 Once we uncovered an interest ing spy in well known hotel in Amiens, which was not far from Albert. This man was ostensibly ] Frenchman-a distinguished ap- bearing, courteous gentleman of middle age. He had lived for months at the top of the hotel, and had a speaking acquaintance with everybody
 When finally it became necessar? for civilians to evacuate Amiens, he slipped away. The hotel servants then discovered a powerful wireless set in his room. We handed the information to the military au- thorities and the man was traced to Paris. He sent no more wire l less messages.
 The most striking spy work I en- | countered was in Belgium. The
 brave little Belgian army, cooped 1 up in tiny bit of Belgian territory , left unoccupied, had squad of
 men who went regularly through
 the fighting lines and made their
 way to Brussels-the heart Of the
 enemy territory. They actually had to pass through the "impas- sable" German lines before they
 won their way into the open coun- try.
 What tremendous courage those |chaps had! Naturally, many of them were caught and shot. But lthere were always others to take
 their places.

 "When children enter scnool they should be taught the funda mentals of music instead of sim ply singing patriotic songs for ter minutes in the morning.

New York City.-Many :. len who have good voices, know mu- ic and might have earned a roftable living as singers, are ,orking as stenographers and cokkeepers simply because they ere never given the opportun- " to learn the technical prin- iples of singing.

Labor liens on certain equipment under chattel mortgages are not paramount, according to decision just handed down by the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in a case originating 1t Ketchikan, and which has just been received by Representative A.

 This went into receivership and

THE FOXES OF WAR By DE WITT MACKENZIE

By DE WITT MAChENAlh (Copyright, 1929, Associated Press)
 "A man was shot in the Tower of London this morning"
 Every once in a while during the world war this official notice would be handed to the British press. Nothing more. But the public finally came to realize these mys- terious, chilling statements as an- nouncements of the executions of spies.
 Spies-the foxes which gnawed at the vitals of all countries in- volved in the war. Spies-the bane of govern $ and the scourge of commanders along the battle lines.
 Both men and women-thousands of the latter, were engaged in , this secret, hazardous occupation, and if their history could be writ ten in detail it would form one of the most amazing chronicles of the world conflict It would provide 4n almost irreconciliable mixture of bravery and cowardice, of unself- ishness and cupidity, of love and hatred, but whatever the motive which inspired this work there was one immutable fact that applied . to all spies-they were playing with death.
 { Both sides employed hosts oi Spies. I learned that England even had spies working in govern nnent offices in Berlin. I doubt not that the Germans had simi. far arrangements in allied capitals Certainly the allied countries were filled with spies, and in the wal zones they were everywhere. knew of many being shot along th' ' front in France while I was at tached to British general head quarters as war correspondent.

Criticism of professional educators
for failure to make more use Of radio
was voiced by James @. Mcdonald,
chairman of the Foreign Policy Assocl-

"A generation ago" he said, "the

CANTON, China, May % (P).-An
official statement today said Kwangtung
Province troops fighting north Of Can

casualties were admitted, but the claim
was made the KwangSiites also had suf-
fered heavy losses.
The fighting in this area continued

near the Pei Kiang. with about $4,000
troops engaged on either side.
The statement said reinforcements
from the central government at Nam
king were en- route and expected hourly.
It was understood, however, these REIN
forcements were Kwangsi units which
partook in the defense of Hankow
against Chang Kai-Shek, later betray-
ing them to him. Their loyalty to
Kwangtung therefore would be dubious.
The general atmosphere here was
slightly more optimistic than yesterday,
although there was little to indicate
other than eventual defeat for the citys
defenders.
1t was reported here the "dollar
diplomacy of the Kwangsiites had eff
fected detection OF the YunnaneSe Gen
Fan Shek Sang, reputed ally Of Kwang-
tung for years. He was said to be tax
ing his forces to Wuchow, on the
