THEIR METHODS OF OPERATION
SOME TYPICAL EXAMPLES
[BY GEORGES PRADE ]
Every Germans is a potential spy. The servile character of the race, its profound contempt for all self-respect, makes it consider espionage as a service to the State, honourable because it is useful.
Despujols, a Paris manufacturer, and the glider was piloted by M. Soriano, a Spaniard. On the last day of the races w beard that the bont-ould not take part in the trials, as the motor had al- ready been taken to pieces and sent away On inquiring the name of the buyer who had paid £2,400 for a specialized motor which could only be need in racing, and withdrew it from the contest the day he bought it, we learned that the motor hat bean send to Lyons, and from there im mediately forwarded to the well-known electrical and dirigible manufacturing firm of Siemens-Schuckert at Biesdori, near Berlin. Later, in the course of 24- other inquiry with which I was officially entrusted; I asked M. Despujols for the details of this affair.
The German idea of the police system was publicly explained before the Reichstag
This is what he told me. An individual. by Herr von Puttkamer, Secretary of State for the Interior Herr Richter, M.

Besides, even if Police Magistrate Rump, an honest and estimable fane tionary, had used the methods with which he is reproached to secure for the State useful information, I would here publicly expresa my satisfaction and any thanks.
The words give the measure of the race, and explain its mentality,
According to M. Despajols, the motor which reached Berlin at the end of April, 1014, was destined to form part of a curious motor boat torpedo, filled with ex- plosives, and running automatically; she steering apparatus being controlled from a distance by Hertzian waves.
