The leader of a well-known orchestrawas one of this class, and it was only after the greatest difficulty that he obtained permission to continue his work. A number of merchants are compelled to move in a limited area at present and have suffered the loss of trade, the people of this country having come to the conclusion that when a man lives here and makes his living off our people he should become a clttr.en. The old Idea, of "America for Americans" is returning. When the war broke out there was a rush for naturalization papers, but only .i few were admitted to citizenship, as it was found that several spins were trying by this means to ingratiate themselves into the good graces of citizens from whom they could obtain Information valuable to Germany. The United States Secret Service has not ben asleep and they have taken hundreds of yples. Neither the names of these people nor the nature of their offense is given to the press as the officers fee! that the news may warn others upon whose cases they are working and spoil th plans of the officers in rounding them up. Only recently two of these officers went to the home of a New York official with ft demand to be allowed to search the trunks of one of the maids. The girl had been employed in the home ei(?ht years and. was regarded as a model servant. They had talked freels- about the war In her presence and had never observed her paying any attention to their conversation. They wanted to vouch for her and let the matter drop, but the officers were insistent and when the trunka were searched three bombs were found, each one bearing Instructions as to the time and place to use them. The girl wss promptly arrested. Rounding Up Spiffs.

In all our possessions the German spy system has been at work. Pc i. at Panama the Government took r. chances with Germans and shortly after war was declared they cleared the hotel and cottages on Taboga J land of Americans and promptly interned ail German residents therp. They then stopped all boats running' to-the Island except the ones carrving supplies which were operated by the Government. In Hawaii and the Philllplnes German suspects were interned and guards set at work guarding public utilities. Men and women In all the walks of life have been engaged as spies by the WUihelmstrasse office, for they employ all kinds and conditions of men and women in their spy system which like the military system is run with German efficiency. This spy system never sleeps, but Hfce the octopus reaches out its tentacles and draws in anybody it can use. Money is spent freely where important objects are to be gained. The agents of the German Government have tried to fomert strikes all over the country, especially in shipyards and munition factories, and to raise all sorts of dissension between capital and labor.
