TWRIDAY, JULY, 9, 1920. ---------------- How Spies | Are Detected # OALLLLLLLLL ALLALLS PPPTIOVIPOVVIVIIITIIVIITY RITAIN'S methods af dealing with the German spy menace at the outbreak of the war are being described by the London Post. Briefly speaking, the | plan was to watch the aug and. not question Jdntern him. So long as the spies thought they were not suspected they were kept at work and the British Government was apprised of " all their activities. Had they been fmmediately arrested their places would have been-taken by other and unknown spies. The United States Government had more potential 'German spies 'within its borders * when the war broke out and alter ' the United States entered the war than all the other combatants com- bined. The task of dealing with them was tremendous, but it was very successfully handled, partly by \ Government agents and partly by volunteer detectives, whose patriot- © fem led them to the task. Much . ' credit, too, must be given to the Brit- ¢ ish and French detectives who went to the United States to guard the | plants that were making munitions | in the days of American neutrality. | By the time the United States step- | ped into The conflict the Government | organisation was remarkably effec. tive. Some illustrations of the methods | employed are given in the New York | Tribune by Fred. C. Kelly. He men- | tions a case in which it was discov- | ered that secrets concerning airplane manufacture were leaking out. One of twelve men was the traitor; the question was to locate him. It was that each of these men * be emtrusted with some sup~ posed secret about the planes. No two of the stories were allke. One of the stories leaked out. The other eleven did not. It was a plain in- ference who was the spy. Somewhat similar was the scheme whereby the country was rid of the numerous German agents masquerading in the uniform of American naval officers. To step and interrogate every man in uniform was manifestly impossible, So secret instructions were given to every naval officer that on a certain day he would make some slight and inconspicuous change in his dress. Every officer did so. The uniformed Germans having no information of the change appeared as usual and Mr. Kelly says that every one of them was arrested. Another method was used upon a was learn- an order in a for dies to be used in the manufacture of rifles. Investigation showed that the rifies were of the Mauser type. Chief De Woody, of the Cleveland bureau, concluded that this was a case in which Baumgartner would have to give evidence against himself. He selected half a dogen or more of Baumgartner"s friends whose patriot- ism was beyond doubt, and acting on erY | Por did not our King himself grad- ve i of At this time Frits larly conscious of time say you on was fi gif se ah to German sympathisers in M He was interned. : s F He fff 78 if i § F z E s § I age remarkably well. .

The recent award of the King's Gold Medal for the best boy at King's Lynn Grammar School -- which was gained by Mr. W. W. Grave, by the | way--has drawn attention to the | splendid mannér in which King | Geprge has always since his acces- | sign encouraged education in this way, and to the famods schools he has thus favored. | The giving of the gold medal im 'to=the-King's-ELyan-achookr was begun by the late King Edward VII, whose son and successor has worthily kept up the custom. The | lucky boy will attend later at Sand- ringham during the King's visit | there, and be presented with the medal by the King himself. Another well-known school simi- | larly honored ig the Newport Gram- | mar School, Isfe of Wight, to which | King George annually presents a val- | uable prize for the best boy, the | | struggle for which is naturally very keen each year. That our present monarch takes | the deepest interest in emcouraging | budding talent and character in this | way is shown by the fact that he gives annually a scholarship of £30 | a year to Dover College, of which he | is the patron, so that the leading boy | from that noted school may have help | towards his university course at Ox- | ford or Cambridge. f This scholarship is not given for proficiency in any particular subject or examination, but for general suce cess and good work, as well as high character, during the recipient's whole school career. | To Rugby School his Majesty pre- | seats each year what is known as the | "King's Medal" for the writer of the best historical essay. There is much | competition for this distinguished | honor, though the prize is seldom pre- | sénted to the lucky winner by the | King in person. To. the ancient foun- | dation of Westminster School, as | well as to Eton College, the reigning | sovereign, like his predecessors for many centuries back, has always | shown special favor, since several of | the customs, prizes, and honors there have to do with royalty"s presence and generosity in a particular sort of way. The Latin play at the former' aad the "Glorious Fourth' at the lat- | ter school are cases in point. | Wellington College can boast of a "King's Gold Medal," given annually | by . our monarch for competition amongst its pupils. The King here again exercises great good sense, ask- ing the Head to select each time not | only a prominent scholar and hard- | worker, but a boy whose character | stands prominently forward as being well worthy of the school and its splendid traditions. As a soldier and sailor himself; of no mean experience | and knowledge, his Majesty has a very warm corner in his heart for the sons of the services, Probably it is this feeling too, which has induced King George to offer a specially beautiful medal as a reward to the most successful cadet in the Naval College at Dartmouth, In this respect he is following his father, King Edward VII, who took a deep interest in this college. But one may be sure that the 390 cadets at Dartmouth are all eager to win the honor appropriately bestowed by such a fine specimen of themselves. uate from the famous old "Britan- nia," which now serves for part of their naval training? Taxes Force Duke to Sell Land. Britain's war taxes continue to foree many of 'her nobility to sell parts of their great estates. One of the greatest of these, which recently bas passed under the auctioneers bammey, is that of the Duke of Rut- land, which is known as Belvoir. The duke owns about 50,000 acres, of which he is selling about 13,000 acres, located in the best part of they Lincolnshire hunting district. He ex- plained at a public meeting that the sale was made necessary by the in- creasing burden of taxation resulting from the war. . Goadby Hall, ane of the duke's pro- perties, of 230 acres, was sold pri- vately in advance of the public sale, and 100 tenants have bought from the duke the farms he had rented to theta. 4 Earl Manver's estate, known as Holme Pierrepont, at Radcliffe-on- Trent, has been sold at auction for $233,426. It cover 320 acres. It is reported that part of the estate of the Earl of Londesborough, Rainclife Woods and has been bought by be 4 * Will Thorne.

