hundred military agents In France
when the war commenced" stated the
officer. "Our maxim was quality. not
quantity. The popular theory OF usins
walters, dancers. porters and the IKE
is the creation of the brains OF nov
elists. We needed trained military
minds.
Even an ordinary. lieutenant or
captain in the foreign army was OF no
value. 1t was our practice, ana, as
we proved by exposures, the practice
of the French. to seek only the hishest
officers as agents. CHER OF stan

M d,v,sion witch had haadouar-
ters In Prague. He was one of about
three Or four officers who knew the
secret mobilization plans Of his
corps, which included some of the
German divisions in southern Saxony.
These secret orders stated exactly
where each unit OF troops was to go
in case of war against Russia. OBJ
yiously the Russians were very anx-
ious to secure this information.
"The colonel had some very unfor-
tunate personal habits, a total lack Of
morals. rather abnormal. of such a
nature as to ruin him among his Of
ficer comrades were the facts to be-
come known. In some manner or
other, never brought to light, the
Russians learned OF the coloners Sc
cret. and by threats of exposure black
mailed him into delivering up copies
of the mobilization orders. We first
secured wind of it by agents in Pet
rograd reporting the removal Of large
sums of money from a Petrograd bank
to the Dresdner Bank in Berlin. They
could find no business transactions
behind the money payments. 1nvesti-
CATION disclosed that at stated inter-
vaIs the colonel came to Berlin under
an assumed name and drew from
this account.
