Germany's Daring Sples. Paris, February 23.-The in- padecce of German spies is well illustrated by the incidents con- nected with Mr, Gerard's arrival in France. It was reported at the time that a number of persona professing to belong to the Ambassador'a eaire were ar:s-ted by the French sathorities at the frontier. The fact is now COD- firmed. Daring the hard Oos- tom formalities at Pontarlie., one of the French police officere tepped up to a well-dressed man who seemed to be one of the diplomatie party, and exclaimed You are a German." There Wae a great sensation. The in- dividual challenged etoutly denied the charge, but meantime the Ambassador approached süd, lestaing the reason of the alterca fion, declared "I bave never ston the man before." Mr. Gerard

then looking round, pointed oat two other men, who were total "trangere to bim, although pre- tending to belong to his eaite. The three were arrested. All had forged paper, seemingly in order.
