Eeariavets NO, 20,804 | STERN AND DISCRIMINATING JUSTICE. CTING under its vast powers, the Government Railway Ad-| ministration has placarded the stations of the New York, New, Haven and Hartford Railroad with proclamations to the effect that thefts of goods in transit will be punished by sentences of ten years in prison. | What heretofore has been a matter for local prosecutors to deal with under State laws now becomes a national duty, with a penalty: far in excess of any prevailing for offenses of the usual filching char- actem That there has been much petty thieving on the railroads, | usually in taking toll from food en route, is true, and the failure on} the part of the roads to protect property in their charge has been the) chief reason for the growth of the evil. It remains to be seen what th heavy hand will do. | Meanwhile the Government has paid $45,000,000 of New Haven, notes issued to save the road from bankruptcy due to the looting of | its possessions to the extent of some $300,000,000 by its management and allied “banking interests,” for which no one has been punished or ever will be. | Mr. McAdoo might send one of his striking posters to each of the) estates of J.

MIASSOYEDORFP, German Spy Who Ketrayed | Russia. E was a German spy who betrayed Russia in the pree ent war. That by itself was no special wark of indl- viduality, for, according to all reports, the Russian Army and the Russian Court and every Russian mar- ket-place were fairly crawling with German spies, and they sapped the morale and strength and loyalty of the Russians to the ebb, besides making known to Germany every Russian military diplomatic move, But the story of Col. Miassoyedorff is none the less dramatic on that account. And probably no other one German spy did so much damage to Russians gs did he, From the first Miassoyedorff plied his secret trade | with a knowledge that exposure might come at any moment—and exposure would mean instant death to him. Yet until such exposure should come he did not intend to miss a single chance to injure Russia—after which, ff and need be, he would pay the price, Here is the story: Col. Miassoyedorff was an officer in the Russian service. He manoeuvred so as to secure an appointment on the staff of Russia's Tenth Army Corps. His corps, under Gen, Rennenkampf, formed part of the tide of inv: sion which Russia sent swinging across East Prussia during the first month of the war. For a time this Russian invasion carried all before it Then von Hindenburg took a hand in the game. and the disastrot battles of the Masurian Lake region followed. In these battles the Germans seemed to know beforehand exactly what the Russ‘uns planned to do Kivery move was forestalled and blocked. The Germans evidently had definite information of Russia's movements and schemes, But no one could find out who was tonne giving von Hindenburg this information. Appar- | j Russians Betrayed § ently {t came from sources high in the councils of i to Germans, the Russian Staff. Qarrrrrrrwnn The Russians clashed with the Germans fn one battle in the Masurian dis:rict, where (thanks to such inside knowledge on the part of von Hindenburg) the invaders wera defeated, with a loss of 70,000 prisoners. In a second battle the Russians wero again beaten, this time with a loss of 50,000, In both battles the circumstances were the same. In both casos an unexpected body of German reinforcements came on the scene at the crit- ical moment, as if knowing in advance just when and where and how to strike the decisive blow. Now all this could not be a matter of mere chance, and General Staff realized it could not. The German arrivais had been too well- timed for that. Some one had sent them word beforehand—some one fa-" miliar with the Russian plan of campaign. An official investigation was started. Bit by bit the testimony was sifted until suspicion at last fell on Col. Miassoyedorif of the Tenth Army Corps. ‘At his trial a fellow officer testified that he had scen Miassoyedorff some years before the war began and that the pris- ——w" ® sooner had then been an officer in the German Army. j Officer a Sol “I deny it!” shouted Miassoyedorff; “and I the Russtan in Foo’s Army. challenge you to prove your tying tement ° Another witness declared that Miassoyedorff had once been a leading official of the German Secret Service, Again Miassoyedorff shoute: “{ deny it! Itis a lie! You have no proof!” It seems a bit strange that no one of the several witnesses had recog- nized him as a spy before the mischtef was done, But now that he had achieved the ruin of Russia's East Prussian army the testimony of his guilt piled high enough. Still another witness swore that Miassoyedorff had had a long personal interview with the Kaiser when his corps had been stationed at the frontier Ne fore the outbreak of hostilities. Again the prisoner shouted a fierce denial. But the evidence was too strong to be shouted down, and after thoir in the Masurian district the Russians felt the need of punishing joss some one. Miassoyedorff was pronounced guilty and was sentenced to dic. He was shot, still loudly protesting his innocence. By Roy L.
