URGES AIRCRAFT STUDY Glenn Martin Points to Lack of Sales. / LONDON, September 17 () —Glenn L.

Such is the conclusion of Dr. Thomas J. LeBlanc from a statistical analysis of the stature of Japanese youths 20 years old, which has just been an- nounced by the Tohoku. Imperial Uni- versity. o About 500,000 are measured annually for military service. ‘The mean height in 1892, Dr. LeBlanc found, was 1.28 inches shorter than in 1926. This in- crease, he says, is statistically signifi- % | cant and there s no-evidence that the trend will not continue for some time. The analysis also showed that as Japanese youths 'grow taller the tallest ones tend to be lighter in weight than were the tallest ones in 1917. The rea- son for the phenomenon is unknown. Dr. LeBlanc suggests that it may not be confined to the Japanese and that other races may be growing taller for the same hidden reasons. T. R. H. (Copyright, 1931) How Disfiguring!

LANCASTER, Mo., September 17 (#). —Attorneys for approximately 350 em- ployes of the Robbins Brothers circus were busy yesterday attempting to col- lect three weeks' back wages due, the employes, or, in lleu of the pay, to at- tach the circus equipment. Many of the employes are stranded here. The circus came to Winter quarters Tuesday” from Mobile, Ala., where it closed cne of the poorest show seasons on record. Officials of the circus denied reports the show had been abandoned. They said they knew ncthing about the em- ployes' efforts to attach the show. Circus officials have offered workmen two weeks' pay and performers one week's pay. Only a few of the hungry have accepted. Fishermen report that fewer salmon visited River Nore, Irish Free State, this season than at any time in 100 years. NATA HARILEGERD | LNES N DAUGHTER Arrest on Espionage Charge Recalls Mother’s Death by Firing Squad. Special Dispatch to The Star. MUNICH, September 17.—The gaudy legefd of Mata Hari, dancer, courtesan and spy, is a long time dying out. It has just been given a fresh spurt with the arrest in France oh an_esplonage charge of & young woman claiming to be Mata Hari's daughter. This young carrier-on of an apparent family tra- ‘dltlon in the field of esplonage says that she was solemly commissioned to clear her mother's name of spy guilt, an offense for which the flaming demi- mondaine was executed by the French in 1917, Any contention that Mata Hari was not a German agent may be denied on very good authority. On the authority, in fact, of the officer (also a woman) who was responsible for getting Mata Hari a chance in the German spy serv- ice, who instructed the dancer in her war dutles, ‘and who was intensely | chagrined when it turned out that Mata Hari, as a spy, was a sickening failure. The officer in question, chief of the French section of the German intelli- | gence service of the western front dur- |ing the war, is Dr. Elsbeth Schrag- | mueller, better known to the allied spy organizations as ‘“‘Mademoiselle Doc- teur.” Living quietly today in Munich, where this correspondent has had occa-~ sion to talk with her extensively about her war experiences, she was, of course, an infinitely more important cog in the vast machinery of conflict than Mata Harl herself. ‘Was Agent H-21. ‘To “Mademoiselle Docteur,” the glit- | tering dancer was merely “Agent H-21,” |8 woman already in her 40s, who en- tered the German spy service frankly for the money there was in it—a last grasp at the luxurious life she had led up to that time. What the effort actu- ally led to was death under the bullets of a French firing squad at Vincennes. To the last Mata Hari denied her guilt. Records show not & single actual g-:ol‘upbflnmmmm mmwtsc ]ultlfled“i:‘\_ poilu ever lost his life because of Mata Harl's espionage. No damage resulted to France or her allies through her doings. As a spy Mata Hari was a colossal faflure. But she was & spy.” Mata Harl opened her heart to Dr. Schragmueller as woman to woman at. a critical stage of her life. The dancer came to Germany during the war, of- fered her services as a spy, and was accepted on “Mademoiselle Docteur's” recommendation only after strong re- luctance on the part of Col. Nicolai, chief of the entire Germany intelligance service, Interview Granted. Col. Nicolal consented to seeing Mata Hari (contrary to French belief, she had not been in the German service prior to that time) and a meeting took .‘.5‘;’.? Mata Hart's knc °‘1"’a°}‘," "x’p’l‘u"t‘fl owledge of and military matters, and her general sought. ‘The result of this examination, which took place in one of the larger cities of Middle Germany, was that she was finally employed as “Agent H-21." Having submitted proofs of her re- Iatic p with French officers of ‘the hlfi-mn rank, as well as with other dig- nitaries of the entente, Mala Hari ridiculed - “Mademoiselle Docteur’s” anxiety that she would be e ly sel “It is-out of the question that.I, the adored idol of the French people, should be suspected of espionage,” she main- tained.

The chief’s 0ppo- | Docter sition only increased; he did not deny that the dancer was in close touch with persons of high standing in the enemy | ‘countries, but he doubted her fitness to turn these connections to account as a spy.
