Suies Swarmed Around British.
When the never-to-be-forgotten
German push was at its height on the
Somme in 1918, and the British army
was being forced back in utmost con-
fusion, enemy spies in English uni
forms fairly swarmed among the
Britons.
I was on that front with the British
when they issued an order that any
soldier who could not Immediately be
identified should be shot forthwith.
Spies, and those suspected Of being
epies, were shot by the dozen.
Unfortunately more than one
Tommy Atkins, who had got separated
from his own unit. undoubtedly paid
for his bad luck with his life.
But war is that way, and the British
were in such desperate straits that
Commander in Chief Haig issued his
famous order Of the day containing
the historic phrase With our backs
to the wall"
cities the police were constantly on
the search for enemy agents who
were everywhere, in every sort of guise.
was told, for example, that the Brit
1sh actually had men employed in
the German admiralty and war offices
In Berlin.
Case Of Nurse Cavell.
One cannot pass on without men
ooning an execution against which the
whole world protested in horror at the
time and has never ceased to discuss
that Of Nurse Edith Cavell, the Eng
Gsh Red Cross worker shot by the Ger
mans in Belgium in 1915. The idea
seems to prevail that this was a spy
case, but espionage did not enter into
1t.
Miss Cavell was charged by the Ger
mans with assisting British, French
and Belgian soldiers to escape from
occupied Belgium She admitted the
accusation and faced q firing squad
with the words:
II am glad to die for my country"
Another famous international case
broke in the United States before
America entered the war, but here
again there was no charge of spying
Capt. Karl Boy-Ed, German naval
ettache at Washington. and his COL
league, Capt. Franz Won Papen, mill
tary attache, were recalled at the re-
quest Of the United States Govern
ment after sensational accusations Of
subversive activities were made against
them. American neutrality was in
yolved. among other things.
Secretary Of State Robert Lansing
announced: "On account of what this
Government considers improper ac-
tivities in military and naval matters,
we have requested the immediate re-
call Of Capt. Boy-Ed and Capt. Won
Papen."

NEW TAX BILLING
SYSTEM IS URGED
Modernization Of District
Procedure Recommended
by Committee.

Recommendation for modernization
OF the Districts tax billing system are
expected to be placed before the Com
missioners for action in the near future
by q special Tax Delinquency Commit
tee headed by Maj. Daniel J. Donovan,
auditor.
1t is proposed to establish a system
under which the tax payer could get
all his bills at one time and at one
place. instead Of having to 90 at various
times to different of1lces to find out
how much he owes to the District
government. Also, the proposed new
system would give District officials a
clear check on Just how much delin-
quent taxes are on the record against
al tax payers who are in arrears.
The system was suggested recently
by Rufus S. Lusk of the Washington
tax Payers Association, who was
named chairman Of subcommittee Of
the Tax Delinquency Committee and
assigned to study reorganization Of the
tax-billing machinery.
This subcommittee late yesterday
gave It's nnal approval TO the proposed
plan. and approval by the full COM
mittee is expected soon.
It Is estimated that the new ac-
counting machines needed to make the
plan effective would cost in the neigh
borhood of SAC, 900, but Lusk believes
a modern billing system would make 1t
possible to reduce the accounting staff
Of the assessor by nearly half. Tax
Assessor Fred D. Allen said he believed
a reduction would be possible. but he
doubts the cut would be as much as
half
The committee members believe the
cost Of the new machinery would be

to the District resulting from early

and from reduction in the staff of the
