FEW SPIES SHOT. Bmfc the Germans Had 3,700 in Pari' Ihiring the War. Paris was filled with paid Germai pies during the war, but only forty 4ve of them were court-martiallec and shot, according to Col. Emih Massard, who commanded the count er-spy section in the Paris region uj to the armistice, sayg a Parish dis patch to the N. Y. Herlad. Col. Mas ?ard recently described the thrilling career and the punishment of th< dancer Mali-Hari, who was convict d of being a spy for the enemy an( was executed by the French. To-day the Liberte prints the firs of a series of narratives by Col. Mas ard, not only telling how the Ger man spies worked, but showing 'bov they neglected tiny details of theii cheme, thereby enabling the Frencl army's counter espionage service tc bring them to justice?in one cast just in time to prevent the dynamiting of the Hotel des Invalides, and numerous apartments near by, occupied by military authorities. At one time, according to Col. Massard, the espionage service directed from Berlin the operations of more than 8,000 hired girls, placed in various hotels and cafes; 700 ex-officers in French business houses, 50 beautiful Prussian girls in the army canteens in French garrison towns and 200 specially selected servants assigned to the homes of the bourgeois, as far as possible in contact with officers of the French army. Their reports reached Berlin after passing the inspection and receiving the approval of master German spies in Brussels, Amsterdam, Geneva and Lausanne. Just to give an example of how intricate a problem it was to catch these spies, once the war was declared, ColMassard recounts the visit of a dashing young officer, wearing the tabs of the French General Staff, who arrived early one morning at the artillery park in Paris. When the commandant of the park was notified he decided to investigate personally and found the officer examining anti-craft and other guns with the precision of an expert. The commandant shrewdly asked the visitor to aid him in counting the weapons aloud. Although the latter aeemed to scent danger, he could not refuse such a simple request. When he called out the number "twentyninth" ((vingtneuvieme) the peculiar combination of two "v's with a "t" in the middle proved his undoing, for the combination is one the German tongue is unable to master, inivariably pronouncing the second "v" as an "f". With a shout of rage the commandant felled his visitor and turned him over to the guard, who discovered hidden in the visitor's boot a certificate identifying him as a German officer. A hasty courtmartial followed and within a few minutes the spy was bound to the execution post. Importance of the Comma. We all remember the smart school boy who wrote in bold hand on the blackboard: "Bill Smith Says Teacher id a Fnnl'" The tpanher. and no doubt a good one, surveyed the legend with complacency. The boys watching with much interest the outcome, saw their mentor take a piece of chalk, and nonchalently place a comma after Smith and teacher. Lo *nd behold. "Bill Smith, Says Teacher, is a Fool!" The comma within itself is a very humble mark of punctuation, but has a world of meaning when properly or improperly placed. Once a printer set up a poster to advertise an address by a militant suffragette. Her subject was, "Woman: Without Her, Man Would be a Savage." When the speaker called for the posters the proofreader had to leave town suddenly for the flaming sheets said: "Woman, Without Her Man, Would be a Savage."?Monroe (N. C.) Enterprise. Be a Man.

NEW YORKERS BURN WOOD Builders Besieged by Householders Asking For Old Lumber. Householders in all parts of New York, according to the observations of policemen, are collecting a great deal of firewood this fall, says the New York Times. This is taken to indicate that many of them are anticipating a coal shortage during the coming winter. In backyard sections everywhere it is a common sight to see the male members of the family busily engaged in splitting boards and lumber into kindling wood. This firewood, as a householder expressed it, is not intended to supplant coal, but to help save it. "At this time last year," a builder said, "I used to give wood away occasionally when I was tearing down or repairing old buildings. I used to 1 _ 'WaoH criven <nang out a sis" 1caum6l away free for the asking.' My ouly stipulation was that persons applying for it should cart it away themselves, It may surprise you when I tell you that wood often went begging. It is quite different this year. I do not have to hang out a sign; every day I am besieged by men, women and children soliciting old lumber for firewood. There are so many of these applicants that I have to turn most of them away. "I am sure that this demand for firewood means that much more wood is going to be burned in the fires this winter than in the past." Both Balled Up. At a political gathering in England an orator waxing indignant, said: "To ridicule the idea of this country being invaded is to follow the example of the camel, which buries its head in the sand when an enemy approaches." The rival speaker rose and retorted: "Surely the gentleman in giving utterance to this apothegni, must have meant to refer to tne ostrich, which, in those circumstances, has a habit of putting its eye through a needle."

The case of anonymous letter writing reported from the French town of Tulle affords a typical illustration of the methods of the "sensation monger." Missives making accusations of infidelity have caused the deaths of two persons in an asylum and brought misery into several homes. This is precisely the result desired by the writer of the slanders. Making a sensation is the very height of enjoyment among a large number of morbid persons. The human craving for excitement is entirely normal, but in its pathological and criminal manifestations it often leads to tragedy. The majority of young children delight in sensational mongering. A lie of imagination is the commonest form of juvenile unveracity. A little girl who "sees" bears and wolves in a coppice near her home invents stories of hair-raising sensa-j tionalism concerning the fierceness of the animals. Another girl declares she sees big eyes in the stem of an oak tree. A boy, twelve years old, arriving at a boarding school, told his companions of the dormitory that he had flown the first airplane from Buckingham palace and had been personally complimented by the king. ?From the Continental Edition of the London Mail. j Gridiron Greatness.
