Made moiselle le Docteur ("lleinrlch sen' is believed to have been her original surname) appreciated the danger of introducing the "love' motif into ho serious a business as wartime espoinage. She knew, too, that her enemies employed female counter-spies. Sir George relates an Incident about a Dutchman Bent by her to drank too much and revealed se- ' crets to a French cat ret girl, an agent of the French intelligence department. The strength of .Made moiselle le Docteur lay In her "frenzied devotion" to her mission, nccording to Sir (ieorge. "She faced all risks in its advancement.' She did not have to face-them alone, however, as aha was alwayH guarded by an escort of two men j foot. Concerning the notorious "Mata Hari'' (already described by sev eral biographers). Sir George first tells the various legends which have been circulated about her and then briefly states the known facts gathered from the written evidence of her identification pa- I lers. She was born of Dutch par- IMti int ents named Hell in Holland. At I other. the age of IS she married an of ficer In the Dutch colonial army named Macleod. He took her to Java. In this tropical spot Mar guerita Macleod learned to dance and fathomed the secrets of the dancing lore of the east. Mr. and Mrs. Macleod returned to Holland and lived there for a while as any' ordinary Dutch couple would live. Then Marguerita was abandoned by her husband. ' She was left penniless. A few years later Mar guerita, bored with life In a Dutch vlllugo und tired of being Bup poried by relations, decided to go to Paris to make money: She went to Paris and danced. She became famous all over Kurope as the mysterious Mata Ilarl ( Hyes of the Morning), who knew how to dance like a temple girl in Java. "It Is for France' The date when she first became a secret agent for Germany is not known. Sir George thinks she acted In this new role before the outbreak of the war. When accused directly of being a German spy by Scotland Yard officials, Mata Harl declared: "1 am indeed an agent; but for tho oche? No! a thousand times! It is for France that I act!" . The net result of her cross examination in England was that she was sent to Spain with some good advice as to her future pro cedure. In Spain she was observed to be much in the company of the German military attache. Mata Hurl herself always succeeded in covering her tracks, says Sir George. It was only when a Ger man officer sent her a messag to call at a neutral legation for a large sum of money that Mata Harl was caught. She was arrested, tried by court martial and sen tenced to be shot. On the day be fore her execution she is said to have bathed and danced. Kight other German spies were condemned to death In Fiance und probably all were executed.

The old theory that women can not keep a secret has been denied by men who have employed wo men In secret service work. Sir George Aston, K. C. ., formerly of the British naval intelligence department and the secretariat of the war cabinet, also refutes the old theory. Sir' George, who was intrusted with many of the great est secrets of the last war, writes favorably of women ples in "Se cret Service," Just issued by the Cosmopolitan Hook corporation. "t agree with those who main tain that women keep secrets of national Importance better than men do,' he observes. Sir (ieorge gives his reasons for believing that women spies hold their tongues better than men as follows: "There is a stamp of man who wants to earn a reputation for being 'in the know' about naval nnd military affairs, especially in time of war, while taking very lit tle. Interest in the family lives' of his colleagues. With the other s'x it seems to be tho other way round." Tho employment of women ns spies or as secret agents is not favored in Hritain, however, ac cording to the writer. The liritlsh government disapproves of the wo man spy on the ground that thre Is "uncertainly in the relationship between the spy and the victim of espoinage. Also there is with us a strong objection to subjecting wo men to the death penalties which would be meted out to them If discovered.''
