Burglars Turn Spies And Win Redemption

Read NEWS-TIMES Want Ads

r.KXKVA, June R. A FrenchSwiss paper ghes the following version of a sensational incident which has been told in several forms: Recently two elegantly dressed men, carrying a heavy satchel, appeared at the offices of the Italian general staff in Korne and demanded an audience with the chief of the intelligence department. When they were received by this official they made sensational disclosures and delivered all the documents of the Austro-Huncarian espionage bureau in Zurich. The men were two notorious Italian burglars, who were known and feared from one end of the kingdom to the other. When the war broke out they were called to the colors and detailed to the same regiment. Life in the trenches did not suit them and they decided to desert. They escaped to Switzerland and settled in Zurich, where they plied their old trade with considerable success. Regretting their desertion, the

burglars decided to use their abilities in the interest of their country by "cleaning out" the Austro-Hun-garian espionage bureau in tbo Zurich consulate of the dual monarchy. Accidentally they made the accpuaintance. of a former officer of the Italian navy who had been cashiered many years before, and after an adventurous life in many countries, had entered the serice of Austria as a spy. From this man the two men obtained detailed plans of the offices of the consulate and after a thorough preparation they carried out their raid on the espionage bureau. They bought the most modern tools and with their .aid they were able to open the 'safes in the consulate quickly and without much difficulty. The safes, which contained the most important documents, had compattments til'ed with poisonous gases meant to kill any burglar who might dare to tamper with them. The burglars had learned this from the former Italian naval officer, who

had turned against his Austrian employers and aided the burglars on the promise of a liberal reward, riocuring masks like those worn by soldiers in the trenches, they were able to open the compartments containing the deadly gases without danger to themselves. Although they worked nearly two hours, they were not disturbed. They made their escape safely, but had difficulty in getting out of Switzerland and were compelled to wait many weeks before they were able to smuggle the stolen documents across the Italian frontier.

An e'g beater" is of great advantage in lightening daily tasks. If, in making cream sauces, soups, etc., the mixture becomes lumpy, beat with egg beater and it will 1 ecomo smooth and velvety. In cooKing potatoes for soup or apples for a puree, if they are well cooked, then beaten with the egg beater, the Fame result will be obtained as though they had been put through a strainer, and it. will be much less trouble.

The game brws in 2 8 of our states, including Alaska, do not protect the rabbits. Most farmers refuse to protect the raid. its, whose "taking ways" have proved annoying.
