Answer 2

The same as any nation worth its salt does everywhere in history: they used their counter intelligence department. MI5, to be exact. Founded in 1909.

Spies search for information. Some of it military, but also about currency, current stamps, id documents, moods of the population - anything worth of interest for their country. Some of it illegal, some of it legal.

Finding information about troops movements is illegal. Sending a banknote or stamp to a neutral country is not.
