While woman spies have been few
in number as compared with men,
more glamour seems to attach to the
operations Of the fair sex, probably
because this daredevil work, which
carries its almost inevitable death
warrant, Is 20 foreign to what Is gen.
orally associated with femininity.
American history cherishes the names
of several heroic girls.
Belle Boyd Saved Jackson.
For one, there was beautiful Belle
Boyd, the young Confederate miss
who long acted as a spy and saved
the army Of Gen. "Stonewall" Jack
son at Bull Run. She indirectly was
responsible for the sobriquet Of
"Stonewall," because it was on this
battlefield that he acquired it.
Belle was as clever and daring as
she was lovely-the toast OF her home
town Of Martinsburg w. Va.
She was q magnificent horsewoman

Southern woman. From that moment
she became . spy for her people and
did notable work at the risk of her
life on many occasions.
just prior to the battle Of Bull Run
she learned by spying that several
Union forces were converging at .
given point with the idea Of destroying
Jackson's army in . surprise attack.
There was only one way for her to
get this news to Jackson. and that
was straight through the Union line,

The ancient Tower Of London could
tell . grim story Of executions within
its gray-walled court yard during the
World War. Every once in q while
the public's flesh was made to creep
by an announcement that "A man was
shot in the Tower this morning."
Just that and nothing more.
The secret agent, who had faced
the firing squad at dawn, was still
nameless-only number in the rec
ords Of his home office.
The first spy to 60 to his death in
the Tower had posed Is an American
while he carried out espionage for
Germany, and his case was made
public. He was Carl Hans Lody, Q
brilliant and much-traveled young
man Of attractive personality, who
had been q senior lieutenant in the
German Navy.
He had lived in America, being en-
ployed by q. steamship company in
New York. Indeed, he married q
wealthy American girl, but q divorce
followed.
Lody proceeded to England on the
outbreak Of the war as spy for the
Fatherland, and because he had ac-
quired an American accent was able
to pass himself OF as q citizen Of the
United States.
He did well for his country, sending
to Berlin accurate and invaluable de-
tails concerning armaments and the
location Of British warships.
Shot After Court Martial.
His success was short-lived, how
ever. for in about two months the
English secret service had caught ur
with him.
He was court-martialed and then
"a man was shot in the tower thi!
morning."
Just before he died he wrote to q
friend in Omaha: II am In the

She got her message to Washing-

covery, . remarkable feat. Washing-
ton was prepared when the British
advanced. and the latter decided not
to attack. Military experts said that
had the British been successful In
surprising the American commander
in chief his army would have been
destroyed.
Emma Edmonds, Canadian-born
spy for the Northern forces in the
Civil War, was another famous wom-
an. Eleven times she penetrated the
enemy lines without detection and
brought back invaluable reports. She
had her hair cut short, stained her
face black, put on shabby male at

gift Of impersonation and mimicry
