THE END
FOOTNOTES
[A] When I first published these statements the following letter
appeared in the "New York Tribune":--
GERMANY'S SPY SYSTEM
To the Editor of "The Tribune."
Sir: I was particularly interested in the article by Mr. Gleason in
this morning's "Tribune" because, having spent several months in
this region in ambulance work, I am able to support several of his
statements from personal observation.
The house he mentions on the beach near Coxyde Bains was beyond
doubt intended for the purpose he describes. I visited it several
times before it was completely destroyed, and have now in my
possession photographs which show the nature of the building,
besides a tile from the flooring.
Two instances in which spies were detected came to my knowledge; in
one case the person in question was the mayor of the town, in the
other a peasant woman. One other time I know of information was
given undetected which resulted in the shelling of a road at a time
when a convoy of motors was about to pass.
The high esteem in which the Red Cross flag is held by German
gunners (as a target) is only too forcibly impressed upon one in
that service.
