LEAKAGE OF INFORMATION TO THE ENEMY. The most patriotic citizen can unwittingly provide a scrap of information overheard in conversation, or can include an apparently innocent remark in a letter which, when collected with hundreds of other scraps provide information of real value to the enemy. It must be remembered that the enemy intelligence organization is world-wide and that enemy agents are by no means obvious as such. They are ordinary looking individuals and they are on the job night and day, in trains, trams, hotels, crowded shops and iu the street, and they have sharp ears. Therefore don’t talk about, any matter of the slightest significance in regard to the Army, Navy, Air Force, or Shipping, and when writing letters do not leave it to the censor. Remember that he has thousands of other letters besides yours to deal with, and that overseas mail is regarded as a rich prize by the enemy. Be on your guard all the time against careless talk and careless writing. Avoid it like the plague and discourage it at every opportunity. Make that parr of your war effort.
