An Army doctor at present in Franca writes"l heard yesterday how they caught a spy.. There had been an old chap "with whiskers ploughing all day long directly behind our trenches, anil our chaps had always been fired at as soon as supplies were brought, or in fact shifted in any way. They couldn't understand; this', because they Vcre very careful not' to show themselves at all, I so they ret watch oil the old piouahliian, and blow 1110 if it wasn't liirn who was signalling their movements. When they collared him, too. his whiskers camo off with a pull, as ho •■was only a youngster of 2:2. We often . seo one or-two spies coming down tindor a guard, but they mostly seem nonchalant,. as tliey know what's cominjs It was tho Canadians who caught that chap."
