EUROPEAN SPY SCARE
40 AGENCIES REPORTED STRANGE WOMAN FIGURES LONDON, Dec. 22. The Daily Telegraph Paris correspondent says it is believed that a spy organisation with at least 40 agencies exists in various parts of Europe. Supreme control is exercised at nomadic headquarters, moving from capital to capital as the risks dictate. The information is not monopolised By a single Power, but is distributed through different outlets, including Germany and Russia. The strangest figure in the drama is Lydia Stahl, who was bom in Russia. She is at home with 10 languages, and thus became associated with Louis Martin, an interpreter in the Ministry of Marine, who is credited with speaking 68 languages and dialects. His erudition brought him in contact with Lydia Staid, who persuaded him to tamper with documents in connection with naval history.
