Out Of 81 500.

Ossining, N Y.-Sing Sing prison

cheated out of 81 900. It was an "in-
side" job.
The trick was turned few days
before Warden Daniel J. Grant took
office Convicts employed In the
prison central Office, working in con-
junction with an outside criminal, re-
ceived an invoice sheet purporting to
come from firm dealing in WOODEN

a cargo of wooden material had been

factories. Convict clerks 20. KID"

Vouchers were sent to the mythical
wool merchant at Newark, who duly
countersigned them and sent them
back to the prison to receive payment
for his goods" Two checks, aggre-
eating about $1,000. were sent to the
imposter. Prison attaches learned
eventually that the whole transaction
was a fraud.

BLOND LADY AS

Beautiful Woman Who Beguiled
Unwary Into Giving Secrets

RELATIVE OF Won HEINRICH
At Her Headquarters in Antwerp She
Collected Information Which Was

londonderry details about the
life of the 'sblond-haired lady," who
served as a German chief of spies in
the war, have been given by colonel
in the French counter espionage sery-
ice who knew her well, according to
London Times Paris correspondent.
This colonel, who was then a cap
tain, spent some months during the
war at Antwerp and saw most of the
people who visited the sau1-, for it was
his duty to supply these visitors with
false information or true information
when too late to use. The chateau,
which the witnesses at Lille believed
to be outside Antwerp, was in reality
in the center of the city. 1t was no.

mains uncertain. She was fine wom-
an, being slim and unlike the major
ity of her fellow cOuntrywOmen. The
Frau Doktor, as she was addressed
by her colleagues, spoke French with
out a trace of q foreign accent and
showed by her manner and dress that
she had lived for long time in
France, and probably in Paris. She
used to address her agents with a
French cigarette between her lips,
leaning back seductively in large
armchair, She never spoke harshly,
but, on the contrary, in sweet, even
tones, no doubt gaining much which

air of brutality.

Two men lived in the chateau"
with her, man who posed as an Eng
fish fop with monocle pretending to
be a journalist on a London paper,
and an officer of the German G. H. Q.
The fop, the French colonel states,
was the proprietor of a hotel in the
same boulevard de la Loi, and the
German officer, Keffer by name, had
as his last duty the control of the in
formation upon the allies submarine
bases at Calais and Dunkirk, and the
numbers and changes in the north of
France The blond-haired lady, be-
sides using part of her time in be-
quilting poor unfortunates into betray-
ing their countrymen, collated her in
formation before forwarding it to Ger

GIVE UP OLD WINDMILLs
Quaint Structures in Holland Being
Replaced by Practical Modern
Power Plants.

observation-disclosures is slowly but
surely losing the one characteristic OF
it's landscape made famous in art and
known to every schOolboy-the squat
fat, lazy looking windmills. that for
centuries have stood out all, over the
country's fiat surface.
These quaint structures are gradual
ly giving way to highly practical but
ugly steam and electric plants. Dutch
technical men say the windmill is
doomed.
Now and then a large group of them
is replaced by one electric plant, and
In the course of each year a number
are destroyed by presenting a
spectacular blaze with the big burning
wings wheeling around like fiery arms.
They are never reconstructed.
The existing type of Dutch windmill
was invented about the year 400. The
great disadvantage of the windmill, of
course, it its absolute dependence on
weather conditions. For this reason
it is being replaced; when possible, by
modern machinery.
The Dutch windmill, however much
it may look in pictures to be toy,
is far from that. 1t is a sturdy struc-
ture, as big as a good sized house, and
the machinery inside is extremely pow
erful
Naturally great many of them re-
main, but the number becomes less

PLAN WAR ON FRANCE
Germany Said to Be Preparing
for Next Conflict.
Time Will Bring on Clash, Is Word
Of Old and Young of
the Nation.

Berlin.-Germany is preparing for
its next war;
And France is the intended victim.
Just when this attack on the French
is to take place has not been settled
in the German mind-but every Ger
man, no matter what his age or sIa-
ton, says that time is coming maybe
thirty.
But even if there is doubt as to the
exact time of Germany's effort to
avenge the loss of the world war, there
does not seem to be felt the least
doubt that vengeance win be visited
upon the French and that Germany
WILDE successful in the attempt.
: Germany is not forging arms or
making mentions with that end in
view Just now, for that would be i'm
possible. But through propaganda of
the most poisonous kind the fire of
hatred is being kindled in the German
mind.
Every German / met voiced to me
lis Latred of France Every misfor
tune the Germans have met with has
been laid to the door of the French.
Premier Clemenceau is hated in Ger
many as no other man ever was.
The mere mention of his name brings
forth direct threats of what is to
happen to France.
The evil prOpagandist is doing his
work well. He is reaching not only
the mind of the adult German, but his
polsor is sinking deep into the mind
of the rising generation.
Even young boys give rise to their
hatred and tell how, when they grow
up, they will drive the. Frenchman
from conquered German territory and
destroy the French nation.
Germany soon will be stronger than
France. despite our present condition.
said a German student to me few
days ago. "Then France had better
watch out"

bonds and coupons had been found in
safe deposit vault of Hallowell
banking concern Of which the late Mr..
Spauiding made use of the vault for
the storing Of his papers and bonds
He pointed out that as the deceased
had small business that was suffi-
cient for his needs, and probably not
requiring ready cash, had never pre-
scented the bonds for payment. The
attorney cited instance wherein Mr..
Spaulding had allowed bank deposits
remain unchanged for years after in =
terest or premiums ceased to accrue.
He admitted the limitation as a bar
to legal proceedings toward collect
ing. but expressed the opinion that
the city was morally bound. in thst
it had the use of the money for a
period of about % years without in
terest. which in itself would amount
TO nearly the face value Of the bonds
and coupons.
Mayor Clarke explained that the
bonds had been carried for 20 years
q city debt chargeable to the sinking
fund. but at the end Of that time had
been charged off,. thus the city
treasurer could not be authorized to
redeem the bonds without q vote OF
the city council.
The order was finally given a pas
sage without a dissenting vote. au-
thorizins the city treasurer to redeem
the bonds and coupons for their val
ue $500.
