/ Of th| ican Intelligence staff for further exami- nation.
 Ever since Major Anderson's disappear ance into Spain, the Chief had remained in the Intelligence office at Henday waiting for his return. One of the arrangements that had been previously made was a secret sign so that, at any time and under any circumstances, each could signal the other without fear of attracting attention. So when the supposed Spaniard saw the Chief sitting in the office he gave the sign and was passed through and his passports were stamped to allow him to proceed to Paris.
 All the while the Major had been in Spain he had been unable to send out word as to how he was progressing; so now, that his confederates and the Chief might know just what the situation was, Captain Odell boarded the train with the Major and seated himself in the same compartment. They had hoped they would be it's only occupants but, to their disappointment, just before the train was to start, two Frenchmen came in. So the Major passed note to Captain Odell instructing him to leave the train at Bayonne and to keep on the look out for him. As the train left the station at Bayonne, Major Anderson, who had been standing on the rear platform, naturally lost his hat, quickly jumping off the train in endeavor to recover it. The while the Major was recovering his hat he watched the train to see if anyone else jumped off. But no one did, and as the train disappeared into the distance, Odell joined him and before the arrival of the next train the Major had told his tale, and plans had been made as to where they should meet in Paris. Boarding the next train, the two officers entered separate apartments.
 The Chief, with Captain Orcutt, met Odell and Anderson at the quiet Paris rendezvous, and the tremendous business of freeing the aristocratic prisoner was canvassed. These men were all in favor of letting any one prisoner get away in or der to win German confidence.
 They now held trump card, for the Ger mans would do almost anything to secure the release of this titled prisoner. And if ing what he might not be able to do with the Germans afterward. But another man had to be brought to their way of think ing.
 The Chief made trip to Chaumont, the

.CdICSl successfully to attack England both by sub marines and through the air In this event, must not England come to her knees? Let this happen and the United States, despite her unlimited resources, would be obliged to fight to the limit of her strength. It was then a very desperate situation which con- fronted those devoted commanders on that May day when they gathered to devise ways and means to turn the Germans back from Paris.
 Each one had come with plans whereby he hoped first, to stem the tide of the Prus- sian hordes, and then to complete their de- feat. All plans, however, hinged upon an accurate knowledge of the German strate- gy where the next attack would be made, the strength and morale of the troops. As this information was not available, the plans, as submitted, were considered and ultimately rejected.
 "Gentlemen," said Marshal Foch, "it is absolutely necessary that we anticipate the moves of the Germans. I have sent my best men into Germany and they have failed. Only yesterday news came through that the man in whom I had placed my greatest dependence had been captured and shot within an hour after he had penetrated the German lines. We cannot secure informa- tion in this way"
 Attending this conference was Colonel R, the officer in charge of the Intelli- gence work on General Pershing's personal staff, and he said in replying to the mar shal: While do not desire to discredit any one, I am convinced that l have the very men in my service who can penetrate into the German lines and secure the desired in- formation. One of these men has been most successful in this type of work and was in Spain for during the entire Span ish-American War am confident that we can get the data if we are granted pcrmis- sion to try
 At this time the Americans had not won the place in the hearts of the Allies which they held later. Chateau Thierry lad not been fought, and many believed that the Americans were just braggarts who could not fight or be depended upon when it came to an actual battle. Unfortunately our men were bragging very unbecon,ine.y, and we had lost not only friends, but also prestige in the eyes of the Allies. Americans who had just arrived in France could be heard crying to both the French and English sol diers:
 "You folks just watch us! We will show

OGrVl( him. The shooting and uproar made it clear to the men who knew the plot that the jor had started, and they breathed prayer for his safety. The Chief himself was in Henday now, and finally, unable to bear the suspense any longer, he sent one of the officers to learn the truth. When he heard the Major had made "clean get away,' "Thank Godv breathed the Chief
 Taking no risk with searching parties that might spoil his plans, the Chief de- tailed Captains Orcutt and Odell to take charge of the patrols, and for several days they both diligently hunted the Major where it was certain no Major would be.
 When the news of the Majors safe arri- val at San Sebastian filtered back to the Chief, Captains Orcutt and Odell were sent to shadow him. They were instructed to bother the Major in as public manner as possible in order to prove to the Germans that he was exactly what he said he was.
 So the pair broke into the absent Majors room as if searching his possessions and scattered all his clothing about. While the Major on his return was making loud con- plaints in the hotel office, man came up sympathetically to tell him he knew who had done the deed. of you will come up to No. S. he said, q will give you all the in- formation together with a description of the men I saw coming out"
 q do not know you," replied the Major, land I'm not taking any chances of going with you How do 1 know but you are one of those who committed this crime against me and all you want is to get me to go to your room and then I will disappear, as did another man who fell for the same stunt! You will have to show me who you before I will go one step with you" And the Major walked away.
 At this time there was a well-known American living in Spain as fugitive from an indictment here at home. On this same day this renegade, introducing himself asked
 Do you know the man you were talk ing with in the hotel this morning?"
 ''No," replied the Major. "Why?"
 "Well, I know him, and you can trust him. Go up to his room at two o'clock this afternoon and see him. he is all right"
 "Very well," replied the Major, "I will be there"

secret  detail how they had tried to reach Germany and what they believed to be the cause of their failures. A careful analysis showed that their men had in each case attempted to cross over to the German lines through the front, or via Belgium or Holland, and that, with almost supernatural powers, the Germans had spotted them, and all their ef- forts had ended in firing squad and brick wall. After hearing all this it was de- cided should try to reach Germany through Spain.
 Captain Dunn was an understudy in the scheme, and never took any prominent part in it's activities, but he was there to be called on if one of the others fell by the way.
 It is a well known fact that during the entire war, Germany maintained intelli- gence and propaganda bureau in Spain. Although all the sources of communication 
 to be in the control of the English, this bureau was in constant easy communica- tion with the home offices Bearing this in mind, it was considered that the only real hope of success lay in getting into Germany with the connivance of this very bureau. To fool them was our first objec- tive. Every possible precaution was taken to prevent failure, and the plans were gone over again and again.
 To begin with, one of our officers was to try and reach Germany through Spain by crossing into that country at Henday.
 Major Anderson was selected to make the attempt. He had served in the Intel ligence Service in Spain during the Spanish American War, and he spoke Spanish flu ently With his knowledge of Spanish GUS toms and of Spain, the Chief believed he had the best chance for success. The Ma jor was to represent himself as a fugitive. His story was to be that he was accused of stealing battalion funds, falsely accused ac cording to his story, and thereby filled with a bitter thirst for revenge on the American army Also he would claim to have always been pro- German till America went into the war Now he would do anything to injure the Allied cause, and he possessed valuable knowledge regarding the plans and strength of the American troops.
 Captains Orcutt and Odell were to pro- ceed to Henday, there to carry out their part of the plot and be ready instantly to cross over into Spain to help the Major, as occasion should demand.
