SPIES,- BEWARE!
STRINGENT ADMIRALTY
ORDER
LONDON, Jan. 23. The recent cases of espionage have caused the Admiralty to issue a special warning to captains of pleasure steamers regarding this crime. They are asked to let their passengers know that under the provisions of the Officials Secrets Act the Government will not hositate to proceed against any person found taking photographs, or sketching, or using a biograph machine to picture any part of dockyards, naval establishments, or ships.
In the dockyard towns of England, such as Portsmouth and Plymouth, pleasure trips that include a'visit to tho building ships are organised by the hundred every year. Any foreign agent could quite easily take part in these trips, and it is probably in this connection that the warning has been given.
