understood on this point first as last.
Wound Censor Reports.
One of the reasons why no writ

is that doing so would prevent my
editing the reports and whipping
them 10 such shape that they will
be presentable ari up to our gen.
eral standard of work. In any event,

that this is thoroughly understood
and that you will Immediately dis

after.
The second reason is that the
client wants to hear from you daily
by telephone and not by mail, so
that he can tell you of any matters
he is particularly interested in and
wants you to secure information for
him without delay.
Your handwriting in your report
and letter are ain very difficult
to read. Please give me correctly
the name of the people with whom
you are going to board. IS it Stearns
or Starms or what? We cannot
make it out here.
Now, it ) all right to associate
with the er ...oyes of the clients who
board at the same place for what
incidental information you may Sc
cure from them and what influence
you may be able to exert over them
to get them to return to work
promptly. However, they are not
in a position to give you much of
value as they, themselves, will not
know anything of Importance. / re-

ELIZABETHTON, Tenn, CIR
A).-Union-wrecking activities of
the Corporations Auxiliary Co., la
Dor spy specialists, are revealed in
confidential letters intercepted be-
tween the headquarters in New York
City and its under-cover operatives
in the rayon regions of Tennessee.
This concern was employed by
either the Glanztoff or the Benz
berg company during the recent
strike.
Corporations Auxiliary has been
in the under-cover business for about
30 years and has never had less
than 1000 spies on its operative
list. 1t uses the name International
Auxiliary Company in New York
state and Corporations Auxiliary in
other states. In New York it en-
ploys its spies at an office which
also uses the name Eastern Engi-
neering Co. at IL West Goth st.
Fights Many Strikers.
It's operations in Tennessee are
in line with its policy in recent
years, of handling more business for
textile companies. 1t claims to have
had some of the largest textile
firms among its clients.
The two letters, showing the char
acter of the Tennessee operation,
came into the hands of union or
ganizers. They show the spy at
work but apparently not producing
all the results required by the main
office.
The spy has a code number,
Q-511, while the manager at the
main office uses the regulation Cor
porations Auxiliary code letters
us, together with his personal
code number BIR-5.
The spy is expected to send
daily report to g main office. This
report is then taken and rewritten
or combined with reports from other
spies, and then sent to the CLAM
toff or Bemberg company. This spy
has, as the letter shows, violated
the instructions of the agency ed
has been sending reports directly to
the client. He is beir called down
sharply by the agency manager. 1t
is also clear that he is not too
speedy with his reports. The agency
orders him to step along bit faster.
Tries to Save Letters.
The agency, as usual, watches ex-
pense accounts closely. In this case
it feels that the operative is blow
ing in too much money on hotels
without producing results. They
call him on this.
They also question the accuracy
of some of his reports and order him
to check up on certain addresses
and names and to write more clearly.
The spy has an idea that he can
get around and do his dirty work
among the strikers and their fam
lilies easily if he turns washing ma
chine statesmen. But the cor 2any
doesn't take to this idea and asks
how he can hope to get very far
with the washing machine stall

is the precaution the agency takes
to get back it's instruction letters

this case the letters did fall out,

Cruisers. the cruX of recent Brit . l&l-American naval negotiations. are limited to 10000 tons and S-mch guns supplemented by anti-aircratt batteries. They are protected by moderately heavy side armor, but their main defense is d speed of Ip to 35 knots. They have enough space for stores and fuel to allow them to steam great distances.
 Cruisers can chase and fight any thing except capital ships and are special menace to deStroyers. in fleet battles they are the most i'm portant factor in preliminary en- agreements between light forces.
 This type of ship can most ef- teclively screen the main body dur ing q fleet movement and obtain information of enemy movements.
 England has 52 first-linc cruis- CTS in service and America has To-, with respective tonna9es of 313.000 and 1h,500. The United States also has 13 0,000-tonners under con- stluction and 10 more authorjzaI. Britain has 10 being built or author izcd. including the Surrey and Northumberland. construction of which has been postponed. Even # they are all built the British tonnage Will still considerably outweigh the American.
 The 10 firA-linr |. $. cruisers now operating cost about $1Q.uUp.- 900 apiece. The eight soon to he completed, authorized in 1926. prob ably will cost between $l2.0uU. .U0u and Sl3.0U0, ,000. As for those proyid cd for in inc 1J-cruisor bin, five of which arc in initial process of con- structlon, the cost limit was set ;sl $l7,G00. 900 each.
 Our existing l0 first line cruisers cost about $l,OOQ.00O q year 10 op- crate and carry q personnel Of near ly 800. But these are all 750V-to9 ships, armed with G-inch guns.
