THE MILITARY SPY
He Is an Important Factor tn the
Modern Game of War.
WATCHES FOREIGN NATIONS.
Learns Their Secret Plans and Reports
Them to Hii Own Country If Caught
He Is Repudiated by His Government
' and Suffers In Silence.
Once In awhile an army or navy offi
cer Is arrested for spying or attempt
ing to obtain military secrets from a
foreign government Practically every
government, including the United
States, has a law which makes this a
crime. Usually there Is more or less
secrecy about the officer's arrest and
trial. HLj government repudiates his
activity, and if he is sentenced to a
term of imprisonment he receives no
support or aid from his government
Although they will not officially ad
mit it, practically every government
has a secret service of army and navy
officers whose only duty is to travel
in foreign countries to gather informa
tion which might be useful in time of
war. Because of the shortage of of
ficers the United States has only en
gaged In this practice in' time of ac
tual hostilities.
Military espionage is, of course, a
delicate subject and it would be a
gross violation of international pro
priety for any government to admit
that it had secret agents spying on Its
neighbors. However, it is a well known
fact that this system exists.
In 1907 an American ambassador at
a foreign capital reported to the state
department tta t an army officer of the
country to which he was accredited
had been detailed to visit the American
countries secretly to ascertain the
strength of their forces. His mission
was thwarted, however, by the infor
mation furnished by the ambassador.
The military authorities of every
first class power are constantly pre
paring for war. Naturally they are
anxious to know what their neighbors
are accomplishing in military science.
Here develops the function of the mod
ern military spy. Fiction writers clothe
the spy with a veil of mystery and
a supernatural cleverness which en
ables him to get out of all dangerous
pitfalls Into which he falls. But the
real flesh and blood spy is a different
person. In these days of modern and
scientific warfare the spy has become
a technical expert who must be thor
oughly versed In every branch of his
art He must be tactful and above all
close mouthed.
The procedure in sending out a spy
is something like this: If the German
government wishes information which
It cannot get in the regular channels
of information some officer is sent for.
De Is summoned to the war office to
receive his instructions. In the case of
confidential work abroad he receives
oral orders, so that he will not hare
any documentary evidence on his per
son to disclose his identity la case he
pets Into trouble. Having received his
Instructions he starts out, sometimes
so secretly that even his family do not
know w.here he is going. Usually he
speaks the language of the country to
which he is bound. His real Identity
for the time being Is forgotten, and he
travels unier an assumed name. If
necessary he uses a disguise to cover
bis movements. If he is a good spy he
returns with the desired Information,
and no questions in regard to the
methods he employed are asked. If he
la captured while eugaged in his work
be Is punished for attempting to ob
tain the military secrets of a foreign
government and his own country lets
him severely alone.
The cipher code books by means of
which diplomatic correspondence is
carried on are often sought after by
these secret agents. Several years ago
the code book of the American lega
tion at Bucharest "disappeared." Its
Iocs was reported to Secretary of State
ElUra Root by telegraph. Mr. Root
sent for the chief clerk of the depart
meat
Olr. Smith," said the secretary, "the
coda book at Bucharest has been lost
I believe It Is about time for us to
.have a new code for our diplomatic
correspondence."
Some months later the missing book
was offered for sale to the Japanese
ambassador at St Petersburg, who
purchased it for a small sum and as
an act of comity turned it over to the
American ambassador there,
A young man several years ago ap
peared at the American embassy in
Berlin and offered to sell to the am
bassador a copy of the state depart
ment's code book which be said he had
In his possession. He left several
specimen pages to prove that his book
was genuine. A comparison with the
embassy's code book proved that he
had the real code, but where he had
obtained it was a mystery. The am
bassador knew that a new code was In
course of preparation and would
shortly be distributed by the depart
ment The offer was politely declined
on the ground that the embassy had a
!ode book of Its own and did not need
another. New York Sun.
The Height of Jmpudenee.
They called him Puny Pepper, be
cause he was, besides one of the small
est one of the most peppery officers in
the regiment To see him throwing
out his thirty-two inch chest was to be
reminded of the frog in the fable who
burst with blowing. When he gave
his orders In a high treble be resem
bled a crow with a cough.
