ESPIONAGE STORY
NOT REGARDED SERIOUSLY.
THE WOMAN’S STORY. REGARDED WITH SCEPTICISM. 1Y CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT. (Received Dec. 10, 2.20 p.m.) PARIS, Dec. 9. There are indications that the espionage story is either the result of a woman’s vivid imagination or a desire to take revenge on her English friends. No support is accorded to the story circulated that two arrested men admitted that they belonged to the army intelligence service. Most of the newspapers are treating the affair lightly. It is reported that the documents thus far seized at the residences of the arrested men fail to suggest espionage. Several points of the woman’s story are received with scepticism. It is pointed out that foreign missions are frequently conducted through the air service works. It' is believed that the arrested men are merely agents of competing firms wireless equipment to aeroplanes, and their release is imminent upon payment of an insignificant fine. The British Embassy disclaims all diplomatic knowledge of the affair.—-A. and N.Z. Assn.
