meaning is that he is out on bail
but must stand trial and has not
much hope of being freed.
This letter from MAUD" to Mrs

invisible writing which included the
following:

you judge best. The works for OBJ

capital should preferably be invested
in docks over there, but the firm
must become known to the banks as
stockholder in shirbuildng COM
panies. Your .rish friends will
surely not lose che opportunity Of
speculating In such a good thins.
It will therefore be all the easier
for these friends to play dummy for
my firm in this affair. Remittances
are on the way. Furthermore, suffi-
cient credit has been opened for you
in the South American branch COM

cation with South America.

that he has entirely recovered and

to have come at the right moment,

meant that he was again on the job.
Subterfuge of Crooks
Such references as these are used
by people Of the underworld gener-
ally. For instance, when crook in
a penitentiary gets letter that a
friend is seriously ill and has to go
to the hospital it usually means that
he has been arrested and will have
to remain In jail for some time. II

Was Always Cautious
1t is to be noticed that even ir
this invisible writing the real mean.
ing is cautiously veiled. The men,
ton of business affairs Of South
America means spy activities there
Reference to investing capital in
great war industries, docks, and SO
forth, means plans for interfering
with war industries. Where it speaks
of the Irish friends not losing the
opportunity of speculating in such
a good thing, the idea was that the
Irish who were pro-German would
desire to help along the German in.
terests. The significance Of the SEN
tence about credit having been
opened in South American branches
is obvious enough. Germany was
trying to placate Argentina at that
time, so business" was to be stopped
there, but only until further no
tice." On the other hand, Brazil
which had declared war on Octobe,
2e, 1917, was a good place to "in.
vest capital"
AS a rule Victorica changed hel
code about every six weeks, some.
times even more often. AS a basis
for her communications she made
use Of the so-called A B C com.
mercial code book. The reason she
used this book was that she could
get it in any banking house and in
various other business and semi
public establishments.
A code book Of this sort contains
a large number of standard mes
sages, and such messages are num-
bered. For example, the message
"We have your letter and are fol
lowing your suggestion" might be
No. 1904, and cabling that number
alone would convey the message
That, however, would have been toe
simple and too obvious for secret
communications. Victorica would
find a message in the book that suit
ed her purpose, and then would
write down the number of the mes
sage backward. For instance, LEI
US suppose that she wished to cable
Have your message, also your ship
ment, and am sending our repre-
sentative to call on you"
Turned Messages Around
Such q message, while originall,
constructed for legitimate CONNER
cial purposes, might be used to in
dicate that the secret letters wer,
being delivered properly, that ship
ment Of explosives had come an,
that a confidential agent was abou
to set out for Europe. Let US sa.
that the number of this message il
the commercial code book wa
23764. Victorica would revcrs,
the number, making it 46732.
Her next step was to construct /,
sentence the first word of which be
gan with the letter that, in her ows
private code, was the equivalent o:
the first number above, the secon,
word beginning with a letteZ 4 tina
eorresponded to the second tber

r might mean 4 and P might mean

long as it looked innocent and the
words began with the letters she
wished to use. Assume that she
framed some such sentence as this

bers 46732. This when reversed
gives the number Of the actual mes.
sage, 23764. The rest is easy enough
All that the recipient of the mes.
sage then had to do was look ur
No. 23764 in the code book.
Numbers for Names
1t was often necessary, however,
for Victorica secretly to use words
not in the code book, such as proper
names. For this purpose she would
contrive to insert a number into her
message, and the proper letters SUBJ
stituted for the figures in this num-
Der would indicate the name. She
might say: "Ship gross of toy blocks,
type 243534," and it would be un-
derstood that this number was the
name of man referred to in some
other part of the message or in an
earlier message.
AS there are only ten different
symbols or figures in the Arabic
system of numerals, and twenty-six
letters in the alphabet, one figure
had to indicate two or three differ
ent letters. For instance, 4 might
mean A and r and mean X, Y and
q. The persons receiving the mes
sage had to experiment with the diff
ferent letters and see which ones
made sense. Victorica often SIM
plified this scheme somewhat by hav-
ing it understood that when there
were any words beginning with
vowels in her message, those words
were to be disregarded and only
those words beginning with conso-
nants considered.
In cabling or writing regarding
the sailing of ships, she made use of
Lloyd's Register for, 1916-17. Ger
tain letters were used to indicate
that the numbers Immediately fol-
lowing such letters had to do with
this ship register. Then the last four
figures would indicate the number
of the ship in the register. If the
number of the ship did not contain
four figures she would place
ciphers in front Of the real number
That is, if the ship number were
1146 the number would be given
just that way, but if it were LAG
then it would be written O146. Thus
she avoided confusion as 10 just

cate the ships number. The first
and first two figures to the left ot
the four which indicated the number
of the ship referred to q estsr cd

The pages Of the register gre
not numbered, but the names Of the
ships are given alphabetically ane
numbered from / beginning with
each letter. For instance, the shir
Laplsnd is the 246th ship under
in the book, and Victorica woulo
therefore indicate the number Of the
