Prosperity
Now is the time to pick up some
cheap lots. It will not be very long
before one or probably two Smelters
will be erected in this city and per
haps a reduction works. Put your
money in the ground — you can't
loose it.
Think it over and come and see

Washington 1b honeycombed with
nests of s:>lcs and so are the cities of
New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Bal
timore, Norfolk, New Orleans, Galves
ton, San Francisco and other seaports,
says the Washington Star.
There has been a rather complete
system of espionage In Washington
since the European war began. Here
tofore intelligence officers of the vari
ous European governments have been
more occupied In ascertaining the
moves of each other than In ascertain
ing moves of the United States gov
ernment But it Is believed now that
some of this expert attention has been
turned upon Washington activities, al
though, as an Intelligence officer of a
foreign nation put it:
"What's the use? Any possible op
ponent of the United States knows all
about this country's affairs that is de
sired to be known anyhow!"
Little Secrecy In United State*.
This remark recalls the fact that
there has been very little secrecy about
United States military affairs la years
gone by, owing to the system of pub
lic hearings and the system of making
public the Information In regard to
hearings on military affairs before con
gressional committees which has been
in vogue in the United States.
Several years ago, when Major Gen
eral W. W. Wotherspoon, U. S. A., re
tired, was chief of the war college, a
Japanese prince visited the United
States and was shown through the war
college. Just before his arrival Gen
eral Wotherspoon was showing a friend
through the building and pointing out
some of the systems in use, which, he
said, he proposed showing the prince.
General Wotherspoon's friend ex
pressed surprise that such entirely
complete courtesies should be placed
at the disposal of the distinguished vis
itor. General Wotherspoon replied:
"Oh, well, the prince will know all
about this anyhow before he gets here
The Japanese have a pretty good intel
ligence system."
Queer Happening* In Washington.
Queer things, however, have been
happeuing In Washington the past few
days. Splendid looking limousines of a
character not used by ordinary mes
sengers have been seen standing in
numbers before ths doors of European
embassies as early as 6 o'clock in the
morning, when the ordinary worker in
Washington has hardly turned over for
his last nap. Queer things also have
been happening in connection with the
use of the long distance telephones.
These have come under the notice of
observing persons, who have readily
understood that the intelligence officers
of various nations could give an ex
planation of them if they wanted to do
so. It is proper to add, perhaps, that
such explanations might be forthcom
ing from the department of investiga
tion of the department of Justice of the
United States too.
The British intelligence system is De
lieved to be the finest thing of its
kind ever nut into operation In the
world. It Is known to be Id charge of
Captain Guy Gaunt, R. N., the young
est captain in the British navy, an Aus
tralian, who is as much at home in the
country houses of Long Island as he is
in Washington. Captain Gaunt is de
scribed by those who know him as the
ideal of the romantic type of modern
intelligence officer, a man of indom
itable energy, to whom could possibly
be applied the old fashioned detective
phrase, "He never sleeps."
Great Britain is watchiaT out for the
intelligence system for the allies on
the eastern coast of the United States,
and Japan is watching out on the west
ern coast
There is now a new officer in charge
of the German Intelligence system In
the United States. He makes his head
quarters in the office of a big German
steamship company, a fact well known
to the allied intelligence officers. The
German system, however, is said to
have met with some reverses recently.
Cogs in the mach'nery have slipped,
and it is said tiiat the German system
is not accomplishing as much as it did
at the beginning of the war.
Spy's Real Name Diccloeed.
When the spy Von der Goltz was ar
rested in Great Britain while trying to
make his way back to Germany under
a false name and a false American
passport he was confronted In Great
Britain with his real name, which is
Wachtermann, a name, It was said,
that has not up to this time been
known even to the department of Jus
tice. He heard it pronounced for the
first time since he left Germany years
before. Von der Goltz, it will be re
called, was known as Bridgman Taylor.
"Listening in" on telephones, on wire
less. the hunting for tips and clews to
codes, is going on all over Washington
and the big seaports of the country.

Berlin. — What to do with, the
ex-convicts who, when, sentenced,
lost ttteir rights to citizenship, and
therefore may; npt belong to the ar
my and fight for the fatherland, is
a problem that is occupying public
1' estimated that there are
pftentio> to an increasing degree,
in the empire at least 100,000 able
bodied men of military age now at
liberty after having served prison
sentences, whose work for the gov
ernment in the aggregate would be
flf tremendous value if a way could
1 o found to utilize them.
Yet they cannot be sent to the
front in regiments composed of me^
who have mevgr been gruiltjr of crim
inal acts, because the soldiers
would not toleratg their presence. J
Nct is it feasible to form special
companies, as has occaisonally been
suggested, for particular hazard-1
cus duty, Such duty is regarded
by the average soldier a special
houor which he would L*s loath to
surrender to men branded by im-1
prisonment. Nor is it felt that it
would be safe to intrust Important
posts to men in whom implicit con
fidence cannot be placed.
The latest and apparently most
welcome suggestion is that the ex
convicts. and even convicts now
qerving terms, should be formed in
to special working bodies and put
at some kind of labor for the mili
tary authorities, whether *t the
front or at home.

Say, did you ever notice v

That all tho tranquit sleeping earth
Wakes ud to see and hear?
That all the pussy-yillows.
The violets and such.

Aud see so very much.
That they call their lazy comrades
To wake up and see the light
For Motner Earth in all her splen

Is indeed a pretty sight.

Many business enterprises that should be
