There is more caturrn IN this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and for years it was sup
posed to be incurable. Doctors pre-
cribed local remedies, and by constantly
failing to cure by local treatment, pro-
nounced it incurable. Catarrh is
local disease, greatly influenced by con-
stitutional conditions, and therefore re-
quires constitutional treatment. Halls

But the other day there was arrested In Chat

at Chickamauga, and a central place In the great
iron and coal district of the South, the Baroness
Iona Zollner. On the western front in France her
husband was fighting in the ranks OF the German

and night bv night for a sign by which his men
might strike the allied forces. She was the daugh'

the American army who admitted that he mad

heart was in the locket Of the German officer on
the western front.
The beautiful woman had in her possession a
secret code book and letters that showed that she
had more than passing interest in what the
American army was engaged in. She was interned
at once by order Of the federal authorities.

The Wide Spell of Mischief

Among the plans of the band under her con.
troll was a mysterious scheme for getting wireless
communication with the great German plant at
Nauen, Germany, which used to work directly with
Sayvie before the navy took charge of the Amer.
lean station. As the narrative proceeds, the band
had big wireless station on one Of the lofty peaks
OF Mexico, and from it using the Godschmidt in.

watching stations at Arlington, Sayvllle, Pensa-
cola and on the ships at sea- was relaying to Nauen
the reports Of the spy collection.
And still further, they We're working through
Honolulu and the Orient, with the result OF get
ting connection through Russia to the German
people, making double, round-theworld scheme
of getting reports back to the grim gentlemen
who sit day by day in the Crosse general stan
office and peruse the comments of men and wom.
in all parts of the world
Under this mysterious womans spell the revolt
in India was hatched, and insurrecton WAS
planned against the British rule
There had already come many striking evil
dences of the woman spys work Miss Ida Null
lerthal, young, beautiful and bewitching, In love
with It, Johann Schorveder, an ambitious but
moneyless officer, had been caught in the act of
taking the fortifcation plans of Posen through the
lines.
For the love of her sweetheart she permitted
him to tattoo with india ink upon her beautiful
back the gun positions, the emplacements and the
munition stations Of the post.
In Brooklyn the authorities held I'D the mail ot
Arid Amundsen, pretty girl of 20 who was found

that no German officer might marry woman OF
foreign blood, and he decreed by the book Of eX-
pcrence in which he had delyed deeply while the
midnight oil burned without regard TO the oil
trusts revenue.
All of which leads one to consider the danger OF
the secret woman agent in our midst and she IS
present in every locality in America where there
is work TO be done for the winning OF the war
Her business is grim and sure.
II the young man in khaki, first mentioned IN
this story, had followed the will.o-the-wisp that
led him ON to the dance, he would have found her
late at night with man whose head had been
touched by the frost of time whose mind had not
been foggcd with wine, who merely waiting,
waiting, for the butterfly who was to bring, on her
golden wings the pollen Of Death. Ever, in the
unobtrusiye background Of the woman spy, is the
man with the thin, gray hair, whose knowledge OF
the world has been gained by living many years
among many people, and by studying for many
years what people did in the ages before he was
born.
The Importance Of this picture cannot be too
strongly painted. Gen. Pershng, in his latest or
der to the Americans in France warned against

The Ever Present Charmer

That is why the German female spy, dressed in
the last echo of the fashion, is the most dangerous
of all Of the elements of warfare that have been
brought to bear in the great struggle. And she is
by no means a creature of modern warfare. Wom-
en- dared and died for their loves in the old days,
when feuda barons rode at large, and left their
own homes, firesidos and blood kin to betray a
land for love. 1t is the fate of things Astute

lne artful conversation of the artless maid with
the young man in khaki came the direction OF
the torpedo that went on its fe-taldng mission.
In war truly, the female Of the species is more
deadly than the male.
In all of the annals of the great war that Is
shaking the world there is nothing half so fasci-
mating, nor yet half so strange, as the part that
the woman spy is playing in the gigantic game
that may remake the map of the world
In every great hotel in America, where the
wealth, the fashion and the soldier blood of the
particular locality come for display and for recre-
