partitioned off for the cooking. while

Franco-German frontier. The case of
the latest unfortunate man Is typical.
Alfred Pinchon, 26 years old, left the
French army with the grade of adju-
cant. Well to do, he had no need to

patriotic ardor led him to it. His

deed. he was even on the point
OF concluding a contract with the
German army when his mistress, girl
OF German sympathies, betrayed him.
It Is true nowadays that spies are not
shot IN time Of peace, and Pinchon is
not likely to get more than five years
Imprisonment. But even this is a dear
price to pay for patriotic effort. The
French president has just pardoned
General Garletta, condemned for the
same offense. Such clemency, however,
Is exceptional. Spies-patriotic or
merely mercenary-take their own
risks.
The ordinary spy work on this most

maps prepared by the German gov
eminent which have arrived in France
through traitorous channels. If work
has already been done in the region full
details Of it are communicated to the
spy. During this preparatory time his
work must be to study up the region
from these documents in such a way
that he will know them all by heart. A
spy must not be caught with mans or
papers on him.
When he Is perfect, officers of the IA
nous Second Bureau put him through
rigorous examination. Several adj

his government will do nothing for
him. Indeed, it will deny him. It will

On the other hand, they leave the
spy free to choose his own means to
execute the work assigned to him. He
takes orders from no one. He makes
no account of his expenses. He must
