A friend Of mine who returned from

he had personal knowledge, to show
the extent Of the German spy net. An
acquaintance In Berlin obtained per.

It is not easy to get such permission
nowadays. Although an American, he
was forced to tell just whom he wished
to see in Holland and why. While in
Amsterdam he received hurry call to
London from his correspondent there
and took the next boat, getting a wise

legation in The Hague.

A man-o'-warsman on q visit to his

Of the readiness and resource of naval

care to knock at every door until he
came to the right one.
A rag-and-bone man with a bugle

planned.
Then he blew the grog call Of the

window was hastily flung up and a
sailors head was thrust out.
"Ah." said Jack. as he handed back

LARGE INCREASE in CRIME.

"Crimes against property have In
creased steadily since the United
States entered the war, and the rea-
son may be found directly in the eco
nOmic conditions which have been
brought about by the war. Crimes Of
violence, except robbery, have tended
to decrease. but the decrease is to be
attributed not so much to gangs and
the Imprisonment Of the gangsters who
formerly afflicted New York city,"
Like Commissioner Woods, District
Attorney Swami holds that the causes
of increased crime are economic, due
to the war.
1.-THE explanation" he says. sis in
the increased value Of property. Silks.
