GRAND DUKE AIR SPY.
HOW THE GERMANS KNEW OUR SECRETS.
THE TRENCH TRAP.
How the Grand Duke of Meck- lenburg-Strelitz posed as a British flying officer in order to get in formation from British airmen captured by the Germans is one of many fascinating secrets of the war revealed by Mr. Ferdinand Tuohy in "The Battle of Brains.". published by Heinemann (prica 76. 6d.).
Mr. Tuohy was a member of the Intelligence Branch of the British" Army during the war. He la R well-known journalist,
The Grand Duke, Mr. Tuohy points out, "was obviously all cut out for the job in hand on account of his English Public School and University education."
The Hour and-Strelitz
In 1917 when the air war "broke dizzily" on the British front there was "a rare chance for Strelitz."
Two R.A.F. officers are brought down in the German lines. They are hospitably entertained by Ger- man air officers. Presently "a third-a shot-down British officer with pilot's wings and Military Cross--is introduced to the cap- tives. It is Strelitz.
the
"And for the balance of port-drinking evening the three captives are left to themselves, to their awn gossip Strelitz" in undertones directing the conver- sation hither and thither, in im- peccable English, while displaying the most intimate first-hand know- ledge of the R.A.F. and all its works.
"Not till very near the end were we to know, through an escaped prisoner, of this serious nir pigeon' business. Then 'Strelitz' became a byword; and R.A.F. officers were warned against talk- ing to anyone, even in khaki, if captured."
Why "Pushes" Were Futile. Ingenious means by which the British and German Intelligence Services detected the movements of each other's armies are also revealed by Mr. Tuohy.
The Germans had a listening set in their trenches called Moritz. After they had retired to the Hindenburg line from the Somme in February 1917 a German Intel- ligence summary found by the British showed how the enemy had been able to identify not less than 70 per cent. of all British units thus going into the line, immedi- ately and unmistakably, by means of Moritz.
Moritz and "the excellent, Ger- man listening personnel" had heard the "wealth of rich British and overseas accents which were (literally) calling day and night to be overhead-Tale, Haggis, Erse, Aussie, Canuck, Zomerset, Aye-by-Goom, not to mention Cockneyand had deciphered the variations of accent, in terms of divisions and brigades.
"It was in no small measure due to this sorry listening set circum- stance that the Germans were able to block so effectively and tragic- ally eagh fresh move of Sir
Douglas Haig.
"Our lines remainded an open book to them; they knew what was
coming every time."
NEW SEX WAR IN SCHOOLS.
SHOULD WOMEN BE GIVEN 11EADSHIPS?
Controversy is raging between men and women teachers in the elementary schools in Birming- ham, where 3,000 women are em- ployed to 1,000 men.
The men fear that under the ro- grading scheme they will be forced to work under women who have been promoted to headships. They say that they would lose prestige both as men and disciplinarians, inside and outside school.
$0
Unless things are altered that men are appointed to the headships of mixed schools, they declare that the male teacher will be forced out of the primary schools.
The consensus of opinion among the women teachers is that the pest qualified teacher, whether man or woman, should have the headship.
