SPY ORGANISATION
INTERNATIONAL IN SCOPE STRANGE FIGURE IN DRAMA (United' Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright) LONDON, 22nd December. The “Daily Telegraph” Paris correspondent says it is believed the spy organisation has at least forty agencies in various parts of Europe, with the supremo control exercised at nomadic beadquarters moving from capital to capital as risks dictated. The information is not monopolised by any single Power, but is distributed to different clients, including Germany and Russia. The strangest figure in the drama is Lydia Staid, who was born in Russia. She is at home with ten languages, and thus became associated with Louis Martin, interpreter at tlie French Ministry of Marine, who is credited with speaking 68 different languages and dialects'. His erudition brought him in contact with Stahl, who persuaded Martin to tamper in documents of naval history.
