CLEVELAND, May s.-The most
significant thing about American
politics is the activity Of a new
group Of women composing two or

DUBLIN. May S.-Dublin is a city
of spies. The hotels are filled with
them. They haunt the streets and
hang about the business houses,
newspaper Offices and government
bureaus. The people speak in whis-

see who is listening before commu-

These spies are both British and
Sim Feiners. but the Sim Feiners
are more numerous and more clever.
The British spies are rather obvious.
A Sim Feiner may be anyone. A
famous British officer serving in Ire
land told me yesterday he consid-
cred the Sim Fein intelligence serv-
ice the best organized and most
efficient in the world.
Servants Are Spies.
Every hotel servant is a spy. The
