soldiers were requisitioned to assist
the police in capturing certain al
legged enemy spies who were said
to be operating in this city. Good
citizens always have responded to
any call made by the police depart
ment in emergencies such as the re-
cent succession of assaults upon
women in the very heart of Wash
ington. In my long experience as
police reporter l was called upon
to record a number of thrilling cases
in which the police dragnet was en-
ployed, and generally effectively.
Crime on 'sThe Island,
In the civil war period the old canl
''swished' along on its way to the Po-
tomac, past a row of ancient. frame
buildings on Third street, between
Maine and Maryland avenues south
west. The structures were known by
the inelegant name of .'Chinch Row. -
and the original buildings are still
standing. These buildings, in common
with others in the same neighborhood,
were the resorts of disorderly men and
women. and many war time criminals
found refuge from the police in their
unhallowed precincts. The canal flow
ed close by these refugees OF sin and
South Washington was known at that
time as "the Island" 1t being sur

ever it became necessary for the OFF,

Red Tape and the Army.

Red Tape! 1t took but moment to
enlist man in the army, but 1t takes
an endless amount of red tape to get
him out. If Gen. Pershing needs to
keep a million and a quarter troops in
Europe for the present, let the re-
manning three-quarters of million be
sent here as speedily as possible. No
one expects them to be sent home as
rapidly as they were sent across, but
nothing but a shortage of ships should
be permitted to delay the process. In
governmental circles there IS entirely
too much alarm felt over the great
labor crisis" that is to be preCipitated
by the return OF soldiers from France
and from training camps in this coun-
try. There may be some working days
lost in the industrial change from a
war basis to a peace footing. but we
believe the country faces a labor
shortage rather than surplusage Be
fore the war there was a labor short
age. and for over four years the
streams OF immigration have been cut
off A shortage. of three million men
Is estimated in agriculture alone, and
agriculture will need to be pushed
with greatest vigor in order to feed
a starving world and replenish its eN-
hausted reserves. In all lines or
peaceful trade stocks are low, and the
cry is for more materials and more
workers. hundreds of thousands of
places are open for the men who gave
up their positions at the call of coun-
try. Employers are anxious to get
their men back. College students
whose education was interrupted by
the war, particularly poor boys work.
ing their way through college. should
be permitted to return at once and
take up their educational training.
The way to demobilize is to demobir-
ize. Employment bureaus such as
have been proposed by the Department
OF Labor with the cooperation of the
Council of National Defense, may be
necessary in every city and commu-
nifty to bring the worker and work to-
gether. but there will be work aplenty
for all who are able and willing to
work.-From Leslie's.

Hunting Spanish Spies.
Washington was given a mild
scare" early in 1898, while active
preparations were being made to en-
ter into the war with Spain. Re-
ports were current to the effect that
there were a number of spies here
who were communicating Official
secrets to the Spanish minister. who
was said to have located somewhere
in Canada, after being handed his
passports. The police department
co-operated with the United States
Secret Service and military authori-
ties in an effort to run down the
undesirables. The man-hunters were
