Intelligence.
without doubt the most important
division of the general staff and
upon whose information and efforts
the whole machine hinges. is the intel
ligence department, really covering
many different felds-for instance,
general science, especially strategy,
topography, ballistics, but mainly the
procuring of information, data, plans,
maps, ETC., kept more or less secret by
other powers. In this division the
brightest young officers and general
officials are found. The training and
knowledge required of the men in this
service are ~exacting to a degree. 1t
requires in most cases the undivided
attention-often a life study-toa sim
gle subject.
1t has been the answering policy of
the Prussian military authorities to
know as much of the rest Of the Euro
pean countries as they know of their
own. In the war of 1901, German
commanders down to the lieutenant
leading a small detachment had accu-
rate information. charts and data OF
every province in France, giving them
more accurate knowledge of a foreign
country than that country had Of it.
self.
1t is a notorious fact that, after the
defeat of the French armies at Weis-
enburg and Worth and later at Metz,
the French commanders and officers
lost valuable time and strategical posi-
lions through sheer ignorance of their
own country. This Is impossible under
the Prussian system. Today there is
not a country In Europe Of which
there are not the most elaborate

in charge of a battery in Toulouse.
To military or naval officers and
men of affairs the reason n benent
of such a system are obvious. me
general reader, however, may not
quite see the point. The position OF q
commander in the field is analogous
to the executive head Of a big selling
concern. A semi-personal knowledge
of the foibles and characteristics OF
his customers without doubt gives
him an advantage over a rival con-
Germ, neglecting the personal equation
being really more important than Is
generally understood. This has long
been recognized and fully taken ad-
vantage of by the German army au-
thorities.
Aerial Weapons.
Within the last few years an en-
tirely new, and, according to German
ideas, most important factor has en-
tered and seriously disturbed the rela-
tive military power of European ma
lions. This is the aerial weapon.
Since the days of Otto Llienthal
and his glider, it has been the policy
of Germany to keep track Of all inven-
tons likely to be embodied and made
use of In the wal machine. It Is a far
cry from Lilenthal's glider to the last
word in aerial construction such as
the mysterious zeppelin-Parseval sky
monster that, carrying a complement
of twenty-five men and twelve tons OF
explosives, sailed across the North
sea, circled over London, and returned
to Germany. Lilienthal's glider kept
aloft four minutes, but this new dread

taking details.
Exhaustive Knowledge of Enemies.
While undergoing instructions in
the admiral stab In the Koniggratzer
Strasse 20 previous to my being sent
on an English mission, a controversy
0 between my instructor and my
self as to the distance between two
towns on the Lincolnshire coast. He
pushed a button and requested the an
swering orderly to bring map Ga and
the officer in charge.
With the usual promptness both map
and officer appeared. The officer, who
could not have been more than twenty
five years of age, discussed with me in
fluent ~colloquial English the whole of
this section of Lincolnshire. Not q
hummock, road, roadhouse, ever to
farmers residences and blacksmith
shop, of which he did not have exact
knowledge.
l expressed establishment at this
most unusual acquaintance with the
locality, and suggested that he must
have spent considerable time in resi-
dence there. Conceive my astonish-
ment when informed that the only
voyage ever undertaken by him led
him as far as Helgoland.
Subsequently, through careful in
~quiries~and research-my work bring
ing me into constant contact with the
various divisions found that the
whole of England, France and Russia
was carefully cut into sections, each
/ of those sections being in charge of
two officers and a secretary whose
sole duty it was to acquaint and make
themselves perfectly familiar with
everything in that particular locality.
Through the far-reaching system of
espionage, the latest and most up-to-
date information is always forthcom-
ing, and time and again l myself, often
returning from a mission like one of
those to the naval base in Scotland,
have sat by the hour verbally amplify.
ing my previous reports.
A part of the intelligence system is
the personality squad, whose duty il
is to acquaint themselves with the per
sonality of every army and navy Off
Ger OF the leading powers. I have seen
reports as to the environments. habits,
hobbies and general proclivities OF
men such as Admiral Fisher, com

sure of almost eight meters. Such
feats as this are significant. They are
at the same time the outcome and the
u of the development of this part
of the war machine.
1t is my purpose here to tell you
how far Germany has advanced and
progressed in this struggle for mas
terry of the sky. l shall disclose facts
about her system that have never APP
peared In print-that have never been
heard in conversation. They are
known only to the general staff at Ber-
lin, not even in the cabinets Of Eu.
rope.
Secret Aerial Strength.
Germany without doubt has the most
up-to-date aerial feet in the world.
The budget of the reichstag of 1908
1909 allowed and provided for the
building and maintenance of twelve
dirigibles of the Zeppelin type. So
far as the knowledge of the rest Of
the world Is concerned this is all the
sky navy that Germany possesses. It
Is a fact, though, that she has three
times the number that she officially
acknowledges.
The diribigle-balloon centers in Ger
many are five, and they are situated at
vitality strategic points. There are two
on the French border, one on the Rus
sian border, one On the Atlantic coast,
and a central station lear Berlin. The
exact places are Strassburg, Frank
fort on the Main, Posen, Wilhelms-
hafen and Berlin. This does not in.
clude the marvellous station at Helgo-
land in the North sea, this being a
strategic point in relation to Great
Britain. Nothing is known about this
Helgoland station. None but those on
official business are permitted within
a thousand yards Of it. I shall tell
things concerning 1t.
Besides these purely military posts
there are a number Of commercial sta
lions necessary as depots Of the regu-
lar transportation aerial lines that
operate for the convenience Of the
public. Like Germany's commercial
steamers. however, they are controlled
and subsidized by the government. At
a few hours notice they can be con
verified and made use Of for govern
ment purposes. Taking these trans
portation lines into consideration. it
is safe to state that by now Germany
could send fifty huge airships to war.
