BERLIN, Nov. Is, via London-There
is still an absolute absence of news from
Austrian or German sources regarding
the sinking OF the Ancona. Nothing has
been printed here except dispatches from
foreign sources.
The German admiralty asserts it has no
information regarding the case and has
received none from the Austrian admir-
atty.
An American business man who arrived
here yesterday morning from Vienna said
that up to the time he left the Austrian
capital Thursday night the newspapers
had published nothing about the Ancona.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 13.-The Ameri-
can consul at Malta cabled Secretary Lam
sing today that Il of the crew and four
passengers of the Ancona, none of them
Americans, had been landed at Malta by
the British steamer Brodlea.
This one despatch was the only over
night information received by the state
department whose officials still cannot
understand the lack of official informa-
ton As vet there is nothing official TO
indicate the nationality of the submarine
which attacked her or the circumstances
of the attack Despite the fact that all
diplomatic and consular representatives
of the United States in the vicinity of the
scene of the attack have been instructed
to report, state department officials are
almost as much in the dark as they were
four days ago.

London, May %.
VERYBODY has heard of the
r. tremendous ramifications OF
the German military spy
system, which had every move OF
Englands army and navy under
observation, every gun emplacemcnt
mapped out and knew every order
given TO the army before il reached
the subordinate officers
Engllshmen were powerless to
shake off this spy danger, which
penetrated into every branch of
national life, hut English women
took up the matter, brought the most
dangerous spies 10 trial, put the
others under armed guard and in
various other ways made the lives Of
spies and suspected spies burden
to them.
They have proved that women are
the only efficient spy trappers"
TIE leaders of the undertaking are
women of title. for they alone would
have the authority, means and pres
tige 20 carry out such a difficult and
far-reaching work.
The organizer and chairman" Of
the committee that has been round
ing UP the spies is Lady Glanusk,
wife of peer and officer, a woman
of keen mind and very determined.
yet tactful personality.
Other members are the Duchess OF
Wellington. who is president: the
Duchess Of Beaufort, the Duchess Of
Sutherland, the Marchioness OF
Sligo, Countess Bathurst. the Coun-
tess Of Lancsborough, Viscountess
Massereene and Ferrard, Viscountess
Combermere, Viscountess Gotham.
Lady Vincent, Lady Leith OF Fyvie,
Mrs. Harold Barring and others.
Among them are some OF the most
notably beautiful women in English
society and others who are dis,in.
gulshed by their winning personality
Perhaps the most striking beauty is
the Viscountess Massereene and
Ferrard, whose husband is the chief
OF celebrated Irish family.
Equally attractive in her way is
the young Duchess OF Sutherland
whose husband is the largest land
owner In Scotland and the United
Kingdom.
Another member OF the committee
noted for her beauty is Mrs Harold
Barring, who was formerly Miss Marie
Churchill, Of New York Her hus-
band belongs to the famous English
banking family that possesses four
peerages. Lady Leith of Fyve, is
another American born member. She
was Miss Marie January, Of st.
Louis.
Womanly intuition and womanly
guile exercised by these attractive
spy trappers," on many social oc-
casions, have led many Germans to
make admissions they would never
have made to man.
Before the war thousands of Ger
mans were in positions of trust in
England. ranging from heads OF
banks down to such positions as but
lers in prominent English families
and headwaiters in leading hotels.
Many people believe that German
buffers in the employ Of British Cabi-
net ministers and British generals
have been the most important agents
for conveying military information to

Carl Hans l.ody. the German spy
executed in the Tower Of London,

Lody was an officer of the Ger
man naval reserve who had resided
some years in the United States,
married and deserted his wife there.
He was engaged for time as an
agent Of an English tourist agency
in America. work which gave him an
excellent opportunity for watching
military preparations
Last August he obtained an Ameri

bassy in Berlin, under the name of
Charles a. Inglis. of New York,

tourist. he visited the principal sea-
ports OF the United Kingdom While
he was viewing the romantic scenery
in the vicinity Of Edinburgh, an at

the influence Of sympathetic society

than discretion warranted.
