SECURING INFORMATION
THE WAY IT IS DONE , London, December 17. The Press Bureau says: "An ey* witness,describes intelligence and recon* naissance methods, and the-way infor-* mation is gained by the inspection of the uniforms on the dead or by cross-' examination of prisoners, and addsi» Tho newspapers rarely value this, because no sano Government' allows current details of the nature' sought to be published. .On the other hand soldiers'diaries and letters are often indiscreet,' and unwittingly betray the state of their'; morale and disclose where the shoa' pinches. A considerable part of thev intelligence work is of a synthetic char*' actor that pointa to the building up,; first, of a possible and then a probable theory based on a mass of suspicious l facts, which merely amount to side*; lights, and not established evidence*' Often an apparently useless scrap of in-( formation forms the final link in thg ch&in of evidence.'
