Tension between Germany and Russia has been increased following the announcement through a German news agency that the German Ambassador in

The agency adds that the persons arrested were unsuspicious people, carrying on their professions as musicians, book-keepers or mechanics, and such.
The Moscow correspondent of this agency states that simultaneously with the arrest of the German citizens, Soviet citizens having relations with the German Embassy were also taken into custody.
