Nazare than the Americans, then without
counter-espionage service, heard from the
French that German agents were using the
islands and coves of the Loire estuary to hide
spying upon the dougboys. From then on we
knew that they would do us what secret harm
they could. whether by putting stones and sand
in journal boxes of locomotives, stealing papers
and plans, or Turing information from our un-
suSpecting amateur soldiers by liquor, women,
even drugs. We had warning in what the
German secret service had done already.
THE Germans attempted to make drug ID
diets of American aviators! This was a
real plot with ramifications in several American
flying fields in France, especially the fields at
Tours, headquarters of the Services of Supply
It's weapons were that worthy pair, cocaine and
loose women. Their prey were our young flying
cadets in training, just getting used to going
into the air, taking each day their lives in their
hands, seeing each day some comrade crash.
The method was devilishly simple
The women, some French would waylay the
Americans at evening when they sought re-
Taxation from the days strain. They would
lead the way to apartments where plying their
taut faces and twitching nerves, they would pro-
duce liquor Sometimes the liquor drugged
often 1t was merely preliminary to powders that
promised bon slipp, hen?" Before they real
lied 1t a number of aviators were becoming
slaves OF the drug, unable to still the craving
that was making it's first deadly inroads into
physical and moral strength.
"a very serious affair."" said the French I'VE
must take no chances"
So, in supposed DISCUSSES, squad of their
detectives lounged about small cafe where an
American secret agent had arranged to meet
some OF the ringleaderS. The ringleaders never
set foot within the door, One look at the dis
guises and they were off, After that it took
time to round them up, but it was done

minutes. The first hint of dawn came through
the ground mist. They relaxed with relief. A
nervous sentry, they thought seeing things
nothing to worry over. Chucklng, they re-
lighted their pipes in the shadow of coal-scuttle
helmets. Sixteen minutes before six, the
matches showed. End of quiet night
But they never the day. With the
sudden crash and roar of doom behind the
American lines hundreds of guns opened. hurl-
ing torrent of bursting shells that made
Cantigny place where none could stay above
ground and live. After the barrage came the
doughboys, 5000 eager fire-eaters of the 28th
Infantry first time over the top in their young
lives. They swarmed through Cantigny, and
what Germans would not surrender they
bayoneted The first real American attack of
the World War was complete victory
ITO make that possible, before a gun fired or
a doughboy charged the Americans had
won another victory. 1t was not in the open
war that the world knew, but in the war amid
the shadows, the war known to few who never
told-the secret war of spy and counter spy.
Sometimes the turn of tide on its dark battle
fields Swayed great events more powerfully than
did the struggle in the light of day. So the
night before Cantigny there were shots and
cry-then silence.
That silence has shrouded to this day what
happened to the American trenches. Few have
heard of the dark figure of a man in American
uniform and helmet, clutching something be-
meath his slicker, who started around traverse
of a front-line trench into little sap juttng
into no mans land. Few knew of two other
dark figures, similarly clad, that followed hid
around the traverse corner until their quarry
climbed into no mans land and started running,
bent over in the midst, straight for the German
trenches. They both sprang to the parapet.

"Halt!"
Then in an instant Get him!"
Pistols flashed together, and just at the edge
Of the barbed wire the runner stopped, cried
out once, fell and lay still. The pursuers crept
up, looked at the putty-gray face.

back"
THE other held up what had been hidden be-
meath the dead mans slicker.

That is why the Germans did not get the
warning of the coming attack that a German
sergeant in the First Division tried to take to
them the night before. That is how that SER
geant died, whatever the Official records may
say. That is how the lives of many Americans
were saved, and Cantigny written in our history

If war be indeed the sport of kings, then the
secret was the sport of magicians, of NEGRO
mancers, played with loaded dice for great
stakes, for crowns and thrones, for power and
glory, for very existence.
A BOUT our secret service in Europe the very
little published is largely fiction Nor will
the truth be told. A quick, easy way to
let loose over this country-and over others,
too-a tempest of anger and hatred, suspicion,
scandal and misery would be to publish its
secret service records. No wonder that many
such records have been destroyed that all the
government departments that have such Pan
dora'S boxes keep the lids nailed tight. Never

Immediately we entered the we had to

But in wartime it IS easier to thwart enemy

For that and other reasons attempted and

numbers of the regiments in the conveys and

The address in Amsterdam was one suspected
of covering forwarding station of the German
secret service. The sender of the cablegram,
who did a small export business in Brooklyn
was already on the allied suspect list. He said
he was cabling for South American firm I'M

British censorship of cables through England
His whole tale sounded so queer that he spent

WHILE their submarines kept trying to
torpedo American transports, German
secret agents planted bombs aboard American
ships leaving our ports as already they had

Apparently aroused to action by being

mate, Roy Jones, %, also colored,
smashed a cot in their cell last night
and used q portion of the iron frame to
dig hole through the 15-inch stone

the barricade and made their way to
freedom.
Ashbury Smith, another colored pris-
