In no part of the world has the woman spy been brought to the point 80 near perfection as Jn Europe, and it may be unhesitatingly said that In Russia, which fairly swarms with eyes and ears of the car, the dashing, J&eautifui woman of - high "Weeding and title, perhaps, has become the most necessary arm of that underground ysteni, which appears to read thoughts as well as detect designs. At the present time the secret serv ice of both Russia and Japan Is natur. ally more active, and it must not be forgotten that Japan, too, has made use of women to ferret out the Intentions the present war. They are not, as rule, however, Japanese women, who are singularly unfitted for the delicate task. To meet the Russian spy on his or her own ground the Japanese have, it Is said, secured the services of some of the-rleverest women In Europe, many of them Frenchwomen, and often their visibly means of support Is by acting. Shortly before th warsburst suddenly In the far east! an English manager ' was conducting a Japanese troupe through Europe, and the tour led to Russia. While the troupe of actors was In Budapest a young Jap anese pleaded so hard to. join the com- of the Russian government regarding pany that he finally persuaded the ilobacce ( jifiiiirs In All Brands and Sizes We have them in stock.

Practically nothing was known of the young man. but he was educated, a pleasant companion, and appeared to have plenty of money. After the tour ended the manager discovered he was the son of the Japanese admiral whose name frequently appears tn the news papers In connection with the wonder ful naval feats he has accomplished during the war. In 'the same com pany were several very clever Japanese women, who kept their eyes and ears open during the tour, and there is lit tle doubt that their reports to their government had. something to do with the rapidity with which the Japanese struck the first blow, i , It was discovert vt so long ago AN ASTORIA PRODUCT Pale Bohemian Beer Best In The Northwest North Pacific Brewing Co. tt tt a a tt tt tt xx tt tt tt tt The Palace r Cafe The Best Restaurant Regular Meals. 25 Cents Sunday Dinners a Specialty Eierythisg the Market Affords Palace Catering Company aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa STAPLE AND FANCY GROCERIES Floor, Feed, Provisions, Tobacco and Cigars.

ASTORIA as two years backf, feasibility of an attack upon Japtrluwas considered seriously by the p&.slun government. Japan had been jfeparlng for a much longer period, an 1 consequently was able to strike first and strike hard. The Japanese police and military system has, of course, its secret serv ice; but it is not nearly so ubiquitous as is the so-called Third Section of the Russian police". ( Yet during the last few years little importance has transpired in Europe Effecting the situ ation In the far east ot which the Jap. anese foreign office has been ignorant. Her agents, the best of them, those so-caiiea iTencti actresses, .found a way of beind present wherever there was anything to be learned. Often these women encountered the women spies of the Russian government, who are undoubtedly among the cleverest detectives in their line in the world. Governments at war, or on the brink of hostilities, require the services of two distinct classes of spies. There must be many men connected with this dangerous service; but for the most part the work demands courage and skill rather than the delicate diplomacy which is required, too, but is general ly, certainly so far as Russia is con cerned, assigned to women of culture, education, .beauty and rare Judgment With the troops of the enemy are sent the men spies, and with the command ing officers, with the diplomats, with the brains which stay in St. Peters burg and move armies 5000 miles away as if they were pawns on a chessboard, the ingratiating clever women spies are to be found. While the Japanese have not been regarded as having an especially effi cient secret service, the events of the war have shown that the persons who are watching day and night for them have been of the greatest value. It is known that Just about the time the war broke out there were in Port Ar thur several French dancers, who had captured every Russian official heart They were not only attractive danc ers, but beautiful women, who dressed well and had most engaging manners. The Russian officers were charmed with them. They soon became better ac quainted and proved to be very agree able companions. They took a great interest in things military, but always made amazing blunders In attempting to repeat what had been told them. The womanly ignorance of such matters charmed the young officers all the more, and at the same time put them off their guard. But, as a matter of fact, they were very clever women, and their Information was forwarded speedily to the Japanese legation at Pekin, which, In turn, forwarded valu able reports to Tokio. By the time j their true character was known the J French actresses, who were spies for : the Japanese had left Port Arthur far I behind. I One of the most valuable assistants 1 the Japanese had at Port Arthur was a little servant who was not in the pay of th government, and who was not in any sense attached to their secret service. In fact, she was one of thoite poor, little, unknown patriots, who feel when their country Is at war that they should give their own lltle In significant aid. A short time after the first bom bardmcnt, the trains leaving Port Ar thur were filled with refugees. The Japanese, of course, though it politic to make a change of base, and the Run Inn were of the same opinion. Many left Immediately, but the little Jap anese servant remained. One even Ing there was a council, and the acrv ant, who was looked upon as an Ig ninrunt little child, waited on the olti Cera us usual, Plans and documents wre spread upon the table, the oftl cers smoked, drank and discussed the situation. The council lasted late, and then broke up. Finally there were only a few remaining In the room, and these, overtaken by Jack of rest, fell aslee. The little waitress came Into the room again, saw the few offlecra re maining were asleep, quickly picked up a bundle of the paper the saw lying on the table and thruttt them Into the folds of her kimono, (the bad not the slightest Idea of their Im portance, or what they were; but the officers had been In such earnest dis cussion that she gained the imprcs slon that they would be useful to her government. The first train out of Port Arthur that morning had among Its passengers the little servant, who had disguised herself as a coolie. Before the train started the papers had been missed, and a file of soldiers were drawn up alongside- of the wait ing cars, while an Inspector made a hasty search among the passengers. He did not, however, detect the coolie, who never wlncej du lng the search. The girl had been a favorite with the officers, and had been suspected only when It was learned ah had left The search proving unavailing, the train moved off toward Fekln. Arriving at Pektn the strange-look ing little figure presented herself be fore the door of the Japanese legation. A functionary tried politely to send her off, but she persisted.' She fnust see the minister.

The matter was very important. How important his excellency might know. Finally the little apy was admitted. She told the whole story. Matters of great Importance, Indeed, were learned, and the "coolie," replacing the strange mannish attire by the graceful kimono, received a sum of money and was sent to Japan. There her achievement was loudly heralded, and In her native town she soon became the center of curiosity and admiration. Fouche'a police during the first em pire were believed to be the perfection of the spy system: but the Russian third section In modern times has been proved a better, for Jt la a popular Impression, not so very far removed from fact, that one cannot whisper In Russia without the police hearing it. Theoretically the third section has been abolished, but, as a matter of fact, it Is in a state of healthy activity; I e tp ! i la t sii ' JL rUlill UIIO lriIlt and full of news from far anl near are the pages of THE MORNIN G AST0EIAN.

NATURE SPARES The Strlckea Uose From Grief, What a ortunate provision of nature It Is, that deprive the rose of mental suffering; for bow poignant would be its grief to discover, in the height of It blooming glory, that a canker fed at its heart, and that its beauty and fragrance were doomed forever. Nature always spares th suffering; she la a veritable store-house of pleasing rewards, for those who seek her aid. In the years gone by falling hair and grayness have cast a gloom over the lives of thousands of young women, but thanks to the In vestigations of scientists the true cause of hair destruction Is now known to be a germ or parasite that burrows into the hair follicles.
