KIPLING CAUSES
BAD WAR SCARE
Novelist One of Party Taken
by English for Ger
man Spies.

LONDON. Aug 1.-England's blood
has been running cold lately by rea-
son of sensational stories about Ger
man spies swarming on the East coast
taking copious notes and making plans
and sketches of the country for the
purposes of a future invasion.
CircumstanuaI stories have been
printed describing how mysterious Ger
mans were living next door 10 every
postOffice on the East coast, and It waf
actually declared that a party OF Ger
man officers was executing "sta a
ride" In Epping Forest-the approach
TO London from the Northeast. When
questions were asked in Parliament
about these alarming stories, War Sec
rotary Haldane resOlutely declined &c
take them seriously.

Explanation Offered.

A perfectly innocent explanation has
now been made regarding one phase OF
this espionage scare. The chief consta-
bic OF Lincolnshire stated at meeting
OF the local authorities that he had
obtained information about the sup
posed spies. and the only thing he
learned that might have given rise TO
speculation was that a number Of gen
uemen were making Investigations in
connection with a proposed railway. e
This party consisted Of Rudyard Kip
ling and several friends, fuho had come
into Lincolnshire to inspe-t the land
through which the proposed railway
might run The chief constable added
that he had found no indication that
