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-
