London, June 6.
Mrs. Spear, wife of Lieut.-Col. C. R. Spear, British Military Attache in China, who is being detained by the Japanese at Kalgan, told Reuter today that she heard some time ago from her husband that he was going} on a mission into the interior, ani that she must not expect to hear from him for several weeks.
She was awaiting official news, she added, but hitherto had heard nothing from the War Office.
Mrs. Spear is staying with her mother at Eastbourne.—Reuter.
