Hiloa Won Stuttgart was a clever
woman, who had worked for the
Fatherland in most European coun-

Queen informed me that she had.
been a personal friend of her own for
many years, and was devoted to the

Amazing Intrigues
She was intimately acquainted with
q. heir to the Sultan of Turkey, and

Greece and her people. Their intri-

she told me when she returned that
she had not wasted a moment of her
time I inquired if none of those she
had met had entertained suspicion of

to be in readiness to pour troops into
Greece, when he can rely on the CO.
operation of the Greek army.
Could treachery go further? Was
there ever baser and more revolving
deceitfulness?
This Queen was prepared to hand
my country over to the mercy of Tur-
kish hordes, to see the countryside
and the streets red with the blood OF
her people, to aid her brother in his
infamous campaign against civiliza.
