THE ALLEGED SPIES.
TRIAL OF BRANDON AND TRENCH. By Telegraph.— Association.Copyright London, November 11. The Globe says that Brandon, arrested for espionage at Borkum, has been identified as a lieutenant in the Hydrographic Department, and Trench as a captain in the Royal Marines. They claim the right to be tried in their uniforms.
Very little (writes our London correspondent) is being said now about the two Englishmen who were captured in Germany on suspicion of being spies. As a matter of fact, it is accepted that they weire engaged in espionage on behalf of the British Intelligence Department. One of them is a naval commander on the active list, whose last occupation, officially, was given as m Copenhagen studying Danish. , The other is a lieutenant on special service. The less said about these things the better. It would bo sad to think - that Great Britain^ taking no steps to keep herself informed of the strength and doings of her rivals.
