the only problem that needs solutEoS
in dispatches of this kind is to ascer-
tain the key umber or key word.
When that is accomplished, the re-
mainder is easy, though generally very
tedious. Indeed it is difficult TO conceive
Of more tiresOme. head splitting piece
of work than either to cipher CT Geci-
pher q dispatch of some 1,50O. or 2,O00
words The writer talks from sad and
weary experience.
Some governments change the key
word or key numerals with each dis
patch, according to settled arrange
menG Others, again, change it every
month. Sometimes it is placed at the
beginning of the dispatch, at other
times at the end. To the uninitiated a
dispatch Of this ki1 id will appear in the
nature of a Chinese puzzle. but to an
expert cryptographer the deciphering
of a government code dispatch is mere
child'S play.
Occasionally the dispatch will appear
a mere tumble of ronSOnants without
any meaning, while at other times it
will be so ciphered !as to contain SenSi-
BILE and plausible sentences, the mean
ing of which appears on the surface.
1t was a code of this kind that was
used by the Spanish secret agents in
