tween Hugland and Germany with this intelligence"
 The witness testified he has seen Mrs. Keppel como back from Holland.
 The writer sad there had been many persons wno had been prevent ed from putting their full strength in the war by corruption and blackmail and the fear of exposure; and that there were reasons for supposing that the Germans were making use of the , most productive and the cheapest methods. The paper went on to state
 that there existed in the cabinet noir' of a certain German prince. a
 book compiled by the secreat service from the reports of German agents who had infested England, spreading vice and debauchery. More than a thousand pages of the book were filled with the names mentioned by German agents in their reports. i'm cluding the names of 47000 English men and women
 The charge against Noel Pember-
 ton-Billing, member of parliament, of libelling Maude F. Allan, an Ameri- can dance, and J, T. Green, manager
 of the Independent Theatre, whica now being is tried in the Bow Street police court arose out Of the publi- cation in Mir. Pemberton- Billings pa per Vigilante, of an attack upon Miss Allan such as was unworthy of any man to make upon a woman, accord ing to the prosecution. Tho meaning of the passage complained of was that there was some connection be- tween nameless vice and tho perform ances at the Independent theatre This was made clearer by a cryptic reference suggesting that if Scotland yard were to seize q list of the mem- bers subscribing to the Independent theatre there was "no doubt they would secure the names of several
 thousands of the 470O0."
 The explanation of this reference , was discovered in an article in the previous issue of tho paper in which the alleged libels were directed oAhihto NHoip t4dooth bL VbOptEs uUt excepting the very highest in the land
 Then there was the suggestion that the most seats of state were threat ened. It was also stated that the Ger man statesmen by certain liassons could obtain information as to the disposition of the fleet and that "the thought that 47,000 Englishmen and women were held in enemy bondage through fears calls all clean spirits to mortal combat"
 Maude Allan figured Tn the affair for the reason that she had been en- gagged to play the part of "Salome' in a play called Salome. originally written by the late Oscar Wilde.
 The play which included dance was to be put on at the Independent
 theatre under ]. T. Grein's manage
 ment but the dance did not pretend
 to be that danced by Salome in the
 Bible story, but was supposed to rep
 resent vision seen by Salome after i she had given the dance for which
 the head of John the Baptist was the
 reward.
