GREAT JAPANESE SCHEME.

OF COLONISATION IN THE SOUTH SEAS. A DISAPPOINTED SECRET SERVICE OFFICER. (Received 12.50 p.m.) London, June 6. The London papers give prominence from New York of an American story by Greaves, a so-called Adelaide doctor, who was arrested on April 15th, 1912, and released soon after being sentenced in order to join the British secret service. He was sent to America, and while there discovered that envoys from Germany and Japan were meeting in New York, and had completed an anti-American agreement binding Germany not to interfere in a great Japanese scheme of colonisation in the South Seas. Greaves cabled a copy of the agreement to the British Foreign Office, but did not receive payment, and accordingly is making the matter public. At Glasgow on April 15th, 1912, detectives arrested, under the Official Secrets Act, Angard Karl Greaves, describing himself as an Australian. In his possession were found documents containing information likely to be useful to an enemy.
