This espionage, carried on not only

Of some prominent military men about
six years ago. A large number Of
German officers had been obtaining
drawings and plans Of the most accurate
descriptions OF all our system Of de-

Secretly investigating this matter it
was found, TO the astoh>shment OF those
so engaged, that German officers had
