J. Washington, Aug. 13. A content of spies is being waged in America as bitterly as the war is being waged in Surope. It is known to government officials that "foreign agents" are covering each section of the I'nited States particularly those sections in which war munitions arc lieing made.

One set of spies is keeping the German government acquainted with the progress of the ammunition and guns for the allies, and another set. reporting regularly to the British ambassador is watching the operations of the German agents. While there ia an attempt to conduct thig work of espionage within the limits of plain observation, there ia a great deal of information concerning vital matters of American resources for war that is being picked up for use in event of trouble with America. While It is not believed that this spy system has embraced the government departments, precaution is being taken in the way of inspecting visitors. 8.

The force la barely a hundred men, and they are loaded with duties which keep them busy on routine work. Knowledge that the spies are at work had led munition plants and ship yards to bar suspicious persons. It is entirely probable that infnrmatiot) of what is going on in the big plants is pained from workers, for such Information is valuable and money flows freely when information is wanted. It is doubtful if ever before spies held such an important position in national affairs. Today they are the men who determine actions of governments.

Knowledge of accurate conditions in Russia, England and France gave Germany her assurance when she entered the European struggle. France found out too late that her secrets were for the most part known to her enemies. Russia realized long after the Germans had found it out that she was not equipped with modern guns and munitions for a long war. England has only now awakened to the realization that she was tabbed to a minute degree so far as her war resources were concerned.
