CHAPTER VIII.

previous chapters of these revelations have
how the fascinating Nine. Storeh, the beautiful Ger
arch-spy, with the mancured toenais pursued
her spy work in this country for the German Government
We have how she attained her ends by exercising
her personal charms upon wealthy iders foreign noble
men and susceptible of all kinds We have seen how
her popularity in the hectic nocturnal circles of New
York marvellOusly aided her plots
But there much work Of this kind to be done
for the German Government than could be done by
woman alone however resourceful It was desired to
nveige other beautiful into the of
intrigue and wickedness. In securing and cooperating
with such sirens Nine Storch was wonderfully successful
She the great organizer of personal debauchery
for Germany Through such women they planned appar
emily to demoraze the military services Of ell foreign
countries.
America was of course an essential source Of military
supplies to the allies Without they could hardly have
resisted the onslaught of German power planned for fifty
years Especially necessary to vast, morgan
lied, unprepared Russia.
An essential service of German spies in America was
20 interfere with American shipments to the allies to
misgude and betray allied officers if possible to obtain
information concerning the departure Of ships carrying
munitions to the allies to dsorganze the manufacture of
munitions and to bring about the destruction of the fac
tories producing them. In this line of work Nine Storeh
performed marves for Germany but through very ind
rect methods
We all know the tragedy of Russias collapse in the
war-how after unparalleled sacrifices her armies melted
away her national unity was destroyed and the whole
country fell into chaos and became helpless victim Of
Germany.
1t is known that the hundreds of millions spent
In this country by Russia for munitions largely
wasted that ships destined for Russia eventually
delivered into the hands of the Germans that supplies Of
value were accumulated uselessly in Russian
ports until they spoiled destroyed by German
ploters Not nfrequenty the information gathered here
concerning munitions proved guide to the Germans
corning vital Russian military plans and of the
greatest Russian disasters directly traceabe to the
leakage from this country.
In this task of derangng Russian plans through Amer
lea Nine. Storch labored with diabolical ingenuity and
success shall She did not exert her influence
directly upon Russian officers but through Russian
women who better able to play upon the weaknesses

The Strange DOiHgs
of a Brilliant Russian Officer

An instance of this apparently was the case Of Vadek
Zbyszko the welknown Polish wrestler. After giving
one Of his wrestling exhibitions in Boston he arrested
by government agents and taken to Ellis Island New
York He detained there several days. closely ques
toned but released after three days. detention At
time Zbyszko gave wrestling exhibitions with Lurch
which may account for the interest taken in him.
The information furnished by Zurich and his friends
chiefly the doings Of Mile. Mrolubskaya and
Colonel N. v Nekrassov, brilliant officer, at one time
connected with the Russian War Mission in the United
States 1t stated that Nerassov fell completely under
the domination of the Russian dancer that through him
she enabled to obtain information about Russas
plans and that this information communicated to
Nine. Storch who passed it on to Germany.
The prolongation of the may be due mainly to
this intrigue Through this information 1t is asserted,
the victorious advance Of the Grand Duke Nicholas into
Austrian Poland brought disastrous end and the
Germans enabled to advance into Russian Poland
and capture Warsaw. The trial Of General Soukhomh
no the Russian War Minister amply proved that German
propaganda and spy work had played q great part in
running Russia's armies. The Germans were informed
often q month in advance when Russian ottensives
about to take place. and they guided to places
where they could capture Russian ammunition guns and
supplies. Russian officer named Colonel Massoyedof
was hanged for mparng information to the Germans and
General Soukhomlno sentenced to life imprisonment
for wreckng the national defence The facts concerning
these cases have already been related here.
Now it the contention of Wrestler George Zurich
and his friends that much of the information that ruined
the Russian armies reached Germany by way OF New
York During his experience of night life In this city
he became thoroughly familiar with the astonishing revels
of Russian officers and doubtful characters whom he
learned to be German Spies The patriotic Russian boiled
with indignation at what he discovered and he devoted
himself to exposing the intrigue 1t is said that he spent
thousands of dolars-he made small fortune while
