wo min SECRET
SERVICE HEAD
BOULOGNE, France. Jan. 11—(For
respondence of the Associated Press)
—The report that a woman is at the
head of the German secret service de
partment in the eastern war zone, is
revived in a statement published here
from the pen of a Frenchman who
says he wns offered a position in the
German secret service at Lille.
This Frenchman says he was a
j cigar merchant in Lille before the
war, and after the German entry, made
a good living hawking cirgars and
cigarettes. Eventually he clashed
with the German nutliorltitles nnd was
1 compelled to abandon his trade. The
1 German military officials, however,,
noticed that he spoke German fluently,
land offered him a post as Interprter.
When he reported for duty he was
asked if he would not like to enter
the secret service at $5 a day and ex
penses. He replied in the affirma
tive and a wekk later he' was taken
to Antwerp in a military motor car.
"At Antwerp 1 was taken before
two officers,’’ he says, "who were ac
companied by a handsomely dressed
woman. I soon discovered she was the
most important person of the three.
She questioned and cross-questioned
me searchingly, and finally instructed
me to proceed to Hazebrouck and
other points in Northern France to re
port what troops were stationed there,
where they came from, and what was
their condition. She concluded her
talk by a tempting offer of money if
I wns able to secure any valuable in
formation 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 Lorreaeh
when I had finished my work. I left
Antwerp and crossed through Ger
many to Switzerland. On reaching
the French frontier, I presented my
self to a police official and told him
my story."

MANY JEWISH VOLUNTEERS
FIGHTING WITH BELIES
LONDON, Jan. 11 — (Correspondence
of the Associated Press)—More than
10,000 Jews are now serving In the
Ilritlsh army and navy and the army
cnsualty lists show that six officers
and over 40 enlisted men have been
killed and 150 reported wounded or
missing. In addition.
These figures are compiled by the
Rev. Michael Adler, the senior Jewish
chaplain to the forces. The Rev. Ad
ler has a son in the Royal Fusiliers,
and he himself expects to leave for the
front soon.
"Refore the war," says the Rabbi,
“there were only 500 Jews In the ser
vice. Since the war, all sections of
Jewry, rich and poor, have responded.
Two of our men have received dis
tlngushed conduct medals. There are
a large number of Jewish officers and
men In the Australian forces in Egypt,
while others took part in the opera
tions in Samon and New Oulnea.
Among the Canadian troops are about
300 Jews mostly sons of naturalized
Russian and Roumanian Jews. Jew
ish soldiers are to be found also In all
the training centers In England.”
SHOULD CHART
ALASKA
“The greatest need of Alaska is the
charting of her coast." says Dr. E Les
ter Jones, Deputy Commissioner of
Fisheries, in a report he has Just
made to the Secretary of Commerce,
after an investigation of conditions in
the territory. He adds " the fact that
today the United States government
has many veseels going to and fro, in 1
and out of Ainskan ports and waters,!
vessels of the Revenue Cutter Ser
vice, the Navy, the Coast and Geodetic
Survey, the Bureau of Lighthouses,
and tin* Bureau of Fisheries, to sivy
nothing of the fleet of commercial ves
sels, makes one wonder that the gov
ernment is willing to so constantly
risk many lives and such valuable
property in uncharted and dangerous
waters. Many of the waters, especi
ally in western Alaska, are not chart
ed, and although there are many very
dangerous points there are almost no
lighthouses. One hardly realizes the
vast amount of shore line—about 26,
000 miles, or more than the total coast
line of nil the States of the country
bordering on the Atlantic and Pacific
Oceans and the Gulf of Mexico. With
the exception of a lighthouse on Hin
chinbrook Island and two at Unimak
Pass, there are no lighthouses from
Icy Strait to Nome, a distance of near
ly 3,000 miles, and the region thus
neglected is traveled yearly by many
fishing and passenger vessels. hf
view of this condition, it seems re
markable that there have not been
more shipwrecks. In reCent years
there have been lost over 500 lives
and property valued at over $8,000,000.
I saw several wrecks of vesels serving
as landmarks, and is emphasized to
me the fact that, to insure her de
velopment Alaska needs to safeguard
her waters, which are the gateway to
her vast riches.”

