If he were alive, I could shake his hand as the officer of the firing party shook the hand of Lody before he gave the last order." Dawson took a paper from his pocket, and handed it to me. "Read it out," said he; "I can't." I took the letter from Dawson and glanced through it.
And when he had accomplished that, as the cases of Ernest, Lody, and Schultz eloquently attest, he determined to see that every move of the English expeditionary force on the Continent should be guarded from German espionage." Sir Henry paused and poured out a cup of tea. He tasted it. It was cold, and he put the cup down on the table. "That's how St. Alban came to be in France," he said.
The case of Lody, whom the British caught and executed, was a type of the patriotic officer spy. But his execution caused no real regret in Germany, for he was regarded as a clumsy fellow, who roused the vigilance of the British authorities, with the result, I was informed in Germany, of the arrest and execution of several others, mostly, it is said, Dutch, South American, and other neutrals.
There were Ben Linn and Ben Lody; and the whole territory belonging to Mr. Kennedy. He was laird of Linn and laird of Linter, as his people used to say. And yet his father had walked into Glasgow as a little boy, no doubt with the normal half-crown in his breeches pocket. "Magnificent; is it not?" said Phineas to the Treasury Secretary, as they were being driven up to the door.
In keeping with these teachings and practices were the theft of foreign passports by the German Government which handed them over to spies, as in the case of Lody, who was executed in London in the early part of the war. Thus the binding force of moral and of human law is dissolved whenever it clashes with German national, military, or commercial interests. This dogma lies at the roots of Kultur.
The importance of commercial spying is that commercial war is all the time at the bottom of Germany's preparations for military war. Carl Lody, a German ex-officer, was recently tried in London by court-martial and shot for "war treason" that is, for sending information regarding our Navy to Germany during hostilities.
It is intensely exciting, and though in some cases it brings a big reward, the best spies are unpaid men who are doing it for the love of the thing, and as a really effective step to gaining something valuable for their country and for their side. The plea put forward by the German spy, Lieut. Carl Lody, at his court-martial in London, was that "he would not cringe for mercy.
