Among the facts which form the

SPIES In PETTICOATS
Nearly All Big Powers Employ Women
as Secret Service Agents

From Pearson's Weekly.
II believe you were entrapped by q
woman who is an agent of some foreign
country. and that you We're ingeniously
entrapped and fooledi" remarked Justice
Parrot, the ex-naval man, to four years
penal servitude for selling naval secrets.
To those who are acquainted with the
history of espionage. this statement came
as no surprise. for nearly all the most
sensational spying cases of recent years
have been engineered by unscruplous
women. For When 1t comes to trickery
there Is no match for clever woman,
especially if, as is often the case, she
has natural beauty allied to her powers of
stealing condolences.
Only a few years back an important
German fortress had to be entirely re-
and valuable information regarding It's
armaments and the geography of the inn
portant portion of German frontier that
Il guarded And this act was rendered
necessary owing to the ramificatlons or
a Frenchwoman whose attractive person.
atty enabled her to worm these secrets
from important Berlin officials, in whose
homes Sne was liupHcitiS tiusteu oitu Sii-
tertained.
Recently a charming lady who posed as
a governess was sentenced to four years
renal servitude for spying. She was en-
ployed by two European powers, and by
acting as a governess to the children of
naval officers in Paris and Berlin, she
paved the way to acquaintance with those
holding responsible positions.
With remarkable audacity, she annexed
charts and plans and sold them In the
right quarters This she found an easy
task. having, in her position of COVER
ness. ample means of learning in what
part of the house such documents were
stored and it was not until bunch of
durlicate keys of number of admiralty
safes were found in her possession that
suspicion fell upon her.
Every one remembers the sensation
some years ago when most complete plans
of the interior of the first British dread
nauebt were published in a German news
paper. About this time an attractive
merican lady of German descent sudden
lv disappeared from Londons S society cir
cles. where by reason of her charming
personality and apparent wealth, she had
been given a hearty welcome.
An inquiry was held on the affair, and
1t was suggested that this lady probably
knew a good deal about the leakage Of
these important plans, and probably
further proceedings would have been
taken had not the honor of several Off
GERS of high standing in naval and society
circles been involved.
