FORREST. i (United Press Staff Correspondent.) Paris, March 1. (By Mail) "A i vast army of German agents engaged , m surveillance of Spanish ports and shipping" is condemned 'by the Span ish press and demands made on the government to take stops to get the spies out of the country in papers ar riving here today. German bomb plots and intrigue in- America are pointed to as examples of what the Spanish government is confronted with. Since Spain's refusal to open ly break with Germany as a protest against the submarine blockade, the Spanish press, except the German- ophile organs, is open in its criticism. The objecting papers carry lengthy and detailed revelations of the meth ods of German agents working in conjunction with the submarines. El Liberal, the great newspaper of Ma drid, leads in openly declaring that no ship now leaves a Spanish port before , its description, cargo, eea-route, speed, armament against submarines, make-up of its crew and its destina tion is known to the submarines lying in wait off tho Spanish coast. This information is transmitted to the sub marines by signals or by wireless and I it is so accurate that a German agent jCan say to a ship captain "your Yen isei trill be sunk at such and such a j time." And these .predictions are nearly always confirmed by facts. Other vessels, which pass the tests of the agents are spared, the paper says, and continues: "The German organ ization is very vast and admirably dinposed to take advantage of all the elements at its disposition.

Held Up As Warn 60.000 to 80,000 Germans now in Spam, most part are the officers of the German army, marines, inventors, industrial workers, commercial agents and technicians of all sorts who have sought employment on all parts of tho Spanish coast. In some instances they work for the lowest wages. This Gorman army is directed by the con suls and heads of big German enter prises, commercial and industrial, or ganized before tho war. They have cteated friendships everywhere, es pecially among the provincial author ities, the military chiefs, the com mandants of marines, the ollicers oi the civil guard, the caribineers, the chiefs of public service among which are the posts and telegraph and the civil police. This has given birth ii a system of espionage, sagely and me thodically organized, which acquaints the Germans with most mathematical and precise information for their ml marine campaign.

Between aDozenEggs and a Quart of Milk? A six-cent egg at a convention of milk enthusiasts would feel like a bad ceat. It would immediately go out and get scrambled. Every time a man is asked to say anything about the value of milk he snys it's worth a lot more than eggs. The report of the tri-state milk com mittee appointed by the governors of Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland give us this information once more. It snys that a quart of milk is equal in food value to eight eggs. And it says thnt when the consumer pays forty-five cents a (Iw.en for eggs while a quart of milk is worth nine cents he is paying three and three-tenths as much for tho same food value. It costs him two nnd three-fourths times as much for real food when ho pays twenty-nine cents a pound for round stoak. What is there about a hen that makes the consumer wont to squander his money on her product while he kirks like a steer when the price of milk is advanced a cnt? In it beciuso eggs are solid nnd milk is liquid? Or is it been use the hen makes a noise aDout her business? Country Gontleman.
