Women Can Keep Secrets
volved In any love affair. 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.''

That a woman ppy ra n b as

George's account of the German

We have built these models up to and beyond the 1931
standards of performance and quality in every way, and
have never in our history offered so many improvements.
Quality is greater down to the last detail Every phase of
performance has been greatly improved, and the luxury we
have built into the cars is substantially greater than ever
before. Motors are larger and more powerful. An efficient
system of oil cooling is introduced. A marked improvement
in carburetion increases flexibility and economy. Bodies arc
longer and wider. These cars possess the finest, easiest riding
qualities. For the first time, such comfort is available at
these low prices. Only great manufacturing economies and
the fact that our large resources permit us to take the fuliest
possible advantage of reduced commodity prices have en
abled us to effcr the public the greatest combination of qual
ity and low prices in our entire history.
