TAILIEUCHUNG - The Dark Invader

Men engaged in Intelligence Services during a war divide their particular opponents into two classes. One consists of neutrals who go out of their way to help the enemy for the sake of gain; and for such men we have not much compassion should they fall upon misfortune. They are interfering in great matters with which they are not concerned, in order to make a little money.

They are interfering in great matters with which they are not concerned in order to make a little money. The other class is made up of men who abandoning the opportunities of their own careers go secretly away in the sacred service of their country play a lone hand and run the gauntlet of foreign laws. For such we can have nothing but respect while the fight is going on and friendship when it is over. Captain Franz von Rintelen belongs to this latter class.
