and late fiction are full of it.
This story is of the working OF
the British War Office and discloses
the treachery of those high in
| authority. While it is only fiction
1t gives an insight into how some
of the closest kept secrets leak
out.
London's greatest financier and his
nephew. an officer in the English
army are both of German descent
andt hey secretly work for Ger
man interests. Their positions place
them above suspicion. Their
frie nds contide in them and these
secrets are passed on to the enemy.
A Surgeon. General of the Hospital
Service is suspicious but whenever
he breathes doubt to others. he
is either laughed at or snubbed.
He preserves until he is able to
prove that he is correct in his sur
mise. A romance threads its way
through the story that adds greatly
to the interest.
