The secret writing may be series of code

ously conceals some details of a fortress.
General Baden Powell, of the British Army,
the founder of the Boy Scouts - has given
some interesting details of the methods of
making secret drawings of fortresses IN his
cook my Adventures as a Spy"
Ability to draw well is a valuable accom-
plishment of spy When he wishes TO
take an exact map of fortress he may, for
instance draw well-executed 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
rangement
The drawing of a stained glass window of
intricate pattern has served to hide an as
tonishing amount of information about
fortress

chance of escaping detection during the

to confscate all papers on the person of

4 EUROPEAN dispatch reports the seiz-
"A 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 d long series
of tests.
This episode illustrates well the extraOrd-
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 infiict
humiliation on a 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
1t is therefore hidden behind perfect net
work of defences
Many kinds of invisible writing are known
10 science, and most, if not all, of these can
be practised on the human skin. 1t should
be remembered that one of the earliest forms
of writing -parchment-was 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, a scientific criminolo-
gist and advanced student of military
affairs. He must be able TO detect every kind
of secret writing.
There are number of colOrleSs substances
that may be used as inks which become visi-
bic on the application of heat only.

A sympathetic ink is one that becomes

Contour of the Main Fortihcations
proved early in the war that the elaborate
fixed constructions of steel and concrete were
of little value against modern artillery. Their
place has been taken by vast earthworks
spread over a 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
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 Matahar a
Dutch-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 II 10
the Germans
She had had a long career Of successful
and daring espionage lasting probably for
two years She made her headquarters in
Paris, but made frequent trips to Enga dd.
Then she made journeys to Holland and 10
Spain. and it was evidently at these times
that she conveyed much of her information
to the Germans. II is reasonable to believe
that she carried code messages secretly writ
ten on her skin.
Women of the type who are hired as spies
show themselves extraordinarily daring and
resourceful They are quicker than men at

OF the loved ones at home, viii often drive

Women have also a 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 corsets and in other strange places
There are millions Of persons passing be
tween neutral and belligerent countries and
every one has some possibility Of conveying

'BARRY'S OUTFIT
AT LIGHTHOUSE
Big Leaguers to Play Brook
Ign Navy Yard Team Sun
day Afternoon.

New Haven, May 17-Jack Barry's
nine, the strongest in any Naval sta
ton in the world, will play at Light
house Point, New Haven, Sunday It
will meet the Brooklyn Navy Yard
team, which is exceptionally strong,
and which the past week easily de-
feated the Pelham Bay team, 6 to 1.
Barry's team contains more than
a dozen former American and Ma
tiona1 League players and is ranked
as strong as any major league COM
bination now existing. 1t has defeat
ed by one-sided scores such teams the
Camp Devens cantonment and the
Harvard University teams. 1t met
Camp Devens before more than 40,-
900 people in Braves Field, the Bos-
ton National League grounds, two
weeks ago, and before $4,000 people
Worcester, on Holy Cross Field, last
Sunday.
According to navy order announc-
ed by Admiral Wood of the Boston
Naval district, the team will not be
allowed to play at games where gate
receipts are taken. Its only chance to
meet its expenses will be from the
sale of score cards and it is expected
that from this source alone enough
will be announced to pay the expenses
of the two teams and to allow the
Boston and Brooklyn mines to take
home a neat sum which will be de-
voted to the purchase of baseball
equipment for the boys who are in
these two Naval stations. Thousands
are preparing for sea duty at both
places and money is not available for
enough bats and balls for them to en-
joy the national game in their off
hours
Barry formed his nine with the
patriotic intention of devoting it's
earning to the purchase of baseball
equipment for his fellow Marines.
The fact that he is a former Meriden
boys will bring one of the largest
crowds which ever assembled at
Lighthouse Point, it is believed.
Barry's nine has not been defeated
this season.

Eddie Ainsmith has caught every in
ming Of every game played by the
Washington club this season, and I'M
less put out of the game by severe .in-
jury will continue to play in the hope
of setting up a new record or equal
ling the old mark. For several years
Ainsnith divided the work behind the
bat with John Henry, now with the
Boston Braves, but at the present
time Ainsmith is the only experienced
and dependable catcher on Griffith's
payroll. He is hard and wiling work
err, hence his ambition to stay in the
game. Griffith is willing to permit
him to stay, but will make no prom

vantageous to take Ainsmith out at
certain times.