One day, in a particularly tropical
temper, he accosted the regimental
giant and began to abuse him. For
awhile the huge private listened In si
lence. He was used to such scenes
and took them with philosophic calm.
But at last he grew weary and called
out to a brother private:
"Bill, go and fetch a ladder, will
you? J hellere he wants to box my
ears ! A ns wers.

jjj Over The Telephone,
By Ada R. BurtBtt .
"Well, Gypsy, what Is it now? An
other new dress, some more spend
ing money, or what?"
Mr. Thurston as he said thij
looked up from h's work at a dainty
little maiden who planted herself on
the broad arm of his chair.
Well might he call her Gypsy, foi
she did indeed look much like a gyp
sy queen. A fair, piquant face framed
In a mass of hair as dark as night,
eyes equally dark and flashing, and
fair olive skin faintly tinted with
pink.
"No, daddy, I don't want anything
particular just at present, but, ol
course, if you have anything to give
I won't refuse; but to tell the truth
It was so quiet at the house that I
Just hat. to find something to do, so
I thought I might come down and
tease you just a little bit."
"Oh, that's your game, Is it?" her
father said, laughing. "Well, I don't
think you will get the change, my
dear, as I am just going down to the
bank. Do you want to come with me,
or are you going home again?"
"Oh, dear," cried Gratia; "I don't
want to go back home."
"Well, all right, dear; you can
come with me then. Just touch the
bell, I'll have Jackson take care of
the office until I come back. I ex
pect Phil. in any time," her father
said, pointing to a bell on his desk.
"Oh, papa; please let me mind it;
please do, all alone, papa; I'd Just
love to; will you?" questioned Gra
tia in one breath.
"But the telephone might ring and
you wouldn't know what to do or
say,' her father remonstrated.
"1'ir manage that all right, you
just leave that to me," Gratia said,
shaking her pretty head wisely.
"Well, all right; but if you need
assistance, touch the bell on my desk
and that will bring one of the clerks.
By.-i! Bye!"
"I don't know what I'm going to
do," she exclaimed with a sigh; "I'm
sure I don't, and I am quite sure I
shall never like anybody else half as
well as him. If he would only ask me
oh, he is such a stupid thing, and
won't say a word," and r.he 6ighed
again.
"Hello!" said a voice that brought
the rich color flying Into her cheeks
"Hello!" she answered, changing
her voice as best she could.
"Is this 98?" said the voice.
"98" Gratia answered at a guess.
"Is that you, Phil?"
"Yes," answered Gratia, a mis
chievous gleam In her eye; "Is that
you, Bob?"
"Yes, are you alonet"
"All alone," acquiesced Gratia,
"Then listen to me for a minute
and don't laugh ut me. I waat your
advice, old man, for I'm In a deuced
tight fix. Say er you know that
pretty little cousin of yours. Gratia
er I mean Miss Thurston?"
"Well. I Just guess," said Gratia,
trying hard to suppress the laughter
that would come.
"Well, I do you know do you
think confound the luck, you know
what I mean, Phil why can't you
help a fellow out? Well er er I
love her, yes, that's just where I'm
at, heels over head in love with her.
and yet I'm afraid shell laugh at me,
she has such a way of laughing at a
fellow--well, and if she laughs, it's
all off with me. Now can you sug
gest something?"
"I don't see what I can do for you.
old man," Gratia answered, stopping
suddenly to wonder at her own bold
ness, and then going on, "of course
I never stopped to ask her about her
private affairs."
"Of course you didn't, and I
wouldn't want you to," Bob idignant-
ly cried out.
"Now, don't get excited over
nothing, old chap," retorted the lis
tener, still greatly wondering at her
own cleverness. "I guess after all she
doesn't exactly hate you. Suppose
you bring her a bunch of roses to
night all red ones and have a
white one in the center. I happen to
know white roses are her favorites
Ask her to choose one to wear In her
hair, and If she takes the white, then
ask her if she knows the language
of that flower and explain your own
case. . If she refuses you, wnisper
some pretty nothings in her ear and
retire, from the field.
.".You're a wonder," exploded the
vo'.c on the other side of the 'phone.
"IT take your advice and try It this
very evening. Many thanks, old man;
good-by."
"Gocd-br" Gratia said softly, and
