DETECTION OF SPIES. INTELLIGENCE WORK IN THE WAR.
Bute of the secrets of the Secret Ser- Vice of the war are disclosed in a faxe- well message issued by Brigadier-Gen- eral George B. Cockeriil, B.," to the Stafi of the late Directorate of Special Intelligence." It seems right, says Bri gadier General Cockerill, now to lift the veil a little and indicate in broad out- fine what hun teu accomplished by the stafla unflagging, though often extremely irksong, work. The message says:
The Directorate of Special Intelligence grew from small beginnings. When the War froke out it unsisted of three Gien- eenl Staff officers (all of whom at onco joined the staff of the British Expedition. ary Fore) and a special bureau of four officers, which in the five years preceding the war had been instrumental in tracing and exposing many of the activities uf the German Secret Service in this coun- try and in bringing a number of its
trial. agents to
As soon as war was seen to be inevit able, a scheme for the censorship of Bri- Thos tish cables was put into operation.
