Under Cover. In theory, at least, the station chiefs who head CIA offices overseas operate under the cover of some innocuous-sounding embassy job such as attach?? or special assistant. In practice, some chiefs are well known and some remain under deep cover, depending on the nature of the country.

In spite of troublous t'ao pings (bandits), a week-end expedition is organized to a temple some distance out of the city. Two love-affairs?between Derek, an attractive attach??, and Judith, Mrs. LeRoy's niece; and between expertly amorous Henri and Annette, a silly U. S. beauty?begin to blossom on the trip. Mrs. LeRoy lends them both bits of her wisdom, begins to need it all for herself when Professor Vinstead falls in love with her. The t'ao pings...
...Papen's recall from the U. S. on Dec. 10, 1915 by the Imperial German Government at the urgent request of President Wilson.

S. indictment charging Military Attach?? von Papen of the Imperial German Embassy in Washington with conspiracy to blow up Canada's Welland Canal...
