Famous' English Society Women As Trappers of German Spies. Everybody has heard of the tre- mendous re mendous ramifications of the German military spy system, which has Brit ain's army and navy under observa- tion, writes an American correspond- ent in London. Englishmen were. top -earcless: to shake " off -,this' spy ', danger, which penetrated into every branch of na-w tional life, but English women took. up the matter, brought the most dan- gerous spies to trial, put the others under armed'. guard, and in various other ways made the lives of spies and suspected spies a: burden to them. They have proved that women are the only efficient "spy trapper's." The leaders of the undertaking are women of title, for they alone would -have the authority, means, and ores..., tige to carry out a difficult and far- reaching work. • The organizer and "chairman" of the committee that has been round=, ing. up the Spies is Lady Glanuslc, wife of a peer and officer; a woman of keen mind and very determined, yet tactful, personality. Other members are the Duchess of Wellington, who is president;, the Duchess of Beaufort, the Duchess of Sutherland, the Marchioness of Sligo, Countess Bathurst, the Countess of Lanesborough, Viscountess Masser- eene and Ferrard, Viscountess Com- ber/nem, Viscountess Cobham, Lady Vincent, Lady Leith of Eyrie,- Mrs. Harold 'Baring and others.

Warsaw's history, full of battle and bloodshed, of capture and recapture, is so dismal that it must of necessity have a reflection in' the spirit of the people. Like most great European cities, the precise date of its founcl- 1 in is not known. The Deice of Ma-' sition and great wealth, some of them zovla built a castle on the present site naturalized British subjects, have as early as the ninth century, but the been pursued by. the relentless "la- ty is not mentioned in annals until 'dies' committee."

What would the Good Samaritan have done if 'instead of finding the man on the Jericho road wounded and half dead he had arrived hien the robbers were beating up their help- less victim? A righteous war is not opposed to Christianity rightly understood. , As the pages of history amply disclose, it is oftentimes a flail in the hand of Almighty 'God for the, punishment of the nations.
