Translated, the order reads: {n order to hinder the formation of an American Army In France it is important that the American troops engaged along the front be struck as hard as possible. It is intended to use these troops as a nucleus for new formations. (Signed) LUDENDORFF. This document was dated June 10, 1918. Much has happened ince. Striking the Americans “as hard as possible” must have Brought to the German high command during the past month pro- @ressive revelation of how far the German “hard as possible” short of “hard as necessary.” As for hindering the formation of an American Army in France, the same German high command has been much too busy condueting , an important backward movement in the Marne salient to give proper sittention to the task of retarding American Army development. Three hundred thousand Americans landed in France last month | to join the million already there. Thousands more are eailing weekly. | The advance guard of the American Army at the front is taking care there shall be plenty of room behind it for the swift and aaa formation of new American fighting units. Ladendorff thought he had a knockout ready for that American “pucleus.” But the nucleus landed first, than ever. and is more of a nucleus! a I EXCUSABLE.

It was perfectly plain that the Grand Central Station would become one of the centres of worst bewilderment during the first} hours after the new routings went into effect. Yet even at the Grand Central, through the height of the mix- up} Thursday evening, puzzled thousands failed to find so much as a sign to set them right, while the few so-called “guides” were as! much at sea as anybody. Ticket choppers knew nothing about the! trsin service on the platforms above which they took tickets. ‘Train! guards themselves weren’t sure where they were going. | Most of the trouble could have been avoided by putting up a few printed signs to direct the public and by instructing and rehearsing) all subway employees so that they, at least, could help people through | the change by speaking and acting with certainty. Why should high-priced Interborough executive talent have ignored simple, plainly indicated measrres for facilitating a readjust-| ment of subway traffic which few persons using the subway could) have studied out in advance and which, at the Grand Central, involved the use of new and unfamiliar platforms and passageways?

No. 46—SCHULMEISTER, Napoleon’s Chief Spy. E was a blue-eyed, stupid-faced Alsatian, who had picked up a living as a amuggler before he joined Napoleon's army. His name was Charles Louis Schulmeister, The time was 1805. Napolcon was in the thick of his supreme campaign against Austria. Opposed to him was the huge Austrian host of Gen. Mack, which threatened to overrun the French Army before the latter's reinforcements could be brought up. « Napoleon wanted not merely to defeat Mack; he wanted to capture the whole Austrian Army, and this could be done only by persuading Mack to stay where he was until the armies of France could surround him, | cutyng him off from aid and force him to surrender. It was a clever plan. But its success hung on Napoleon’s power to keep Mack from advancing prematurely and attacking the French before they were ready. And Mack was on the eve of making such an advance, Then it was that Napoleon sent for his best spy, Schulmeister, and gave him certain curt instructions. A few hours later Schulmeister arrived at Dieeding and with his uniform !n rags. He told a pitiable tale of the ill-treatment which had made him desert He spat on the ground and cursed every time ho In due time the deserter was brought before two Austrian officers, to whom he told so many interesting things about the French Army that they took him to Gen. Mack. Here, under the General's questioning, Schulmeistur opéned his heart. He told a number of correct facts about the French which Mack could easily verify from his This he did, to give the Genera: a full confidence in Bee i Spy Paves Way j to General. (errr own outposts’ reports. his truthfulness. ‘Then Schulmeister cut loose with a fairy tale about the enormous size of Napoleon's army. He represented that army as 80 large and #0 spi didly prepared and equipped that Mack gave up the idea of making a sur- prise attack upon it ° Maok did not change his plans on the strength of a single interview with Schulmeister. Instead, he sent out spies td confirm some of the othe: things the Alsatian had told him. These spies corroborated Schulmeister in | every detail. The supposed fugitive then told Mack that the tremendous French Army was growing weary of inaction; that its morale was weakening ani that desertions were frequent. The longer this inaction should endure, k sald, the weaker would Napoleon's force become. So Mack decided to play a waiting game and to stay where he was instead of advancing. He also bit upon a crafty scheme—unconsciously urged thereto by tie He bade Schulmeister return to the French camp, take up his duties there again and, at the first chance, bring further information the Austrians, Thue he could revenge himself on Napoleon and at the sam¢ tine get paid handsomely by Mack. ' Gladly Schulmeister accepted the duty. He went to Napoleon with Pres ently he journeyed once more to Mack with a new batch of lies which kast the Austrian Army where it was for some weeks longer. He had the free run of both forces, and so well did he play Ais cards that he kept Muck’s great army motionless and inconspicuous, while Napoleon steadily completed his hemming-in process. At last Mack awoke one morning to find his army utterly surrounded by the French. It was too late to stir hand or foot to escape or to defend He was obliged to surrender his 90,000 men to Napoleon without striking a single effective blow. The Austrian campaign was won and al] Europe was amazed, and the chief glory belonged to one blue-eyed Alvatian. Napoleon made Schulmeister a rich man for his services, more money than the Alsatian could ever hope to spend. Schulmeister was not satisfied. He yearned for a medal or two, such as other soldiers were 1eceiving in such profusion, Timidly he made the request. Napoleon an- swered in contempt: “Take all the ease you want. away a medal on a dirty spy.” eee Spy Keeps Enemy } Motionle: ~ 2 giving him You've earned it.
