GIRL SPIES DIE AS
BRAvELY AS DO MEN
Shooting Of Women Takes Place
Daily In Cities Of North
France.

In the North of France.-NO lists or
even figures are officially disclosed,
but the shooting Of spies takes place
daily in this and other towns Of the
district, and in these last three days
nearly as many women have been shot
as men.
The most seasoned veteran loathes
the task of shooting women, but ac-
cording to the laws It must be done.
They are lined UP with the men, often
mere girls or women of refinement at
the zenith Of their charm and beauty,
who, according to their lights, give
their lives for their country and meet
death as brayely as any man.
So many spies have been caught in
France lately that the possession OF
papers apparently in good order avails
a man or woman nothing once. an ac-
cusation has been made or suspicion
aroused. It Is asserted that no Ger
man tongue can ever pronounce GER
tain French words without betraying
itself. It is failure to pass tests of
this kind which condemns the sus-
poets.
Their papers may have been stolen
and the signatures on their passports
studied SO that the holders can pro-
duce passable limitations at will. Spies
have even been caught with their own
photographs superimposed upon 9th
ers on passports and with the Official
stamp on the photographs counter
feited.

Shells From American Ships Fire Vera
Cruz as Mexicans Flee Before Marines

Galveston, April 22.-Cable news
from Vera Cruz says many Mexicans
were killed in the battle this morning
by the shells hurled into the city to
protect the landing of the marines.
Their advance on the city proper was
covered by severe shell fire from the
Prairie, which did much execution.
The firing began at daybreak and
raked the southern part of the city,
destroying a number of buildings.
The fire was returned by men hidden
on the tops of buildings, but they soon
fled as the shells began to fall in the
city
Many buildings and the warehouses
along the wharves took fire from the
exploding shells. The marines con-
quered the flames at every point de-

sharpshooters, who were hidden on the
