BEAUTIFUL WOMEN SPIES.
Plan OF i'or. Ta1ooed on Back OF
Soldiers Sweetheart.

Long before the war it was known
that Germany employed hundreds Of
feminine spies-beautiful society
women. in many cases, says An
swers. These women have played
important parts in the present cam
paign.
Here is a typical case: By acci-
dent a woman handed sentry the
very note that she was to have CIV
en- to the Germans, in mistake for
the permit that she was to show
in order to cross the bridge between
Varrangville and st. NicholasJ She
was charged before a court of war
and later executed.
Another woman dropped letter
which read: Hurry up; the Twen-
tieth corps arrives this evening"
She dropped it at the gates of Nancy
and was straightway arrested. Dur
ing the battle of the Aisne woman
was one night discovered signaling
from a window to the Germans by
means of an electric torch.
Perhaps the most daring espion-
age exploit by woman at the front
was that of pretty Italian in the
paw of Germany. Until her arrest
in November she travelled about in a
motor car and managed to give the
enemy much valuable information
about the French troops. She had
somehow provided herself with fax
ed passports bearing the forged
SIGNATURES of Sir John French and
General Joffre.
Attached to the garrison at Posen
was a young officer named Schorve-
der, who was very poor. He was
deeply in love with a girl named Ida
Mutherthal, but owing to his pow
erty, the prospects of their getting
married was very remote.
The lovers trouble was known to
a Russian secret agent, who ap-
preached the lieutenant and offered
him 5000 pounds for a plan of the
fortress of Posen. Dazzled by this
offer the lieutenant agreed, but he
found it difficult to carry out his
task. His sweetheart then suggest
ed a cunning way out of the difficult
ty.
"You shall tattoo plan of the
fortress on my back" she said, Il
shall easily be able to travel to Rus
sia with it without being discover
ed"
They carried out their fantastic
idea successfully, but the silly ex-
travagance in which the newly we'd
ded couple INDUCED after the girl
HsenSaroused suspicion
and they were both arrested.
You were trapped by a woman
who is the agent of foreign power
and so l am going to show leniency
toward you; but it cannot be much.
The crime is too great"
These words were spoken by Mr..
Justice Darling some time ago be-
fore sentencing George Herbert Par
rott, formerly a gunner in the navy
to four years penal servitude for
divulging British naval secrets to a
German woman spy.
The man met this beautiful wo-
man at London music hall and
soon became passionately in love
with her. He was so completely in
her power that, forgetting honor
and duty, he complied with her de-
mand for information.
1t is owing to a woman's wlles
that Germany possesses some plans
of Gibraltar. These were made
from rough sketches supplied by a
pretty young German girl who stay
ed at Gibraltar few weeks ago,
ostensibly for a holiday.

Invoicing Bugaboo
to Clerks of City

Say" said Genevieve. the pure perox-
ide blonde. as she skillfully adjusted her
gum with her tongue and her hair with
her hand. Il don't know rs this here
relaxation after the holiday rush is
such a snap as some folks says. Mebbe
, it is hard work standing On your feet
all day waiting on customers, but It's
? good sight harder standing or Your

nit on the head with old boxes piled w

the bottom box. what amt been

time for you. and it's bum time, toe,

Genevieve'S words. in more o. less
pure English, have been echoed by
many clerks and store managers thru
out the city during the past week. and
will be re-echoed during the Week to
come. After the holiday :ush comes
the bugbear of all goods.3ei stores--
inventory. or the complete invoicing of
the stock.
Prior 70 ordering goods for future
seasons, every proprietor wants TO
know what he has in stock. and what
better time TO find out than Just after
Christmas, when everything is low, and
lines are broken? Hence the work that
falls upon the clerks al this time OF
year.
Dry goods stores are PERHAPS the
hardest 10 invoice In one OF the
larger stores OF the city work has been
going on all Of this week. and there is
still large amount 10 be done. The
girls complain that it is hard OF their
hands, as they have to reach down
boxes and bolts of goods that IN :-orIl =
cases have been on shelves since last
year 1t completely ruins my nails.

talk. complain the managers. But il
comes only once year.
Perhaps the most difficult OF all
stocks 10 invoice Is that az the aa4
1e-cent and notion stores. Entering
one Of the local low price stores recent
ly. reporter found clerks stationed

sheets OF cardboard jotting down the
names of various articles as Other
clerks called them off /; WIS estimated
that there were over ! 5000 articles in
the store which had 10 be set down on
paper Practically all OF these have 20
be handled at least once. and some
times more il they are packed
away, unpacked. and put back. Even
the hundreds OF post cards have to be
counted. and an estimate taken OF the
candy carried in stock. Yea. verify,
the time of invoicing IS one OF weep
ing and wa.lng and smashing OF finger
