PRETTY SPY CONFESSED
HER GUILT-INTERNED
Secretary i'm Large Electric Supply
House Was An Agent of
the Kaiser.

New York, Nov ga pretty
young woman, secretary to a vice
president of one of the biggest and
wealthiest electric supply corpora
tions of this country, has been plac-
ed in IN interment camp until the
end of the war.
Two weeks ago the navy depart
nent ordered from the corporation
over its private leased telegraph
wires a large quantity of wire for
subsea use. The vice president re-
ceived the order. He transmitted Il
to shipping clerk
Two hours after the order was re-
ceived message was on it's way to
German agent in Mexico informing
him OF the transaction. The next day
secret service operatives arrived at
the office of the company. The vice
president said that none outside of
himself, his secretary and the ship
ping clerk knew Of the order.
The young woman was called into
the room. She admitted authorship
of the message to the German agent.
She said that the illness of her moth
er and her desire to educate young
er sister and brother had made her
salary of $4,000 insufficient to meet
her demands.
A member of the German organi-
zation here, she said, had offered her
sum equal to her yearly salary if
she would communicate with the
agent in Mexico every time the gov
ernment placed large order with
the concern employing her. She said
she had done this successfully for
several months.
She was interned that night, it
was said today. and few days later
was shipped south to camp.

President Wilson's Alien Enemy
Proclamation Causes Much
Shifting in Washington.
MANY LOSE THEIR JOBS
The Government Will Helm
These Find Employment in
Effort to Treat Law-Abiding
Germans With Courtesy.

washington, Nov. 22.-Thou-
sands Of unnaturalized Germans
were forced to move yesterday from
their homes near docks, piers, ware
houses, railway terminals and other
establishments declared barred zones
by President Wilson's alien enemv
proclamation. For many, the new
regulations meant not only the act
ual moving of the place of residence.
but the loss of jobs in the forbidden
areas as we'll
To those without work, including
many with dependents, the federal
employment agencies were open and
officials were emphatic in explana-
ton that the help of these agencies
in finding new employment for the
alien enemies would not be with
held. This was only one evidence
OF the governments anxiety to treat
law-abiding Germans with courtesy
and consideration. while applying
drastic rules to detect the few with
harmful intent.
Mayors of eastern seaport cities
today were asked for the co-opera-
tion of their police departments in
the registration of alien enemies un-
der the Presidents proclamation,
and few early replies to the depart
ment of justice indicated that the DO
lice would willingly undertake the
nd. %
man adult males and soliciting data
on their occupations and habits for
future reference.
Along the Atlantic coast. where
danger from alien plotters is con-
sidered greatest, the registration
enterprise will be undertaken first,
and will be followed later by regis
tration in the interior.
John Lord O'Brian. special as
sistant to Attorney General Gregory,
in charge OF the enforcement OF the
alien proclamation, expects to COM
plete regulations for the registration
late this week. and to put them into
effect next week
by that time, the war department
probably will have placed troops to
/ guard the most important piers and
docks at eastern seaports. They
will supplement the private guards
who went on duty under employ of
dock owners at the request of the
department of justice.
Department of justice officials said
troops would not be used generally
as guards. They probably will be
employed at Norfolk, Newport News,
Boston, New York, Baltimore, Phila-
delphia and few other ports.

Eight Thousand Prisoners and
Large Nmber of Guns Have
Been Captured.
HUNS SURRENDER FREELY
Resistance Offered by the Dazed
Troops of the Kaiser Was
Negligible and British Force
Way Through Lines.

British Army Headquarters in
France, Nov. 22.-The redoubtable
Hindenburg line in the Cambrai sec
tor was smashed in many places
yesterday by the great force of the
British tanks, and in the afternoon
the infantry, which followed through
the gaps, were still battling their
way forward.
The surprise attack was launched
at dawn. over Wide front. In the
hrst few hours it's progress was
marked with evident success.
The resistance offered by the daz-

wood, west of Cambrai.
Without Artillery.
The battle was an Innovation for
the western front, for it was begun
without any preliminary artillery
work Upon the army tanks rested
the responsibility for victory .or de-
feat, and they fulfilled all expecta-
tons. The iron giants went through
tremendous lines of barbed wire
entanglements in front of the main
Hindenburg positions, and on over
the trenches as though they were on
parade.
The tanks started forward at 6:2O
O'Clock. and by 1880 the British in

hole made by the mighty engines,
was engaging the enemy in open
fighting along the ,Hindenburg sup

day there had been no hard fighting,
and the German artillery fire had
been very weak.

The Germans surrendered freely

first few hours OF fighting.
Two attempted counter attacks
were smashed by the British artil-

tunnel trench near Bullecourt, the
other at Havincourt park, where one
company OF Germans essayed an ad-
vance. The tanks, followed by In
fantry. were continuing their jour
ney into enemy territory.
Prisoners admit ruefuIly that the
attack was surprise to them, and
caught many of them in their dug
outs. The secrecy with which tho
British made their preparations was
one Of the most striking features of
the offensiye. Guns. tanks and troops
were moved into the CambraI sector
