GERMAN PYCAUGHT.
IN CHURCH TOWER
OFFICERS REMARKABLE FEAT IN
BOMBARDMENT OF ALBERT
WAS QUICKLY EXECUTED-DIED
CLAIMING HE HAD DONE HIS
DUTY TO FATHERLAND.

LONDON, Jan. 1S.-A correspondent
in Northern France tells the following
thrilling story in the London Daily
Express:
The remarkable feat of German
military spy, which cost him his life,
has just been brought to light at AL
bert, manufacturing town in the De-
partment of the Somme, on the main
line of railway between Paris and
Lille.
In consequence of the German ad-
vance from Peronne to the line of the
River Ancre, the French artillery re-
tired from Albert, which is an open
town lying in hollow, and took up
positions on the high plateau to the
north and northwest of the town.
When, on SEPTEMBER 20, the heavy
German guns bombarded Albert, de-
molishing private houses, factories,
and public buildings, and setting the
town on fire in several places, it was
observed that the magnificent new
bastilica, with its campanile 325 feet
high, summounted by huge gilt stat
ue of the Virgin and Child, which
forms a landmark for miles around,
was left untouched throughout the
terrific bombardment.
Some religious folk attributed the
sparing of the church and it's tower TO
miraculous agency, Albert being
sort of Lourdes in the north of France

Church Spared Again.

Church Spared Again.
A week later, as several batteries Of
French heavy artillery were passing
through the narrow, ruined streets to
take up position beyond, the town
was again bomborded, but once more
the church and it's great tower suffered
no hurt. This was so contrary to the
usual habit of the German artillery
that the suspicious of the French mill
itary authorities were aroused, and
these suspicious were increased by the
fact that the positions of the French
batteries two miles beyond the town
were, despite several changes of posi-
ton, continually being found by the
German guns in circumstances which
even the visits of the Taubes failed
sufficiently to account for.
rs at thu same time the French csr =
mand was advised from headquarters
that the enemy had apparently estab-
lisheL wireless station somewhere n
the locality, it was decided to keep a
close watch on the church at Albert,
the tower of which had been frequent
ly used by the French, up to the day
prior to the first bombardment, as an
observation post. 1t was, in fact, only
in order to save the inhabitants from
the horrors of a useless bombardment,
the town being of no strategical i'm
portance that the French troops had
been withdrawn.
A few days later the comings and
goings of serving woman at small
inn close by the church gave clew to
the watchers. She was observed to
enter courtyard at the back of the
church, unlock the sacristy door, and
closed i after her. A guard was set at
the door, the SISTER" of the adjoining
hostel left in charge of the locked-up
church was brought and ordered to
open the door, and thorough search
was instituted.
On the staircase of the tower the
serving woman was arrested, and, in A
state of terror, confessed that for a
fortnight past she and another woman
had received 20 francs day each tc
carry food to man who had hidden in
the tower.
At the top of the tower, taken by
surprise as he was about to eat the
food which the woman had brought
him. was found a man of between sc
and 35, a small wireless apparatus, and
pair of powerful field glasses, and 4
magazine pistol.
Shot in Half Hour.
The man refused to give his name
but quite frankly admitted that for ;
fortnight past ne had. from the obser
vations he had been able to make from
the tower, directed the fire of thu

MORE PROGRESS
Reported by the Russians in the

Partial Success.

II is still on the Carpathian noun
tains that the most bitter fighting is
in progress. The Russians have
crossed the principal chain in the re-
gion of the Rostok pass and occupied
two villages on the slopes on the Hun
garian side of the mountains. This
claim is made by the Russian war Of
flee. which asserts that all along this
front the Russians have continued to
make progress.
The assertions of Petrograd are not
borne out by the Austrian official
statement. which declares that in con-
junction with German forces. the Aus
trians have captured two strong posi-
lions on the heights of the Laboroza
valley and repulsed strong Russian at
tacks in nearby sectors. capturing
1850 prisoners. In addition Vienna
