international News Service


LONDON, Feb. 1.-GOvernment
agents are conducting an investiga-
ton which may reveal one of the
most serious German plots in Eng
land since the war began. This case,
which grew out of two arrests last
month, is marked by the utmost
secrecy. and has already involved
one employee of the home Office.
Those under arrest, so far as
known now, are:
John Mcpherson Mitchell Dallas,
clerk to the inspector of aliens
in the office of the secretary of state
for home affairs; and moi Joachim
Attain. alias Altshuler, a Russian,
who is described upon the records
at Scotland Yard as a professional
singer.
The police charge against the men
is that they conspireG between Dec.
1 and Jan. l 5 that money should be
corruptly given TO and accepted by
Dallas las an inducement TO him to
do divers acts in violation Of public
duty and welfare"
The police have found that AL
TAM has been in this country seven
years and has been employed at very
infrequent intervals, although was
always we'll supplied with money.
He made il a point TO cultivate the
friendship of government clerks and
Dallas became an intimate.
Since the war began Dallas has
been in a position which gave him
peculiar opportunities TO assist enemy
aliens il he had been disposed. He
has had access to the safe-conduct
letters issued by the home secretary
and in addition was able to supply
valuable information.
The arrest of suspected German
agents in the numerous espionage
cases which have developed within
the past year have led on more than
one occasion 10 the suspicion that
enemy aliens were being assisted by
an empIoye of the government. De-
tectives Of the special branch Of the
criminal investigation department of
Scotland Yard were set to shadow
ing various employees and suspicion
fell upon Dallas, but his supporters
were loath 10 accuse him for he had
been in the home office for 90 years
with no blemish upon his reputa-
ton. However. the evidence was of
such character that the arrest was
made and at the same time the Rus
sian was taken into custody.

Local Police to
Garry Guns Where
they'll be Handy

Conforming TO the agitation
sweeping over the country for out
side gun pockets for policemen, the
board OF safety Friday morning de-
cided that the new uniforms which
will be ordered soon must be pro-
yided with the new revolver pockets
In Chicago during the past few
weeks half a dozen policemen have
been killed and wounded because
they were unable 20 draw their guns
from their hip pockets promptly,
while hampered with the heavy
overcoats. Police in other cities have
also met with the same difficulty and
the local department has many times
spoken Of the danger involved in
carrying guns in back pockets.
Uniform companies will be in
structed by the board 10 make peck
cts on both sides of the heavy coats
for revolvers when the new suits and
overcoats are ordered. The board
member believe that lives may pos
sibly be saved by this step. The
board and a committee from the
department is now negotiating with
several companies for the new uni
forms.
