Immediately afterward. though nothing definite was heard of the pair, a thick, impenetrable silence settled down upon the whole af- fair. Nobody in Tarviso admitted to knowing anything about it or even asked any questions.
 In Paris, the home of the profess sor and his secretary, the, case was quite different. As time went on and they failed to return from their holiday, friends naturally wondered. Inquirers, however, drew blanks. The families of the miss ing man and woman preserved a mysterious reticence which, while if had in 1t an element of uneasi- ness, certainly did not seem to hold the agony of suspense that might have been expected.

The Case of Professor Eydoux
and the Aspirin

when the trial began before the Special Tribunal for the Defense Of the Realm in Rome on Febfu- sry 4, this odd angle of the case was immediately brought up.
 Why, the prosecution asked, had the prisoners been carrying aspirin? In case they had head- aches, of course, the prisoners themselves answered with some asperity. The prosecutor called the attention of the court to the fact that aspirin was notoriouslX used in the preparation of invis- lble ink. Professor Eydoux and Mademoiselle Bonnefond replied that they had never heard of such use. They carried the drug as a. medicine, and used it for that pur- pose only, they said.

The man and woman, it was re- vealed, had been under obser- vation as they travelled about Italy and Yugo-Slavia for some weeks before their arrest and had been seen to take notes of certain locali- ties, bridges and roads which the

Secrecy Denied

The professor frankly admitted
 that he had made observations along the Yugo-Slav fron.ier at he request of French military friend. He also confessed that he had sup- plied French authorities with notes on events observed on the
 road over the Simp1on Pass. but he said there had been no secrets In
 his reports. Any intelligent man,
 he asserted, could have seen the
 same things and turned out the notes.
 Mademoiselle Bonnefond said she thought all the time the pro- lessor was collecting material for a book or a magazine article or something. She had helred him with his work as she was paid to do but she had not even known that he was sending reports back | to Paris, she insisted.
 The frank manner of the prison- CTS made a good impression on the court and their Italian attorney argued to good effect that Eydoux
 had done no more than apply his | expert knowledge to roads and railroads which could be seen by any casual traveller. Luckily, this | attorney, Signor Emilio Tommasi,
 had helped draft the Peral Code
 under which his clients were being tried, and the court was obviously impressed when he declared that | the activities of Professor Eydoux would not come under it's provt- sions against securing secret in-l formation.
 l Nevertheless, the prosecutor
 asked that Eydoux be sentenced to fifteen years in prison and Madom- oiselle Bonnefond to ten. Eydoux got five years and Mademoiselia Bonnefond three.
 Each, however, was given q re mission of three years of the sens tence under an amnesty which had been granted to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the fascist march
 on Rome. Mademoiselle Bonne-
 fond was released at once and or- fdered to leave the country.
 A few months later, when the famous Four Power Pact for the Preservation of Peace for ten years was signed in Rome, Musso1inis 1ubilant over the event, pardoned
 Professor Eydoux and sent him
 back to Paris.

aspirin carried by either the pro- lessor or his secretary was to pay a star role in the trial.
 But what could aspirin have to do with spying, or even the charge of it? Nobody could imagine.
 Meantime, in Italy antagonism to the prisoners was growing. The relations between France and Italy were not too cordial anyway. Always since the World war there had been loose talk about the pos- sibility of war between the two nations and now this Frenchman and his frined, employe or what ever, were accused f gathering information along a strategically important boundary llne, that between Italy and Yugo- o-Slavia, leading member of the Little En- tente, closely allied in military way with France.
 Yugo- -Slavia, also, Is more of a sore point with Italy, than any of the other members of the Little Entente because the smaller coun- try raised such an outcry when Plume and all the best Adriatic ports were turned over to the Ital- ians after the war.
 
 France Is Aroused
 Feeling was running as high in France as in Italy. Friends of Professor Eydoux were pointing out that his position at the Ecole Polytechnique gave him & legiti- mate important connection with the technical engineering training of French army engineers and ar- tillery officers. They said he might, therefore, have been sketches, in all innocence, of sub jects, such as hydro-electric install lations which would be of special interest to him.
 Furthermore, as a member of the Salon des Artistes Francaises, he was quite likely to sketch scenery when on holiday.

While the national event is the fea-

hot battling and has aroused much
interest. The Shoreham Club, as
usual, will monopolize the women's

to furnish the Colonials a stout fight.
Central, which is not SO strong this
season, and Western, which has a
swimming team for the first time, are
not considered in the running for the
team trophy, but are figured to do
considerable scoring, especially Cen
tral.
Georgetown, Maryland, Catholic

announced they will be represented.
The Hoyas and Old Liners will be
competing in their first A. A. U. title
swimming meet.
Rote and George Croft of the

crack has conquered Rote in both
the SO and 100 yard events, but has
been forced to break D. c. records

always an interesting event, again
promises to be attractive, with George
