————— ‘
WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.—Many Ger
man spies have been caught in this
ountry and interned as dangerous
liens instead of being court-martialed
and shat. Thig is the opinion of a high
official of the Navy Department. Ha
believes the Department of Justice has
eeny too lenient wit hthe agents who
have been rounded up.
The bepanment of Justige, on the
other ‘hand, believes that in many cages
it has not securad evidence enough to
varrant the trial of these agents on the
life and death churgi of egpoinage, It
Lelleves that it has been a ms'er policy
to confine the' suspected men In in
ternment camps rather than to risk
irial and csqult\gl.
Armiy and navy offfcers, while cog
nizant of this view, assart that {he Doa
partment {s stfll too lenient with the
_.axents. Many of them, it Is charged,
Lve been let out on parole, No L‘,ff’(‘h\l
nere is willig to admit that the Uni
ted States has actually caught any
v.lergmn spies.
‘Has one single out-and-out spy
'een caught since we entered tio
war?' a navy officlal was asked.
“Well,” he re?.nad. after a minute's
thoyght, “I think that the men whom
the Department of Justnce has round
d ?p‘ouzht to be further investigated.”
Many thousands of enemy aliens have
beem rounded up by the Secret Service.
t i 8 known. I ts not charged that all
of '}ese persons are spies, but it is as
serted by military and naval authorities
that there are among them many men
whe, if caught in the field, would face
« drum-head courtmartfal and a firing
quad.

* (By International News Service.)
LONDON, Feb. 16.—"“The war has
b}ouzht us two compensations for
all its woexand ills,” says a London
editorial writer,
. "It has equipped the eountry with
new machinery and it'has materially
decreaSed the wasteful vice of
drunkenness. Lord D' Abernan
stated recently that drunkenness
among women has decreased by 73
Fer cent. The rvestriction of public
wuse hours has doubtless been a
contributory (‘allfie, but tho real rea
son for the deeline is the inorease
in self-respeet that has come with
wider employment and greater inde
pendence. The war has addeds to
women's interests and made their
lives fuller. It is the idle and the l
~ bored who are most likely to drink |
too much. The man or the woman
to whom life offers constant inter
est and even occasional thrills is
not tempted to seek forgetfulness,
and at the same time to lose hu
ma!lty. D'Abernon suggests
~ that present conditions will continue
| after (he war. If this be true of |
the novel restrictiong it ig certainly |
‘ equally true of the mew privileges.” |
