EDITORIAL NOTE. - William Le-
Queux, who here chronicles for his
friend, Count Ernst Won HeltzendOrff,
the latter's revelations of the inner
life of the imperial German court, has
long been recognized throughout Eu-
rope as the pOssessOr of its innermOst
secrets.
The English "WhO's Who" says of
him: "He has intimate knowledge of
the secret service of Continental cOun-
tries and Is considered by the govern
ment (Of Great Brittany an authority on
such matters" Another authority says;
"Few people have been more closely as
ISOLATED with or know more of the
astounding inner machinery of Ger
many than he.'
LeQueux probably has more sources
of secret Information at his command
than any contemporary In civil life, and
for the last six years the British Gov
eminent has made valuable use of his
vast store of secret information through
a specially organized department with
which LeQueux works as n voluntary
assistant.
Count Won HeltzendOrff became an in
innate of LeQueux several years prior
to the outbreak of the war; he has been
living in retirement in France since
August, 1914, and 1t was there that Lee
