§ 4. Sir A. MARKHAMasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether he has any information that telegraph and telephone wires were cut in the vicinity of a town on the East Coast recently visited by Zeppelins?
§ Mr. TENNANTI do not confirm and I do not contradict the suggestion contained in this question. I simply state that it is not in the public interest to give any information on this subject.
§ Sir A. MARKHAMIs it not in the public interest, when these wires were actually cut between headquarters, that the public should know that these alien enemies are living in their midst?
§ Mr. TENNANTI think it very undesirable to make any public comment on the subject.
