A WORLD PICTURE '-? :'. V"'" i StlffJlB TS GAIL KANE AT THE ARCADE WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. GERMAN SUBMARINE INTELLIGENCE OFFICE LOCATED. (By Arthur E. Mann, United Press Staff Correspondent) .Stockholm, July 11. (By mail) Allied secret service and intelligence officers, with the cooperation of the po lice of the Scandinavian countries, have recently sue ceeded in unearthing and dispersing a large and well or ganized (ierman submarine intelligence office headquart ers in Gothenburg, Sweden. In their investigations the officers discovered a naval intelligence map of the waters surrounding the British Isles and the North Sea. The water area on the map was divided into small squares, each one numbered. An elab orate code was also found for use in conjunction with thi3 map. Messages based on this code, although apparently read ing like private mercantile telegrams and cablegrams, could in reality be deciphered into accurate descriptions of Allied warships or of belligerent or neutral merchant men. From the spy headquarters in Gothenburg, agents were sent to Sandinavian ports and attempts were made, whether or not, to get them into England. These agents were supplied with the code and map mentioned and were reporting to headquarters on the sailings of merchant men. Tt is supposed that in some way the headquarters in Gothenburg communicated the information to German submarines at sea, probably by wireless stations hidden along the coast. 'One of the chief branches of the Gothenburg office was in Christiana and a Norwegian was actually engaged there to go to England on the espionage service, being supplied with the code and map in addition a process of invisible ink writing for mail reports. Another branch was in Mal um, Sweden. Tt is believed that many of the agents of the German spies in Gothenburg were Scandinavians. ' At about the same time of the discovery of the Gothenburg office, a German giving the name of Klein was arrested in Sweden, charged with a plot to murder British Ambassa dor Buchanan in Potrograd. Klein was afterward re leased but deported from Sweden.
