The Spy Mania in Europe To-day

writing shorthand notes with the aid of
pencil fitted with a small electric bulb
attachment when another employee gave
the alarm. His notes as well as his cloth
ing are now in the hands of the Geneva
police; the culprit himself succeeded in
crossing the Italian frontier and in less
than fortnight was reporting his failure
to a group Of fellow spies in the rear room
of a third class Vienna cafe.
And this is only one of many such
cases, most of which the League officials
naturally do not allow to be noised abroad.
1t would be interesting to know how many
letter sacks and diplomatic valises have
been stolen while en- route from London,
Paris, Brussels and Rome A recent in
cident of this kind occurred in Paris when
one of the Leagues own messengers was
relieved of an important parcel of corre-
spondence under the very eyes of the

French police. This is an old trick, how
ever, and no one but novice should ever
be caught by it. 1t merely consists of
two or three members of the spy group
following their prey until in an unguarded
moment he happens to leave his suit
case or mail pouch out of his sight. Three
minutes is then sufficient for the spies to
make good their escape In one case last
year a League Council members private
secretary dozed in his compartment with
an apparently stylish, monocled English
man as his only companion. During
brief falt the secretary stretched his legs
on station platform-and while he was
away from his compartment the English
gentleman had tossed small valse con-
tanning League papers to waiting con-
federate in the carriage aisle. The Eng
lishman himself left the train at the next
stop, after profusely apologizing for annoy
ing the doing secretary-and the papers
We're not recovered. The Englshman, we
row know, was no other than an Italian,
educated in England who has been in the
employ of nearly every European Govern
ment and is now suspected of spying for
the Russian Soviets. But the League isn't
to be blamed for these occasional lapses of
neglect; it has taken European nations
centuries to checkmate spies only occa-
sionally. and there is every possibility that
Geneva will long continue to be the most
fertile field for such operations, especially
if the League does not develop the frater-
nifty of nations for which it was founded"
But just as interesting as this retention
of old methods at Geneva is the fact that
female spies, fashionably dressed and ready
to charm any diplomatic victim who may

lay himself open to their Turing, are no
longer in vogue. When the League first
appeared in Geneva the hotel dining
rooms, various bathrooms and fashionable
gathering places suddenly experienced an
unprecedented feminine clientele. Among
these were recognized some of the old
habtues of the Berne spy center; they had
come from Vienna, from Rome, from
Athens and all other international head
quarters to ply their old trade-looking
for stray bits of information which might
be sold to interested governments. But
the grizzled diplomats of the League were
put on their guard, and the word went out
that great discretion must be used in
meeting the women of Geneva; clerks
were told that their positions were at
stake if they talked too much to their
fair charmers from abroad, and in less
than a year the "spy detectors" reported
