we could not seem to locate the re-

On this district we centred our eff
forts; we placed some of our men to
watch the houses and finally found the
right place. This was a cottage occu-
pied by a man who passed himself off
as a Belgian. who was in Paris when
the war started and was unable to get
back to his home. With the assistance
Of the French, we arrested the male
cook who was employed by this man
and had one of our own men placed
there as cook In his stead. This OPP
orator soon discovered that after these
signals were flashed and the women
had gone on the boating trip the man
would also go out on the bay in his
power boat. Each time he went out
on such trip he, In turn. that same
night would flash signals toward the
point, where there were more cottages.
Our next move was to place a watch
on the cottages on the point, where we
finally located one that at night was
sending out flashes to sea. This al
ways took place at o'clock, again at
10. and so on on the even hour, until
red light was seen to answer. We
found that after such a night of sig
mailing the man who lived in this
house would swim out to a ledge on
the shore; also that at other times
there would appear out at sea two
red lights for second, then an inter-

1t would seem that any successful at

2. The amount involved is so large
and the element OF time 80 important
that it is extremely dangerous to
undertake the legislative programmes
that would be necessary before lending
countries could place their govern
ments in a position adequately to par
ticipate in a loan to the several Dor
rowing nations.
3. There are the most important
considerations pointing to-the desir-
ability OF accomplishing the necessary
financing at a moderate rate OF in
terest.
4. The political situation Is so IN
volved, and the financial conceptions
so various and chaotic in the different
countries that 1t is highly desirable TO
present one formula for obtaining
credit which all the borrowing
countries should alike follow.
8. II private investment funds are
to be promptly and successfully at

there must be created an obligation
that offers the highest type Of security
that II Is possible to create.

8. In view of the urgent necessity
for restarting the Industrial processes,
a necessity paramount to any merely
financial requirement. the entire pro-
ceeds of such a loan as is herein pro-
posed should be realized by each bor-
rowing nation in the actual form OF
food, clothing, fuel, machinery. raw
materials for manufacture and rolling
stock for the rehabilitation of trans
portation and none of the proceeds
OF such a loan should go into the
treasures of the borrowing nations
to be used for governmental financial
needs.

tons and Of the suggested principles
that should be embodied in any COM

That night the submarine would
send in a boat, pick up the message,

No doubt there were many such sta

much valuable information was sent
to Germany in this way.
We now had full knowledge of their
method and plenty OF witnesses to
convict. So the next move was to
close the net and arrest the whole
crowd. Even in this we had to be very
cautious. Men were placed at the

Nevertheless. he has been an un-
