Information Sent to Germany Which
Kapt Hlndenburg’* Staff Buay Pro¬
tecting Themeelves Against
Peril That Did Not Exist
London—Not the least of the many
ironies of the war has been the out¬
witting in every direction of the much
vaunted and elaborate German spy
system by the English directorate of
special Intelligence, which long ago
won the admiration of its American
co-workers. Had England been less
Indifferent to the German spy system
which overran the country years and
years before the war, she might have
saved herself an Immense amount of
trouble; but what was done during
the war In circumventing German
treachery and cunning has been amaz¬
ing. It would seem to have been a
gigantic failure. And the explanation
of that failure appears to He in a
very real understanding of the Ger
man mind on the part of the intelli¬
gence department. They realized that
the German has not yet been bora who
can resist a fact. Give a German
one little fact to play with and It will
keep him happy for hours.
Therefore, the industrious German
agents were supplied with facts, and
the English intelligence department
watched quietly while they played
with them. .The facts were entirely
unimportant and sometimes they were
not facts at all, but they seryed their
purpose and revealed the Identity of
still more members of the German
service.
Darkened Hun Counsels.
There were occasions when they
served an even greater purpose, for
they were sent all the way to Ger¬
many, or were allowed to go, where
they helped to darken the counsels of
the kaiser’s adviser and set the Ger¬
man headquarters hard at work pro¬
tecting themselves against a peril
which did not exist. Meanwhile the
British InteUigence department wen!
cheerily on with their real business,
and prepared various Uttle surprises
for the Hun, and delivered them In
due course, such Surprises, for in¬
stance, as the tanks, of which the Ger¬
mans knew nothing until they were
upon them.
Undoubtedly the failure of the enor¬
mously costly German intelligence sys¬
tem had much to do with the ultimate
defeat of Germany. They were beaten
at their own game. Brig. Gen. C. K.
Cockerill, who has been director of
special Intelligence, bas just disclosed
some secrets In a farewell message
to the staff, which numbers more than
6,000 persons.
“The detection and conviction of
enemy spies,” he says, "has been your
primary business. It Is satisfactory
to bote that in most cases the arrest
of the spy has followed quickly on his
entry into this country. You have
been, In point of fact, the chief agency
In preventing the leakage of naval and
military Information. To mention but
a few Instances of your success, the
Withdrawal from OaUlDoU. the con¬
struction of ‘tanks,’ the preparations
for the offensive at Oambral, and also
for the recent counter-offensives which
destroyed the German armies, were
all known to numbers of people in this
country but were concealed from the
enemy. There Is, I am informed on
the best authority, no evidence that
enemy submarines have ever received
Information of the departure of ship¬
ping from British ports. Thinks large¬
ly to your efforts, no act of destruction
or Incendiarism has been committed
by enemy agents In this country. This
is the more remarkable when the num¬
ber of enemy aliens at large Is con¬
sidered. You have obtained informa¬
tion of incalculable value to the naval
Intelligence, the military Intelligence,
and the war trade intelligence depart¬
ments.
Piled Up Contraband Evidence.
"It will interest you to know that
In practically every case of contra¬
band which has been brought before
the prize court, the evidence on which
the crown relies has been furnished
by you. The significance of this state¬
ment will be better appreciated when
It is added that the estimated value
of prize cargoes, exclusive of ships, is
over £30,000,000. You have, moreover,
stopped enemy remittances to the
value of about £70,000,000, and you
have completely destroyed the enemy’s
oversea communications, so far as they
were vulnerable. I am conscious that
there are many other activities of the
directorate that I have not touched
,upon. Important decisions have been
given in the realm of military inter¬
national law, much trouble has been
taken in the selection of intelligence
personnel for the field, and investiga¬
tions demanding technical qualifica¬
tions of a high order have been con¬
ducted.
| “As highly typical examples I may mention
the skilled work of the staff of
the chemical laboratory in connection
with secret Inks; of the photographic
and code experts, and of the professors
of uncommon languages. Much of the
work has been >eret that no ref
erence to it Is . yet permissible.”
