Other new detective work by govern

the investigation of organized criminality
among eliens in New York. These sleuths
have undertaken dangerous assignments

system of smuggling Chinese into this

fened by the government to any one who
will inform on this class of delinquents.
This system. however. offers tremendous
opportunities of blackmail and petty
graft. and IN several of our large cities
there have come to light cases in which
there has been strong suspicion that
a certain class of women make ii a prac-
tice TO entice soldiers into brothels and
there keep them under the influence of
liquor or drugs. It is alleged that the De-
lilah OF this class will then send another
woman to inform upon the alleged de
serter" and receive the $50, which the
two will then divide. In almost every
large city there are women who make
revenue out of the detection of deserters,
some of them by honorable and others
by dishonorable means.
Woman sleuths were employed with
great success in the bringing to justice

work. sifted the woman detectives OF the
country until he came upon three whom
he could implicitly trust. Beauty and
