PEACE AND WARTIME SPIES ARE EXPOSED Berndoff in “Espionage” Shows That Nations Spy on Each Other When They Are Friendly in Public. BY HALTER D. HICKMAN WHEN H. R. Berndorff wrote “Espionage” he certainly spilled the beans how nations in the World war actually behaved before they started the war racket and while it was going on. There is probably many a man in high position in Grmany, England. France, Russia and America during the World war, who wishes today that “Espionage" was never, never written. This book in exposing the spy system during the World war, even before it and after, certainly gives names, dates and places. Some of the alleged “patriots” in the spy system of all countries, nowdead, would turn over in their graves if they could read this book and

many of those alive will wish to go, on a vacation. Each year there seems to be just one book concerning the war which sets all tongues wagging and Espionage.” just published by D. tppleton & Cos., selling for $2.50, ’ems to me to be that book of the tar. The startling thing about “Espionte” is that it proves that even riendly” nations before the war •rried on a most terrific system of •ying upon each other and that en after the armistice this prace was continued. In many cases in.ernational nionage is only political blackmail, th have the same terrible devasting results upon the public. "Espionage” is not a novel but I now that I started it at 3 a. m. ie other morning and was still at it 8 o'clock when I had to stop to at a few winks of sleep. I never realized before how really “uncivilized” the spy system was during the war until I read “Espionage.” We got some light on the subject when Edith Cavell was shot for spying on the Germans in getting injured Belgians back to their regiments. At that time, the world was given to understand that this sort of work was a “noble thing.” According to Berndorff. Miss Cavell admitted at her trial that she had “assisted Belgians. Frenc’vnen and Englishmen to return to military service at the front ’ and “had supported them and had given them money.” She was different from the other famous members of the espionage system in that she received no financial gain herself, but did it on the grounds of patriotism. The book shows that powerful German men at that time attempted to save her from death. You get the impression (and it has always been my personal opinion* from this book that according to the rules of war. Miss Cavell got just what war generally deals out to those who help the enemy. And yet when I consider the deeds

this woman and he has based his deduction upon records. Regarding her execution. Berndorfl writes: “The statement which was current in the whole of the I enemy press, during and after the j war. and was recently revived in an : English film, to the effect that the J execution was carried out in a horI rible manner, is absolutely false.” The most interesting spy to me in all of this collection of the gang is that of the one known as “The Lady Doctor.” Here is the most wonderful reeital of how a woman ' spy even went over the front line of the French army and landed in the German lines during actual firing that I have ever read. It is not fiction but the actual facts regarding this woman who, nearly ruined the French and who j at one time ruled the gigantic secret service of Germany.

Lady Doctor” are unequaled in any book that I have read concerning the war. Even the passionate career of Mata Hari, the dancer, can not touch the stunts pulled off by “The Lady Doctor.” “Espionage” brings the reader closer to the actual wax behind the trenches than any book I have read. War is fought in other places than in the trenches. That we all know and the system of espionage is a part of that infernal thing called war. Read “Espionage” and get anew slant on what the World war was