Fe First year students in the summer school will doubtless be glad of some The following directions are for the benefit of visitors: 1. How to reach the penitentiary: (a) Procure an infernal machine. (b) Ship it to any person who made insinuations about the peniten- tlary on hearing that you were com- ing to Kingston. (¢) Get hold of the worst lawyer you can to defend you; otherwise the jury will acquit you on a verdict of justifiable homicide, and you will never reach the penitentiary at all. Note 1. If you have difficulty in securing an infernal machine, you may find one while crossing some street, notably Barrie. Any machine that comes "along with:a ferocious bark and , a cyclonic whoosh and makes you cklp out of its road like a young fawn sis an infernal one, to put it mildly. The more trivial offences are pun- ished by fines or a short term in the city jail. This structure, with the court house, is a beautiful specimen of architecture and well worth see- ing. 2. How to reach the court house and jail: (a) Pay in advance all your fees, board and lodging bills for the term. (b) Kill a professor. (c) If he is not missed inside of three days, kill another. (d) If no notice is yet taken of your efforts read 2 Thessalonians, I1I, 13, and keep on. The authorities will finally notice that professors are becoming scarcer, and you will find yourself. in the court house. From there you pass to the jail as a matter of course, For, A LITLE BIT OF IRELAND FLOATING OFF JERSEY OOAST-- LIPTON ITS RULER Sir Thomas' "Navy" Is Six Craft Strong--The Irish Baronet Has His Daily Schedule, New York, July 8.--There's a lit- tle bit of Ireland floating off the Jer- sey coast and its ruler is a familiar figure in yaghting flannels and cap. its Sir Thomas Lipton and his 'navy' --glx craft strong--invading the United States to capture the Ameri- ca's Cup in a yachtemen's battle off . The man to whom a large patoh of water is an alien sight thinks of the cup races as a few impromptu jousts between a couple ef sailing sloops which cost a mite more than the ave- rage man can afford. He does not realize that these yachts and their crews have to go through a period of training as long as that of any football team and a thousand times § (e) Ten dollars or thirty days Is the regular sentence for this kind of misdemeanor; and if you have con- scientiously followed the directions in (a). you will just naturally take the thirty days. Note I. How to kill a professor, No safe and certain method has yet been invented. In ggneral,. you must trust to your owh ingenuity, Many persons can produce syncope in a professor, with possibily fatal re- sults, merely by handing in an exer- cise free from errors or sharp on time. On the other hand, it has some- times been found very effective to repeat the same mistake seventeen times in seventeen successive exer- cises; but this is rather dangerous. If attempted, 'the same precautions should be obsf§rved as in using high explosive, Note II. We have given this met- hod of reaching the court house, since some people consider it the easiest and pleasantest way. Person- ally, we do not approve of it. We be- lieve that professors are closely akin to human beings and have a right to live. Still, we will not be so inteler- ant as to force our own opinion apon those who cannot see as we do. 3. How to reach the General Hos- pital. (a) Get a yard of white cotton or linen goods eighteen inches wide. (b) Dye it green. (c) Using bright yellow silk, em- broider upon it a large and artistic harp. (d) Next Monday, drape it loosely over your hat, balance a 'chip on your right shoulder, slope your classes, and wander about the principal streets, in any direction you please. You will shortly find yourself at the hospital. more costly. . By purchase or charter Sir Thomas has amassed his fleet, In addition to the challenger, Shamrock IV., and the trial horse, the 23-meter Sham- rock there is the steam Victoria, the flagship of the fleet, on which the ve- teran yachtsman lives, anchored each night in the Hudson. Then there is the houseboat Kil- larney, tucked. snugly away in the shelter of the Hook.

