A REAL SPY STORY. TRADE UNIONIST EMPLOYED TO REPORT ON BOLSHEVISM.

The revelations in the House of Com mons of the double dealing of W. F. Watson must have caused considerable surprise among his Bolshevist associates.

Mr, J. H. Thomas, M.F., stated that during the war Watson persistently' followed him about and denounced him because he was not revolutionary enough. To Mr. Thomas's surprise, he had all the time, been subsidized by the Govern-

raunt.

The Home Secretary, while stating that Watson was not regularly employed by the Government, admitted that he volunteered certain information. for which he was paid when it was found to he accurate, He did not give any infor- mation about Mr. Thomas.

"Bill" Watsch, za be ja familiarly called, is a young frebrand, a member' of the Amalgamated Society of Engineers, and president of the London Workers' Committee, whose office, 7, Featherstone Buildings, Holborn, hag been frequently raided by the police. Watson was a spy inn his own fellows. Some months ago be went to the police and told them that be ould give valuable information about Bolshevism in England. He insisted on being paid for it It is believed that at beart he is really a rebel, but his col leagues will learn with surprise and dis gust that while be was trying to "turn England upside down be was at the same time receiving money for spyiņa his associates.

Watson was in March last sentenced at Bow Street to six months' imprison- ment in the second division for seditiona utterances in a speech at the Albert Hall. He appealed in July against the sentence,. but the conviction avas upheld sad he is now serving the sentence. Meanwhile Maurice Facey ie acting as deputy for -Watson..

Asked by Mr. Roso in the House of Commons whether there have been any ether Syndicalist leaders employed by the police authorities on the terme ad mitted to have governed the employment of Wataon, the Home Secretary. Mr Shortt, replied: "I must maintain the general principle of not giving any re plies, positive or negative, with regard to police information."

Some years ago a friend took me to the Japanese restaurant in Carnaby Street. We drank ineffably delicate toa one meal was brought.. Its first course ronsisted of lobster fried in batter, ac- companied by some tiny bowls containing alads of such artistic hue and arranged so like exotic postes of blossoms that it seemed a shame to thrust fork into them.

I remember that, emerging from the Japanese restaurant, we noticed round the comer a Servian restaurant. And there upon made a vow to visit all the queer foreign restaurantesof the metropolis.

But I have never fulfilled that vow, because the choice of foreign restaurants is too large. It is, in effect," endless. London, viewed in the light of its res taurants, reveals itself as by far the moet cosinopolitan city in Europe-possibly in the world.

Of course, we all know the Italian, French, Belgian, and Swiss, restaurantá in Soho and in the Tottenham Court-road quarter-sad perhaps some explorers may have shuddered on noticing in Charlotte Street a Dutch shop which announces that it sells Horse Meat for Human Consumption." But how many Londoners have tried the Greek restaurants? I know of two, one in Wiadmill Street and one in Beak Street." There are also two Indian restaurants in Rupert Street and Lisle Street-where you can scorch your palate excruciatingly but exquisite

At a Spanish restaurant in Dean Street I have bad excellent repasta. The mean offers Entremezes (hors d'œuvres), Sopas, Pastes, Huevos, Pescado (fish), Platos del dia (dishes of the day), Legumbres, and Quesos (cheeses). These vinade, sound more romantic in Spanish than in French, but, to be candid, taat, much the same

Somewhere in the City there is an Albanian restaurant which 1-etinfess I have not yet visited: and farther east, nå Limehouse Causeway, there is a cluster of Chinese eating-houses. They are worth a visit, though the ones in the West End are, as far as 1 can judge, jane as " genuine"-if you yearn to know, Bay, what squid tastes like with a garishing of pineapple.

Near Regent Street there is a Balonica restaurant, and in Great Windmill Street there is a Russian bar. Just behind the Lyric Theatre, there is an Oriental café' *** which is the chief London rendezvous of Armenians.

And when you have sampled all these places you will only have begun to touch the fringe of a curious and interesting subject. But it is possible that you will have arrived at a quite farocious longing for an English grilled chop and a pint of English beer-Daily Mail.
