NEWSPAPER STORY
ABOUT GERMANY
AROUSES BRITAIN
Charge Made England Knows
Berlin Is Aiming Despite
Versailles Treaty,

LONDON, Nov. 30-A sensation
which threatens to develop into a ma
tionaI scandal has been caused by
publication of an article sent to Brit
ish newspapers by a news agency,
stating the government is concerned
over military preparations in Ger
many.
The article said rapid military
training of large numbers of men in
excess of Versailles treaty stipulations
has been progressing" and that the
government Is cognizant of the facts.
As the agency is often credited with
being semi-offlcial. the familiar decla-
ration about Germany's mis-deeds was
taken seriously and caused genuine
alarm.
The Foreign Office Immediately dis
claimed official authority for the state
ment, but the fat was in the fire,
The papers controlled by Lord
Rothermer today evinced greatest
concern over the report Others point
out 1t was nothing but repetidons of
claims often made by Premier Poin-
care of France.
The Daily Express declares the
statement possesses the elements OF
propaganda" and adds:
1.-THE British government is entitled
to demand that the agency disclose
the source of its information"
The Manchester Guardian declares
the agency statement to be at var1-
ance with official opinion regarding
Germany, and says:
''Who ever inspired that statement
was palpably bent on mischief"
The Times. which does not publish
the agency dispatch, heads a lengthy
article on the subject, Spurious Sen
sation."
