FOREIGN SPIES
■ ACTIVE IN UNITED STATES President Roosevelt Concerned. A NATIONAL PROBLEM. By Telegraph—Press Association.—Copyright. (Received This Day, 12.40 p.m.) HYDE PARK, October 6. President Roosevelt said he was concerned over the activities of foreign spies in America and was studying the means of combating them. He had had a talk with Mr Lamar Hardy, the United States District Attorney for New York, who would be the prosecutor in a German spy case due for trial at New York soon. Mr Hardy had recently returned from Europe, where he went to obtain information. President Roosevelt added that foreign agents' activities unquestionably were a national problem. The present federal machinery, for rooting out the spy evil, was’not compact enough. Spying was being conducted on a much larger scale than ten years ago. The activities were concentrated on naval and military establishments.
