Very black looks are cast upon the Americans who have established and kept up the best ambulance there is in Paris at their own cost.

Even the French ambulances are suspected, since some of their members, during a suspension of arms, broke bread with the Prussians; for it is held that any one who does not hate a German must be in the pay of Bismarck.

But this is not all: the newspapers hint that there are spies at headquarters.

General Schmitz has a valet who has a wife, and this wife is a German.

What more clear than that General Schmitz confides what passes at councils of war to his valet--generals usually do; that the valet confides it to his wife, who, in some mysterious manner, confides it to Bismarck.
