NAZI PROTEST REJECTED

Germans Arrested By Soviet Authorities

Berlin, Nov. 16.

Germany was to-day informed by the Soviet. authorities of the names of the 14 out of 23 arrested a result of the Germans, rounded up in Russia as widespread fear of anti-Stalin plotting.

An official communique announces that nine Germans have been arrested in Moscow, 12 in Leningrad, one in Kharkov and one in Novosibirsk, none of whom has yet been allowed a visit from a German official.

They are charged with espionage, and as the authors of terrorist acts and the organisers of activities inimical to the Soviet state.

Germany regards the Russian Government's information in this matter as completely insufficient and has described the charge as incredible.
