HEAD, GERMAN SECRET
SERVICE, EAST WAR ZONE
Boulogne, France.—The report that a
woman is at the head of the German se
cret service department in the eastenr
war zone. Is revived in a statement pub
lished here from the pen of a French
man who says he was offered a position
in the German secret service at Rille.
This Frenchman says he was a cigar
merchant In I,Me before the war, and
after the German entry, made a good
living hawking cigars arid cigarettes
Kveniually he clashed with the German
authorities and w s compelled to aban
don his irnde The German military of
ficials, however, noticed that he spoke
German fluently, and offered him a post
as Interpreter. When he reported for
duty he was asked If he would not like
to enter the secret service at $5 a day
and expenses. He replied in the affirma
tive and a week inter he was taken to
Antwerp in a military motor car.
“At Antwerp I was taken before two
officers," he says, “who were accom
panied hy a handsomely dressed woman.
I soon discovered she was the most im
portant person of the three. She ques
tioned and cross-questioned me search
ingly, and finally Instructed me to pro
e»f*d to Har.ebrotick and other points In
Northern France to report what troops
were stationed there, where they came
fVom. and what was their condition.
Hhe concluded her talk hy a tempting of
fer of money if I was able to secure any
valuable information, supplementing this
with a frightful picture of the fate that
would befall a traitor.
“She gave me $125 for my expenses
and directed me to report at I.orrach
when I had finished rny vrrtrk 1 left
Antwerp and crossed through Germany
to Switzer and. On reaching the French
frontier. I presented myself to a police
official and told him my storv.”
