GERMAN GUNS RESUME HEAVY
 BOMBARDMENT- FANTRY USED
SLICK WOMAN UNDER ARREST
 AS A HUN SPY

NEW YORK, April 20 - United States agents today arrested Madame Marie k. de Victoria, believed to be enc of the most active German agents in the United States. For the past 15 months she has been active. Madame was arrested at a fashionable Long Island hotel and brought here as a dangerous enemy alien.
 Madame de Victoria is said to have come to the United States through Norway. She is 33 years of age, and handsome. When she arrived in New York she said that she was going to travel through the United States and look for her husband but the Federal authorities are convinced that her real mission was to spread propaganda among the Irish. She is said to have been the chief aide to Lieutenant Com mander of the German navy who came here in December, 1916, and worked among the Sim Fein sympath- izers thinking to get them to enlist in the British navy in order to plant bombs in war ships.
 Madame de VicCoria's maid has also been arrested and held as a material witness.
