New York.-A Park cable to
the New York World telia of an
unusual spying system unearthed
9 by the police of Paris, in which
lithographs, supposedly advertis
ing goods of a German manufac
turer, were used as guides to the
German army. The story fol
lows:
According to authorities here,
most com Diets and unusual spy
ing systems were in operation by
Germans within toe confines of
Ranee, and even Paris, before
the declaration of war. . So to
day the polio* ware busy remov
ing all possible aids to the ene
my.
The most extraordinsr discovery
was that a company designating
itself as the "Bouillon Rub"
(Soup Cubs), a German firm do
ing an immense business in
France with compressed .meat es
sences, was using its billboard
advertisements for iUidt pur
poses.
Various arrangements of its
cubes on the lithographs, so that
they appeared io- groups of dif
ferent number*. or looked like
triangles, or bore oartain geo
metric relations to each other,
all bore hidden messages intend
ed for the German invaders. At
Met, ao my experts ia cryptog
raphy, or secret writing, who
made their reports to the govern
ment.
An innocent looking sign on
the aide of a road in a depart
ment far removed from the dty,
according to the decipherers,
meant: ‘This, village has m
many inhabitants, so many armed
men. ao many cattle which may
be seized, eo many bakeries,"
and ao on.
To a casual observer the dgn
would mean nothing but a sug
gestion to buy and iae the "Bou
illon Kub," but to a German reg
iment it would mean sustenance
and knowledge of incalculable
value.
The idea ia believed to have
. been borrowed from the Ameri
cas tramp, who Is mid to leave
chalk marks upon gateways indi
cating the treatment other tram pa
may expect to receive.
All over France today, dty and
village and department authori
ties were tearing down the ad
vertisements.
The gendarmes of Veraaillea
today descended upon a suspect
sd house near the Rue Aero
drome, and found there a cou

and a large number of cipher
dispatches and documents in Ger
