First in Austria-Hungary, where in 1916-17 1 saw the beginnings of the breakup of the Hapsburg monarchy. Then in Switzerland during the war days, I gathered intelligence on what was going on behind the fighting front in Germany, AustriaHungaey and the Balkans. 1 was, in fact, much more of an intelligence officer than a diplomat.
