follow the evidence as far as 1t might
lead. He declined to make any predic-
ton as to who might become In

The arrest yesterday of Gustav
Stahl, a German reservist who made
one OF the afidavits given to the Ger

reaching investigation. Stahl, who Is
charged with perjury in repeating be-
fore the grand jury the substance or
his affidavit, is held in $4,000 bail for
a hearing before a United States COM
missioner on June "a.

as Stemler, who the Federal authori-
ties say is head of a secret service de-

Koenig revealed to customs officials

Those not familiar with military tao

however, for a general well versed In

For purposes of example let us imag-
Inc two armies facing one another
