Paris.-American T r-spaper CORE
s~pondents abroad 1Ehow permitted
to relate some of the troubles the
Americans experienced with the great
German spy system.
No army in the world war had a
harder fight against the smooth-work-
ing, far-reaching Teuton espionage sys-
TEN than did General Pershing's war
riors. The Germans concentrated a
large number of spies against the
Americans Immediately after the first
Yankee contingents landed In France
and kept augmenting their numbers.
The American army was made the OBJ
ject of the spy offensive because the
Germans recognized that, if the war
continued until the summer of 1918
and then Tapped over into 1919 1t was
the American army that would figure
largely in allied operations. They
wanted to find out what kind of an
army Pershing had, what the morale
of the individual soldiers was, what the
stats were planning and what DISPOSE
ton vas being made of American
troops behind the western battle front.
Hard to Keep Secrets.
In spite of all precautions and in
spite Of contre-espionage forces, Ger
man agents undoubtedly collected a
large amount of valuable information
behind the American lines to supple
ment other odds and ends they had
picked up from American prisoners,
from the reports of their land and air
observers and from other sources.
officers tried hard to keep the Boche
from learning that n American unit
had been removed from the line and
supplemented by another. That was
information that the German intelli-
gence officers wanted for their 'order
of battle" maps, by which they kept
track Of the exact disposition of all
enemy troops in the line and reserve.

OF Hannah Dustin" of colonial and Indian fame. Another member said he is

Other members with N eye to thrift did not fail to advertise. One said his

ite hiding places for coins with pennies, and that is why he cannot find enough
to go round.
Of course the demand for pennies has grown greatly with the sappng Of
penny taxes IN 1oHypops and such, but even this additional drain upon the
penny supply should not, under ordinary circumstances, swallow up all Of the
pennies the government has made. Since it first began to coin money about
the time of the Revolutionary war, onetenth of all the coins made have been
cents. The total to date is more than $3O0OO0OOW. And yet, at last reports,
the government had in all of it's repositories only about $177OO0 in coppers.
Last year the minis turned out 3S0O00O0O pennies Then Ray just sat back
and smiled, thinking he would not be called upon to make any more pennies
Came then the new and insiTent demand for more coppers, with the result
that Ray took his complete force off all other work and started in grinding
out 100O0OO0 pennies a month.
He has even set the San Francisco mint at work making pennies. Phla-
delphia has hitherto coined all the copper money.

naturally cannot keep up with the de-

that people have taken the admonition

Boston, Sept. 16.-The outstanding
development today in the situation re
sulting from the police strike was the
declaration of the City'9 fremen that
come what might they would remain
at their posts of duty. The voting of
unions affiliated with the former po-
licemen on the question Of supporting
the latter continued quietly and
methodically and there was grave
doubt of the outcome.
Reinsurance was found in the fact
that the attitude of the firemen was
in harmony with the wishes of the
American Federation of Labor. The
decision was announced after q con
ference between President Daniel j.
