GERMAN SECRET SERVICE MAN
 USED AMERICAN PASSPORT
Captain Hans Boehn1 Taken of Dutch
 Steamer at Falmouth.

London, Jan. 30, 5.55 D. m.-A man, said to be Captain Hans Boehm, who is declared by the British authorities to be a German army officer who was travelling under an American passport issued in the name of Jelks Le Roy Thrasher of Quitman, Georgia, has been taken off the Dutch steamer Zelandia at Falmouth, bound from Spain for Holland.
 It is said that the man at first stoutly protested that his name was Thrasher but that when the admiralty intelligence officials called him Cap identity. After serving for several months in the Germany army, Boehm, according to his own story, as made public by the British authorities, went to the United States, where he was employed in the German secret ser vice.
 When he decided to return to Europe it is alleged that he wrote two citi- zens of Quitman, asking them to cer- tify that his name was Thrasher and that he was born in Quitman in 1881. It is stated that these persons wrote him to this effect and that with their letters he approached firms in PhiIa- delphia and New York, offering to represent them in a capacity of a buy CT in Europe. The authorities assert that Boehm stated that these firms vouched for him at Washington when he secured his passport in the name of Thrasher. With the passport made out for England, Holland and Scandf- navfa, the man arrived in Holland in June, and had his passport amended to include Spain and Portugal. He left for Vigo in August and was ar rested on his return from that city Boehm, or Thrasher, has been placed in an internment camp, which would indicate that he is not to be tried for espionage. Officials here express the belief that the United States may re- quest the eXtradition of the man on a charge of participation in plots there, the authorities stating that he has admitted spending large sums of money there.
 It was asserted today in official cir cles that the passport carried by Boehm, or Thra sher was the first inn proper one that has fallen into the hands of the British authorities for a considerable time- Forged American passports have also become exceeding ly rare. none having been seen in many months.
