THE SPY PERIL.
DEBATE IN HOUSE OP LORDS. -'GERMANY'S! EXTRAORDINARY SYSTEM. LONDON, November 26. The House of Lords debated the spy peril. Lord Haldane said there was no doubt that Germany had organised an extraordinarily intelligent spy system in Britain "lonj before the war. The most dangerous people were not aliens but suborned Britishers. One hundred and fourteen officers were now engaged in detecting espionage, and had searched six thousand houses and interned 342 suspects. , "The Times,'-' in a 1 leader commenting on the British occupation of Herm Island, in the Channel Islands, says:— "We oust German companies from islands in the Persian Gulf, and give them Crown leases in'the heart'''of ihe English Channel, within sight of the coast of France, seventy miles from Portland, and forty from Cherbourg for £2BO yearly." The Prince of Wales is greatly interested in his experience at the front, and has written two long letters to the Queen relating his doings. The Censor opened the letters and oflcially passed them.
