An hour later O. high espionage officer from
headquarters dashed up In q motor car, cursing
loudly.
"Al the movements of this army depend on
the womans report" he shouted at the diyi-

at once. She is more important than your

After the big German offensive was finally
halted Anne Marie Travelled back and forth
between Germany and the allied countries
many times, always bringing back important
Information.
One of her most spectacular feats was in the
Summer Of 1917. BY this time the French coun-
SereSpionage had succeeded In smashing the
entire German spy organization In France and
no news was leaking out. The Kaiser himself
sent word that he was anxious to know what
was going on in Paris
One day a stupid-looking Norman servant
GIRL with several good references from alleged
FORMER employers, went to No. 3 Rue Francois L
Paris, and asked for job.
This house had all the appearances of being
o sort OF family hotel. In reality it was the
headquarters of the French counterespionage
service. The janitor had never seen such a
uumo-look1ng girl, but he finally gave her q
Job scrubbing and polishing the floors. There
were three charwomen on duty. It was a rule
that one must work at night and, as the other
Two d1sliked night work, the new girl took on
the job and actually seemed to like it, On
Sundays young noncommissioned officer was
the only employe on duty. He never paid any
notice to the dirty young scrubwoman, but on
the fourth Sunday she cleaned up put on some
pretty clothes and took his breath away He
tried to kiss her. She put wad Of cotton
with chloroform under his nose and he went to
sleep.
Like flash the new charwoman-Anne
Marie-went through the confidential files and
extracted list OF all the French spies oper-
etng In Germany and other foreign countries.
She Immediately jumped into motor car with

TODAY, living in republic, we no longer
celebrate the New Year by bestowing money
upon kings but lavish it instead upon head
walters. captains, taxi-drivers and hat-check

There has always been q good deal Of con-
fusion In the public mind as to when, exactly
New Year day really is. The ancient Egyp-
tans, PhoenicianS and PersianS held that It
came at the autumnal equinox, which as I

Formerly Washington was Stunned
as a gathering place for organiZa-
tons holding a business or pleas
ure meeting. Today hundreds of
conventions are held here yearly
Washington hotels are packed with
convention crowds. This has been
conceded as mostly the work of
civic bodies and trade associa lions
who showed the advantages OF tn"
city.
Recently a special committee of
the Washington Chamber of Corr
merce was formed to prepare charts
showing that the temperature here
is not greatly different from cities
elsewhere. The myth Of Washing
ton summer heat is about to be ex-
ploded. This, it is claimed, will
bring hundreds of sightseers and
tourists here and will greatly bene-
fit the city as a whole.
Other trade organizations. par
ticularly the Washington Board of
Trade and the Merchants and Man.
ufacturers Association have been
trying for years to make Washing
ton the Mecca of the East. Their
efforts are partly successful and
are expected to be more so within
a few years.

GIBSON F AGING
FIGHT

Representative Ernest w. Gibson
of Vermont, champion of many Dis
trict causes in Congress, may have
to fight 1t out with his colleague,
Representative Ebert S. Brigham
for a place in the next Congress.
The census and reapportionment
bill, which is slated to become law
this month, would cut the repre-
sentation of Vermont in the House
from two to one.
If Gibson and Brigham both want
to continue their service in Con-
gress, 1t is likely that they may
lock horns in a State campaign in
1882.
Gibson has served in the House
since 1922, and Brigham since 1924,
Gibson s service on the District
Committee has been marked by
many constructive pieces of legis-
lation, and he is still engaged in an
effort to cause reorganization of
the District government and the
Police Department on a modern. eff
ficient basis.
AS chairman of subcommittee
empowered to investigate the ad-
ministration of the District gov
eminent, he was instrumental in eff
fecting many money-saving re-
forms. Early in this session, how
ever. he announced he intended to
resign from the. District Commit.
tee, effective at the regular SEES.

OFFICES To MD
TAXPAYERS

Further decentralization of the
Internal Revenue Bureau. directed
toward settlement of income, cor
porstion and other tax cases in the
field outside of Washington, was
announced today at the Treasury.
Field branches of the general
counsels office have been opened
in New York, Chicago Los Angeles,
Boston, Pittsburgh, Miami, Seattle
and st. Paul. giving taxpayers in
these sections of the country the
opportunity for more prompt set
Element of cases.
The order also sets up a direct
liaison between the Treasury and
Justice Department in prosecuting
tax frauds and defending tax suits
against the Government.
Legal tax experts from the office
of General Counsel c. NJ. Charest
were assigned to the field branches.
The primary function of these at
torneys, the announcement said, was
to advise collectors of Internal
Revenue and field forces on ques.
tons of law. thus making possible
the elimination of erroneous rulings
and consequently recourse by tax
payers to the courts and Board of
Tax Appeals.
