An American citizen, Griffin Barry, has recently been prosecuted in England for a technical breach of the passport regulations in circumstances, which throw a strange light on the operations of the British secret police. It appears that officials of Scotland Yard regard any foreigner who associates with supporters of His Britannic Majesty's present Government with grave suspicion. Barry, who in 1915 was a member of the Belgian Relief Mission, subsequently held a position in the American diplomatic service at Petrograd.
