WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1914.
SOME LAW REPORTS.
Several women voted yesterday who
are the wives of aliens, although they
were correctly advised that when an
American woman marries an alien she
immediately takes his status as to
nationality. They said they had been
told by District Attorney Spence that
they could vote. Maybe the act of
Congress of 1907 on the subject
doesn’t apply to Alaska, although the
lawyers say it does.
Also a man born an alien voted at
‘the city hall on the basis of his dis
charge from the army, claiming that
he had been advised by the district
attorney that he was qualified, al
though the law is that an honorable
discharge from the army or navy
merely entitles a man to naturaliza
tion.
Inasmuch as these persons are lia
ble to prosecution for illegal voting
it is a pity they were no better ad
vised.
ESPIONAGE.
Even more appalling to liberty-lov
ing Americans than the vast military
systems of Europe burdening the
population with the support of huge
standing armies, is the unparalleled
espionage in times of peace that has
been revealed by the war now rag
ing on the continent. It is said that
the German war office has maps of
every foot of English, French and
Belgian territory, made by men on
the spot who sojourned long enough
to know the topography of the coun
try as well, or better, than the resi
dents themselves. It has been brought
out that men pretending to be rail
way engineers have made the most
complete charts of the countryside;
that supposed painters had sketched
fortifications, and supposed fisher
men had noted the depths of the
streams; that at many bridges of im
portance a German-owned factory
had been placed, and that every town
had a secret representative of the
kaiser’s intelligence department. Un
doubtedly similar use of spies was
made by Germany’s enemies, the on
ly difference being that the German
system seems to have been the more
efficient, far-reaching and complete.
All this espionage, it is to be re
membered, was directed against a
supposedly friendly people. It was
carried on at a time rulers were ex
changing visits and voicing senti
ments of confidence and affection,
each for the other. It has placed the
nations in the position of the man
who assumes an attitude of friendship
toward his neighbor and then employs
a detective to see if he cannot uncov
er some ugly scandal to be used as
a club if occasion demands.
The plea of the necessity for na
tional defense, so often advanced to
justify the huge standing army, does
not sound well when linked with this
espionage on other lands. This is not
in any sense a defensive step, except
so far as it may be said that the
man who strikes first in a fight acts
in self-defense. Espionage, as it has
been revealed by this war, has sought
to gain in time of peace an advan
tage to be used in offensive war and
shows the nations to have been pre
paring—not to defend themselves in
the event of attack—-but to be able

to surprise some other nation in an
attack upon it.
The severe punishment ordained
by ail the nations of the earth for
spies shows in what light they are
held. In war time even the murder
er is given more consideration, while
the spy caught in the act is put to
shameful death. In time of peace,
punishment is not so severe, but
surely the s|iame is not any the less
because the spying and the spied on
pretend to be friends. And if the
man caught in the act is in a posi
tion of shame, is not the nation that
sent him forth doubly so?—Ex.
