Alleged British War Spy

To Be Expelled By France.

Crowley Says He Used His Influence

To Bring United States Into Conflict.

Paris, Apr. 16—The Paris Midi says that Alastair [sic] Crowley, who says he was a British Secret Service agent during the war and in that capacity posed as a German propagandist writing articles for the Fatherland, will be expelled from France tomorrow.

The Midi quotes Crowley as saying that as a secret British agent he sought to influence the Germans to sink American ships with the end in mind of forcing the United States into the war on the side of the Allies. Crowley has lived in Paris for the last six years.
