AND MENACED BY CROWD ENGLISH SPEAKING FIREMEN IN BERLIN. SUPPOSED TO BE HAW-HAW & BAILLIE STEWART. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) LONDON, December 2. An air-raid warden in Berlin, when fighting a fire in the basement of the Berlin Press Club after a raid, was amazed to hear a nearby fire-fighter exchange a. few words in English with another fire-fighter, reports Herr Schroeder, chief correspondent of the German overseas news service. The warden, refusing to listen to explanations, dragged the fire-fighters to a police station. When, they were on the way there a German crowd, hearing a rumour that the . Englishmen were found in a house from which they had been trying to signal to the raiders, gathered stones and were restrained with from lynching the suspects. Schroeder said that the affair was quickly settled at the police station, because those arrested were an English Fascist who is a German radio announcer, and an official of the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Reuter says that the only British radio announcers known to be on the German radio are William Joyce, alias “Lord Haw-Haw,” and Baillie Stewart, the “Officer in the Tower,” a former member of the British Union of Fascists.
