ONE IN PRISON: ONE DEAD: ONE
WORKING FOR BRITAIN.
NEW YORK, May 17.
When the American Press some years ago prematurely announced the death of Mark Twain the famous humorist observed that the report had been greatly exaggerated. Lieutenant-General Sir Robert Baden-Powell has improved upon Mark Twain. For weeks a rumour has been circulating in the States to the effect that Sir Robert is undergoing imprisonment in the Tower of London, charged with espionage.
The United Press cabled its London office, which has receivel the following letter, written from the offices of the Boy Scouts' Association -
Dear Sir, I regret that the report that I am sojourning in the Tower of London under a charge
of espionage cannot be correct, as I was taken out
·and shot over a month ago (according to a Chicago newspaper). I am not clear which country I was spying for, but st the moment I am fairly busy on work, for Great Britain.-Vours truly-(signed) ROBERT BADEN-POWELL.
