
teriaily check it.
Detection Of the spies who are setting
fires and causing explosions is not easy.
It will require the most skillful work
to catch them in circumstances to make
convictions possible and executions jus
tifabie. When they are caught they
shoald be put TO death without mercy
and without delay, and publicly, to dem
enstfate that the United States is in
deadly earnest in its intention to carry
on the war to finish.
