"Husband Betrayed For Country"

Paris, Sept. 20.

DEATH has set its seal on the drama of Mme. Cridlig, the blonde beauty queen aged 20, convicted of espion- age against France.

Broken with remorse at having supplied the evidence which brought five years' imprisonment for her husband and a sentence for herself, she swam out from the fashionable pro- menade at Rabat yesterday and allowed herself to drown.

A friend said to-day:

Her husband, a sergeant-major in an anti-aircraft regiment, would never have been teled for espionage had. It not been for the fact that Mme. Cridlig became friendly with a young French army officer.

The commission said these posters also called the attention of passers- by to the tendency of Acme beer to "slenderize" those who quaffed it.
