PJSO'S
False News Manufactured So That
Germany Might Be Misinformed
Spies Were of Very Little
Service to Germany.
London. In tho possession of n
serKcnnt-mnJor of the Hrltlsh military
foot police Is a peculiarly nuidc leuth
er strop or, rather, n series of strap
for which Madame Tussuuds
doubtless would pny n largo sum t
money.
It Is the strap with which German
pics caught In this country and eon
denwed to denth wore fastened In a
special chair nt the Tower of London
prior to being shot. Like a wise man,
tho sergeant-major had the strap
mode to hit) own design and "paid for
It with his own money. It Is to him
a priceless relic of the great war.
Germany's vaunted spy system,
like the overboomcd German navy
hardly renllzed expectations. There
were, It Is true, a greut many spies In
England, both before and after the
war acting on behalf of the kaiser.
Most of them were neutrals, and came
originally from South American
slntcs. x
Tho Hrltlsh secret service resem
bled its magnificent navy. It did Its
work as silently and effectively, and
tho necessary reticence observed as to
Its doings contributed very materially
to the discomfiture felt by the Ger
mnn government owing to tho mis
leading Information which "fell" Into
German hands.
Mythical Barrage In Channel.
As n matter of fact, the naval In
telligence department, under Rear Ad
miral Hall, acting In conjunction
with tho censor's department, provid
ed fnlsc Information to the Ocrmnns,
nn Instance being the mythical Strait
of Dover submarine barrage revealed
by Sir linger Keyes.
Nearly all Germany's spies In this
country attempted to forwnrd their
information by post. Hut thanks to
the censor's stnff It was rarely those
letters, even although written In In
visible Ink, went undetected.
All Rples were not arrested Imme
diately they were detected. The llrit-
lsh secret service, ever considerate.
allowed them to send und receive let
ter8 and collect Information, but It re-
nerved tho privilege of opening tho
correspondence both ways and mnk'
Ing alterations likely to he of more
uso to tho allies than to Germany.
It Is dlfllcult to estlmnte tho value
of tho Information obtained by this
method. The Hun, with his profound
disrespect for British finesse, prob
nbly never "will believe that Britain
could be guilty of sucli astuteness.
It Is certain thnt Germany obtained
very little that was useful from her
spies in .Knglnnd, From the outbreak
of wnr the ports were too carefully
watched to permit of much leakage.
Up and down the east and south
west coasts of Knglnnd were, how
ever, many "hydros," palatial hotels,
built right on the sen, with large cop
per domes twinkling brightly for mnny
miles out at sea". And the manager
was often n German.
Klgbt German spies were executed
In this country, while many more tiro
undergoing long terms of penal servi
tude. Kor obvious reasons the names
of many never were revenled. The
Imperial government continued to
communicate with them blissfully
unnwnre that their agents had gone
to a bourne from which not even n
German spy returns. The British se
cret service kindly acted as the spy's
deputy.
Executed In Tower.
The execution of these spies Is nnt
urally an unpleasant subject, but none
the less Interesting. After the secret '
trial and condemnation to deatli the
spy was taken to tho tower, there to
await tho dread summons In the early
hours of the morning. Taken from
his cell by a party of military police
the spy was strapped to a chair In a
.quadrangle of the tower. There, fac
ing him, about ten paces distant, was
a tiring party, usually eight men, from
the battalion of guards on duty at the
time.
A low Instruction from the .ofllcer
In command to aim at the heart, a
sharp order "Fire I" a burst of flame,
and the crack of eight rifles hnd end
ed the enreer of another of Germany's
tools.
One spy was hanged nt Wormwood
Senilis prison; seven, others were
shot. The hanging cost about $100,
and, coming to the conclusion thnt It

pointed secretarj for Scotland by Pre
mier Lloyd George. He occupied tho
same post in the Asqulth cabinet.
would be Just ns effective, to say noth
ing of considerably cheaper, It was
decided to shoot nil spies nt the tow
er. Klgbt cartridges at three cents
each was a much more appropriate
valuation of n German.
Of the femnle spies much doubt
less will be written by Action writers
of the future. Like the men. they sue
reeded in getting comparatively llttlo
Information of value out of the coun
try. Most of them, neither young nor
beautiful like the spy of the story
writer, arc languishing behind prison
walls and will remain there for some
years to come. British chivalry for
bade their execution.

Tells of Sanborn's Bravery.
His story was told by a buddy of
Ills In the One Hundred and Thirty

terrupted with :
"Say, If you were lighting under a

Do you know what Colonel Sanborn
did at Chlpilly ridge In August, when
our outtlt wns so badly shot up? We
were up there with nothing to eat or
drink for a couple of days until Col
onel Sanborn personally brought ra
tlons to us on his back under the most
terrlllc fire that I ever experienced.
''He did that because he wanted to
be sure that the food would reach us

wouldn't tight like the devil under a

Kenne went to the Mexican border

Keane had charge of directing the
work of stretcher bearers, l'arty after

Kenne went out to find them. He
found them dead, lying across the
stretchers with the wounded men. They
hnd been killed in their work of mercy
by the Germans. At that moment a
party of Germnns mudo n sortie to
capture Kenne, but It ended In his-kill

to surrender nnd to carry tho wounded

had killed back to the allied lines.

made by Gen. Peyton C. Murch, chief

Why Swift & Company Handle
Poultry, Eggs, Butter and Cheese
Swift & Company went into the pro
duce business because they saw a
crying need for the kind of service they
were equipped to perform.
The produce business was in chao3.
Collecting, transportation, preparation
and distribution was hit or miss,
with delay, deterioration and loss on
every hand.
The farmer was at the mercy of an
uncertain, localized market. He had
no way of reaching through to the
people who needed what he was
raising for them. There was no prem
ium upon improving his stocks, for
grading was lax or lacking.
The consumer had to accept produce
that, as a rule, had no known respon
sible name behind it. He had no way
of knowing how long the eggs or the
butter he was buying had been; lying
around in miscellaneous lots in the back
room of a country store. Much of the
poultry was not properly refrigerated
before shipment or properly protected
by refrigeration in transit.
Swift & Company's initiative brought
system to this chaos. Their organiza
tion, equipment, and experience in
handling perishable food products were
already adjusted to the task. Their
refrigerator cars, branch houses, cen
tral points, far-reaching connections,
trained sales force, supplied just what
was demanded.
Now the farmer has a daily cash
market in touch with the nation's
needs with better prices. Standardi
zation makes better produce more
profitable. More consumers are served
with better, fresher, finer foodstuffs.
Nothing suffers from this save
inefficiency, which has no claim upon
public support.