Each day, as dusk approaches, he holds conference with his band of yatching experts, suggesting little changes here, little changes there, smoothing out a ripple An a club- topsail which to the land-lubber fits exactly or clipping a few inches from a topmast with which, to the unitiat- ed, there seems nothing wrong. And each day he continues to deal out dollars to the 150 members of his armada. For it is an expensive sport. this quest of a hundred gui- nea cup and victor or loser, Sir Tho- mas will have paid out more than a million dollars for this year's races alone. At eight o'clock, except in most distressing weather, raising of Sir Thomas' personal flag--a green sham rock on a field of: gold--betokens that the vice-commodore of the Roy- al Ulster Yacht Club is aboard, awake and ready to receive guests. These invariably include a corps of newspapermen. Most of them come for breakfast, stay for lunch and lin- ger for dinner, and as sea air breeds an appetite, the yacht's larder recei- ves a blow which would make the or- dinary housewife quiver in these days of high prices. Then the Victoria weighs anchor. Recognized by all harbor craft, she receives salutes from sootiest tug to most majestic battleship. Sir Thomas stands on the bridge-- the familiar, blue-jacketed, beflan- nelled figure who for year has cross- ed the Atlantic to win the trophy on which he has set his heart. He strokes his gray goatee and his face wrinkles into a roguish grin as he swaps yarn for yarn with' his innu- merable guests. ; or Sir Thomas must have his oke. . One of which he is particularly fond concerns a visit once paid him at Cowles by former Mayor John Fitagerald, of Boston. The baronet was entertaining a group of Americans when suddenly it was reported to him that! the royal launch was headed for his craft. "The King or the Queen," cried Sir Thomas and at once began drill- ing his guests in court etiguette. But the royal launch, which rarely carries any but royalty, arrived with a lone Jankee. It seems that Mr, Fitzgerald, wish- ing to pay a visit to his friend the Irish yatchsman, had been unable to find a craft which he deemed suffi- ciently ratty to bring him alongside. But finding the royal launch at the royal landing stage, he pronounced it "a decent enought boat" and or- dered it to the Lipton yacht. Meanwhile the King and Queen, reaching the stage, beheld in amaze- ment their launch. dashing away from them. And the master of the small craft, on his return, had this explanation to make--the géntleman had introduced himself as 'the May- or of Boston, United States of Ame- rica," which the royal yatchsman, impressed, compressed into "the Ma- yor of America." And of courses a man who would dare march onto the royal landing stage must have step- ped onto it with royal permission. And so, chatting of kings and stow- aways, yachts and intrigues, he en- tertains his guests uatil the Hook is reached. And as Sir Thomas is never 80 well cast as when he is playing the host, it is an enjoyable trip, this little joy-ride down the bay to th serious work of the day. The racing sloops, lying at anchor with mainsails and club topsails set, awaiting arrival of their master, look as alike as two peas to the landsman. simile is carried Lightning Struck House. Charleston, July §.--During the storm on Wednesday evening light- ning struck T. Kelsey's house tearing cff a few clapbeards. R. A: Mont- gomery, Lambertville, N.J., and W.

A number attended the Anglican social at Oak Leaf on Tuesday evening, and also the one at Athens on Saturday even- ing. Mr. and Mrs. M. J. Kavanagh played for a party at Portland- on Friday night. R. Burch was through here last week repairing the tele- phone lines. Mrs. W. Crozier, sr. seems to be improving under the treatment of Dr. Moore. A number from here went to Brockville on Dc- minion day. Some of the farmers have cut alfalfa and clover but 'the weather is rather wet just now for haying. The recent rains have been very beneficial to all grain crops, planting 'and gardens. Charged With Abduction. Belleville, July 9.--John H. Dean was brought back to this city from Gananoque where he was arrested on a warrant charging him with abdue- tion. It is alleged that Dean abduct- ed Viola Lawrence, Cannifton, and took her away. The accused is about twenty-four years of age and has a wife. As the crown was not prepared to proceed in the case, Dean was re- manded to jail until July 14th. SCOTT'S GARAGE Repairs, Washing and Storage.
