Stories of Spies By Albert Payson Terhune No. 71—-GEORGE PSALMANAZAR, the Mysterious “Spy From Nowhere.” Copyright, 1018, by The Press Publishing Co, (The New York hv T is not necessary to go into the tangicd mass of petty European politics two hundred years ago which made George Psalmanazar's spy services useful to Holland and to other troubled countries, The news he had picked up for his employers may or may not have been of great value. It wag his method of imposing on his dupes which has made him famous. Here is his queer story: To this day no one actually knows who he was, what was his real name or where he started life. Some authorities say he was French; some that he was Dutch. z Work) No one knows. A Scotch chaplain in Holland in 1702 chanced to meet a dark-faced youth who was prowling around a garrison town near Sluys, andpparently taking a keen interest in the movements of the army. The chaplain—Rev. Mr, Innes—questioned the young fellow, who, in broken French, introduced himself orge Psalmanazar.” He said ho was a Japanese student, who had spent nearly all his life in the Island of Formosa and who was now touring Europe on foot to add to his imperfect education, Mr, Innes took great interest in the youth and, Incidentally, let him ob- serve the work and the general positions of ths Geawrrrrrreenrg Ensilish forces quartered in Holland. Finding isa |} Spy Gains Chance $ ™4nazar was a heathen, he undertook to convert | He Seeks. j him to Christianity, The spy willingly consented, | and soon afterward he prevailed upon the chaplain to take him to London. In England young Psalmanazar speedily became the most talked-of | of the day. You must remember that, in 1702, Formosa and even Japan were as little known to most Europeans as are the inhabitants of the planet Mars. No one in England had ever seen a Formosan, and no one knew anyt! about the island's customs or language. So Psalmanazar was eagerly questioned by every one. At the same time | people of high political authority talked freely in his presence on matters of state. ian | He speedily became the petted favorite of clergy and of court. Ie | tearned English with bewildering ease. He was sent to Oxford University. There, in almost no time, he acquired a classical education, ‘The readiness | wherewith he learned was regarded as proof of his rare genius. No ono seems to have suspected that he was merely pretending to study what im already knew. He was proclaimed the intellectual marvel of tho age. People were eager to hear everything about the unknown Island of For+ mosa, Psalmanazar willingly gratified their curt- . ry osity. He gave lessons in the Formosan langua | $ He Learns Ch published the Formosan alphabet and gramm | Overnight. &c., drew maps of the island, described its dress ion Seeman and customs and history and laws and wrote pro- found books on the subject. At first a few scientists and travellers doubted his story, They put him to the most rigid tests and at last declared themselves satisfied that he was telling the truth. He translated part of the Bible into Formosan. He also wrote a pamphlet called “Dialogue Between a Japanese and a Formosan,” showing the difference between the language and manners of the two lands, His Formosan grammar and philology were flawles: | When his fame was at its height he suddenly made public confession that the whole thing was a fake. He confessed he had never been in For- mosa or in Japan and had never met any one from either of those countries, | He had never been nearer to the Orient than Eastern Italy. He had, in short, tnvented the whole lie. He admitted that he had invented the name “Psal- |manazar,” but would not tell his real name nor his birthplace, No one knows why he should have confessed. Perhaps the government employing him had no farther use for his services and he did not want the bother of keeping up a useless deception; or, perhaps not. In any case his confession merely added to bis popularity. He lived a long and honored life in England, dying in 1763. mistakes—the war? It is becomin wearisome to say the least. ‘ Furthe: it has proved profitable to the profit- cers, High prices of common neces- sities of life, artificial prices, have been brazenly demanded under the war excuse. Millions of promises and even solemn black and white contracts have been abrogated simply because somebody has failed to do his part. In many, many cases the war had about as much to do with the matter as the birds tn the air, There are some things that are crippled and even halted by the war, but they are not such things as bank cificiency. Are we to suppose that only the accurate people are on thr fighting front, and that eof the vas multitude who have remained at home there are not enough accu © persons to fill the places where this trait is of paramount importance?
