[PER I'RESS ASSOCIATION.J (Received This Dav, 8.50 a.m.) BERLIN, September 11. The newspaper Kolnische Zeitung publishes a semi-official statement to the effect that Lieut. Helm obtained leave to learn English, and that his behaviour was duo to youthful inexperience. There could lie no question of espionage over a disused foirt, says the journal, but nevertheless ho would have to bear the consequences of his inadvertency alone. Linz, a photographer at Wilhelmshavcn (the new German naval base in tho North Sea) has been airrested on suspicion of supplyiing photographs of fortifications and dockyards to a foreign Power.

He was released when a seardli of his house proved fruitleu.
