The Espionage Incident
NO CASE AGAINST BRITISHERS. MARCELLE’S VIVID IMAGINATION (Received 10, 1.50 p.m.) Paris, Dec. 9. There are indications that the espionage story is either the result of the woman’s vivid imagination or a desire to take revenge on her English friends. No support is accorded the storv circulated that the two arrested Britishers admitted belonging .to the Army Intelligence Service. Most of the press is treating the affair lightly. It is reported that documents thus far seized at the residences of the arrested men fail io suggest espionage. Several points of the woman’s story are received with scepticism. It is pointed out that foreign missions are frequently conducted through air service works.

The British Embassy disclaims all diplomatic knowledge of the affair.— (A. and N.Z.) '
