A FEW WORDS ABOUT DR. GRAVES.

Dr. Armgaard Karl Graves, who makes these startling revelations ot the great German spy system, and' of European diplomacy, was for nine years one of the kaiser’s, personal spies, and his most trusted one, as such being called upon to perform missions of the most delicate nature. What some of those missions were, and their international importance. Doctor Graves makes plain in this series of articles. Documents and other papers in the possession of Doctor Graves and court records of his arrest and trial, in England as a German spy, substantiate the statements he makes in his articles.

Doctor Graves is no longer in the secret service of the kaiser. While on a mission to England in 1912, he was arrested in Glasgow, tried on a charge of espionage at Edinburgh in June, 1912, and sentenced -to eighteen months in the Barlinney prison. He was, however, released by the government in September of the same year—and how that happened 1b not the least interesting of his revelations. It was In connection with his uncovering in England that the Londdfi "Times” referred to Doctor Graves as “the most dangerous spy of the century.”

In Doctor Graves’ ' articles appear again and again the names of the personages who loom big in the gigantic struggle of 1914.
