Fincke shook a waggish finger and accused, "I thought you warned me we mustn't be so free in mentioning mention-ing names." "Correct, but please note that I "lowered my voice. Of course, if we're going to be so technical as all that, Fincke, perhaps we'd better bet-ter identify ourselves to each other officially. Go ahead." "It's the best cover-up I've ever heard," Fincke replied with enthusiasm. enthusi-asm. "You can say anything you want so long as you mention just those two things. That's vastly better bet-ter than having a regular formula for identification which the enemy might pick up on you." "Fine enough, but let's hear you identify yourself, Fincke." "Once I knew a man named Pa-lacio Pa-lacio Quatres who owned a fine pair of silver sabers," the Austrian confided. con-fided. Benning quickly searched through Fincke's remark and decided that the key words, by which Van Hassek Has-sek agents identified themselves to one another must be "palacio quatres" qua-tres" and "silver sabers." He said: "How do you like this one, Fincke? There's an old shop known as the Palacio Quatres that has for sale some interesting an tiques in the form of silver sabers." "Just as good as mine, maybe better," Fincke approved. Boggio had finished his dance. Benning observed that the Italian was getting ready to leave the Shore-ham. Shore-ham. He made a hurried estimate. The instant arrest of these two men would only net the secret service two more spies who would spill nothing. noth-ing.

He decided that Boggio was bigger 'game and got to his feet. "Where'll I find you later, Fincke?" he demanded. , Fincke stared at his watch and its dial seemed to bring a nervous quiver quiv-er to his fingers. His eyes lighted up again in that strange excitement of his. "I'll be about for only a week or so, Bromlitz," he answered. "If this place closes, we can find each other at meal-times at one of the good places on Connecticut Avenue. But after tonight we must be very careful." Benning's cab swung sharply and without warning to the curb as it turned into Pennsylvania Avenue. Vaguely Benning had noted that the driver had his radio tuned in on a dance program. As the car jolted to a stop, the cabman put his radio on full blast and turned to Benning with gaping eyes. "Did you hear that, mister?" he gasped. An excited broadcaster, striving for control of his voice, was talking loudly. "The report is just confirmed San Antonio attacked from the air-hundreds air-hundreds reported killed by. explosive explo-sive bombs New Orleans is being bombed at this minute Galveston is being bombed air attack on United Unit-ed States without warning" Again the driver turned a face distorted dis-torted by a frenzy of excitement. "My God, mister!" he shouted. "Is that the real thing?" Benning said in a firm, calm voice, "Please drive me quickly to the Munitions Mu-nitions Building. That means we're at war." Until those first bombs crashed on Fort Sam Houston there had been no reports given to the public of the NEXT WEEK " .-X .

Flagwill stated that forces were reported massing in the Mediterranean Mediter-ranean and the Far East. That night Fort Houston,' TVxas, was heavily bombed. Now continue with the story. day's alarming rumors along the Rio Grande. Benning leaned tensely forward as if to add his tension to the speed of the cab. The radio screeched on. From time to time the announcer asked that no more telephone calls be attempted. Information would be given to all over the air as fast as received. re-ceived. Then "An enemy air force of undetermined undeter-mined strength is reported flying north, its objective may be Wash ington or New York. AU persons are cautioned not to gather in crowds. Please remain calm and stay where you are. It may be that nothing will happen" His cab swung to the curb at the Munitions Building, Benning hurried inside. The corridors rang with the chatter of typewriters. Army officers offi-cers of various rank were glued over desks or assembled in section conference con-ference groups as they slaved over the staggering details of the job ahead of them. Colonel Flagwill was in his office alone. Benning found his chief lolled back in a chair with heels laid absurdly ab-surdly on top of his desk. He was puffing composedly at a cigarelte, his face relaxed. "Hello, Benning," Flagwill said laconically. la-conically. "How you feeling?" Benning said, "Well, sir, I heard the news and thought I ought to report in case you need me for any thing." The colonel stretched himself. "You know, Benning, I saw it had to come, and I feel better now we've got it on our hands. All we need is the President's word to start general gen-eral mobilization of the Army and National Guard. As soon as the Chief gets back from the White House we'll be in motion." Flagwill indulged a sardonic smile. "Not that our mobilization will do any immediate good to save the country a lot of headaches. But it'll be a start." "What's the news about bombers headed this direction?" "Our air staff is divided on whether wheth-er Van Hassek has any bombers that can make Washington and back to Mexico without refueling. But my own idea they could have an emergency landing-place somewhere along the way, couldn't they? It'd work this once, anyhow." "Then there may be a real air threat, sir?" "I urged General Hague to get the President to leave the White House and go over to Chevy Chase for the night," Flagwill averred. "At least to set up in less vulnerable quarters quar-ters in Washington. There's no use pretending a fool's paradise in this country any longer, Benning. Anything Any-thing can happen now." A major from the chief of air service banged into the room, his face ashen, though he spoke col lectedly. "We've picked up what appears to be confirmation, Colonel," the major ma-jor reported. "As near as can be made out a squadron of seven bombers, bomb-ers, with an undetermined force of smaller ships, passed over North Carolina a short time ago. Speed estimated at two hundred miles per hour. Our best time calculations suggest that they could cross the Potomac in approximately two hours, if this is their objective." "Very good, Major, keep me informed," in-formed," Flagwill answered, without with-out change of posture or position. He stretched himself again and casually lighted another cigarette. Then he swung his feet to the floor and pulled himself up to his desk. "I've found a couple of good spy leads, sir," Benning interposed. "Would you care to hear my report?" re-port?" "Not right now," Flagwill said decisively. de-cisively. "I've just had a few minutes' min-utes' relaxation now for the toughest tough-est decision I ever tackled. I've got to have my estimate of. this whole tangled situation ready for General Hague by midnight. "Now you get out among your spies or you might take a look-see at what our anti-aircraft does for itself. But report to me here at midnight. I may want you to sit in at the chiefs conference." Benning took a taxicab and drove to a point near the Washington Monument Mon-ument where .50 caliber Brownings were setting up to look after attack on smaller ships that might venture within machine-gun range if the as sault on Washington materialized The gun batteries and searchlights had been thrust across the Potomac into Virginia to catch raiding bombers bomb-ers before they reached the bomb release line from which they would lay their eggs of destruction as they approached Washington.
