My father is dead, so I may tell the truth, that he served the Kaiser like a loyal subject.

And he made a spy of me.

I was called to the French colors, and I went, under a French name, but a loyal German at heart! I became a French sub-lieutenant, but I was still a German, and the Kaiser's officers paid me, knew where to find me and how to use me.

I must die, but there are yet other agents of the Kaiser distributed through your Army.

The Fatherland shall still be served from the French trenches.
