Trenches. Serve as Bowling Alleys
Trenches are serving as'bowling al-
leys, according to the report of the
foreign news department of the wom-
en's committee, CouncIl of nationalz
defense. The women over-seas aret
furnishing balls and pins to soldiers
vho enjoy this game for a pastime dur-f
ing a dull period.
It is not only to the men in the
trenches that the women are turningI
tileir attention. One hospital in7
France, filled with African troopers,
has been supplied with 700 fans. (
Germans, including one non-commis-
sioned officer, one private, and a civil
official, have just been executed in
Germany as Entente spies. The lead-
er of the group, according to the Ger-
man newspaper accounts, was a Doct-
or Roos. His associates were Joseph
Schnitzler, a non-commissioned officer
in an artillery battalion at the front,
and Albert Strudel, a soldier in a tel-
ephone section in Coblentz.
The Cologne Gazette gives the fol-
lowing account of the case:
"The enemy espionage service not
only succeeds in now and then send-
ing enemy subjects and suborned neu-
trals with false or stolen passports to
spy in Germany, but occasionally a
German succumbs to the temptation of
money.
Men Influenced by French
"A German court-martial had to deal
with one of these cases a short time
ago. The three men named were ac-
cused of treason. Dr. Roos, who had
been a failure in his profession and in
life, while on a s iness journey to
Switzerland in 15, made the ac-
quaintance of a certain Josef Kraft,
in Geneva, whose business was to get
agents for the French intelligence ser-
vice. Here Dr. Roos was also intro-
duced to an alleged Captain.Barrat.
"It was agreed that Roos should
settle in Frankfort, and from there
send military and .economic informa-
tion to Switzerland to a covering ad-
dress, Grevilliot, Geneva. The informa-
tion was written by Roos In invisible
ink between the lines of newspapers
which were then sent in a wrapper
looking quite innocuous in the post.
As a reward for betraying his country,
Roos at once received an advance of
2,000 francs and a monthly payment of
1,000 francs was guaranteed him.
lonthly Reports Made
"In October, 1915, Roos began his
activities in Frankfort. At first he had
his own observatiois only to rely upon,
but later be gained accomplices in
Strudel and Schnitzler. He sent sev-
eral reports monthly until finally the
secret writing was discovered and it
was ascertained that he was the send-
er., Soon afterwards his accomplices
were discovered. All three made full
confession.
"The activities of these three spies
has done great injury to the Father-
land and the army, as the two sold-
iers, especially Schnitzler, who was at
the front, were able to give valuable in-
formation. The court-martial con
demned all three to death. The punish-
ment was carried out soon after.
Accomplices Also Arrested
"In addition, it was possible to have
a number of other members of the es-
pionage organization brought to trial.
The recruiting agent, Josef Kraft,
and Grevilliot, who i received letters
from Roos at Geneva, were tried by the
court there. Kraft was fined 300 francs
and sentenced to three months' im-
prisonment. Grevilliot got a 600
franc fine and four months imprison-
ment for obtaining information on be-
half of a foreign power."4
Another account of espionage activ-
ities in Germany is printed in a num-
ber of German papers this week. It
pays a grudging tribute to the activi-
ties of an alleged Russian agent named
Liander, of whom it says: "This ver-
satile and cunning spy, who is general-
ly described as a man of education, and
of an amiable nature, has been render-
ed harmless. But the espionage ser-
vice. of the Entente will find other
ways. Only the greatest watchful-
ness against all suspicious persons
and the greatest restraint and caution
in conversation can .relieve Germany
from these pests or make their activ-
ity futile."
"It is stated that Liander is a Swede.
His two principal accomplices were
Plammer, fornerly a German subject,
and Hlopf, a German. According to the
German newspapers, the three have
