Gently arrested two women, Madame

charged with acting as spies.
The women promptly admitted at
the trial that they had smuggled let

tents, from Alsatian families to rela.
tives in Switzerland. This was done
simply as a friendly act and without
political or malicious purpose.
Both momen, says La Suisse, were
shot at Mulhausen. The mother was

GERMAN SPIES IN U. S.
TOLD OF FLEETS COMING
American FIotiIIa Escapes Mines Laid
by Teutons on Information From
This Country.

Washington, May %. - Four days
before the American destroyer 1otilla
arrived abroad Berlin knew it was on
the way and to what port it was going,
and the day before the vessels steamed
into Queenstown German submarines
had strewn mines about the harbor
entrance. This startling information,
revealing that German spies not only
still at their work in this country,
but that they have a swift and sure
means of communicating Americas
war secrets to the fatherland came to
the navy department in a cablegram
from Rear Admiral Sims at London.
The admiral said his information
was positive. His dispatch was not
made public and for obvious reasons
nothing will be given out concerning
how the news came into his possession
nor about the precautions which de-
feated the German plans and enabled
the fotilla to speed safely through the
mine fields.
