III Scarpe flowing through No Mans
~ Land of the great battle-f1eldS of
northern France-a Styx that many
souls have crossed Doubly sinister,
it was suspected once of being hidden cham
mel of the secret war, bearing to the German
lines reports from their spies among the Brit
iSh.
At night agents would launch upon the
noiSeleSS current a log, box, anything that
would carry hidden message. Through the
British lines it would glide unchallenged across
No Mans Land into the German lines, to be
taken from the water by those who waited.
Discovering that trick, British Spy-hunters
stretched across the Scarpe nets that took
strange and sometimes grueSome haul.
That early war incident was prophetic. AL
lied and American spy-chaSerS scanned broader
waters and spread net of counter espionage
with meshes reaching over Europe. The net
was cunningy devised cloSe-knit, to catch
German spies, or prevent their moving about
or communicating with one another or with
their masters.
Communication is one of the most important
aspects of secret service spy who cannot
communicate his news in time is about as use
full as no spy at all. The French might as we'll
have had no spy at German headquarters to
warn them of the big German attack of May

to- get his report out.
IN the World War, if allies and Americans
could have solved that problem Satsfacto-
rily their secret services would have been twice
as deadly They tried innumerable ways to
enable their agents in German territory to get
information over in time to be of use. One by
one, inexoraby, German counter-espionage dis
covered and frustrated most. The Germans
had the same trouble.
Near the end of the war, allied scientists,
including Americans, were put to work to devise
some system of visual signaling, perhaps infra-
red rays, both certain and safe. The Armistice
came before they had succeeded. Since then,
probably all the great secret services have been
experimenting with concealed radio.
