GERMANS EXECUTE
ALLIED AGENTS

LONDON, Jan. "a CUP) -
Germany announced today the ex-
ecution of 10 American and British
"agents''. allegedly captured IN
civilian clothing behind German
lines in Slovakla, where they were
said to nave been engaged IN saDo-
tage and espionage.
Dispatches from, DNB and Trans
ocean, Berlins semi-official news
agencies, said the group had been
courtmarshalled and shot after
the members had admitted their
identity and purpose in Slovakla,
now battlefield of the German
and Russian armies.
DNB said the leaders were an
American named Green and an
Englishman named Sehmer, and
asserted they and their followers
had been captured in the rear
of the German battle area on Slo-
yak territory"
British official quarters would
NOT confirm that such group
was operating in Slovakia and had
no knowledge of the executions,
indicating that Berlin had not IN
formed the Allies that the men
were being tried
