On British Complaint Forests
in Southern Part of State
Are Being Searched.
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.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22. Conferees

relating to "tying" contracts, recon

House members of the action of the
conference in amending it
Charges have been made that agents
of the United Shoe Machinery Company
have been endeavoring to influence leg
islation, which would seriously inter
fere with their exclusive contracts for
shoe machinery supplies.
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.

CHICAGO, Sept. 22. Hope that the
United States would aid in bringing
about the independence of their native
land at the end of the great war was
expressed in a telegram sent today by
the convention of Lithuanians here to

funds for war-afflicted compatriots ap
pointed and adjournment taken.

stood that by January, Canada will
have abroad, either on the fighting

Mr. Leonard said that military notes

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

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.

the American Red Cross, which is im
partially aiding every country in a
spirit of common humanity and which
recognizes no distinction of race or
nationality.
"However, every contributor who de-ni-es
to designate an, particular fund
or country to which his or her con
tribution shall be applied may do so,
and such request will be respected."

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. .
