PARIS EXPELS ROSICRUCIAN.

Alastair Crowley Says He

Was British Secret Agent in War.

Paris, April 17—Alastair [sic] Crowley, who claims to have been a British secret service agent during the World War, left Paris today for Brussels after his French identity card had been taken from him by the Government.

Withdrawal of Crowley’s identity card was tantamount to expulsion from France. Crowley said yesterday that he knew nothing of any charges against him but was going to Brussels in the hope of being able ultimately to return to Paris where he has lived for the past six years. He has some reputation as a writer on Rosicrucian doctrines and magic.
