(Received March 29, 8.55 a.m.) LONDON, March 28. • Lord Baden-Powelt, discussing the widespread legend that he was Britain's matser spy, stationed in Germany during the war, declared that the story was carefully circulated by the British Intelligence Department, with the object ot' concealing and and disguising his real activities. “The enemy went to considerable trouble to find me in Germany during the first half of the war, and I expected every moment to learn that 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 inpection. I enquired into reports that enemy submarines were replenishing supplies there.”
