IDENTITY OF THE MAsTER-sPY

XXYHO was the mysterious "H''
who directed the operations of
the Germanic forces in the United
States both before and during the
period of the World war?
Was this parsonage a man with a
widespread knowledge of American
military procedure and an almost I'M
canny sense of foresight, or was she
a woman, with all of woman's abil-
ity to worm secrets from diplomatic
circles and untangle problems to
which she held but the slightest
clues?
These, in brief, are the questions
which puzzled-and still puzzle-the
master minds of the United States
secret service and the officials of the
Department Of Justice connected with
the defeating Of Germanic propaganda
on this side of the Atlantic. That,
even after the deportation of Won
Bernstorff and Won Papen, there was
some individual who directed the
movements of the pro-Germans in the
United States and Canada is apparent
from the very nature of the plans
which they attempted to carry through
plans which included the attempted
importation Of large number of dis
satisfied Hindus, the securing of the
plans of the battleship Pennsylvania
the placing of time-bombs on several
large United States transports, signal
ing to sea from number of Atlantic
ports and the financing of the famous
"peace movement" to which a num-

Paper money wears out rapidly and

was positively chilly. Suspicion
seemed in the air. The banks reputa-
ton for guarding the sanctity Of
wealth seemed to rest heavily upon
each pair of bowed shoulders.
The business customers of this bank
found their affairs handled coldly, eff
fciently, with an inhuman precision
that was admirable 1t was good fer
business, and they liked it. There
were no mistakes.
People who were accustomed to
dealing with bankers of cordial smile
and courteous word, people who liked
to walk into a bank and to be met
with a personal greeting, did not
come here, nor were they wanted
here. Chance customers who entered
the sacred portals were duly cowed
and put in their proper place. Most
of them were, that is. Occasionally
some intrepid soul appeared who
seemed imperviOus to the gloomy
chill, who seemed even to resent it.

countenance the assistant cashier

many, the trail to the master-spy-
concealed under the cloak Of the
single letter H" was sufficiently well
hidden never to be completely uncov-
cred.
The closest approach to the actual
location Of this parsonage was in the
arrest of a self-styled baroness In
Tennessee, Immediately after this
charming woman had succeeded IN
penetrating to the innermost secrets
of Fort Oglethorpe and number OF
other important posts in the eastern
section of the country. In the pres
entation of the governments case al
the ensuing trial, the United States
district attorney made the following
statement:
"When war was declared between
France and Germany, the husband OF
the Baroness was en- route to Lon
don. While in the middle of the
Mediterranean, between Suez and
Marseilles, he made arrangements to
land at the latter port and go from
there to London instead of continuing
his voyage by way of Gibraltar.
However, the Baroness sent him a
wireless just before he reached Mar
seilles advising him that war was
about to be declared and that it would
be better for him to remain aboard
ship. When the ship touched Mar
settles, the baron offered $1,000 for
an automobile to take him to the Ital-
ian frontier, but was unable to secure
a vehicle. He continued his voyage
and landed at Southampton on the
day following declaration of war with
Germany. He was interned imme-
diately and remained in camp for
three weeks, during which the
Baroness interviewed with a number
of British officials and secured the re
lease Of her husband upon his promise
as an officer and gentleman not to
take arms against England during
the war, a pledge in which she
joined
shortly after his release from the
internment camp, the captain and his
wife sailed for New York, cloaking
their identity under the mask Of or
binary steerage passengers. The
Baroness has admitted that she had
been in almost constant communica-
ton with Germany, both by letter and
cablegram, and that she had been on
terms Of intimacy with several mem
bers of the kaiser's family"
But while-like Wolf Won Ingel,
Ram Chandra, Robert Fay, Warner
Horn and other German agents arrest
ed in the United States, the 'Bar-
oness" admitted the existence of a
chief who directed all the movements
of the Teutonic forbes in America,
she maintained that she herself had
no idea as to his identity, for all her
instructions had been signed merely
with the single letter "H."
Who was this "H?" Perhaps the
memoirs of the kaiser or some of the
other officials of the German govern
Iment may eventually clear up this
point, but, until then, it appears
destined to remain one of the riddles
of the war, covered by a veil of mys-
terry woven with true German eff
cheney.

VIGOROUS TEST FOR BANK ROLLS

Generally speaking, [ WOULD recon-
mend this town as the best health re-
sort for bank rolls in the world. Some
bank rolls come here in the full view
of perfect health, with perfectly nor
NAL chest measurements and waist
lines suited to their age, and immedi-
ately go into a decline which no
science is able to stem. They seem to
be victims of the old-fashioned disease
known as galloping consumption.
Others come here in very frail
state of health, puny in fact, and by
judicious exercise AXE on weight and
require larger and larger belts. Cir
cumstances alter bank rolls.-Roy K.
