(I. N. S.) The seductive wiles of beautiful women spies Is made the ' subject of a special warning In a cir cular card issued to every officer and -soldier In France -by an adjutant gen eral at-the command of General Per shing., Specific Instructions are given regarding what not to write and say In ' public. - Under the heading; In large type, "Don't Talk Too Much !" appears ,the -following : ' "Never forget we are at war with an f enemy that is always listening. Always look with suspicion on strangers. Never tell anything of a confidential nature to ' women, as women are the most suc cessful of all spies." Uniform Sot Always' Safeguard , This word of caution was issued be - cause It has been the experience of every j nation at war that women and girls find It easier to obtain access to mlll- tary secrets because the average soldier, while regarding Questioners with suspi cion, falls to comprehend the extent to "which the enemy Is using attractive ; girls. i The warning continues : i ' "Be suspicious of anyone who : asks ' questions of a military nature or appears , unduly Interested In military matters, i even though he may appear to be an American officer. Don't offer unsolic ited Information. Tou have no right to tell anyone where any unit is nor what - military Information comes Into .your possession unless It Is your official duty " to do so. Any strange man, woman or child, or even a man tn the uniform of : the American or allied armies may be a . epy- i "Don't tell him anything you wouldn't t be willing for the enemy to hear. For similar reasons never enter Into corre- spondence with strangers. It Is one of the many schemes used by enemy agents f to gather information. Be Confident of Snece i" "On the street or in public places re- member walls have ears. i : "Don't express your opinion on mlli t tary matters nor the general situation. : Be loyal to your government and your I superiors. Trust them ,to conduct the war while you attend to your own par ticular part in It. t "Avoid giving any Impression of pes ..; sim ism in eitner your conversation or attitude. In all ways be confident of ; the success of our armies and .our f ause. i I The cards were issued not only for the I fpurpose of laying "jdown regulations but 1 also to explain to the boys exactly -why It Is necessary to restrict their writings ana conversation. The foreword says "Remember, the enemy has agents al ; ways alert to gather Information. Details t apparently unimportant may be com s blned with other details gathered by the enemy and become information of great importance to him. Don't forget that 'news travels so quickly under modern r .conditions that bits of Information you write home may be In the hands of the enemy a short time afterwards." I ; Then follows a list of "Don'ts" In f writing letters and postcards barring . references to localities, movement and - condition of troops, losses and effects of feostile fire. it Printed Letters Frowned On "Don't allow friends at home to pub i llsh your letters in newspapers. Don't put too much faith in the discretion of the people- you write to. They may be very patriotic, yet quite unable to rec ognize an enemy agent or what informa 5 tlon may be of value to the enemy. Above all don't attempt to 'formulate any " system ot Cipher or code or shorthand or any other means of concealing the ; true meaning of your letters. It Is the I surest road td -courtmartlal and severe punishment.' Then follows a section informing the soldiers- what they may write and to whom. Instructing .that no communica tion shall be had whatsoever with enemy prisoners of war. ' Another paragraph instructs the men to carry -no notebooks, maps or paper containing military information as they may be stolen by enemy pickpockets or captured. The last paragraph la headed ; "It you, are captured," and directs. the men as follows: ' , "Don'r remember any more than you can help.
