W ashington, D. C. — A ctiv itie s of
persons suspected of being spies em ­
ployed by foreign governm ents to ac­
quire inform ation reg ard in g th e n atu re
and ex ten t of the defenses of th e P an ­
am a canal have made th e a d m in istra ­
tion decide to request congress to sup­
plant the ex istin g law s ag a in st im ­
proper acquistion of knowledge of m il­
ita ry and naval plans and fortifica­
tions.
R ep resen tativ es of th e d ep artm en t
of Ju stic e and the W ar and N avy de­
p artm en ts have been in conference on
th e subject, and it is expected th a t they
will agree on some d rastic legislation
to be subm itted to congress.
I t is possible th a t th e scope of th e
conference may be extended beyond
the original ideas of a m ere protection
of th e secrets of th e A m erican coast
defenses to cover generally such a t ­
tem p ts as have been common since the
beginning of th e present w ar to de­
stroy powder and am m unition plants,
on w hich th e U nited S tate s govern­
m ent m ust rely in tim e of trouble.
Several of th e m ilita ry powers of
th e world are believed to have under­
taken to obtain inform ation as to the
ch a racter of the defenses of th e P ana­
m a canal. The la te st incident to ex­
cite suspicion is th e operations of a
little Ja p an ese pow er vessel, ostensi­
bly a fishing launch, which sought to
o b tain a p erm it for pearl fishing in the
w aters of Panam a bay and vicinity.
The canal au th o rities have been
warned th a t th is c ra ft appeared to
have been m aking surveys and th a t
these w ere not confined to th e w ater
but extended to th e isthm us proper.
W hile these operatious may have
been p erfectly innocent in in ten t and
only such soundings w ere made and
bearings taken as m ight be incident to
th e p u rsu it of pearl fisheries, the canal
zone au th o rities have regarded the
m a tte r as of sufficient im portance to
w arra n t in v estig atio n and rep o rt to
W ashington. M eanwhile, licenses have
been w ithheld until some general line
of policy can be form ulated to govern
all such cases.

P erhaps there w as even som ew here in
her a vugue contem pt—a t least, a
slightly patronizing pity strengthened
by the know ledge th a t now his salv a­

passed on from him to the Implacable,

she regained herself and the heights of
her virtue. She bent over him.
“A re you better. D esire?”
“ Sylvia." H is hand groped feebly
for hers. She touched It kindly. She
would not reproach him. She w as for­
giving him. H e w as going to die.
And then she would be free. She did
not think of her freedom. It wns like
a hidden pulse— beating persistently,
feverishly.
"I heard you call,” she said. "Is
th ere anything w an t? The nurse will
be back In a m om ent.“
He caressed her band w ith an In­
finite tenderness.
“’J bey are going to shoot him at

then all will be well, will It not? You
will forget him. You will learn to

my wife. T here will be no shadow

She shrank from him, half In horror,

and lie seemed so sure. He did not
ask for forgiveness; there w as no re ­
m orse In his suuken eyes—rath e r a
grave, serene pity.
Ills hand still
held hers. T here wns a pow er In Its
w eakness which terrified her; she felt
as though she would never be able to

“Sylvia—you will not leave me? I
