German agents everywhere dogged the negotiators, stealing their luggage, drugging and assaulting them, and making laboratory tests dangerous. When the recipes and samples were obtained tho Foreign Office forwarded them to England with the utmost secrecy, and they were lodged in a bank’s strong room.
