  CAPT. SPENCER IS BROTHER OF LOCAL WOMAN Candidate for English Parliament is Well Known Here Principally because he told a story that startled England. Capt. Harold Sherwood Spencer, son of Judge A. M. Spencer, Appleton, brother of Mrs. Wallace H. Strowd, Madison, is running for election to the British Parliament in the Finsbury. district London, and stands an excellent chance of winning. Capt. Spencer, who is a native of Appleton, has been personal 'aide de camp to a German prince;, captain in the international gendarmerie in Albania; war correspondent;, political officer, in the Balkans for Sir Edward Grey, British prime minister confidential investigator and officer in the British-flying service. Captain Spencer was a principal witness in the sensational libel suit brought by Maud Allan, American dancer, against Noel Pemberton Billing, member of Parliament and proprietor of a London newspaper. Billing hinted at a "Black Book" in the possession of a German prince, containing information about 47,000 British men and women, which could be used to prevent their opposing Germany. While he was living in the king's palace at Durazzo, Captain Spencer declared, a member of German royalty showed him the "Black Book," He said the book contained instruc- tions compiled by German agents as to how the persons named might be approached for information of value to England's enemies. Captain Spencer said he knew at that time that Germany was plan- ninq war on England and he declared he reported the existence of that book at once to an admiral in the British navy. He declared that German agents masquerading as loyal citizens forced him to dispose of notes he had taken. Captain Spencer said he had been told one time he would be shot in two weeks. He said that German secret agents and spies in England had caused the removal and disappearance of British secret agents who knew "too much." One occasion, the officer said he escaped armed custody only by donning the uniform of a hospital'attache in Salonki. The trial attracted widespread attention in Europe. After the jury had found Mr. Billing not guilty, he and Spencer were met in the street by thousands who gave them an ovation. Shortly afterwards Captain Spencer entered the race for parliament in a bye-election in Finsbury. In his campaign he was aid- ed by Mr. Billing.
