Washington, la honeycombed with Bests of spies and so are the cities of New Tork, Boston, Philadelphia, Bal timore, Norfolk. New Orleans, Galres ton, San Francisco and other seaports, says the Washington Star. There has been a rather complete system of espionage tn Washington ince the European war began. Here tofore Intelligence officers of the vari ola European governments havo been ttore occupied In ascertaining the sabres of each other than In ascertain ing mores of the United States gov ernment. But It Is believed now that Mmo of this expert attention has been tarued upon Washington activities, al though, as tin intelligence officer of a foreign nation put it: !What's the use? Any possible. op- ponent of the flitted State's knows all about this country 8 affairs, tliat Is de cked to be known any howl" ' Little Sacracy In Unltad States.; iThls remark recalls tho fact "that jtltere has been very little secrecy about United States military affairs In years gene by, owing to the system of put lie hearings and the system of making public the information In regard to liarings.on military affairs before con gressional committees which has been vogue in the United States. .'Several years ago, when Major Gen eral W. W. Wbtherspoon. U. 8. A., re tired, was chief of the war college, a' Japanese prince visited the United Elates and was shown through the war cMlege. Just before his arrival Gen eral Wotherspoon was showing a friend through the building and pointing out rate of the systems In use, which, he aid. he proposed showing the prince. Cencrol Wotherspoon's friend ex pressed surprise that such entirely complete courtesies should bo. placed ( tho disposal of the distinguished vis itpr. General Wotherspoon replied: "Oh, well, the prince will know all about this anyhow before he gets here The Japanese bare a pretty good Intel ligence system." Quaar Happeainga In Washington. Queer things, however. hare been happening 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 the doors of European embassies, as early as C o'clock In the morning, when the ordinary worker in .Washington has hardly turned over for bin la: t imii. Queer things also have I Tiwn l?tniintn In pnnnwtlmi tvtfli Hi. ! use pf the long distance telephones. These have come under the notice of observing persons, who have readily wideryjood that the Intelligence officers of vaiious natlms could give an ex planation of them If they wanted to do bo.
