Thus equipped Nine de Victoria appeared in
Paris, where she adopted the name Nine de Vus-
siere She is said to have been exceedingly
friendly with various statesmen in Paris Lon
don Madrid and Rome always turning these
friendships to account for Germany when they
could supply her with information or aid her in
influencing diplomatic affairs.
Just before her start for America Nine de
Victoria was married to a Chilean, Jose Vic.
torla, at Hamburg, Germany. This marriage, it
has been learned, was arranged by the chiefs of
the German spy system that she might enter the
United States and remain here as long as she
wished as the wife of a subject of Chile, neutral
nationO friendly to the United States. 1t was
after this marriage she adopted the name de Vic
torla She was supplied with passports which
gained her admittance to this country as the
wife of a Chilean.
In the band of which the government soon
found Nine Storch to be the centre there were
also a number of foreign men, Count de Clere-
mont, Count de Beville and various others, nearly
all of whom now are safe in prison. These men,
aided by the veneer of extravagant manners in
digenous to the cosmopolitan cities of Europe
found easy access to social circles which were
fruitful fields for their nefarious schemes
DR. Walter T Scheele and the German fnan.

now are in a Federal penitentiary, paying for
their plots to place bombs aboard ships carrying
supplies for the allies. It was around them the

ernment agents have discovered that Nine. de
Victoria associate of Nine. Nix and Nine StOrch,
had been working among Sim Fem sympathizers
to persuade some of them to enlist IN the English
navy that they might place bombs on British
warshlps Her plans were almost identical with
those followed by Won Rintelen and DR. Scheele,
proving that they emanated from the same mas
ter plotter
When the Federal officials began their hunt
along the trail OF Nine Storch the general pub
lie did not realize the extent of the German spy
system In America, and knew little of the Ger.

Attorney Peter C. Cannon, of Rhode Island.
The principal members Of this band were women
Of Nine Storehs type At the head Of this
organization was a young German baroness,
who, it is evident prepared the way for Nine.
Storch to take up the work later.
This baroness maintained homes in small
Massachusetts, town. not far from Boston, and
also in neighbOrhOOd close to Fort Ethan
Allen, in Vermont. She was familiar figure
at the Ritz Carlton and Waldorf hotels, in New
York City. At these homes she received regu.

times in person and sometimes by courier, from
her subordinates throughout the East She
learned from these just what was going on IN

for the purpose of moulding public opinion
1t was this enormous supply of money of which
Ambassador Gerard speaks that supported the
lavish extravagances of Nine. Storch, that per-

within, TO bend to the pretty feet of which she
was so proud the men from whom she hoped to
lure service for her masters at Berlin.
The full, amazing details of the plotting in
which Nine. Storch was engaged in this country
are locked away in the files of the Department
of Justice at Washington. They are of such a
startling nature that the government has thought
best to keep their full import from the public
as a matter of preOautiOn until after the war.

Important sealed letters are opened by spies
as follows: By inserting pencil or small round
object in the envelopes, steamed little if neces
sary, the envelope is opened at the end of the
flap and the contents pulled out without dis
turbing the seal. The contents are then read,
put in their place again, the end flap renserted,
little gum used and the envelope is intact as
before.
"The only safe way to seal an envelope is by
use Of five seals, one-on each corner and one in
the centre of the back of the envelope.
Even then clever spy can open the letter,
read the contents and seal it again This
is done by cutting through the seals with
hot razor. The divided seals are then
united by pressing the hot razor against
each side of the cut and then pressing the
two parts of the cut seal together.
