LONDON, Sept. % G.N.S).-A
country without spy is virtually
a country without flag.
Military espionage Is as mucn
q part of a nations defense as IS
armor plate.
Achievement in spydom is un-
sung. and recognized only by a
small group acquainted with Its
country's espionage organization.
It is the law of the worlds most
silent profession that a spy re-
ceives neither support nor help
from his own government when he
is caught. He takes the conse-
ouences without benefit OF public
ity or hope of rescue. :,
Even in peace time, Russia and
Germany. as well as certain other
European countries, execute those
convicted of espionage.
A model 1887 secret agent Is
SUPERINTENDENT, resourcetul, with
iron nerves and an impertubable
front" an actor and an oppor-
tunist. He is a man Of culture
who speaks many languages, a
quiet person and one we'll ground
ed in chemistry, engineering and
balliSticS.
MUST BE RUTHLESS
The ideal secret agent, further.
more, is one who has no family,
no friends, no beloved except his
country. He must be ruthless;
ready to gain condolences and use
them for the good Of the service
and his country. His conscience
must be content with the knowl-
edge he is serving his country and
protecting the lives of millions Of
his countrymen for the next war.
Nor is there any money in the
business of espionage. Seldom do
the salaries of agents average
$4,000 a year. Sometimes, there
is a guaranteed insurance policy
for relatives.
Many a wife whose husband IS
in espionage work is unaware OF
his real occupation. To her he is
a Civil Service employee, an Army
or Naval officer or an ordinary
business man.
The majority Of spies are taken
from the military services and
trained. However, secret agents
frequently are members Of the
clergy. doctors, dentists, BARRIERS
or journalistS-profesiSonS which
breed condolences.
FISHERMEN VALUABLE
Fishermen often are used in
military intelligence work for
charting inlets and coveS which
might make logical sites for land.
ing forces. They also can more
easily enter waters where fortifi.
cations have been erected.
So far it is like a movie plot.
But it is usually unnecessary for
a secret agent to be bumped off"
by his or her comrades when
treachery is COMMUNICATION q very
simple reason. 1t is the general
technique of intelligence work that
no single agent is permitted to
know too much.
Lydia Stahl, famous modern
woman spy, recently was released
from prison for good behavior.
She was found guilty of extracting
secrets from officers of the French
navy and was sentenced to five
years imprisonment.
The next article will deal
with the method employed by the
spies of 1871

PATROL CHIEF ISSUES
WARNING AGAINST TWO
ON ONE MOTORCYCLE

Six deaths already this year
from motorcycle accidents in
which two riders on one cycle have
usually been involved, has brought
sharp warning from John p. Ar
noldy, chief of the Minnesota
Highway Partol, against the dead
ly practice of tandem bike rid
ing.
The patrol chief so frowns on
the practice that he announced he
is studying steps whereby it will
be made illegal for two persons to
ride on a single cycle unless one is
in a side car.
The death of a former New
Munich lady near Anoka and the
serious injury of three persons at
Dilworth over the Fourth Of July
holiday precipitatd Chief Arnoldy's
warning. In each of the accidents
two persons were riding on the
motorcycles involved.
