guessed it would be that His very
question showed that it was useless
for me to deny that l had been at the
Black Forest conference, where Ger
many had tried her best to isolate
France by winning over England. Pos
sibly Churchill, recalling my meeting
him during the Boer war, had dropped
word about this coincidence to his
Lordship.
Naturally told him I possessed no
such data. Still, I did not like the
trend of his talk / began to suspect
that this British minister was doing
one of two things Either he did not
know everything about the Black For
est meeting-(not at all improbable
with the condition existing in Eng
lands cabinet at that time))or else
he wanted to learn if knew the tenor
Of that conference. In either case it
was one Of those occasions where I
deemed it wise to keep my own coun-
sci.
After many searching questions
upon the French system and her army
and navy. he began 20 try to lead me
to make comparisons between their
strength and England's, these being
based upon my personal observations
This and the whole trend of his
thought, led me to suspect that Sir
Edward Grey was in noways sure in
his own mind of, or favorable to. the
proposed German English alliance
With men like his Lordship personal
antipathy plays a powerful part in
such matters.

divulge the contents of any personal

At this Sir Edward began to

not progressing. Finally he came out
with what was on his mind.
do you know if any officials or ma
val officers are selling or negotiating
to sell information to foreign intelli-

Although he had not said English
officers or officials, I knew what he
meant, but made up my mind not to
tell everything I knew.
There are such" I replied.
1t had the effect of making him
lcok at me in the most startled man
ner.
How do you know that? On what
grounds do you make that assor-
tion?" His agitation was ill-concealed.
Il have no specific proof" I replied
(which Ihad)-"but from informa-
ton that has been gained from plans
that have been secured-plans like
those Of your dreadnaughts Queen

these things have been done with the
cooperation Of high officials of your
country"
He pressed me for further details,
but l withheld them.

Were you, for instance. at the Schlang-

Any documentary evidence of having
been there?"
