r. G. Stanford, Phoenix attorney

Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Gordon Switz Of

They were charged with being
leaders Of Russian spy ring. On
trial, the court said they were guilty,
but exempted them from punish
ment because they turned states

16 months in prison.
Noblewomen Executed by Reich.
The world was made to shudder in
1895, when Germany sent two lovely
and accomplished noblewomen to the
chopping block-the Baroness Benita
Won Falkenhayn and Frau Renate Won
Natzmer.
About the same time an American
girl, Miss Isobel Steele, Of Hollywood,
was held in prison four months before
her acquittal of charge of espionage.
So the wheel Of fortune will con-
tinue to spin as nations fight to
safeguard their vital secrets from these
steel-nerved adventures who daily
gamble their lives and match wits with
the best they can find.
Spying is as old as history. The
Bible records that Moses sent spies
into Canaan to look the country over,
and they brought back what has
become the best known secret service
report Of all time, namely, that it
was a land flowing with milk and
honey"
Those who are engaged in this
hazardous profession do not like the
designation Of "spy"-a word which
they feel smacks much Of keyhole
shopping.
Profession Honorable.
They prefer the more dignified and
euphemistic term of "secret service"
although no dishonor attaches to
those who serve their own countries
in this manner. The late Brig. Gen.

educational system. One Of the first
things that candidates have to learn
Is absolute discipline, and they must
develop foolproof carefulness, for II
spy makes . mistake 1t likely will be
his last.
In these schools one learns Of codes
and ciphers; how to calculate heights
and distances; how to acquire pho
tographic eye and an unfailing men,
ory.
Students also have to become cos
mopolitan so that they will not give
themselves away by employing some
verbal expression, or exhibiting racial
trait, which will indicate their nation
ality.
The secret service agent Is name
less-just number. His identity Is
SO carefully safeguarded even in his
own country that his occupation is not
known to his friends or to officials
other than one or two of his superiors.
Often he engages in some other work
as a blind, or he may even be just
man about town.
Woman Agents Employed.
The majority of spies are men, but
women frequently are employed and
some of the most notable secret serv.
ice agents Of history have belonged to
the fair sex.
The female spy often is selected be-
cause Of her great physical attraction,
though she also must possess the other
qualifications requisite to this work.
Many Of the outstanding woman spies
have been notorious courtesans, who
traded virtue for information. The
glamorous and seductive Mata Hari,
whose amazing career will be dealt
with in another article, was one of
these.
Spying covers many fields-military
and naval information, treaties, and
secret government projects affecting
other nations.
It also includes In some instances
the ferreting out of discreditable facts
in the private lives of prominent peo-
pie. The idea, of course, is to use this
data If necessary to exact information
from the unfortunate individuals con-
cerned or force them to undertake
espionage.

to American soldiers and public alike
said in this connection:
"Spies are punished, not because
there Is anything morally reprehen-
sible in their work, but because it
Is desired to make their occupation
so dangerous that it will be dificult
to find men to undertake the risks
involved. The status Of the spy in
our own history cannot better be
shown than in the fact that Nathan
Hale, the spy Of our own Revolution.
whose impressive statue stands in New
York and whose last words on the
gallows were, My chief regret is
that I have but one life to give for
my country is one Of the greatest
of our national heroes"
In this connection the "spy" who
operates among the enemy or in a
foreign country for the benefit of his
state should not be confused with the
traitor" who works against his own
people.
The famous Maj. John Andre Of the
British Army, who was executed as q
spy by Washington's forces during
the Revolution, was hero who died
with honor. The notorious Benedict
Arnold, who betrayed the vital Ameri-
can post of West Point to Maj. Andre,
was traitor whose name stinks In
history.
Confidence Main Asset.
The qualifications for high-class
secret service work are many and ex-
acting. Among other things there
must be absolute fearlessness. nerves
which never jump, q brain which
works surely and with lightning
speed, a thorough knowledge of man
kind, a convincing personality, a
command of languages, the detectives
knack of arriving at the correct an-
swer by piecing together seemingly
irrelevant clues, and the art of imper-
sonation.
And the spy must be prepared to
90 to his death with sealed lips; that
is the code!
A notable example Of the total of
these qualifications was furnished dur
ing the World War by brilliant
young British secret service agent.
He actually lunched with the Kaiser
In Berlin and was given highly con-
fdential information by the al-high-
est himself.
The agent successfully impersonated
a German naval officer who had been
summoned to confer with the Emperor
and whom the Briton disposed of in
some manner known only to himself.
