GIRL SPIES DIE AS

In the North Of France.-No lists or

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 bravely 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 &C.
cusation has been made or suspicion
aroused 1t is asserted that no Ger
man tongue can ever pronounce GER
tain French words without betraying
itself. 1t 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 no ders can pro-
duce passable limitations at will Spies
have even been caught with their own
photographs superimRosed upon 9TH

stamp on the photo graphs counter
