The arrest in Paris of Bolo Pasha, a native of
Marseilles who was in the service of the- ex-Khedive, has led- to the discovery that he was a German agent. He obtained no less- than £330,700 from Count Bernstorff through American banks, and used part of the money to acquire an interest in the Pads Journal. He was clever enough to persuade a leading French Judge, 1f. Monier, to vouch for his good faith. Telegrams exchanged between Count Bernstorff and the German Foreign Office have, however, come out of Mr. Lansing's inexhaustible " lucky-bag " to prove that Bolo was a trusted German spy. Fortunately, he does not seem to have done much mischief with the large sums sent to him from Berlin. indeed, the elaborate Secret .Service, on which our enemies spent over L5,000,000 in- America alone, has, on the whole, done more harm to Germany than to the Allies.
