SUSPECTED GERMAN PLOT.
TO BLOW UP RUSSIAN MUNITION STORES. THREE SWEDES ARRESTED. (Austrv and N.Z. Cable Association.) Received January 29, 9.20 a.m. STOCKHOLM, January 28.
Three Swedes have been arrested for attempting to take a sleigh filled with high explosives across the Finnish frontier. The explosives were packed as preserved meat. A large number of bombs were also found in a railway train, which was about to leave for the frontier. It is believed there was a German plot to either blow up Russian munition stores or the railway line, in order to hamper the transport of munitions between Skibbotten and Rovanieri.
