No Further Claims
They have made no further claim to advance towards Kharkov.
The spy, however, has never received mercy. In all nations and in all times it has been one of the few subjects on which varied nations and systems have been agreed-that he should be put to death. In England he is always assured a fair trial, but, as in the case of the two spies Russian. "Tobruk by a large-size |

Few unauthorised visi- tors to Britain's shores in war- time can have had a shorter run for their money than these two, whose case, like others recently recorded, suggests that the spy's calling rather resembles in Eng- land, an attempt by a camel to get through the eye of a needle.
