DARING GERMAN SPIES
ENEMY WELL INFORMED
(Reo. September 30, 0.40 a.m.)
London, September 29. The Germans seem singujaiiy well-in-formed of the whereabouts of the Allies. Once a cavalry division dismounted under the shelter of a wooded hill and immediately shrapnel burst above them. Knowing themselves to' be invisible the cavalry searched the wood and discovered German officers and a civilian operating a field telephone. They shot the civilian and took the officers prisoners. In Reims a French General occupied a house at night and immediately burst, killing a colonel. The staff discovered a spy in the next house signalling the whereabouts by means" of lights. • Three spies, disguised as French officers, in a motor-car, and a fourth in woman's attire, on a bicycle, were stopped on Saturday at St. Die,-in the Vosges while attempting •to rush the lines. While they were being examined a horseman, in the uniform of a French major,- rode up and 'congratulated the captain on his vigilance. When rsked to show his papers he produced a forged pass. All were shot. .
