Hundreds Of German Key Men CONTROL POSITIONS (British Official Wlreleas.J (Received April 25, 7 p.m.) • , RUGBY, April 24. Infiltration of German agents into French North Africa is not taking place unnoticed as the Nazis have intended. The fact that some hundreds of key-men are now’ concentrating in positions of control at certain ports and aerodromes, and that there have been recent increases in the numbers of these “tourists” is well known to the authorities here. Morocco, notably the naval base of Casablanca, is the chief centre of their activities, and only comparatively few so far have found their way into Algeria and Tunis. The purpose of this infiltration is clear to all students of German methods in other countries which have fallen under the German domination, and the French civilian population in Morocco, who are indignant at this in- • flux of Germans, are reported to be on the alert to prevent them from securing control of the public services. Though very few of these agents are reported in Algeria and Tunis, and while there is no confirmation of a report that Germans are actually passing from Tunis into Libya, Gefman abuse of French .territorial waters in getting suplies to Tripoli under cover of the Tunis coast south of Cape Boni is well established.
