Show TEUTON SPY SYSTEM DEFEATED! WOMAN Gives Warning When Submarines Sub-marines Are to Intercept Russian Delegates. Special Cable to The Tribune. PETROGBAD, Sept. 16. A story told here by members of the Russian Parliamentary party, who recently returned re-turned from a tour of - the allied countries, coun-tries, is a striking proof of the far-reaching far-reaching information secured by the German intelligence bureau. The Germans managed to get wind of the intended visit of the Russian deputies to the allied couutrios and laid a plot to intercept the Jupiter, the vessel on which the party was to travel from Bergen to England and Prance. The plan was frustrated by ' a Russian Rus-sian woman who traveled on the same train with the deputies from Stockholm to Bergen. A German friend of hers, knowing of the intention to capture the Jupiter, warned her not to travel on that vessel with the deputies, as he had knowledge from the best Bourcea that a great fleet of submarines had been told off to capture the vessel at all costs. "Just think," said this German, "what a lauchine-Btock would be made of the Russian deputies when they found themselves in Berlin instead of the capital of the British empire." Madame X nt once gave the tip to the deputies, but the latter pooh-poohed pooh-poohed the idea and said they were going go-ing to follow out the plan worked out by the British government and there was nothing to fear. But the English captain, to whom the German plot was confided, thought otherwise and at the last moment the deputies were transferred trans-ferred to the imperial yacht, surrounded surround-ed on all sides with Englibh mine-layers. The whole of the day thev sailed from Bergen the commander followed a zig-zag course, until they reached a monster British war vessel, which the deputies boarded. The party was told that their dpsti-. nation was Newcastle-on-Tyne, where they would arrive at 8 a. m. That same night the captain received a wireless wire-less that a perfect shoal of submarines was following in his wake and he again changed his course. The captain told Dr. Shingarieff, the distinguished Russian Rus-sian deputy, "The submarines will never be able to overtake my vessel, but they might reach a point where they could hinder our course, so I have to move very carefully." The night passed without any thrilling thrill-ing incident until the voyagerB reached a port, much to the astonishment of the deputies, far up in the north of Scotland, Scot-land, instead of their supposed desti-! desti-! nation. |
