EXPULSION OF GERMANS

FROM BRITAIN Reaction in Germany I Aust. & N.Z. Cable Assn.] LONDON, August 12. Numbers of German subjects, in addition to the three journalists, have been advised by the Home Office to leave Britain. All accepted the advice. Several others, including a girl staying at a London luxury hotel, abruptly departed after being interviewed by Scotland Yard officials. The Berlin press does not mention the British comment on the expulsion of Mr Ebbutt, whom it accuses of spending his time in collecting “latrine' talk.” The “Angriff’s” comments were unprintable. The campaign for a “clean-up” .of foreign journalists has become intense. The authorities are apparently most annoyed at the British publication of the new conflict with the German Protestant Church. The “Telegraph’s” Berlin correspondent understands that Mr Ebbutt is not likely to be withdrawn within a fortnight, but will await the expulsion order. An inspector calling at the Girls’ School at Twickenham found a foreign Baroness peeling potatoes in the kitchen. Alice Leith was fined £2 for harbouring an alien. It was alleged that she received foreign girls who paid for education,/ and also did housework, the chairman remarking: “She is very lucky. We poor people in England cannot often get servants, even when willing to pay." BERLIN, August 12. A dramatic warning to young Germans not to visit Britain owing to the program raging against Germans, is published in the official Nazi organ, “Angriff,” from the London correspondent, who advises Germans not to run the ganger of "shameless insults and aspersions against which they have no protection.” Mr Ebbutt is receiving a stream of abusive letters and phone calls from people in Berlin.
