Spy scares thrill England almost daily. At war's outbreak some 6,000 suspects were rounded up. Last week it was reported that a film showing tests of a new British gun had disappeared. Last month the following advertisements appeared in London's World's Fair (theatrical trade journal):
"WHITBY EMPIRE—Harry Evans, Ivy Luck, Horace & Ida, Tom Lewis, Eddie Roberts."
"WHITEHAVEN EMPIRE—Grace Evans, Roy Mills, Artemus, New Yorkers, Will Wynn."
Ostensibly they were calls to employment, but there is no Empire theatre in Whitby or in Whitehaven. And the initials of the names in the first ad spell "Heil Hitler." The second can be read, "Germany will win."
>Behind the Allied lines, three used German parachutes were found, arousing fear that German saboteurs and spies were beginning to be dropped over. Patrols were strengthened, even at points far from the Front, and officers were discouraged from going about unarmed.
> The Netherlands' border police last week took into custody Gerrit Albrink, 30, son of a Nazi member of the Dutch Parliament, employe of a German garage owner now serving with the Nazi Air Force. In Albrink's car when he tried to drive into Germany were an assortment of Dutch uniforms—soldiers', railroad guards', postmen's—obviously not intended for a fancy dress ball.
