CHARGE OF SPYING
ALSATIAN AUTONOMIST
(Received February 10, 10 a.m.) STRASBOURG, February 9. It is understood that Dr. Karl Roos. the autonomy leader, will be charged with espionage in connection with visits which he allegedly^ made to Kehl during the crisis. A man named Schmidt has also been arrested, and it is believed that he will face a similar charge.
A cablegram received from Stras-^ bourg yesterday stated: The leader of the Alsatian autonomists, Dr. Karl Boos, and several of his followers have been arrested. All are suspected of plotting against the State as the result of the discovery of compromising documents in ..heir homes. Dr, Roos was acquitted of a similar charge in 1928. He later preached the Nazi gospel and supported the Munich Agreement as a triumph for German nationalism, declaring that France was a small nation without glory.
