belonging 10 the Mediterranean squad
ron. who has just been arrested and
who ascribes his downfall to opium
smoking. the vice which has inca
pacitated 80 many French officers in
the avy
The affair. which promises TO be as
sensational AZ the Dreyfus case has
stirred up a terrible sensation here
and may cause another outbreak Of
a-nti-semlstism as Ullmo like Dreyfus
Is a Jew.
The traitor. who is said TO have
made a confession. is twenty-five years
old and until a few weeks ago was
considered a loyal and promising Of
ficer Recently he had lived very X
traYagantly at Toulon with a young
woman known as Ia Belle Lisbon
During the last week Of September
the French minister Of marine re-
ceived an anonymous letter mailed
from Toulon. The writer stated that
he had In his possession valuable Sc
cFet documents which he was ready
10 sell TO the government for $4,000
francs. One Of these vas the key to
secret naval correspondence and sig
mailing.
When no notice was taken OF the
letter, n second one containing pho
tographs Of some OF the documents
was received by the minister, advis-
inE him that unless the money was
forthcoming the original documents
would be sold 10 Germany.

10 the secret service and one al the
cleverest detectives Of the department

making friends with the traitor. They
became quite intimate and obtained
valuable proof Of the double life Ullmo
had been leading.

the extravaganza 0f LA Belle Lisbon
had ruined him bat added that he eK-
pected soon To make a fortune from
an invention OF his.
When everything was ready an
cmissary from the government arr
ranged TO meet IllmU in a lonely
place near Toulon and hand over the
money in return FOR the documents.
The emissary specially hired for the
occasion WAS a well known professor
of boxing and when the two met ne
felled the traitor with a vicious swing
10 the jaw. ~whereup0n detectives
appeared from an sides and had the
lieutenant %handcuffed before he came
