Canadian Ladies Have Experiences With Germans guised as' Women, Montreal, Nov. 16--Of ail the stories of German ies found on passenger mers crossing the At- lantic Oceans happens that inci- dents in whic Canadian women. were innocently involved are among the most distressing.

Just before reaching New York the lady from Toronto was as- ked what her companion was like. After her movements and actions were related to the officer, he asked Ler to point out to him the other oe- cupant of her stateroom. This she did. and to her amazement the officer walked up to the seeming: woman and arrested her It turned out that it was"a man and he was a Ger- man spy The Torcnto lady is-now i laid up with nervous prostration as a result of the disclosure. A young lady from Ottawa was 50 crossing by another boat.
