NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-Russia
Is the originator of the greatest
secret weapon to play a part in
this war-the vital secret OF how
TO keep military secrets.
This weapon was used TO such
effect, despite all the efforts OF
the foreign press and the expert
military attaches OF many nations,
that all the world underestimate
Russia's strength. When Germany
finally struck, and Russia struck
back. all the world was astounded
and Germany found her timetable
of terror completely upset.
Russia's planned secrecy can be
traced back at least TO 1896. when
Charles A. Lindbergh visited both
Germany and Russia and reported
that the Luftwaffe was far Supe-
rior to the Red air feet.

rushed toward completion before
the end Of 1913.
The war, especially the sub

Canada.
Much of the route which, when
will connect the north
ernmost tip Of North America with
the southernmost section Of South
America already is paved and in
use. The major missing links
on which work is now being rushed
are.
