BRITAIN KEEPS WAR SECRETS WELL HIDDEN World War Taught England lesson When Enemy Knew All of Plans. Thl* U the fifth of a *erlt of articles , ® the Tut network of *pt iTttrni Id Europe. BY RALPH HEINZEN. United Pres# Staff Corretpondeht ■Copyright. 1931, b 7 United Pres*) PARIS, Jan. 18.—England learned a lesson during the World war when tc|>k the field In France to find an enemy which knew nearly as much about her army as her own ■var office John Bull s job In these post-war days Is as much to keep his own Information to himself as it Is to find out what is going on in a military, naval, industrial and commercial 'vay across the channel. So much has England been able to hide of her movements that only a few months ago when a picked zroup of guests was invited to sit at the edge of a field and watch maneuvers. by some new war instruments, the rest of Europe was taken completely by surprise. Britain has not always been so fortunate, and although the utmost efforts were used to keep secret the first uses of airplanes on submarines, a careless official in a government office “tipped off’’ the rest of Europe.

Exploding the ‘Bubble* No other nation had conceived s he idea, of making a folding airplane which could be taken into the shell of a submarine, and then Unfolded to fly away from the sub on the surface to scout, or attack. The idea was original in Europe at least But one day the London Gazette printed a decree which appeared nonexciting on the surface, but which caused the war office chiefs to tear their hair and delighted military attaches in the embassies and legations of London. The Gazette decree merely settled the question of extra pay for flying officers serving on airplanes carried by submarines That was all, but that blew up the bubble of secrecy. Military Attaches’ Work London newspapers, commenting on the fault. Jan. 3. 1928, declared that the employe responsible had been punished. The military and naval attaches give, most governments their greatest trouble Every government knows that these attaches file regularly long reports on everything they see and hear concerning the offensive and defensive arms of other countries, but since their position in diplomatic circles is accepted nothing can be said. As diplomats, they are immune from arrest, or bother by police, or the counter-espionage service. Thew are expected, out of politeness, to be invited to army maneuvers, sham battles and great troop concentrations but they are never invited System Is Explained Brigadier-General Stanley H. Ford, new military attache at the American embassy in Paris, recently publicly exposed the role of the army and navy attaches abroadHe is a former chief of United States military intelligence. “Today the United States government has a network of thirtynine military attaches In various parts of the world,” he said. “These attaches are stationed in twenty-two foreign capitals and in their reports they consider fortyeight countries. “The procuring of military data is quite simple as to process. The securing of information is usually on the exchange basis—that is to say, the government desires Its representative to obtain a’ certain item of information. That information is furnished provided similar information is furnished by us. Next: Business of spying centuries old.. * ■

PREDICTS MOON ROCKET FLIGHT Trip to Be Made at 12,000 Miles a Second, He Says, By United Press NEW YORK, Jan. 16,—A trip to the moon and back again in a rocket hurtling through space at 12,000 feet a second will be entirely possible in fifteen or twenty years, in the opinion of Professor Robert Esnault-Pelterie, French scientist, who is here to gain financial backing for his experiments and to address the American Interplanetary Society. “First a rocket will be sent without a human navigator,” he said, explaining that the pilotless rocket would circumnavigate the moon and return again, carrying instruments to record height, degrees of heat and pressure, and take motion pictures of the frigid, or unknown side of the moon. It would take bout forty-nine hours to reach the moon, he said, and as long to return. The venture would cost several millions of dollars, he said.

JOB INSURANCE 1 BILL IS GIVEN STATESENATE Holmes Measure Carries Emergency Clause Calling for Prompt Action. Senator C. Oliver Holmes (Rep.. Lake) introduced his unemployment insurance bill in the senate today with an emergency clause calling for prompt action and making the bill effective immediately upon passage. The bill was assigned to the committee on labor, of which Senator Roscoe Martin (Rep., Cass and Fulton) is chairman. Under provisions of the measure, employes will create the unemployment insurance fund by contributing 1% percent of their weekly or monthly pay roll sotal, thus creating a reserve similar to that by which* industry now pays dividends in slack times. Employes, after the fourth wouk out of employment, may colled benefits not to exceed $lO weekly. The only cost to the state will be the administration through the state industrial board. Benefits will not be paid for more than thirteen weeks of any one year and, to collect, the employe must have had at least twenty-six weeks work in the industry during the two years previous to the lay-off. The $lO weekly may be obtained by those over 18 and $5 for those under 18, or the latter may collect 60 per cent of their weekly pay if it is less than $5. Holmes’ bill was drafted on the lines laid down by the American committee on labor legislation. It differs from the so-called “dole system,” in that the state does not make the payments from taxation. The bills fostered by the Bankers’ Association also w’ere introduced in the senate today by Senators Winfield Miller and Robert L. Moorhead (Rep., Marion). One will limit the deposit liabilities of a bank to not more than ten times the capitalization and the other makes bank holding company stockholders liaole in the same manner as bank stockholders.
