A week ago th Oermena were retreating
from Warsaw. They turned at bay on

to push back th army or Emperor Nich

LONDON. Nor. J3.-At 7 o'clock on the
roggy morning or November . Csrl Hans
Lody, the German naval lieutenant, whom
the people of London had come to know
a "Lody the Spy," sat In a chair In a
courtyard of the old Tower of London
and faced a firing squad selected to put
him to death, lie had been convicted by
court-martial of communicating with the
German authorities to th detriment of
ICngland. and in view of tha ag.tatlon
raised throughout tha British Isles on the
queatlnn of alien enemies, no penalty but
death seemed to meet the situation.
This Is th usual fate of alt spies caught
In war time, but as th court-marital was
held In London, as remote In many' re
spect from th scene of fighting as New
Tork, some doubt was expressed at first
whether th xtrem penslty would ba In
flicted. It wss said even that certain
members of the cabinet favored life Im
prisonment. But, so the gossip runs, Lord
Kitchener, quick to seo the necessity for
extreme action with tha spy monace ao
rampant. Insisted upon the death penalty.
At any rate, Lody I dead. Ten aeconds
after he set In the chair In tha tower
courtyard, ayes unshielded at his own
request, he toppled forward lifeless, with
seven bullets through his breast. Half
an hour later an undertaker's wagon
came and the body was taken away for
burial in a pauper's grave.
Met Una Is Historical.
The scene of the execution the first In
the tower since the middle of the eight
eenth century Is but a few rods from the
fipota where Anne Boleyn, Lady Jan Grey
and other English celebrities died by the
axe i many years ago.
All the retainers and employes In the
tower' cluster of old structures soon
heard of th execution In fact, many of
them were awakened by the volley and
visitors who camo to the tower that day
were told of It In whisper. Lody had
died game, they said. Throughout th
night he had prayed with a British army
chaplain. To th last he refused to tdl
for what person In Germany he was act
ing. Nor was It disclosed t , th court-martial
Just what reports Lody had sent to
Germany. When certain documents were
discussed reporters were barred from th
room. That they were Important, now
ever, Is generally admitted. Those who
hav read soma of the reports pay high
tribute to Lody' clearance of expression
and tha acuteness of his observations.
Taken aa a whole. It ts said that his data
forms on of the most remarkable ex
hibit aver brought to the attention, of
Scotland Yard. ;
Looked Like American.
Lody was about 15 year old. but looked
.onnger. Though a native of Berlin, he
ad traveled widely, and ha spoke Eng
lish with almost an American accent.
This, together with the fact that he
looked Ilk an American, was ' doubtless
th main reason h was sent to England
aa a spy. He had spent much time here
before, but on the last occasion he came
In August shortly after hostilities were
declared with Germany.
Clever he was. the Intelligence cfflc
of the War department soon got wind or
hf actions, and he waa watched. It waa
during this shadowing that he Insisted
that he was Charles A. Inglls, an Ameri
can. In thl role he vn went to th
police and complained that he was being
followed. Thl tor a time threw off hi
pursuers, but the espionage was later
renewed and In October he was arrested.
Usioa Papera Have Loag Reports.
ciusn counsel derended him. Th
court-martial was short; the prisoner's
span of life after sentence was pro-
nouncea was even snorter. He wa taken
secretly to the tower and not until four
y arter hie execution was th new
officially made public.
Whether relatives will make any at
tempt to claim tha body I not krown

voting long account of hi death In on
ens strangely out of proportion, since
inousaaas die ch week on th continent.
nut Lody wa a spy. and there was
dash of tha pkituresque about him. and
na a led in the tower, which appealed to
tha British Imagination. No Englishman
lameal hia death; but all the newspapers
pay him th tribute of dying bravelv Ilk
a pnuovopner. II had accepted th risk
and b paid th penalty.

Germany Accuses
France of Violating
'Red Cross Treaty
WASHINGTON, Nov. tlCount von
Bernstorff, the German ambasraoor,
filed a not with th Stats department
today complaining of violations of Geneva
Red Cross convention or July , 1M6. of
which French troops ar alleged to have
been guilty.
The ambassador accompanied tlio not
with a long report from th Oerman for
eign office making detailed charges
Th charge declare that German
wounded were treated roughly and
brutally, sometimes robbed and la soma
cases mutilated and murdered. The com
plaint also declares French troops at
tacked German field hospitals and lobbed
them ot their personnel snd equipment.
In ene caa the commander or a hospital
column la aaid to have been arrested by
French troops and taken away, while an
other affidavit declare a German field
clergyman wa captured aad treated a a
criminal.'
It seems that In England it Is a com
mon practice to pull ull the teeth in order
to cure pyorrhoea, or Uisxs disease. Sir
John Goodheart, the famous surgeon, has
raised an earnest protest ata:nat this.
He said In the Lancet. "To one not an
expert It seems more i(oanable to hold
that so long aa the teeth ore In their
sockets, free from intense pain and ser
viceable for mastication, there is some
thing to be said on the side of keeping our
own rather than take to others that we
know not of." Store teeth detract from
lieal th and beauty. When you find the
teeth or gums are sore, painful to the
touch ot food or tongue, sensitive to beat
or cold, loose In their sockets, brittle, get
on edge easily, tender, or the gums
shrink from the necks of the teetn. it is
time for you to begin the work of de
stroying the microbes that Infeat the
crac ks or crannies of the teeth.
You can readily overcome these condi
tions by getting four ounces of fluid or
gan from the druggist (you don't need
more), and using; a teaeponful morning,
noon and nght, simply gargling the
mouth with this for a minute or so. The
microbes will be washed tut, the cracks
denned, the teeth become strong and firm
! In the gums, the hard foreign substances
, dUxs.ilve, i. and the yellow peel off. In the
morning you will again see th whit la
