it is a well known fact that Ger
many maintained efficient intelli

Spain during the entire war. Al
though all means of comniunieatl.m
htween Grmany and Spain wero
supposed to be in the control of the
English, these bureaus had no difii

with their home offices. Bearing

made his way into the city. Keen
ing out of sipht of the military po
nce, he passed down toward the wa
ter front, and there, in a third rate
hotel, secured quarters for the night.
The neat day, at a prearranged
lime, he walked along the beach to
where the two other o! fleers who
had preceded him to the city by mo
tor, were waiting. On his aonroaeh
they arrested him and took him up
to the American camp, where he was
lonnrreq in a small tent near tho
guardhouse. The news was then
quietly passed around the city that
the Americans had captured a dan
gerous criminal.
Before night, so successful vrn
this propaganda, all the good people
ii nenuay were talking about th.
prisoner. The object of this was to
have the news passed over into Spain
so that, -vhen the major appered.
there would be no doubt of the truth
oi any statements he might make.
To insure this the Spanish guard
on duty at the International Bridge
was invited to see this moat danger
ous prisoner.
To check tip the effect of this pro
paganda in Spain, one of the officers
passed over the border thit night and
returned the next nipht with a re
port that the fame of the prisoner
had penetrated even as far as San
Sebastian. It was now considered !
