	washingtonpost.com: The Life and Legacy of the Master of the American Black Chamber
		That there has not previously been a biography of Yardley is puzzling, as Kahn notes, though there are a couple of plausible explanations: He didn't leave much of a paper trail, and he wasn't an especially savory character.
		Yardley was born in 1889 and grew up in Worthington, a grain terminal in southwest Indiana where his father was "station agent and telegrapher" for one of the two railroads that ran through town.
		Because Yardley's loyalty to his country eventually came under fierce attack, it is useful to emphasize that at the time his motives seem to have been entirely patriotic.

		Cryptology is one of the pillars of intelligence, and Yardley laid its foundation.
		Yardley's organization was starved for money—by 1929, the budget stood at one-third of what it had been eight years earlier.
		Herbert Hoover's new secretary of state, Henry Stimson, on learning of the existence of this clandestine bureau, cut off funds with the statement that "Gentlemen do not read each other's mail." The organization was closed; Yardley was out of work.

	[6.0] US Codebreakers In The Shadow Of War
		Yardley decided that the War Department would be a better path for advancement than the State Department, and enlisted in the Army in late June 1917.
		Yardley promptly built up an empire, establishing sections to improve the pathetic security of American codes and ciphers, and to crack the codes and ciphers of other countries.
		Despite this concern, Yardley also felt he had an obligation to act as what a later generation would call a "whistle-blower", alerting the public to the feeble and dangerous state of American codes and codebreaking.

	Powell's Books - The Reader of Gentlemen's Mail: Herbert O. Yardley and the Birth of American Codebreaking by David Kahn
		Yardley established the nation's first celebrating agency in 1917, and his solutions helped the United States win a major diplomatic victory at the 1921 disarmament conference.
		But when his unit was closed in 1929 because "gentlemen do not read each other's mail," Yardley wrote a best-selling memoir that introduced--and disclosed--codemaking and codebreaking to the public.
		He debunks the accusations that the publication of Yardley's book caused Japan to change its codes and ciphers and that Yardley traitorously sold his solutions to Japan.

		Yardley was also an avid poker player, and was considered quite an expert in his day.
		Yardley tells us how he learned to play, and he teaches us some of the most profound lessons he learned, many of them learned the hard way.
		It's not much of an exaggeration to say that Yardley's life was both that of a spy and of a road gambler, and he paints a detailed picture of some of these remarkable pieces of his life.

		Because Yardley had proven to be indiscreet, the U.S. did not make use of him during World War II, during which code-breaking was an important element in Anglo-American success.
		Yardley came to Washington DC in 1914, working as a telegrapher in the State Department.
		Yardley was, at different times in his life, to make up cryptogram puzzles for magazines, to go into the invisible ink business, to write novels, to write screenplays for Hollywood, to run a restaurant, and to attempt commercial orange-juice distillation, as well as to become decoder-for-hire for Canada and China.

		Yardley had spent several years roaming the Orient, mostly in China and Japan [Note 1], and became known to the public as an author of books.
		Yardley enjoyed the challenge and stayed on the job until 1929 when the bureaucrats started tinkering and moved much of the cryptology functions into a new unit, the Signal Intelligence Service, under cryptanalyst WILLIAM FREDERICK FRIEDMAN, and in so doing lost much of the secrecy surrounding Yardley's work.
		Yardley knew that FRIEDMAN had nothing to do with the closing of his unit and besides, Friedman was a numbers genius himself.

		Herbert Yardley, the man who first penetrated the Japanese code system on a massive scale, was just a young clerk in the State Department when he began his career as a code breaker by privately cracking the President's own enciphered telegrams.
		It was during this conference that Yardley first penetrated the Japanese code system on a large scale, and even before the Conference opened, he and the Black Chamber were already breaking the codes used for Japan's diplomatic signals.
		Also, there is evidence that even before Yardley's book appeared, he had sold to the Japanese for $7,000 all he knew about the penetration of their codes.
