MYSTERIOUS BURGLARY.

AT RESIDENCE OF DIPLOMAT. IMPORTANT PAPERS MISSTNG. BY CABLE - PRESS l SSOMATION—COPYRIGHT. LONDON, Jan. 21. A mysterious burglary occurred at the town house of Sir Gerald Talbot. Thieves ransacked the rooms and cupboards for papers. Finally they forced the secretary's study and took documents which Sir G. Talbot is most anxious to recover at the earliest opportunity. He says they are of no importance to anyone else. A small quantity of jewellery and some decorations are also missing. _ The Daily Chronicle says it is* believed the documents relate to high international politics, and recalls that Sir G. Talbot was knighted in recognition of his services in the diplomatic field. His greatest adventure was the rescue of Prince Andrew of Greece in 1922 from the custody of the revolutionary committee at Athens when his execution seemed certain. Six Ministers had already been executed. Then Sir G. Talbot by means which have not been disclosed, secured an interview with the Prince and motored him to Piraeus., where a, British cruiser was waiting. The Prince declared that his life was saved by the British Government’s action.
