(From the New York Sun.) pSgalch
One day last April such of the espionage '
people of Rome as read anything but'correspon(j

have noticed a brief item from Vi- which was,
enna, which reported a burglary in a search or
house adjoining the German embassy ?
in that city. A safe, a very unusual . "ei
and burglar defying safe, had been ,r
cut open like a cheese, and a large
sum of money extracted. So at least Snl

That matter had not been widely fl

tical retreat into which echoes of the 1
intripue and crime of the profane
world seemed hardly likely to penetrate.
But to Monsignor von Gerlach,
papal chambelain and master of the
impel chamberlain and master of the
burglary conveyed so startling a!
message htat within a few hours he:
had fled not only the Vatican, but
Italian territory. When the police,
scarce two hours after his flight,
broke into his rooms they found them
littered with incriminating documents
which he had no time to destroy
or take away and which revealed
the papal chamberlain as head
of the German spy system in Italy.
Let us go back further. We know
that experts in trigue, like E.
Phillips Oppenheim would have begun
this narrative in different form
and prolonged the suspense. But in
a lightly amateur way we shall merely
try to note the facts.
Know then that the Italian police

train of mysterious happenings, including
the loss of two Italian battleships,
the Benedetto Brin and the
Leonardo da Vinci. In some way they
learned that documents revealing all
were in a safe in a private house
next the German embassy in Vienna.
But that safe! Here enters romance.
Not only did it have every burglar
foiling device known to safe makers.
Not only was it electrically connected
with every police station in Vienna,
but it was so constructed thaj
it roughly opened it would pour
forth a cloud of that asphyxiating
gas so dreaded in the trenches, which
would stretch the safe breakers lifeless
before the open evidence of
their guilt. (Romance writers please
copy.)
But the Italian detectives were not
thus to be foiled. They were not of
the easy New York type, privily they
secured the release from prison?under
cover of an escape?of Italy's
most skilled and admired cracksmen.
Provided with gas masks and promised
$10,000 and immunity for past
ottenses, tnese scientists operateu on
the safe with complete success.
The documents secured showed
