The obtaining of Intelligence re-

said Bcnthcim, was operated by the
Secret Service Department of the I'M
perlal Ministry of Marine. When q
document was obtained from any OF the
offices in Paris 1t was taken to Prince
Heinrich Hans Pless. the German rep
resentative in Paris, Through him 1t
went to the house Of one Of his sweet
hearts where copy was made. a few
hours later the original papers were re-
turned to the Office from whence they
came. The next move was to get these
papers to Berlin. Herr Franz, toy
manufacturers at Sonneburg. Germany,
aided i'll this. He would send dolls to
Paris to be dressed. In the body of
these little playthings the copies of
drawings and descriptive notes were
placed. From Paris they were sent by
post to Homrook, village in England
Here another agent was located. He
was Herr Lindau, at that time q part
ner In some mining operation being car
ried OH there. Lindau remailed the
dolls to Herr Franz at Sonneburg and
once there they were safe. From Son
neourg they were brought to the great
headquarters by Herr Franz, where I
translated many descriptions.

director OF sonneburg. was also In the
