Within the last few weeks there has been an amazing increase in the number of agents employed. Thousands are kept quietly ami vigilantly at work all over the country. Theirs are the eyes and ears that guard Britain's widespread defence activities —and foil enemy agents who manageMo slip into the country. Recently several ace detectives attached to Scotland Yard's Special Branch were transferred to M. 1.5. The activities of what, the war proved to be the world’s finest intelligence organisation are directed by an unknown and unseen chief from a. big block of IJondon offices. The thousands who pass these offices every day never dream that they tire other than ordinary commercial offices.
