[With the Allies by Richard Harding Davis]@TWC D-Link bookWith the Allies CHAPTER II 1/63
"To Be Treated As A Spy" This story is a personal experience, but is told in spite of that fact and because it illustrates a side of war that is unfamiliar.
It is unfamiliar for the reason that it is seamy and uninviting.
With bayonet charges, bugle-calls, and aviators it has nothing in common. Espionage is that kind of warfare of which, even when it succeeds, no country boasts.
It is military service an officer may not refuse, but which few seek.
Its reward is prompt promotion, and its punishment, in war time, is swift and without honor.
