THE FRENCH TRIAL
INTERESTING DISCLOSURES
PARIS February 10.
M. Borehardon produced a remarkable series of secret service reports and coded telegrams showing that .8010 tried to extend the intrigues to England but for what purpose, is not yet fully disclosed ; • but apparently, either to influence the Press or effect a reconciliation to the Government of Abbas HiImi to prevent sequestration of the latter’s property. 8010 visited London in February 1915 and attempted overtures through a Mr Robertson (not yet identified), who peremtorily rejected them. Von .lagow just previously promised 8010 £50,000 monthly for ten months for the purchase of French newspapers to carry on Pacifist propaganda. The plan failed. It is suggested that 8010 contemplated repeating it in Britain.
A telegram lie addressed to Senor C'av alhini shows that Robertson snubbed him.
