GERMANS IN BRITAIN.
LARGE NUMBERS RETURN. By Telegraph.—Press Aign.—Copyright. London, Dec. 18. Large numbers of Germans have returned to Britain and are prominent in public places and hotels. The German language is heard in 'buses and trains, evoking silent, but unconcealed dislike. The Solicitor-General, Sir Ernest Pollock, K.C., giving evidence before the House of Commons Committee which is considering the proposal to continue the police and military power to search without warrant, said that German spies were passing backwards and forwards securing dangerous information and reweaving the insidious network which did such damage early in the war. Sir J. 0!. Butcher, M.P., leader of the British Watchdogß, states that many returning spies are the British wives of Germans. These rank their husbands' interests above those of the nation.
Scotland Yard admits th& difficulty of dealing with German commercial men holding credentials from important firms with which Britain desires to do Business, There is even greater difficulty In tracking women agents.--Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
