WARSHIPS DECLARED AIDED King's Consul in Portland Says Po sitions of Merchantmen Flashed to Men of War of IToe Idea Is Scooted by Some. WASHINGTON, Sept. 22. On com plaint of the British embassy, the Department of Agriculture has begun a search for a mysterious wireless plant supposed to be operating in the mountains on the Pacific Coast. Infor mation furnished to the department is vague, but apparently the plant is bus ily engaged in sending messages on censored by the Federal Government. Forest rangers who patrol the moun tains are understood to have . received orders to look for the wireless outflt- Following a complaint entered with United States District Attorney Reames by Thomas Erskine, British Consul at Portland, the Department of Agricul ture at Washington yesterday in structed the forest officers in Oregon to ascertain, if possible, the location of a powerful wireless telegraph plant that is presumed to be operating in the woods of Southern Oregon in the inter ests of the German government. Complaint Blade Lut Week. "Mr. Erskine informed us last week that his office had been advised anony mously that an unlicensed German wire less station in Southern Oregon was tipping off the location of English ships to German ships, in violation of the Government's neutrality ruling," said E. A. Johnson, First Assistant United States District Attorney, yesterday. "Ordinarily we might not have re ported the matter, but because of the unusual international situation at pres ent we thought the matter deserving of investigation, and sent word to Wash ington with the suggestion that the in vestigation could be best carried on by the forestry service. We thought the matter would be kept secret, and were surprised to learn of the public an nouncement, ProMtlon Is Possible. "If it can be found that unlicensed operators are working in Southern Ore gon, the responsible persons will be prosecuted under the law, but until their apprehension the matter amounts only to a question for investigation." As a result of the telegraphed orders the forest rangers up and down the Coast are believed to be combing the woods in search of the reported plant. Forestry officials would make no state ment yesterday. None of the officials connected with the inquiry seem to lay much faith in the existence of the so called station, but the investigation is going on, nevertheless.

Senator Overman, who is chairman of a special lobby committee and also a member of the conference committee, said today suggestions had been made of "insidious" lobbying against the anti-trust legislation and intimated there might be an investigation later.

Mr. Leonard said that military notes were being issued as in the Russo Japanese war and that the redemption of these notes began at Lung-Kow September 4. "If the people were compensated It would not be so bad," Mr. Leonard wrote, "but although I made many in quiries I was unable to learn of com pensation for chickens, grain and food obtained in Chinese homes; for fuel and furniture burned or for the oc cupation of houses." Mr. Leonard said that similar stories came from the surrounding country side. ..... SOUGHT OREGON FAMOUS THIRTEENTH CENTURY CATHEDRAL DESTROYED AT RHEUMS AND OTHER AmmzJ&i f'A . st EC X i. We.

THOUSANDS ARE STRANDED Dutch Government Renders Every Possible Assistance and Uncle Sam Returns Favor by Secur ing Release of Cargoes. THE HAGUE, via London. Sept. 22. While there is a decided decrease in the number of Americans here in need of aid. Dr.' Van Dyke, the American Minister, today said that the cases now before him were most difficult. In many instances persons applying for assistance are finding it hard to prove American citizenship, - but only a few impostors have been discovered among the crowds that have sought assistance. - Many of the applicants are unable to speak English, but investigation usually establishes ' that their claims are valid. Thonaands Believed Stranded. In view of the fact that Captain Sunderland and other American Army and Navy officers have been recalled from relief work, it is believed here that congestion in the work may re sult and an effort is being made to divide the task of caring for Amer icans between Consul-General Listoe, at Rotterdam, and some civilians. It is believed several thousand Amer icans in Central Europe have been un able thus far to leave, owing to illness or lack of funds. Recently only per sons who have been unable to leave earlier passed through here. The ma jority of them- had been at health re sorts in Germany and Austria. Even Dr. Vandyke Is unable to give the num ber of Americans remaining in Central Europe. Estimates of the number of those still in Germany range from 8000 to 15,000. Several thousand of these are American students, many of whom have been unable to get away thus far, while others of them, having credit, re fuse to interrupt their studies. Dutch Courtesy Ackno-rrleiljced. "I wish, to acknowledge the courte sies shown Americans by the Dutch government." said Dr. Van Dyke to day. "It has done everything possible to be of assistance to them and has shown an interest in the welfare of our people. On August 3 the Dutch gov ernment consented to have the "-State Bank cash all drafts held by Ameri cans, provided I indorsed them in the name of the American Government, which authorization I secured. There has been no trouble here since then in getting cash, though we are obliged to limit persons to their actual needs." From other sources it has been learned that Dr. Van Dyke has made representations on behalf of Dutch vessels detained by the French and English and succeeded in securing the release of silver bars and foodstuffs consigned to Dutch merchants.

Easlia Women Carry Home Sympathy for Kalwr, Reins Cheered by . Tentons on Leaving". LONDON, Sept. 22. One of the strangest throngs ever seen in London English women and girls with pro German sympathies came into the city tonight from Berlin in charge of Lieu tenant E. G. Blakelee, U. S. N., as sistant naval attache at Berlin. The party numbered 440 and figured in an exchange with Germany of wo men and jrirls who had been allowed to leave England. Under Lieutenant Blakelee's care the members of the party were assembled in Berlin from various parts of Germany with the as sistance of the American Consuls. The pro-German feeling is accounted for by the fact that while interned in the Ger man empire they heard only one side of the war question. Art and music students and governesses predominated. The party left Berlin in a special train and all said every courtesy had been shown them by the German of ficials. At some places the Germans waved flags and handkerchiefs and even cheered. A great crowd of par ents and relatives greeted the return ing travelers on their arrival here. Another party of English women and girls of about the same number will leave Berlin at an early date under the care of an attach of the American Embassy. .
