HISTORY REPEATING ITSELF.
"Information in the possession of the Intelligence Division, of the Admiralty is regarded as affording conclusive proof that there is an extensive conspiracy being carried out by German agents in this country to fonent strikes antong workinon in order to hamper the performance of war contracts.".
This intimation in a recent issue of The Daily Mail would cause no surprise to those who have studied the ramifications of the enerpy's spy system-Bays F. W. Memory.
The German Secret Service Bureau is prob ably the most perfect organisation of its kind in the world. Bohemia discovered that during the Austro-Prussian War of 1860, and the lesson was driven home in the Franco German War and repented Inst year in Belgium.
To discuss at length the methods of the spy organisation would require a great volume of tanny pages, but having regard to recently announced discoveries in Great Britain a short sketch of its methods is of interest.
...
From the moment that Herr Stieber, who has been described as the king of spies," took charge of the Gerinan Secret Service in 1800 it is safe to any that no country in Europe has been free from the machinations of Prussian agents. In times of peace and amity Germany lins sent her spies into friendly countries. They have settled in chosen localities and have beconic to all outward knowledgestaunch and loyal citizens of the country of their adoption. They have become prosperous tradesmen have made for themselves a niche in local and national politics, and have foreworn the land of their birth by naturalisation.
But that has been outward show only Actually they have been faithful sons, and daughters too, of Germany. In every section of the community have they established themselves. In the labouring classes, in the widdle classes, and among the wealthy mer chants; aven in and about the royal Courts they are to be found. From the dockside labourer

Nowhere was this feeling stronger than in Cuba, where the race-hatred is near the surface, although the negro is ostensibly received on a parily with the whites.
