Immediately Henry Smith and every

8 MISTAKES OF GERMAN SPIES .

of the famous French 10" gun was kept
and how General Deloye. director Of artl
lery ut the Ministry of War. neatly fooled
the Germans. II wa~ IN 1894. and Com
mandan Deport was completing HI famous
10" at Puteaux. The Germans had.
through their -pie-. cot wind that -ornc-
thing important wa atoot. and II behooved
the French War Office TO BE- very much
on the alert. General Deloye took the matter
N hand. and tins wa how things happened
A foreman IN the works AT P~uteaux. after
much seeming hesitation. allowed himself
>arie- ot plans Of a new euu that was be
inc constructed at Puteaux. Won Schwart-
zkoppen wa delighted. From separate
sources of Information. he had reason to
believe that the plans were genuine. And
- they were But they were the plans of
the Ducros, and mol the Deport gun. aud
the ''treacherou>' foreman was a traitor
by government order.
This was u good start, but General De
loye went several better. He authorized
the exhibition Of the Ducros gun to for
eIgn military attaches, had II experimental

severely barred. So that the German Gen
eral staff became convinced that France
had decided on it, new field artillery, and
that 1t was the Ducros type.
Shortly aiterward one of the pretended
new guns-Ducros type-was purpoSelv
mlslaid with a whole caisson of shells-and
both cai>son and gun soon found their way
across the frontier. The German factories
got To work, aud by 1896 they had their a
gun the same type ~ the Ducros. and with
rather a faster fire. And then the Ger

on the other side, for il was in this wear
that the Deport gun-the 15-was perfect

French army. The secret had been well
kept. not only from the Germans. hut even
from the reporter of the Army Budget, who.
To the very last moment. believed. with the
rest Of IN. world. that the new gun was TO
