BADEN POWELL
HIS ROLE IN GREAT AVAR. [United Press) Association —By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.] (Received this dav at 9. a.mA LONDON, 'March 28. Sir Baden Powell, discussing the wide spread legend that lie was Britain’s master spy, stationed in Germany during the war, declared the story was carefully circulated by the British Intelligence Department, with the object of concealing and disguising his real activities.
The enemy went to considerable trouble to find me in Germany during the first half of the war. T expected every moment to learn I had been taken and shot. . I was really engaged in rounding up German agents in Britain, of whom I knew a lot. I went to Madrid later, .ostensibly to hold an inspection. I inquired into reports that enemy submarines were replenishing supplies there.”
