GUARD AGAINST HUN SPIES.
Extraordinary Precautions Taken by
American Army in France.
(RY Associated Presal


With the American Army in
France, March 21-Spies who may
endeavor to get into the ranks Of the
American. expeditionary forces are
likely to find such a maneuver ex-
complete are arrangements to pre-
vent such things happening OF
course it is not advisable to disclose
just what the arrangements are but
every ruse tried by enemy agents
during this war in various armies,
and some that have not been tried,
have been provided for.
1t came to light recently that or
ders had been issued in certain
quarters to the /. general effect that
officers receiving drafts into combat
divisions from replacement divisions
were to make sure that each mem
Der of the draft actually was the
man he was supposed to be and that
no other man was included in the
group. Just what caused this order
is not disclosed, but 1t contains an
inference that is obvious.
The order was issued just a few
days before one Of our telephone
wires had been found tapped in a
trench, the tap wire running out
across mo mans land" There was
some talk at that time among the
men in the line of hunting for q
spy; but there has been no further
development II Is not impossible
however, that German patrol TAX
ing advantage Of the opportune mo
ment hooked their tap wire on thu
line in our trench and then retired
lquickly.

leaves the liberal allowance of
3.4l2a feet for the demands OF
gravity and air resistance.
Gravity will absorb 1900 feet OF
this allowance, and if air resistance
does not absorb more than 1850
feet, the projectile can reach its
destination.
May Use Larger Gun.
If it requires a greater allowance,
then the s u inch tube must be
placed in a larger cannon than the
15h gun, upon the basis OF which
we have been calculating, such as
one of the 1888 inch guns or per-
haps one still larger.
In the present state of secrecy nat
urally enveloping the new German
gun these deductions cannot be
proved, but that the problem as
problem can be solved without any
recourse to monstrous dimensions is
certain. Undoubtedly it was in such
manner that Krupp went to work.
Concerning the destructive power
of this guns one meter long projec-
tile, experts believe the projectile
probably would pass from the roof
of high building to its cellar,
blowing out its walls and destroying
gas. sewer. and water pipes and
electric wires in the streets.

Passes Necessary
to Gain Entrance
to Aviation Fields

Dallas, Tex. April EN- view of
the belief that German spies are &C
tive throughout the United States
stricter rules regulating access to
army aviation Ca nps in Texas nave
been promulgated and visitors to the
fields now find it difficult to gain
admittance.
With the coming of the aviation
schools to Texas there developed the
usual crowd of curious who. not con-
tent to witness the flights from their
back Yards, made visits to the fields
and invaded, when possible. Off
GERS quarters, hangers, flying fields.
and in fact every place that they
thought they might see something
new. 1t was with great difficulty
that machines were able to rise and
land safely and commanders began
to grow more strict.
Finally all without passes were
ruled off the fields. Then they
blocked the byways leading to the
camps and when ayiators were
forced to descend and repair trucks
we're started to the assistance Of the
disabled machines in double quick
time, it was with great difficulty
that they made their way through
the jam of automobiles and farm
wagons.
Under the new rules every person
must have a pass to get beyond the
entrances Of the camps. Officers. en-
listed men and cadets have the priv
ilege of asking for passes for their
friends but they are only granted by
headquarters when the prospective
host is to be off duty. Officers. en-
listed men or cadets seeking passes
are responsible for the visitors while
they are in the camps and the name
of each visitor must appear on his or
her pass.
Visitors never are allowed within
the hangers, neither are they per-
mitted to enter the machine shops
at the fields. Every person passing
the the guard is asked if he or she
carries a camera and if the guard
has any doubt the visitor is search

Recently visitor to Love Field
here made several pictures of air
planes in the air The amateur pho
tographer was seated in an automo-
bile outside the flying field but a
sentry observed him and a few min
utes later an officer asked the Wis
itor for the camera. 1t was promptly
turned over and few days later il
was returned to the owner-minus

attempt to take any more pictures
of flyers.
Another nuisance around aviation

discovered that when the opportuni-
| ty presented he removed from air
planes anything that was loose and
which could conveniently be carried
| away. Aside from the monetary loss
the practice was dangerous to the
| aviators for it was possible that
some parts essential to the safety OF
the flyers might be stolen and not
missed until the machine was thou
sands of feet in the air.
