London. Feb. 22.--More details
about the life of the blonde
lady" who served as a German CHIEF
of spies in the war have been given
by . colonel in the French counter
espionage service who knew her
we'll.
This colonel, who was then cap
tain, spent some months during the
war at Antwerp, and saw most OF
the people who visited the lady, for
it wcs his duty to supply these visit
tors with false information or with
tree information, when too late for
use. The chateau, which the wit
nesses at Lille believed to be outside
Antwerp. was in reality ir the center
Of the city. 1t was hotel III the
1 Boulevard de Ia Loi, majestic
building which those who were
. brought to it blindfolded in motor
car with drawn blinds might we!
lave taken for chateau in the coun-
tryside.
Related to General. ~
The blonde was certainly rela-
tive Of General Won Heinrich, though
the exact relationship still remains
uncertain. She was fine woman,
being slim and unlike the majority
Of her fellow countrywomen. The
frau doktor, as she was addressed
by her colleagues. spoke French
without trace OF foreign accent,
and showed by her manner and dress
tiat she had lived for a long time
in France. and probably in Paris.
She used to address her -gents
with French cigaret between her
lips, leaning back seductively in a
large armchair. She never spoke
harshly, but, on the contrary, in
sweet, even-tones, no doubt gaining
much which her masculine confed-
crates Of the German general staff
lost through their air OF brutality. :
Two Men in Chateau
Two women lived in the chateau
with her, a man who posed as an
English fop withia monocle, pretend
ing to be . journalist on London
paper, and an officer of the German
general Headquarters. The fop, the
French colonel states, was the pro-
lprietor of a hotel in the same Bou-
kyard de Ia Loi, and the German Of
fccr, Keffer by name. had as his
first duty the controfof information
upon the allies submarine bases at
Calais and Dunkirk, and the NUM-
sbers and changes in the movement
OF orr armies in the north of'France.

must teach more OF the broad moral
principles. We want to teach in our
schools at all times a spirit of truth,
of fair play. the square deal, honesty
and loyalty. good citizenship. All
Of these ought to be built up in the
school room"
He said he believed that the
Americanization of the alien as well
as some native-born is one of the
great tasks before this country.
"We want to get rid of the red
element. ship it out, prevent any
more from coming in, and take hold
Of the problems Of Americanization

ers,' he added. Teach them to
love the flag. We want to stand for
one language in our public schools.
We should build up an intense
American spirit, and we should have
behind that spirit an American con-
science. a conscience Which will
make this nation do its duty when
ever called upon to do it, and do it
promptly"

caused by small stone Tipped from
