PARIS MERRY WIDOW
 EXECUTED AS SPY
Alleged to Have Entered Into Agree ment to Sell Military Infor-
 nation to Enemy.

Paris, May 31 Correspondence of the Associated Press) Brief an nouncement has just been made that a Paris court martial has condemned to death as a spy Madame M, 37 years old. Her son, Noel, 16 years old, who was accused of being her accomplice, was ordered to be sent to a penitentiary colony until he comes of age. The court believed he was too young to be held responsible for his acts.
 As the case was not heard in pub lic only 8 few details have become e known, such as that Madame MS husband was killed at the front in March, 1916, and that the wife soon started a life that earned her, in the circles she frequented, the name of ",The Merry Widow'. She soon ran through the money she inherited and, to obtain more, communicated with a Greek living in Spain, an agent of the spy bureau established in Barce- Iona by the Germans.
 When mother and son were arrest ed the boy was just about to engage in the aviation service in order to ob- tain information to be supplied to Germany.

GERMAN FLEET ID
 ENGAGE IN BATTLE
Expected to Test Strength With
 Allies in North Sea

Washington, June 12-Further evi- dence that Germany, in it's efforts to end the war this summer, is planning to support it's land offensive by send ing it's high seas forces against the com bined British and American grand fleet, is given in an official dispatch from Switzerland.
 "A telegram of an official nature, says the dispatch, lis being spread broadcast in Germany, which says that the German admiralty IS con- sidering big naval offensive. Or ders are supposed to have been given to keep the whole fleet in readiness, and a certain number of naval off, cers of high rank have been recalled from Switzerland and other neutral countries, where they have been spending their leaves.
 "The Kieler Zeitung speaks of ex traordinary activity in the ports, and the Hamburger Post publishes an in terview with Von Tirpitz, who was asked if Germany was in a position to measure herself with the English fleet The admiral naturally replied in the affirmative, saying that after their land forces have pushed the French and English back on the OCn0T S1Oe or EarlS, IL WILL De Iuo turn of the Kaiser's boats to drive the English off the high seas.'
 Both in Washington and in the AL lied capitals a German sea offensive on @ grand scale long has been re- garded as a possibility, and the ap- pearance of the Teutonic fleet in the North Sea at any time would not be unexpected. Rear Admiral Gleaves said in a public address not long ago that word had come to the British fleet that the Germans at last were ready for the supreme test.
 If the battle does come American naval forces will play their part. American dreadnaughts under Rear Admiral Hugh Rodman joined the British fleet some time ago, and Ad- miral Gleaves in his recent address said that when Admiral Beatty, com manding the British grand sea forces heard that the Germans were coming, he assigned the American ships to a prominent place in the line.
 American naval officers are no less anxious for a finish fight with the enemy than are the British. In all allied quarters there is supreme confidence of the outcome. Once the two fleets come to grips, officials are certain that the Germans will be de- cisively defeated.
