BRITISH OUTWIT GERMAN SPIES Intelligence Office Kept Huns Busy by Supplying Prepared "Facts." FOOLED KAISER'S ADVISERS Information Sent to Germany Which Kept Hlndenburo's Staff) Busy Pro tectlna Themselves Against Peril That Did Not Exist. London Not tho least of the ninny Ironies of the war has been the out witting In every direction of the much vaunted nnd elaborate German spy system by the English directorate ol special Intelligence, which--long ago won the admiration of Its American co-workers. Had England been less Indifferent to tho German spy system which overran tho country yours and years before tho war, she might mivo saved horse f an Immense amount m trouble; but what was done during tho war In circumventing German treachery and cunning has been amaz ing. It would seem to have ucen a gigantic failure. And the explanation of that failure uppours to llo in a verv real understanding of the Ger man mind on tho part of the Intelli gence department. They realized tnai the German has not .vet been born who can resist a fact. Give u German one Httlo fact to play with and It will keep him happy for hours. Therefore, tho Industrious Gertnnn agents were supplied with facts, -intl tho English Intelligence department watched quietly whllo they picyed with them. The facts were entirely unlmportnnt and sometimes they were not facts at all, but they served their purpose and revealed the Identity or still moro members of the German service. Darkened Hun Counsels. There were occasions when the.v served an evon greater purpose, foi they wero sent nil tho way to Ger many, or were allowed to go, where they helped to durken tho counsels of tho kaiser s adviser and set the Ger man heailnuurters hard nt work urn- tcctlng themselves against a peril which did not exist. jueunwniio tne British intelligence department went cheerily on with their real business, and prepared various little surprises for tho Hun, nnd delivered them In duo course, such surprises, for In stance, as tho tanks, of which tho Ger mans knew nothing until they wero upon them. Undoubtedly tho failure of tho enor mously costly Germnn Intelligence sys tem had much to do with tho ultimate defeat of Germany. They wero beatei. at their own game. Brig. Gen. C. 1C.

"The detection nnd conviction of enemy spies," he says, "has been your primary business. It Is satisfactory to note that In most cases the arrest of the spy has followed quickly on his entry Into this country. You hnve been, In point of fact, the chief agency in preventing the leakage of naval unit military information. To mention hut n few Instances of your success, the withdrawn! from Gullliioll. the con struction of 'tanks,' the preparations for the offensive at Onmhral, and also for the recent counter-offensives which destroyed the -German armies, were all known to numbers of people In this country but wore concealed from the enemy. .There Is, I am Informed on the host authority, no evidence that enemy submarines luivt ever received Information of the departure of ship ping from British port. Thanks large ly to your efforts, no act of destruction or lnccndlurlsm has been committed by enemy agents In this country. This ts the more remarkable when the num ber of enemy aliens at large Is con sidered.

You have, moreover, stopped enemy remittances to the vnluo of about 70,000,000, and you have completely destroyed the enemy's oversea communications, so far as they wero vulnerable.

Miss Lindsay, who Is not yet out of her toons, Is tho daughter of a prominent diamond exporter and com. mission merchnnt of Kensington, i suburb of Johannesburg, and It was neur her homo In that city that she stumbled over the cave In which tho Foster band, which had been terror izing tho' community for mnny months, had secreted somo of their spoil.

When the project of a trnnsatluntU flight wns urged here by Major-Gen, Krancker of the British air scrvlct last year it was brought out that the shortest distance would be from New foundland to the Irish coast. Thli Is approximately 2,000 miles, and given a piano cnpablo of a sustutned speed of 100 miles un hour it could bo made in twenty hours, .So far as known, however, no plnne has yet been bulll which could make the trip without stopping for refueling. The route most generally favored In naval circles, however, Is by way ol Iho Azores, with a stop at these Islands for fuel and oil. This would make the first leg 1,:!00 miles and the final lap 700. Some ofllcers favor n halfway stop at sea to refuel from a destroyer If It Is considered Impossible to make tho trip In a single flight. Tn n general way It has been said heretofore that the crew of any plain attempting to cross the Atlantic would I ho composed of at least flvo men, twr. , pilots to provide relief at the levers, ! two mechanics to caro for tho engines 1 and a navigntlng olficer to chart thu ( course.

BETTER BREEDING HELPS In dairying large production nnd profit go, hand In hand. Breeding furnishes the most eco nomical way to obtain large producing cows. The purebred bull, with generations of high producing nncestors back of him, must be used for breeding, and only tho best heifers from the best cows should bo chosen to be tho dams of the next genera tion. CERTAIN BULK IS NECESSARY Table Gives Classification ot Common Feeds as to Bulklness Palat ablllty Important. (Prepared by tho United States Depart ment of Agriculture) A certain bulk Is necessary -In tho grain mixture given to the dairy cow to obtain the best results. When heavy feeds are used, some bulky ones should be Included to lighten the mixture, since it Is probable that a certain de gree of bulklness aids digestion. Soino mmmsmmm Raise the Dairy Calves, the Nation Needs Them. of the common feeds arc classified as to bulk In the following table: Classification of Common Feeds as to Bulklness. Bulky. Gluten feed Alfalfa meal Rye Corn-and-cob meal Barley ' Bran (wheat) Heavy or Dried browera' Trains Compact. Dried distillers' ems. Buckwheat middlings Oats, ground Cottonseed meal Malt sprouts Linseed meal Dried beet pulp Coconut meal Medium. Peanut meal Corn" meal or feed Gluten meal Hominy Wheat middlings Palatablllty Is of great importance In successful feeding. Tho best results can not be obtnlned with any feed which Is not well relished by the cow ; consequently any unpalutable feed to be used should bo mixed with those that are appetizing. In making the grain mixture caro should bo exercised that too large a quantity of either constipating or laxative feed Is not Included. Cotton seed meal, for example, Is decidedly constipating and should bo fed with laxative grains or succulents, such as silage or roots. For ordinary fecdln In most purts of the United States not more than one-third of the grain should be cottonseed meal. Iu some sections larger quantities have been fed, but this practice Is not be recom mended. On the other hand, llnsced-oll meal, because of Its distinctly Inxatlve action, should not be fed ordlnnrlly In greater quantities than 1& pounds a day.
