General Baden Powell, of the British Army,
the founder Of tho boy Scouts" has given
some interesting details Of the methods Of
making secret drawings Of fortresses in his
look, "My Adventures as Spy"
Ability to draw we'll is valuable accom-
plshment of spy. When he wishes to
take an exact map Of fortress he may, for
instance, draw well-executcd picture of
butterfly, with plenty of peculiar markings
on it's wings. These markings indicate quite
clearly to one who is in the secret the num-
Der of guns in fortress, their size and ar
rangcment.
The drawing Of stained glass window Of
intricate pattern has served to hide an as
tonishng amount Of information about a
fortress.
The kind Of fortresses General Baden
Powell described have become Of little i'm
portance during tho present war. 1t was

A EUROPEAN dispatch reports the seiz-
~ ure Of woman spy carrying military
- secrets from allied countries con-
cealed on the skin of her back.
The secret message which contained i'm
portant military information intended for
Germany, was written in invisible ink The
French Secret Service agents detected it's
presence by close scrutiny and found the
method of developing it after long series
of tests.
This episode illustrates we'll the extraordi-
nary ingenuity which is employed by the
German General Staff in organizing spy work
and gathering military secrets from allied
countries. Hundreds Of thousands Of per-
sons are probably employed in this work
and every imaginable method of smuggling
information back to Germany is tried On
the other hand, the allied officers are equally
alert in hunting spies and have their own
methods of gathering information.
The female skin offers an unusually dan
gerous channel Of communication. A chival-
rous allied officer might hesitate to infict
humiliation on woman and would be very
apt to overlook such place of concealment.
In such cases not only is the message written
in invisible ink but it is also in secret code.
It is therefore hidden behind perfect net
work of defences
Many kinds Of invisible writing are known
to science, and most, IF not all, of these can
be practised on the human skin. It should
be remembered that one of the earliest forms
of writing neutrality-suspicious. made
of animal skin, and that the human skin
does not differ greatly from this.
For every form Of invisible writing there
is an appropriate method of development
The "secret service or Intelligence" Off
Ger who is entrusted with the work Of catch
ing spies and detecting secret messages must
be an expert chemist, scientific criminolo-
gist and an advanced student Of military
affairs. He must be able to detect every kind
of secret writing.
There are a number Of colorless substances
that may be used as inks which become visi-
BILE on the application Of heat only.
Lemon juice will turn yellow on exposure
to the fire. A very weak solution of aqua
forts, oil Of vitrol, common salt or saltpetre
will turn yellow or brown on exposure to
heat.
weak solution of chloride Of cobalt and
chloride Of nickel is turned beautiful green
by heat.
A solution of acetate Of cobalt, with lit
cobalt turns green when heated and disap-
pears on cooling.
A dilute solution Of chloride Of copper be-
comes a fine yellow at moderate heat and
disappears on cooling.
A solution of acetate Of cobalt with lit
tie nitrate added to it, turns rose-colored
when heated and disappears again when
cold.
A very efficient form Of secret writing is
made with solution of acetate Of lead

of little value against modern artillery. Their
place has been taken by vast earthworks
spread over great territory which can be
modified to suit the changing conditions Of
the struggle.
Information concerning these works are,
of course, eagerly desired by the enemy and,
while aeroplanes are perhaps principally de-
pended on, drawings struggled out of the
country in one way or another still play an
important part in military spy work
Many reports from Europe indicate that
women have done much Of the most danger
Gus and daring spy service during the war.
A great deal Of mystery surrounds the sub
ject Neither side cares to advertise the
methods which have been successful in snug
Cling military intelligence. It was an
nounced, for instance, that Matahari, a
utch-Oriental dancer, had been executed
for espionage in France. Newspaper reports
credited her with having secured early infor-
nation concerning the construction Of the
British tanks" and with conveying it to
the Germans
She had had long career Of successful
and daring espionage lasting probably for
two years. She made her headquarters in
Paris, but made frequent trips to England.
Then she made journeys to Holland and to
Spain, and it was evidently Mt these times
that she conveyed much of her information
to the Germans. 1t is reasonable to believe
that she carried code messages secretly writ
ten on her skin.
Women Of the type who are hired az spies
show themselves extraordinarily daring and
rcsourceful. They are quicker than mcp at
throwing pursuers off the scent, more ready
with excuses and better able to avert sus-
picion. An outburst of tears, due to thoughts
of the loved ones at home, will often drive
all suspicious out Of the mind Of the officer
whose duty it is to look for spies.
Women have also great and wonderful
capacity for concealing documents. They
have been known to hide them in the heels
of their shoes, under their hair, in the lining
of their corscts and in other strange places.
There are millions Of persons passing be-
tween neutral and bclligerent countries and
every one has some possibility of conveying
military information of importance. TO pre-
vent their operations taxes the limit OF
human ingenuity The Swiss, for instance,
are able to watch military operations in four
warning countries Air, water and the depths
of the earth are used as channels OF secret
communication

MILLION TONS OF DUTCH
SHIPS ARE TAKEN OVER
England and America, Tired
of Waiting on Holland
Take Action

LONDON. March 14.-Because of the
long delays in the negotiations with
Holland over Dutch ships in allied
ports and the slowness of the Dutch
government to act in this respect. Great
Britain and the United states nave
reached an agreement TO end the nego-
tis.ions and take over all such ships
next week fer the use Of the allies.
The amount OF tonnage made avail
able to the allies through the Dutch
arran cement is one million tons, OF
which 20 per cent is in the United
states q per cent in British ports, and
is per cent in other allied ports.
Every precaution will be taken To
sa feguard the rights Of the owners. Tne
ships will be insured and armed ana
any ships sunk will be replaced at The
earliest possible time after the war.
A similar arrangement already made
in the case of Sweden is working salts
factorily to the Swedish owners and
shipping interests.
The allied decision finds a legal basis
in the Lex Angaria- or the law covering
the fcrcible seizure OF a ship for pubic
use under which a belligerent nation
may use neutral tonnage III adequate
compensation is paid. The Germans ex-
ercised this right on British vessels in
the Franco-Prussian war.

ports in Great Britain and the United
states it is believed the arrangement in
cIudes a number of such vessels in FAR
eastern ports. A telegram from The
Hague yesterday stated that the Dutch
foreign office had learned that ciearances
had been refused to several Dutch YES
sells at Singapore.
The negotiations with Holland have
been in progress for many months and
il was expected an arrangement would
be reached last Christmas. The Ger
mans, however. were continually bring
ing pressure to bear upon Holland and
the delay in reaching an agreement op-
Grated continuously to the advantage of
Germany and to the disadvantage of the
allies.
Realizing the difficult position of Hol-
land the allies decided to force an i'm
mediate settlement. While Germany has
been obstructing the employment of
Dutch tonnage by the allies she has
been enjoying the use of Dutch barge
tonnage on the German canals to an
amount greater than the ocean-going
tonnage which the allies will obtain
under the new ARRANGEMENT.
