LONDON. Nov 21-With the re- !. cent successful raid of German i. squadron into the North Sea to with in firing distance of Yarmouth there has come renewal of the agitation for more efficatious measures of pro tection against what is called the spy peril can give from personal knowl- i edge an instance of how well the Ger man naval authorities are kept in formed of British naval movements. For some time 1t has been known iu restricted circles in London that the British Admiralty had taken cer- tain measures in view of a special contingency Not many people were supposed to be aware of the arrange ments i'm question. lt was certainly not expected they would be known in Berlin capital. where fer objects per fectly honorable and compatible with bis dut es as a citizen of neutral nation he had been in touch with the German naval headquarters In the course of conversation he men tioned the very matter which was sup posed to be a British naval secret ! asked where he had learned this in- formation. and he told me it was com mon knowledge at German naval headquarters. Evidently those Ere stricted circles in London were not restricted enough to exclude a Ger man spy.
 The recent trial of Lody (the Ger man spy who has since been put to death in the Tower) showed how eas- fly information could be transmitted to Germany through Holland and Den mark. There has been more mystery as to how information could be trans mitted with sufficient rapidity to make if valuable in the case of naval move ments. Various suggestions have been made within the last two days. The Daily Mail yesterday said:
 NEUTRAL" FISHING
 BOATS THE LINK A few weeks ago the Home Office assured the country that the German system of espionage in England had been effectively scctched. Since then yarships have been mysteriously tor. pedoed. sentries have been shot let ters conveying information to the en emy have been seized, and German squadron has, by the possession Of SC cret information as to the movements of our fleet eyaded the British pa trols. safely passed through uucharted messages in British milefelds anC thrown shells on the Suffolk coast
 evidence has now come to han' digclcsiue the method ty which in formation has been conveyed to th, encu,v. but the intormers have no Ieen traced. The night coast signal ing ...erred to in Daily Nail has beer intended for and picked 1p by 'neu trll" toats engaged in fishing or otn CT legitimate pursuits off the Briusl coast. The message received, th' boat has gone about, and at dayhsh' many miles nearer the Dutch or Dan isb coast. has liberated carrier pil eons with messages On the return O tbe pigeons to the home lofts thei messages have been conveyed to Bel lin. Kiel or Wilhelmshaveu.
 By this means the enemy has o' come possessed of vital iniormatio long before a ship could cross tl seas and has made his disposition accordingly. hundreds of British live paving for the treacherous use of tl neutral flag.
 Some of these "neutrals,' with the pigeon lofts have been captured | British patrols. and now that tf North Sea is closed to traffic 1t is b lieved that German submarines al making use of the pigeon post
 The bird shot al Framlingham, short way inland from the SUffo coast. on Tuesday has been definite identified as a foreign pigeon, and tl police are following up informati' which has come to their hands
 In Its issue today the same pap says:
 MOTORS WITH
 PORTABLE WIRELESS
 If is only little by little that ( general public learns facts of whi tbe authorities are aware. For stance. it transpire yesterday that the night preceding the German ra the main roads from the east cos were held in force by the milital who stopped every motor car in fruitless search for vehicle report to have been working along the co' with a portable wireless and sign ing apparatus.
 This follows close on another m terious incident reported from miles south of Cromer In the ca morning a military patrol saw pigeons fly from the upper wind of house standing in an isolated sition a short way back from
 cliffs. The birds circled around g then flew off over the North Sea were quickly lost to sight The ho was surrounded. and there being one to admit the authorities an
 trance was forced The occupants the pigeons, had flown.
