Berlin, Aug. 11, All German papers published today under the headline, "Beware of Spies," a warning issued by official German quarters against foreign spies some of whom were mentioned by name and their addresses given.
Apparently espionage activities have greatly increased recently so that the police decided to appeal to the public. All Germans are warned tu avoid any contact with suspicious institutes of credit abroad as it was an old method of the foreign secret services to approach destitute Germans or people in need of credit so as to hire them. Anyone once putin the net by supplying flews in exchange for money advanced, would be recklessly blackmailed and forded into treason.
Among the names mentioned is that of Franz Dobianer, at present living at Tetschen, Czechoslovakia. and a man named Lamprecht who lives in Belgium and is said to be hiring agents on behalf of a West European Power, The address and various aliases of Lamprecht are founded exclusively for espionage and for hiring "correspondents" in Germany."
The "New Worlds Press Concern" recently advertised in various German newspapers for—_correspondents. It had been proved, the official statement adds, that the secret service of an East European Power was behind the advertisement. Answers to the application letters came from Poland.
All Germans who had been in contact with one of the addresses mentioned are urged to report immediately to the police. Otherwise they become liable to punishment,—Trans-Ocean
