Embassy Officials See
Trail of British Agents

Washington. Jan. IA. The impression
conveyed 20 questIoners by officials IN
German diplomatic circles was that u
was possible that Captain Won Papen
had been connected with the published
documents by British agents.
Their argument was that Il was in
credible that Won Papen. knowing that
his shin would be taken into a British
port 10 be searched. would have carried
any correspondence of such nature II
ne possessed IL.
German officials declared tonight
hat had the captain carried the papers
described they thought II unlikely that
he would have called further attention
70 them by protesting 20 Ambassador
Page that they had been seized.
At the embassy tonight It was said
that the Amba sador from time 70 time
had paid much none, 20 Captain Won
Papen IN the way Of salary and for the
expenses Of such work a. he Was eX-
pccted 10 conduct as "a military attache.
The embassy. il was said, had no knowl-
edge Of his private bank account or OF
how he disbursed the honey.
Embassy officials specifically dis
claimed any knowledge of the reported
payment of 500 10 Werner Horn, con-
ncctcd with the attempted destruction
Of Canadian Pacific bridge. They
pointed out that all German officials IN
this country had repeatedly disclaimed
any connection with the man and de-
cIarcd that such a payment, If made,
would hardly have been by check.
They further disclaimed any knowledge
of the explosion referred to as having
occurred in Seattle.

After the crew had taken 70 the boats
the submarine came alongside the boat
occupied by Captain Swanston. The
submarine commander asked and re-
ceived miscellaneous information re-
gardng the ship and her crew.
"The submarine was of the larges :
type and mounted two guns. It's COM
mander showed great uneasiness, sur
yiyors say, while waiting for the steam

her sinking by placing five shots below
