SPYING
BADEN-POWELL EXPLAINS WAR DECEPTION ROUNDING UP GERMAN AGENTS United T. A. — By Telegraph—Copyright Reed. 9.40 a.m. LONDON, Friday. Lord Baden-Roweil, discussing the widespread legend that he was Britain s master spy stationed in Germany during the war, declared the story was carefully circulated by the
British Intelligence Departmont, with the object of concealing and disguising his real activities. “The enemy went to con s i derable trouble to find me in Germany during the first half of the war,” he said. “I 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, but I inquired there into reports that enemy submarines were replenishing supplies there.”
