who. in her despair and desolauon,
behind the walls Of an English penal
prison, appeal vainly for for a last
glimpse Of the man she loved before
he went TO his doom.
The Sunday Express is now able TO
sketch the story and tell something
about the record Of two Of the most
remarkable figures in the German
secret service
Man and Woman.
The man was a fair cOmplexioned,
dashing young officer from the VII
helmstrasse who came to England In
August, 1914. and posed under the
name Of Reginald Rowlands-
The woman who was his associate
in espionage was known as Lizzie
Wertheim. the daughter-in-law OF a
naturalized German subject who for
merly held an important post in the
British diplomatic service.
She had lived in this country for
some years. and long before the out
break of war was engaged IN inter-
national espionage and intrigue. Liz
zie Wertheim was the queen Of the
German secret service, a gifted &C
complished,, daring, subtle woman
and when Scotland Yard arrested
her herr Steiner, the directing
genius Of the German intelligence
system. lost one Of his most valuable
and resourceful agents
Lizzie Wertheim may be described
as the handspring of German espioa-
age in Great Britain Her record Is
sensational. and, with Rowlands. she
went wiahin an ace OF bringing off
one Of the most thrilling spy coups
OF the war
Worked Openly.
Lizzie Wertheim, a plain looking,
saIlow complexioned woman about
81 years Of age. with distinguishing
features, shared a small fiat in the
Hammersmith road with Miss
Brandes, a German private secretary
who was recently deported-
II was at this fiat, the top one IN
a large block close to Hammersnith
broadway. that Lizzie Wertheim re-
ceived all her instructions from
Steiner. She had a heavy mail every
week and correspondence reached
her from Berlin, Brussels, Antwerp
and various parts of Holland
In the neighbOrhOOd she was a
familiar figure. Her dress was dis
tfnctive. and she invariably wore the
latest Partisan models Several times

NOTHING TO FEAR.

- HE United States has nothing to fear OF
Great Britain's naval power. The chances
Of war between the two English-speaking
peoples have been growing more and more re-
mote, and surely what has happened during the
past four years has reduced those chances almost
to the realm of impossibility.
"For some excited theorist to advance the sug
gestion, Immediately after each nation has fin
ished saving the others life, that Great Britain
must be disarmed at once in order to safeguard
our future is equivalent to charging that the lea
dership of each nation is made up of more hope
less cases of mental delinquency than are to be
found in its institutions for the Of the insane
"The British Fleet didn't disturb us so much
during our wars with Great Britain. Tt was a
comforting assurance to us in 1898, when Ger
kman admiral was unfriendly and old Chichester
told Dewey in Manila Bay that he was there.
"And in the dark days which have just ended
nothing contributed more to our feeling of sec
urity as we of America retired to sleep at night
than the knowledge that the Union Jack floated
from the masts of more than thousand ships
and that the decks below, bristling with innumer-
able guns. were cleared for action. Houston

HIM WE HONOR.

We know of no person in the realm OF our
acquaintance so prone as is Frank Clague to give
roses to the living rather than to wait 20 put
the wreath upon the bier. Therefore there was
a fitting justice II the gathering together OF his
friends here last Thursday evening to do him
honor because of his election as Judge of the
Ninth judicial District, an office which he assum-
ed Monday of this week. We as citizens and re-
sidents Of Judge Clague's home town know him
and honor him as those living outside the circle
of his friendships cannot know him. We know
him and are proud of him as statesman who
served in the law-making bodies of his state,
served faithfully and well, was accorded the re-
spect of his many co-workers and accomplished
much for his state we know him and admire him
as an attorney who has worked always for the
good of his clientele, for the fulfllment of law
and for its liberal Interpretation; but we know
him and love him for the things he has done as
a man. as a friend of the people of Redwood Falls
and Redwood County. No case has been too
small for Frank Clague to attend to if it We're
a case worthy of an attorney; no case has been
large enough to attract him if it were unworthy
no public project which was worthy of his help
has ever gone unhelped; no individual claimed
his attention but was given friendly considera-
ton and the sympathetic fellowship which is SO
great factor in setting things straight. Loved
by his friends, respected by his enemies who are
practically absorbed by the largeness OF the friend
ships, Judge Clague has proved anew, in his sue
cess in the last campaign, that he is of, and with
for, the people of the five counties that have
p14 ed him in the highest position they can COM
mand Perhaps of the highest compliments
which can be paid Judge Clague was that made
by one of the speakers at the Thursday night
meeting who declared him a worthy successor to
Judge I Ne. Olsen, who has administered the judi
cial affairs of the district for the past II years

As a woman the editor of the Gazette asks the
people of the United States or a. least the few
hundred OF them that we can reach, 20 regard
certain doings of the sex who at present mo-

but with discrimination. We ask that thinking
people measure the distance that lies between
those .ouch-and-go creatures who are making
stand for cheap publicity, and the real women
workers Of the country who are seeking equal
suffrage, not as an ends, but as means 20 be
used inaobtaining certain reforms and movements
which the woman-vision sees somewhat more

most to prolong The fight between the sexes and
the disgusting proceedings Of the past week
have brought very real grief to the serious
minded women who refuse to resort 20 camou-

tactics Or to ! false chivalry. Not with toler-
alton, Oh, brethrenl but with discrimination

Has anyone copy of Nietzsche on his library
shelf? We have no desire 20 borrow it but we
are just wondering if there is still extant anyone
who would appreciate the German philosopher. We
recall, several months ago, having very gorge
GUS bonfire in backyard when, with proper
ceremony we burned our treasured copies of
Nietzsche and Kant's Critique of Pure Reason.
All things mus. now be interpreted through the
terms of the war-and such Interpretation leaves
small place for the German philosophy, science or
Kultur. If the war has accomplished no other
thing it has set of rs straight on the simple
understanding of the God-power and made it i'm
possible for ever again to accept or offer SUBJ
stitutes for it.

THE HOMEsICK SOLDIER.
by Captain Adams !

If I could only be home again
Oh, the time that I've been away!
Oh. the weary months that have passed
since when
I sailed from the u. $. Al
/ wonder what should do if
Were back in the LAID OF joy.
I'd take the loftiest hills on high,
And I'd probably shout: "Oh, boy!'
I'd probably tear for Broadway show,
And make for Turkish bath;
And something tells me that should go
For stroll on the Great White Path.
I'd sleep in a regular Pullman berth;
I'd live in a flat with steam;
And at breakfast I'd have six dollars worth
Of coffee with regular cream
d ssaoke lengthy and black cigar;
I'd drive to well-knowa beach
On dustless road in joltless car
With a favorite faultless peach
I think that I'd do these things sublime
In the Western Hemisphere.
But know that I'd put in most of the time
Wishing to be back here.

Not only virtue is its own reward but from looks
of the boys who have returned from military
service or military training, soldering, also con-
tains compensations. Every boy looks as fit
as possible physically, and most of them have de-
veloped a length and breadth which should be
most gratifying to admirers of fine physiques.
There are few rare ones among them who tell
of 'poor grub, long hours of work and other
hardships but, b'gorry they sure don't look it!
And most of them acknowledge, like the .rue
American citizens they are, that Uncle Sam takes
mighty good care of his own and that the train
ing and experience was the biggest thing that
has ever happened to them. All the world loves
uniform these days and the way the thing fits
adds greatly to the admiration.
