Great mystery surrounds the op-

drug smugglers, with headquarters
in Paris, Amsterdam and New York.
who have been just uncovered by
agents of the secret service.
The transaction of the ring, which
is said to be dominated by French
countess, was characterized last
night by Col. w. l.. Mutt, chief of
the narcotic division, Bureau of In
ternal Revenue, as the most exten-
sive ever known in the United States.
Col. Mutt refused to discuss the
case further on the ground tnat It
might interfere with important de-
velopments abroad. These, it is ex-
rected, will take the form of arrests
OF leaders in HOllPnd and France.
Discovery followed an attempt by
woman, reputed to be countess
and bearing famous Holland
name to bring a big package of
drugs into New York three weeks
ago. She waa found by the auIhori-
ties shortly after landing. told all

The woman took the charges ad-
vice, so far as the lawyers were
concerned. for when she appeared
Mt the narcotic bureau early this
" eek she was accompanied by two
o. them. She wore number of
medals which she stated had been
awarded to her for distinguished
service in connection with the Red

Her story, so far as it can be
learned. is to the effect that drugs
found in her possession were hand

for delivery to the French countess
IT. New York. She has named both
o' them to the Federal officials
The authorities refused to disclose
the identity of the noblcman who,
