RESOURCEFUL GERMAN SPIES.
German spies on the Western. Iront arc both resourceful and daring, especially on the, line occupied by the. British (says a message to tho Asson'sited I'n>s, dated August 29). " Oji one occasion." say* a, cavalry officer. " three Gonfian officers caino right through our lines in a motor-car. Two of thent. wcro disguised as French officers, who wore supposed to be bringing back the third as a prisoner; he. of course, being in Gcruuni ■uniform. They got close to army headquarters before they were detected and captured. They are up to all sorts of dodges, and we. have to be wide awake all tlie timo to spot them. A plough with a white or grey hor.se has sometimes located the position of a, battery of artillery to an enemy aeroplane. Tho movements of a flock of sheep, driven by a spy disguised ;m a peasant, ha« sometimes given similar information."
