The call from the government for binoculars, spyglasses or telescopes "should be productive of results in Winnetka. The essential character of the need makes it impossible that anyone should enjey the possession of such articles when there is the conviction that the giving or lending of them to the government might, even by a remote possibility, be the means of gaving from destruction a vessel of the United States navy and the saving of the lives of many men. i The civilian is not likely to find glasses of high power necessary to his life at home, nor even essential to his happiness. The possession of 2 pair kept for "his own use when 'there is need for alt that the country can produce for - the safety of the 'men' and ships: of the navy, should 'contribute to his wnhappiness through an uneasy conscience. The prompt turning in of glasses to the depart- 'ment of the navy will show that spirit of co-operafion and standing- by which is so essential to the con- fidence of the men of the fighting forces in the support of the great people of the United States which sends them into action with assur- ance that everything which can be done to ensure their safety has been done, or 'will be done at the very earliest possible moment. "Nothing contributes more to the morale of the troops than the assur- 'arice of the appreciation and helpful- "ness of the people "back home." ! Nothing is so sure to undermine their courage and willingness to sacrifice 'as'a suspicion that there is a dispo- sition to let them take all the burden The American people service overseas without that confi- dence in their whole-hearted support which is needful to make them go into the hard service of the field with 'a high courage and a strong heart. i * RRR 7 Woman Spies. There is no reasonable room for doubt that the country is full of spies aiid mischiel-makink agents, working "under the German government. It is one of the facts of 'war which we must acknowledge, toward which we must turn our effort¥ito remove it from the many dangers which men- Secret service agents are busy everywhere and plots are being . uncovered in many instances, some- times ' before any. mischief is done, " oftener after there has: been a suc- cessful issue of a part of the plan. Only one way to meet the problem of dealing with the spy is recog- nized, prompt trial and immediate execution of sentence if guilt is es- tablished. In the case of man agents of Germany, an American jury or court-martial may be counted upon to do its duty without question, but the attitude toward woman criminals puts a dif- of American juries ferent light upon the handling of the woman spy. It would scarcely be safe to allow men of the type who | "Not Tpan?? the guilty" | verdict, even when a woman has con- | habitually return fessed to having committed murder, | to hold in their hands the punish-]| | We must es- | tablish a precedent of rigorous treat- | ment of a woman spy. ment of the first woman traitor or spy who is brought up for justice convicted of conspiring or operating against the safety of the nation in order to establish a new era in the handling of criminal cases in which the defendant is a woman.
