NEW LINE OF ATTACK. Germany Accuses Brit? : n Of Vast Spy Campaign. UNIFIED PRESS OUTBURSTS. BERLIN, July 9. Temporarily turning from "encirclement," the whole weight of the German Press is flung into a campaign accusing Britain of building up a vast network of espionage throughout Germany by using the consulate's and passport control offices.

Flaring headlines on the front pages of yesterday morning's papers gave prominence to an official announcement that the Reich had requested Britain to recall from Vienna her Consul. Mr. Donald Gainer, who was allegedly involved in espionage. Mr. Gainer has already returned to London.

A headline in Herr Hitler's paper, the "Volkischer Beobachter," says: "Britain's official representatives are strongholds of espionage."

The "Berliner Borsenzeitung" declares: "Britain is abusing German hospitality. Even the highest representatives are involved in the espionage scandal."

The official journal "Deutsche Dienst" says: "It is intolerable that the Consular Service should be saturated with professional spies and secret agents. Britain, in a mental state of morbid distrust and exaggerated fear, but primarily in order further to poison the international atmosphere, is now expelling innocent and irreproachable Germans."

AUSTRALIA NOW. Organised Nazi Activities In Commonwealth. NEW GERMAN CLAIMS. BERLIN, July 9.

It is asserted that they have joined forces with 4000 German citizens resident in Australia in order to foster tne aims of the German League.

Listing the Germans' chief claims to rights in Australia, the newspaper says the founder of Sydney was a German, and the first vineyards and orchards were German. It is also pointed out that since the advent of Herr Hitler three schools and two seminaries have gained permission to teach in German, and also that many towns have restored their original German names.
