The sentencing of Sir Roger Casement to death is a
subject which people of different nationalities will hold
different opinions about. Several of the liberal English
themselves are strongly opposed to his execution, while
the military kind, which is usually a ninny hammer class,
will think of nothing but taking the life of a man who was*
their enemy. However, Casements own people will, noj
doubt, have the grim satisfaction of knowing that the man
who has given his life to the righting of wrongs in South
America and Europe has acted all through like a real man.
His attempt was a desperate one. In years to
come, when present prejudices are dead his effort to
reach Ireland in a submarine to lead a forlorn hope will
rank as one of the great epic events ranking with the hold
ing of the bridge by Horatio. It may be that this knight
will meet his death bv bits of lead sent out from the muz
%
zles of rifles of half a dozen or so children of the slums
who could not spell the word powder. It may be that Sir
Roger Casement will meet the death that is meted out to
animals but his conduct so far has shown that Sir Roger
will die like a knight and a gentleman, and years after he?
has passed and gone and when the names of his execution
ers have passed into oblivion the name of Casement will
carry in its very sound that peculiar quality which is an
epic poem in itself.
In the Gateway of yesterday appeared a story about ,
a bet that the German submarine would reach the United
States before July f>. That submarine has not arrived vet.
% %
The longer it keeps away the more chances it will give to (
hungry newspapers to till up space without expense. If
that cable gets interrupted this week it will be mighty ;
easy to sav she has been sighted off the coast and next •
dav to sav that what was sighted was onlv a whale or
some other kind of a tish storv. It is a verv remarkable
* * i
event—the landing of a submarine from Germany and it
would be more remarkable still if it happened. It is really
hard to tell now whether that submarine is on the way
across or not. But as she was expected on July 5 it is
likely that she did not make connections. It’s enough to
make anyone sore, to have'that old submarine reported
like one of our own steamboats so often and not show up
in time. Rouse mit it.
Seward extends a hearty welcome to the bovs from
* »
Fort Liscnm and wishes them a very pleasant visit.
BRUSSELS IS OYEKRlN
WITH SPIES WHO PREY
ON IN NtK EN 1 PERSONS
(Special to Gateway by United Press\
MAASTRICHT, June 2J. ~~ Russia
at its worst or Constantinople under
Abdul Hamid never has been so oxer
run with spies as Brussels is at the
present time,
Everlasting espionage has made
life a burden for the Belgians ami no
where in the country are conditions
so terrible a* in the capital, accord
ing to reliable information smuggled
across the frontier, despite all the
vigilance of the kaiserV secret agents.
The spies arc declared to be well
paid—but only according to results.
They do not draw regular salar'es. but
get their rewards on the strength of
their reports’ volume and supposed
value.
Consequently if they have no
genuine information to turn in to
their superiors, It is charged that they
manufacture it. To be accused by
them means arrest and much difficulty
at the best. It is more likely to mean
prolonged imprisonment.
It may mean a firing squad.
A reign of terror hx* resulted. No
body feels safe, even in the privacy of
his own home. The people live in a
constant state of nervous dread. A
tap on the shoulder, prison and per
haps, death may come at any instant.
In Brussels alone it is declared
there are 1,500 spies. How busy they
are is proved by the extravagant
style in which they live.
Whenever funds run short fresh
victims must be found.
Women are numerous among the
secret agents. They may be found all
up and down the social scale, from
the relative of Gen. von Hissing, who
took advantage of her position to keep
an eye on the most fashionable func
tions in the most exclusive residences,
down to the humblest seamstress or
domestic servant.
There are officers’ and professors’ I
wives, who keep watch in the middle
class circles.
There are the demimondaincs, who
J send in report from the theatres,
restaurants and boulevards.
There are men formerly prominent
in business, of which now, practically
there is none, who use their former
1 connections and acquaintance to keep
the German authorities posted con
! eerning doings in financial and indus
trial circles.
Even the most ordinary working
> man is carefully watched.
A case is reported from the Hue de'
Flandre, in Brussels, where the driv
; er of a brewery wagon and his assist
ant were arrested because, after they
had unloaded a heavy barrel of beer,
| one of them remarked:
“The Kaiser himself could not have
done it so neatly.”
