POLK DENIES SPY STORY.
Obtaining Zimmerman Note Said to Have Been Comparatively Simple.

Washington, July 17.-'There is not word of truth in that story"

Polk disposed of the statements printed by La Macion of Buenos Aires, purpOrting to tell how the American government came into possession of the Zimmerman note, d short time before the United States entered the war in 1917. Mr. Polk said that the assertion that the note was obtained by American secret serv- ice men from d German girl, who had been stopped at the border, was incor- rect. When the trut h as to how the note was obtained is known. it will be found a much simpler matter than most persons imagine.
 Under Secretary Polk did not con- sider it advisable to tell just now ex- actly how the note was intercepted.
