HILE the boys in khaki, pushing to the front of the Allied line that blocks the great German offensive, draw the! Nation’s chief attention at this moment to its Army,' mericans are not forgetting that they have a Navy which hae worked tirelessly, though almost in -ccret, for more months (han the country’s Jand forces and at closer grips will the enemy. Amid the tributes—some of them tardy enough-—now being paid Ro tho efficiency of the Navy Department in effectively co-operating With the British and French Admiralties to hold the German sub-| marine campaign in check, Americans at home are thinking of the fen who have manned the battleships, destroyers and patrol boats! Woring one of the severest winters on record, who have faced the) ‘storms of the North Atlantic, convoyed troopships back and forth through the perils of the war zone, scouted for U boats and helped, @estroy enough of them to make Germany’s boasted sea weapon the, wostly failure that it is. | Speaking in Cincinnati last Sunday, Secretary Danicls gave full ‘eredit to the spirit of these American sailors for what the Navy has ‘accomplished : *, “Where shall we go from here?” “This message from the boys of our Navy to Admiral Sims was delivered by officers and men tmmodiately upon their return from a long trip at sea in seareh of submarines, where there is neither sleep nor rest for days, and where the strain on minds, muscles and nerves is almost unbearable, Not a ‘word of complaint from these men. Remember that news of Uncle Sam’s eailors has necessarily been far more meagre than that from the troops, that it has been a long} time since boys in active duly on Uncle Sam’s war vessela have heard| the cheers of home folks as they marched through the streets of an (American city, and that very little reaches American cars at home bout excursions or rest etations in famous French summer resorts for men of the United States Navy.

ETTER than assurances from medical experts that ground glass B in food does not produce the deadly resulte credited to it is the plain statement made by the Food Administration through the Committee on Public Information: “We have followed the elusive ground glass story from Maine to California and from the Lakes to the Gulf for the Dast four months, War Intelligence, Navy Intelligence and the Department of Justice are doing the same, and in the thousands of cases that have been reported we have found but one genuine case of deliberate intent tn putting ground glass in food. This case was where a disgruntled employee of a bakery in Fort Smith, Ark., placed glass in one loaf of bread. This was done for the purpose of injuring the business of the baker and suc- | ceeded so well that the baker is out of business, due to untimely publicity.” The Board of Health in this city, after examining over a uaevea| ‘samples of suspected bread, reports that in no case did it find ground ‘g'ass and that three splinters of glass “so large as to be easily de- tected” which were discovered in three loaves of bread from different ‘bakeries were, in the opinion of the Board, “baked in the loaves by wecident.” The psychology of public scares is well understood, Everybody remembers the famous poisoned needle panic a few years ago, when Jor a period of ten days or so young women on ferryboats and in crowded terminals and moving picture theatres were continually being overtaken by the belief that a stab from a drugged needle had ‘started them on the way to unconsciousness. Then all at once nobody heard any more about poisoned needles, i A reasonable amount of scrutiny for food not prepared at home is never amiss.

H. | Stories of Spies By Albert Payson Terhune No. 13—YAMA SAN, the Jap ER name was not Yama San. No one outside of Jay knows what {t was, “Yama San” was a nickname given to her by a Russian officer at Port Arthur dur- ing the Russo-Japanese War. She was a timid, smiling little girl who worked in @ tea-house in which Russian officers gathered sometimes while the Japs were besicging the port. She was so pretty, so shy, so willing to stay Up all night to serve tea to late comers that she became @ prime favorite with the officers of the garrison, © It is probable they never bothered their heads to the chance of her being a spy. If they did, and If they cared to make inquirics, their suspicions were quickly set at rest. For Yama San wes just a servaut—a girl who had left her Jap vifiage home in childhood and who had worked ever since in tea-houses. Sho had no connection at all with the Japanese Government, After Port Arthur's first bombardment most of the Japs employed there fled from the city. But tho little tea-house girl remained. She went on serving tea for Russian officers as though there were no shells bursting all over the town. Her quiet pluck made her more popular than ever with the garrison. One night in @ private room of the house there was a conference of =< 1 Who Outwitted Russia, | Russian Generals and staff officers, A master stroke of strategy had been | » Prebared against the besiegers, and it was (oe eee ae essary tu gu over the details, } The Russians Plan | the papers in connection with the | a Big Coup. scheme were brought to the meeting pla 5 | | would let no servants into the room except stupid littie Yama San, well as certain maps and fortification plans, The conference began curly and it lasted late. Much tea was drunk, and then much stronger liquids. ‘The Generals did not want to risk the chance of being spled on, so they They not only felt she was devoted to their interests, but they also knew she was | dull and uneducated and that the papers and the talk would mean nothing | to her. Yama San was kept busy and busier c: As the night wore on the drinking waxed heavier. One by one the members of the conference staggered away to bed, At last only uno or two remained ‘These survivors of the drinking bout presently fell around the table. And on the table's centre were still p papers, plans, blueprints, &c, Then it was that Yama San stopped being a silly tea-house servant and risked her life for her beloved fatherland. She reached across the snoring officers and gathered up all the papers from the table, She hid them tn her blouss and left the house. She did not know what the documents contained, but she decided if they were of use to Russia they might also prove useful to Japan. She disguised herself as a Chinese covlie and left the city at sunrise with a gang of Chinese laborers who were going by rail to @ construction tying lquor trays Into the room.
