Four Germans including a 19 year old woman were held in Panama on 15 000 bail each after being charged with photographing Fort Randolph defenses near the canal. They were turned over to civil authorities by the U S Army and arrested at Galeta Point while taking pictures of the Atlantic approach defenses.
