Until recently MM. Paul Palnleve refused all Investi- ators and curiosity seekers acvess to the documents relating to that silent and often terrific battle of wits that went on behind the scenes and of which the Paris public was reminded only some days at dawn when the sharp crack of rifle shots resounded in the vicinity of the Dungeon of Vincennes, Publication or at least part pub- lication of some c-ses of 'esploun. was allowed when the Germans published an evlogistic account of the acts of Louise re Bettingy, an aristocratic Frenchwoman, who was finally captured like Nurse Cavell, Some Frenchmen protested with the first revelations of Mme, de Pettingy's patriotic work should have come from former enemy sources, Cant, Felix Bauman, an officer in the German Intelligence Service during the war, stated some weeks ago that "the German spy system and its history during the war had nothing to offer to compare with te organ'zing talent, the s"htl~ craft, the courage, sang fro'd and the results obtained by Mme. de Tettin~y,"" He ca'led her 'the m s- ter spy" of the great war, and ua- ses his opinion on his acquaint. ance wtih the lady's actions, as he had been appointed to bring her work to an end and to capture her, The Frenh War Ministry ad- mitted that 'the services of Alice Dubois (Mnre, db Bettingy's rssum-: ed name) were wneaqualled and unexcelled during the war in sery- fce both to the French generrl her dquarters and to the British sta." \ In the execution of her perilous task this woman utjlized every pos- She ' transmitted in- tell'ence to the allied armies hy medium of invsibleqend sympathetie ink, by the i placing of post ge stamps on letters, through carillon plavirg, by means of dogs, carrier p!geons, books of proverbs and balloons, She never used the same trick twice, and was therefore the ha a- er to catch, More than twenty-two times she was able, being a resi- dent in occupied territory, to sup- ply the French and British with an exact description of the strength and p'cecement of German artillery. snformation that resnitel eighteen times in a total annihilation of that artillery. .

The year 1928 will be a ycar without war, minor troubles in the Balkans not developing to the stage of hostilities, and a good year for business. Certain political dictators will tvmble into oblivion and Europe will swing politically toward the right, said the three outstanding French prophetesses, Mlle. Jane Oudot, Mille Berzer- Levrauit an® "me. Fraya. Huge " 'rthquakes The two Ar --icas will be wiped out, the Britich Empire will go by the board, and Europe will be able to walk with dry feet to Hai- ti, said Professor Pav, taking his eye from the telescope. These four proj predict that some- thing cataclysmisic is going to happen. The prophetesses say that Europe will be swept by the greatest isaster which, rica, will sweep over France, and wind up at Copenhazen. The pro fessor claims that New York will topple into the Atlantic, the whole of the rich rezions =2lon~ the Atlentic and Poeific will bree' off like edres of crust and fa' into the sea, and the wuphea:o will make mountains of and throw many American cities off the map.
