Alibi Finally Fails.
Apparently, however, he was a
criminal from choice rather than
necessity, for in 1923 Baptistin's S
alibi failed to hold water in a
French court. He was found guilty,
sentenced to 20 years in the penal
colony in Cayenne, and exile from
France forever after
While the "Ex-King of the Ali

There is no such thing as spy
type. In the last war there were
spies. in high position, spying both
for Germany and the Allies. Wac
gele, acting as commissioner of field
police at German CHG, was
French spy. In England, postal
censor Silber was a German spy. If
you are in defense work, remember
that position, neither high nor low,
precludes the possibility of espio-
mage.
For. at the other end OF the scale,
known criminals have been used,
and successfully, in secret service.
Forgers and counterfeiters manu-
factured passports and other docu-
ments. Cracksmen were used to
open safes. Even pickpockets quietly
lifted wanted documents from the
pockets of enemy officers.
Safe Robber Valuable.
Probably the most famous Of all
criminals in espionage was the
Frenchman. Baptistin Travail. bet
ter known as King Of the Alibis."
Prior to the First World War,
Baptistin earned his royal title by
establishing in court that at the
time he robbed safe he actually
was playing billiards with a SER
geant OF police.
Shortly after the First World
War began, Baptistin found him
self in the ranks of the intelligence
service of Italy. There, among his
outstanding feats was cracking the
supposedly impregnable safe of the
German spy-master. Herr Doktor
Meyer. then operating in that hot
bed of intrigue, Switzerland.
The Germans headquarters was
an intricate network Of alarms ano
hidden traps of all sorts, yet tc
Baptistin they offered no undue
difficulties. He was back to hi:
superiors with the safes content:
so rapidly that at first they be.
lieved he had failed.

PORT HURON, Mich, July IL
Nineteen sleek racing yachts, the
smallest feet in 10 years, slip across
the starting line here today in the
18th annual 240-mile haul up Lake
Huron to Mackinac Island.
The fleet, II boats smaller than
last year and less than half as large
of the record entry of 40 craft in
1899, is made up largely of thor
oughly tested yawls and cutters
manned by seasoned crews, but the
entry to beat is newcomer, Charles
E. Sorenson's 60-foot cutter White
Cloud.
Baltimore Boat Is StandOut.
White Cloud, trim ocean-going
racer from Baltimore, which was
brought to Great Lakes competition
by Sorensen, Detroit automotive
executive, is the scratch boat of the
fleet and gives as much as two hours
and % minutes of handicap time to
last years winner, the 55-foot cut
ter Kittihawk, owned by John Tim
ken of Cleveland.
In their weekend dash to Mack
mac Island-the first finisher prob
ably will check in late Monday-the
boats will seek supremacy in three
main misunderstanding, cruising and
racing cruising.
Headed by the 12-meter Iris, 1941
division champion owned by Harry
Fletcher of Alpena, the racing class
has only four entries. There are
eight in the racing cruising divis-
ions, topped by White Cloud and
Kittihawk, and seven in the cruis-
ing classification.
Two Winners Are Missing.
Another defending champion is
Duchess, owned by Tom Lott of
Detroit, in the cruising division, but
two holdover winners are missing
Both owned by Detroiters, they are
Dave Williams Sonata and Ted
Farnsworth's Chantey.
For the first time in many years
there will be no Coast Guard patrol
