They gave us the\nclue to the existence of a very remarkable state of affairs, and revealed this identity not only of the\nspies amongst us, but also showed\nthat German military desperadoes\nhad been despatched to England in\nhumble guises, but with special instructions to carry on certain\nsinister work, quite distinct from\nespionage. These Huns were\nraiders whose hope it was to strike,\non the outbreak of war, sudden\nand deadly blows: with explosives\nand by other means,; with the object of crippling our naval and\nmilitary organization. For a time\nthey constituted, a very grave menace to our country. What blows\nthey actually struck cannot here\nbe revealed.
