The admittedly thorough and effic ient German spy system is up against a most thorough and efficient stump in England. One of the unhealthlest obstacles for agents of the enemy's Intelli gence .department Is the anti-spy section of Scotland Yard. Official reports, just Issued, show that ten alleged spies of various na tionalities, all of whom were declar ed to ie working for Germany, were bagged before any one qf r-hem had been in England three weeks. Four readily confessed. ThlB list, however, represents but a fractional part of tho most recent fruits of the British dragnet. On two- PTTsionn, It Is unofficially de clared, the authorities In London cleverly maneuvered to round up dozens of spies who had been oper ating in London in the tguise of British army officers. The method was as simple as it was effective. The war office Is said to have In formed all army officers in the me tropolitan area to refrain on a cer tain day of recent date from travel ing on any trnlns- of the great sys tem of underground "railways of the metropolis. The order was strictly obeyed. Every officers' uniform thnt boarded an underground train that day contained a spy. The spy bag was full that, night. Several days later, the war office Is said to have repented Its warning. this time instructing officers to keep off of the motorbuses that travel by hundreds on London's busiest streets. Tho result was similar. The spy bag was filled again. But this Is only one of the j many methods through which spies are caught in Englund. Another Is j chemistry. it was chemistry thnt told Jthe British authorities that what lap. pears to be an Amerlacn passport Is not always the real article. A gov ernment chemist Informed the auth orities that tho great and powerful red seal of tho American state de partment had been forged by the enemy; that the secretary or state's signature had been photographed from a genuine American passport in Germany and applied to a spur ious document carried later by a spy In England. It was the chem ist's proor, linked with other fea tures tjiat followed, that caused tho spy to confess that he was furnish ed tho forgery lo obtain .military secrets In Knglnnd. This forgery Is today in the hands of the British authorities for comparison with other suspicious looking documents bearing tho seal of the United States. Americans traveling through Englnnd to or from continental countries will henceforth he subject ed lo the most thorugh examination ! and surveillance by the British nuth j rltles. I American pnssports In Englund, i In future, If there is the least doubt i of their validity, must bear the test j of the government chemists. I "Americans must not feel ill to j wnrd tho British authorities '.If I necessary precautions are taken to j prevent the use of spurious Ameri can pnssports In this country," said I a high official of the war office to the United Press. "They must real ' Ize that Germany Is not Above forg tng the official seal of the Ameri can slnte department and has, per haps, forged scores of these docu ments In nn attempt to safe-conduct , their spies Into England and other ! belligerent countries. Every Amorl ' can citizen entering England In the future must come with a clean bill of health easily proven and above all, with a passport that will defy the analysis of our chemists." Scotland Yard is assisted In "spy sleuthing" by all branches of the government and even by the oy scouts and girl scouts. A striking case of spy detection originated in the general post of fice where a girl censor had a pre monition thnt a certain letter she was reading was "not Just right".

A chomlcal test brought to light writ lug between the lines of the appar ently harmless letter and the trap was set for the spy. He foil into It a few days later. He was tried and convicted and was executed in Lon don Tower. Aloyal Britisher and his wife from northern Yorkshire decided to spend a week-end at Torquay, littlo watering place near Plymouth on the British south coast. They were "caught" by a boy scout tak ing a few harmless snapshots of the waterfront. The scout report ed the Incident to the authorities. The Yorkshireman and his wife were Immediately arrested. They proved their Innocence of Spying, without a doubt, but they paid $260 fine as a warning to "amateur photographers". The girl scouts serve in the same capacity as the hoys.
