SECRETS REVEALED.

Scotland Yard Detective’s Experiences. SPECIAL ARTICLES FOR "STAR.” The Special Branch is that department of Scotland Yard to which is entrusted the political safety of our Empire. The Serajevo incident started the Great War. The Special Branch stops such possibilities in Britain. The “ affaire Stafiskv ” nearly brought back 1793 to Paris. The Special Branch sees to it that Britain does not suffer such occurrences. It is rare indeed that a senior officer of this corps of picked detectives can write even in a guarded manner of his experiences, but ex-Detective Inspector Herbert T. Fitch, 8.A., deals with thrilling episodes in which he has taken part with great ability in the series of special articles which will commence in the magazine section of the M Christchurch Star ” to-morrow. He tells of times when he threw a bold dice with death for the sake of world peace, when his own life was unquestionably thrown into the scale against hired assassins, foreign spies, daredevil anarchists, and financiers who did not dare to lose. It is the inside history of the great political situations of the last twenty years. “ When the Empire Trembled,” “ Selling the Death Ray,” “My Greatest Game of Bluff,” “ The Madman with the Plague Vials,” “ Foiling the Bolsheviks,” and “ The Dark Angel Decides.” are other chapters in this enthralling serial that reveals hitherto unrecorded secrets of Scotland Yard.
