BY FREDERIC J. HAsKIN.

Men for this work are generally
introduced into the enemy's lines by
airplane. A squadron Of planes sets
out by night As soon as the enemy is
aroused, and hostile planes come up
to give battle, one plane slips quietly
away. Besides the pilot, il carries the
spy. Flying high in the darkness,
presently the engine is cut off, and
the plane glides silently down to
some lonely landing place, selected
in daylight scouting operations. Here
the spy alights, and. after giving him
time TO disappear, the aviator takes
the air again as rapidly as may be. to
escape before the roar Of the engine
betrays him.
II He Succeeds.
The spy, II he is discovered that IS
the end Of him. He is, Of course,
man fitted by the circumstances OF
his life for his task. He speaks the
language of the enemy, probably
knows the countryside intimately. He
is supplied with whatever captured or
forced papers and evidence his su
periors are able to supply. He may
pass for a peasant, or even for a SOL
der Of the enemy. For a fixed num-
Der Of days he will remain with the
hostile lines, seeking for whatever in
formation has been assigned to him
At given place and hour, he has a
rendezvous withian aviator Of his ON n
army. Again an airplafie will glide
down silently through the darkness,
and if the spy has been lucky. he is
there to scramble aboard and be
carried back to his own lines. If he
does not appear, the aviator returns

undertaken in an attempt to meet the

Touch of PathOE.
The touch Of pathOs is added to the
spy's life and death by the secrecy
which surround IT. One Of the great
driving impulses in every human
breast is the natural desire for recog-
milton, for appreciation OF service rem
dered and reward for danger defied.
The spy must forego all this. ANY
recognition Of his success would des-
troy his future usefulness
In view OF such considerations, Il
seems as though a certain amount of
the contempt felt for the spy may be
unmerited- Every nation at war makes
use Of them. American spies may
save thousands of American lives byl

derlie the whole fabric OF modern
war, and furnish one Of its most

The great war is undershot by an

IL bursts into view. Such a climax
was the detention and search Of the

This incident was only the culmin-

OF spying and counter spying, and In
won the trick.
All Nations Have Spies.
Every warning nation must perforce
maintain a spy system. The position
of the SPY is unique. His is often the
most perilous and thankless task Of
all. He carries his life in his hand
from days end to days end, playing
his game alone under a heavy handi-
cap against the best brains that the
enemy can muster to confound and
undo him. Men and women who
worm their way into the confidence
Of an unsuspecting and friendly pe0-
pie, who trade on the hospitality OF an
alien land to undo their hosts and
betray them, will infallibly be re-
garded with scorn and hatred. Even
more bitterly hated Is the spy, not
uncommon in Europe, who is not a
disguised enemy but q bought and
bribed native. For the pettier forms
OF spying such persons are often
available.
Spies Work Everywhere.
The spies work everywhere. Neutral
Europe Is fun OF them, and on both

game is that which is played at the

depots and concealed batteries, is

Now the narrowing news comes
from Amsterdam that Premier Lenine
of Russia has threatened to break Dip
lomatic relations with the allies if
they do not Immediately withdraw
the troops sent to the Murman coast
to protect the northern port of Russia.
The allied troops are there at the re-
quest Of the citizens of that country
to defend them against the threaten
ed invasion of the Germans and Fins.
Why does Lenine not threaten to
break diplomatic relations with Ger
many if she does not withdraw her
troops? After completely surrender
ing his country, SO far as it was in
his power to do 80, to Germany, does
Lenine think for a minute that the
allies value diplomatic relations with
him and his bunch Of traitors? When
the ALI es again recognize diplomatic
relations with Russia it will be with
the enemies Of Lenine and his boil
sheviki bunch.

The German socialists are very
anxious for a world conference of
socialists to consider terms of peace,
but in all Of their arguments the
claws of the wolf show through the
coat Of wool. In a recent article
the Berlin Voerwarts, the leading
organ of the Majority Socialists of
Germany, says:
The goal, which is peace, remains
for US the main thing, and we aban-
don no means whatever of bringing
about peace-except those means
which would permit the war To end
in defeat for our people.
This is like the Leace when the
lamb and the lion shall lie down to-
gether. The lion is perfectly will
ling, provided the lamb is inside Of
the lion. The German socialists want
this kind of peace, with Germany
acting the role of the lion. Fortu-
nately, through the efforts of the
American Labor Delegates who re-
Gently visited England, the scheme
for such a conference was frustrated.
