Food Situation in Northern
Russia Is Cause of Alarm

Archangel, March 12.-(By the
Associated Press 1.-The food situa-
ton in northern Russia is causing
some concern. In the district be-
tween Archangel and Omega, where
a heavy frost late last summer killed
even the Arctic summer berries, the
people have already eaten the ration
fixed for next June. American army
surgeons have analysed the civilian
ration for the entire population in
the north Russia district and found
that it contains only 1,l56 calories
daily. A man doing no work needs
l,770 and soldiers receive at least
$500 Galleries daily. The civilian ra-
ton, according to surgeons, may be
sufficient to sustain life through the
winter, but the people will be draw
ing on their reserve strength, ex-
posing themselves to danger from
disease.

KOREANS REBEL

Thousands Arrested for TAX

Movement; Await Leagues
Recognition.

Picking, March 12.-The indepen-
dence movement in Korea is becom-
ing more widespread, according to
reports from private resources in
that country. Trouble was anticipat-
ed on the occasion of the funeral
of Prince vi, and the Japanese call
ed in gendarmerie from outlying
stations. Forestalling this. the
Korean national leaders arranged
the independence day demonstra-
tons two days earlier, catching the
Japanese unprepared.
Eventually the situation was re-
stored, but not before thousands
had been arrested.
The Korean independence mani
festo calls upon the people to rise
and make a peaceful demonstration
of their independence, but under no
circumstances to use force. The
document is dignified in tone.
Students of the Ping Yang Pres
byterian theological school were
seized stripped and tied to rough
wooden crosses, which they were
obliged to carry through the city,
their Japanese captors saying that as
their father had borne the cross,
they too should have the privilege
of bearing it.
The Koreans demand that Japan's
advisory control shall continue only
until such time as the league of ma
tons considers the Koreans abso-
lute1y fit for self-government.

Need Extensive Repairs.
Washington. March l2.-Oficial
information has reached the State
department that the German ships
laid up in Chilean waters have been
allocated to the United States by
the supreme war council at Paris.
Officials said today that these vessels
had All aggregate tonnage of more
than 100000, but that probably not
more than three or four of them
could be put into service within
several months, as most Of them
need extensive repairs.
Title to these vessels as well as

transferred to France and those in

United States will be determined by

London, March l2.-From out the
maze of thrilling entente spy stories
there looms one master mind"-a
4 woman.
She is Miss Irene Westermann.
From the outbreak of the war this
mysterious and fascinating woman,
whose gifts made her a welcome
guest in German homes, CLEANED
from German high officials informa-
ton of the greatest value to the
allies.
| According to the Germans own
story. she obtained and passed to
agents of the entente information re-
garding Germany's construction of
submarines, the latest type of air
planes and the new gun, which the
Germans had invented to deal with
the tanks.
What the German high command
evidently felt most of all was the
fact that when they had arranged for
the preparation of a new poison gas,
which was to be greater surprise
to the allies than the first gas, this
mystery spy obtained the formula in
some way and passed it on to the
allies. The result was that work was
begun on a new type of respirator,
and when the gas was used it proved
a great failure.
She had established a very wide
connection and gave lessons to the
children of some of the best known
families in Germany. She was a
teacher of music in Berlin before the
war and spoke German so we'll and
had acquired the outward appear
ance of the typical German girl to
such an extent that no one took her
for anything else but German.
Her cleverness has just been
brought to light through German
documents found by British authori-
ties at the headquarters of the Ger
man high command at Spa.
Price on Her Head.
Despite a price of $1,000 on her
head she worked successfully
throughout the whole of Germany
during the four years of war, even
associating with and obtaining in
formation from the very German
secret service wizards" who were
trying to capture her.
1t was not until the eve of the
armistice-in October, 19l8-that |
the. Berlin secret service got on her
track. But when they went to her
apartment to arrest her she had
flown and is now enjoying we'll
earned rest in a quiet village in
Scotland.
The first hint of the existence of
such a clever agent of the entente
came to the German secret service
in the early part of 1915, when they
were warned that a lady was OBJ
tanning very important information
and passing it to suspected agents in
neutral countries.
Major Weissmann, Germany's spy
expert, made a six months search
throughout Germany, but finally
confessed failure to locate her
Weissmann appears to have been
among the last to suspect the
charming Miss Westermaun, who
was a personal friend CT his and
actually on several occasions dis
eusscd with him the mystery of the
woman spy who was battling the
best brains of the German secret
service.
