which are reported every day will continue. The work of spy is comparatively easy in America, where nearly everybody talks too much and we have not yet learned how to keep official secrets. It is also work that pays well, and a mere prison sentence isn't going to deter persons who, through sympathy for Germany or selfish motives, are try ing to embarrass the government and retard our war preparations.
 The possibility of facing a firing squad will make some of these gentry think twice, but of course, not all of them. However, the death penalty would unquestionably have a salutary effect. The American government has been most lenient in dealing with spies and conspirators whose crimes de- serve the severest punishment.

No wine of the rarest vintage has the fla vor of pink lemonade. No chef can equal the appeal to the palate of the freshly roasted peanut.
