FOREWORD
In view of the general war into which Europe has been precipitated
just at the moment of going to press, it is of particular interest to
note that the completed manuscript of this book has been in the hands
of the publishers since June 1st. Further comment on Dr. Graves'
qualifications to speak authoritatively is unnecessary; the chapters
that follow are a striking commentary on his sources of information.

Chapter I. How I Became a Secret Agent
_"O Jerum, jerum, jerum, qu?? motatio rerum."_
Half past three was heard booming from some clock tower on the twelfth
day of June, 1913, when Mr. King, the Liberal representative from
Somerset, was given the floor in the House of Commons. Mr. King
proceeded to make a sensation.
He demanded that McKinnon Wood, the House Secretary for Scotland,
reveal to the House the secrets of the strange case of Armgaard Karl
Graves, German spy.
A brief word of explanation may be necessary. Supposed to be serving
a political sentence in a Scotch prison, I had amazed the English
press and people by publicly announcing my presence in New York City.
Mr. King asked if I was still undergoing imprisonment for espionage;
if not, when and why I was released and whether I had been or would be
deported at the end of my term of imprisonment as an undesirable
alien.