WOULD COME TO ALASKA
“I wish we hail two hundred thous
and people in Juneau, so that we
w oft Id have a school large enough to
employ just one-half of the teachers
living in the States who seek teach
ers' situations in Alaska,” said W. W.
Shorthlll, secretary to the Governor
to a reporter. In remarking upon the
number of letters of inquiry Tfmt the
office answers in a year's time.
"We get scores of letters from appli
cants,” said Mr. Shorthlll, “and for
a time we wrote letters to each one,
explaining that we had no power to
give them positions, and giving them
the information sought. But finally
the letters came so thick and fast that
we had a circular printed, which we
now use as our reply."

WAR PRAYER
HOUR
BERLIN, Jan. 11—(Correspondence
of the Associated I’ress)—The "war
prayer hour” has become a feature of
the capital's daily life. It Is one of
those institutions of the war whose
Inauguration nobody noticed in the
first excitement, but which since then
have forced the attention of the public
by virture of being helpful. The "war
prayer hour" is at nine every even
ing and is held in most of the churches
of Berlin.
The people who attend the "hour”
make a most Interesting crowd, which
could not be better described than was
done by one of the fcuilletolsts of the
Vosstsche Zeitung.
“Over the maze of streets hangs a
heavy wet evening. In whose mists
the street lamps look like so many
dying suns surrounded by sheafs of
red rays. Under them moves a busy
crowd and bustling traffic—not quite
so large as at other times. The
stream of humanity on the sidewalk
seems Indefatlguable—inexhautable.
It is made up of business people fol
lowing their daily habits, of soldiers
who carry arms in white and black
slings, officers in smart city uniforms,
and women.
"Over it all breaks of a sudden the
deep, metallic voince of the church
bplls, calling upon man to look front
the things on Karth to those Above.
It is nine—the hour of the war pray
er.
“Through the main portal of the
church the crowd begins to enter
large families mostly and now and
then a venerable couple. But through
the small side doors enter hundreds
of women—the timid, the lonely.
Bark still reigns in the pompous
church interior, hiding the glistening
mosaics and the other stony splendor
But the senses establish that the
church is croweded long before it is
time for the service to commence—
crowded with those who seek comfort
and consolation.
"The clock strikes nine—the war
prayer hour has come! Of a sudden
the lights In the vaults above flash up,
filling thA* interior with a light as
strong as that of day. And with this
comes the mighty flood of the organ,
rising and rising- until it has reached
a sublime and overwhelming volume
in 'Glory Be Unto God on High.’
“Light floods the church and in it
faces and expressions may be studied.
It is surprising, though easily explain
ed, that three-quarters of those pres
ent are women. There are old and
wrinkled mothers; pale and sad girls,
young and beautiful women. And
each of them brought her own sorrow,
her own troubles to the holy place, all
of them seek refuge from some angu
ish or impending fate in litis abode of
spiritual elevation and sublime un
worldiness.
"Women, women, nothing but wo
men. Out on the fields of the enemy
tights a ‘united people of brothers,’
and here within cold walls suffers, so
it appears, a 'united people of sisters.'
“Out on the street they are all
strangers to one another. Here in the
house of God they stand one another
near. In silent throng beat a thous
and pulses, but in the tempo of a com
mon misery and a common longing
for consolation and a lessening of their
burden. There is the mother who
trembles for her son, the wife who
fears for the life companion and the
father, and the girl who prays for the
future husband.
“The man in the pulpit utters kind
and timely words, and when the organ
peals forth: ‘We Come Before Thee
with Prayer,' then all answer with
resignation and the decision to accept
their fate ns a lot cast by the Su
preme. When the lust tones of the
organ die, it is no longer fear the
throng senses but reverence and con
solation.
