 Mime. Bechoff is one of Europe's famous dressmakers and when the possibility of famine stared Paris in the face she appealed to Des Claux to provide for her and he is reported to have delivered to her tons of delicacies which were intended for the wounded soldiers at the front and in the hospitals.
 The crisis was reached when French housemaid employed by Mme. Bechoff laid information before the military authorities. Her husband, who is fighting at the front with the French troops, complained that the French soldiers were not getting suf- ticient to eat. fingered at the sight of the German dressmaker living on the choicest of French military SUD- plies, the housemaid told the authori- ties and an investigation resulted in both Mime. Bechoff and M Des Claux being arrested. Search of the house revealed that Mme Bechoff had been supplied with delicacies and other food sufficient to last family for years.
