Nine persons, eight Japanese and
dercne Spanirh-Hawalian are under
arrest and the federal officials have
$250,000 in counterfeit money and two
. plates designed for the manufacture
of the bills. The opeftttionS have
been in progress for ' approximately
two years and began, apparently. |
among persons engaged in the opium j
traffic.
The authorities said that the smug-1
glers of opium into the territory were;
the victims of a grim little joke and!
‘‘the double-cross supreme"—in re
turn for the opium they managed to
bring into the territory they received
large sums of counterfeit money. The
fact that they were engaged in an il
legal operation was counted on to
prevent them from notifying the

Croatian Female Spy Lands

In Agram Jail; Too Smart
BKIrtlRADH. Jugoslavia. Aug. 25—
if Danltza Androlitch hart been con
tent to rto her spy work quietly ami
without ostentation, she probably
would still he at liberty, ami still of
use to her employers. But she must
have tired of the lack of excitement
I attached to getting military Informa
tion of Jugoslavia for the oftlrers of a
foreign power, and therefore decided
to liven things up a bit by playing
: two hands at once
I Danltza Is a Croatian woman, and
: the story from Agram, where she is
now behind the bars charged with
' spying for Italy, sets forth that, un
| der the alias of Ida Ulruer, she ap
pea red before the Serbian chlef-of
stuff of the Croatian capital and of
fered her services to secure and Sell
him Italian military information. .The
chief listened to her tale, but was not
Impressed. So little did he Ilk*
Danitza that he detailed two of hia
men to watch the woman day and
night until they got something on her.
Eventually It waa reported to the
chief that Danitza had sent out of
i the country, and to Italian agents. It
' was said. 12 military documents, each
one in a private code. Then she waa
arrested. So thorough was she In
her work that stye learned her ttodas
heart.
