"I am for England and England only," John Lutchester, the Englishman,
asserted.

"I am for Japan and Japan only," Nikasti, the Jap, insisted.

"I am for Germany first and America afterwards," Oscar Fischer, the

German-American pronounced.

"I am for America first, America only, America always," Pamela Van Tale,
the American girl, declared.

It is during World War I. A chemist, Sandy Graham, has discovered a new
powerful explosive, but he let's it slip in a London restaurant that he has
made the discovery. Graham is ready to join some friends for luncheon at
the restaurant but chooses to clean up before joining them. He never comes
out of the restroom. Several spies from different governments set out to find
him and the formula. What was particularly interesting to me about this
espionage novel is that it was written in 1918, but it could just as easily
have been from today. (Summary by Tom Weiss)
