Show Apropos of the German spy scare in Franco .d England, Lapsley Wilson, at a luncheon at ice, on the French Riviera told an anecdote. "It was at the time," said Wilson, "when concrete con-crete beds for guns were being found according, at least, to rumor all over the allies' territory. At this troublesome time an American in Paris went up to a policeman and said mysteriously: " 'Pst! Are you looking for German spies,' "'Mlais oui!' said the policeman, taking from under his cape his notebook and pencil. " 'Then,' said the American, 'go to the Hotel de Blanc and arrest the proprietor. He's put up at least two concrete beds there. I know, because be-cause my wife and I slept in 'em last night."
