Much' anxiety is felt by the friends of Rev. and Mrs. W. E. Rambo, for merly of Klamath Falls and Baker, who fear that these two relief work ers may have been among the mem bers of the American relief commis sion reported killed by Turkish brig ands In Syria yesterday. Mr. and Mrs. Rambo have been sta tioned1 at Adana, about 100 miles to the north of Aleppo, since last Sep tember and, according to yesterday's dispatches, three American relief workers who were convoying a train of supplies northwest out of Aleppo were set upon- and murdered by a band of brigands. Recent letters from the Rambos make mention of the arrival of these trains of relief supplies and indicate that it has been the custom of Mr. Rambo, who sometimes was accom panied by his wife, to go down to Aleppo to bring -these, periodical supplies back to their orphan age at Adana. State Chairman Samuel C. Lancaster of the near ast - relief campaign said last night it is practically certain that either the Rambos or some of their aides in. the station at Adana were among the victims of yesterday's mur derous attack, lie is also emphatic in his statement that the brigands were Turks, and not Syrians, as was inferred in some of the press dis patches, for the reason that neither Armenians nor Syrians are permitted to have weapons of any kind by their Turkish rulers, who reserve this right , for themselves. . "These bandit attacks are frequent in the Aleppo district." said Mr. Lan .. raster, "and each train of supplies is carefully guarded and convoyed until It is safely in the American compounds for distribution to the starving pepole. Our workers over there daily take their lives in their bands, owing to the unstable political conditions In the nesx east and conse J quent lack of protection from the thieving and murderous Turks and Kurds. But the desperate condition of the starving war victims there im pels the valient workers to carry on. - "Mr. and Mra. Rambo have been ent there in the Aleppo district for ' five months, and on January 19 the K" near east relief headquarters at New York received from Mr. Rambo a tf cablegram in which he said that con- dit ions there were very bad, with many dy1rg from lack of proper clothing and nourishment; that all the orphanages were crowded and many starving children wandering in the open, homeless and uncared for. He made a strong plea for prompt and generous help from America in order that the relief work might be maintained and increased." Mr. and Mrs. Rambo returned to -' Oregon several years ago from India, where -they had spent two score years -. in mfsHlonary and relief work.

Robina and Creel Named. But the portion of Martens' test! mony that stirred committee mem bers most, as evidenced b their ques tioning, was his assertion that in 1918 the "agents" of the committee on public information, the war-time gov ernment'- publicity agency, and other "officials" c of the United - States worked with soviet officials to bring about a'revolution in Germany and at the same-time got out documents here designed to prove that soviet officials were paid agents of Germany. Questioned as to the nature of these documents. Martens said they were known as the "Sisson papers." This testimony led Chairman Moses to sug gest that George Creel, chairman of the comntittee on public information, apparently was working with the So viets on one hand and against with the other, to which the witness agreed. Asked regarding the "offi cials' mentioned.

The soviet Russian government has frequently offered to agree with other countries or the world in a mutual plan to leave each others' "internal affairs" alone. Martens told the com mittee, adding that his pvernment could be depended upon to keep its promises in this .matter, "because its economic Interests lay that way," and Lenine and others only advocated the general revolution during the period wnen other nations were actively at tacking the Soviets. Martens made public today a cable gram he had sent to Maxim Litvinoff. assistant commissioner of foreign af fairs, now at Copenhagen, advising that American Red Cross personnel, recently captured in Siberia, be re leased unconditionally. .Pending that action.

STARVING While the World Looks On league of nations, is willing to admit her on any terms which the American senate may prescribe, thus contra dieting the ' constant and emphatic assertions of the president that adop tionof the Lodge reservations would not be accepted by the other powers and would require a reopening of the entire peace conference. Contributing to the displeasure Mr. Wilson, it is said, is the in forma tion conveyed to him that during hi residence at Washington Lord Grey acting presumably under instructions from his government, communicated Great Britain's attitude to Senato Lodge and other republican members of the committee. Mr. Wllaooh Inaccessible. In diplomatic circles it is asserted that before seeing these senators Lord Grey tried repeatedly to get to the president with this information in order that he might modify Mr. Wil son's uncompromising attitude toward the Lodge reservations, but that his efforts in this direction met with no success. Mr. Wilson, it is stated, does not regard this excuse as a tenable one, pointing out that Lord Grey could easily have communicated with him through the state department, which is the ordinary medium through which ambassadors and ministers communi cate with the head of the govern ment. . Lansing Apparently Barred. Members or the diplomatic corps however, have been impressed with the evidence displayed that Mr. Lan sing himself no longer has access to the president and that it is almost futile for them to attempt .to reach Mr. Wilson in this way. During the same period that Lord Grey was seek Ing to obtain an audience with Mr. Wilson similar efforts, it is known, were being made by M. Jusserand. the French ambassador, who likewise had been instructed by his government to make known to Mr. Wilson the will ingness of France to accept the Lodge programme. Likewise, it la stated, the French ambassador, after finding the doors of the White House closed to him, un dertook to make known the views of his government to members of the senate foreign relations committee.

CHANCE REMARK HEARD Trial of First of 210 Defendants Accused of Participation in De portations to Begin Soon. TOMBSTONE, Ariz.. Feb. .

Wootton, hard ware dealer of Bisbee, charged with kidnapping in connection with the deportations in 1817. Berg was recalled by the defense attorneys and questioned concerning a statement he was alleged to have made in the courtroom while waiting to be called as a juror, to the effect that "it was a shame good men had been deported and families broken up."

W. or affiliated with that organization in any man ner, who will testify in these cases. Furthermore, there will not be a de fendant prosecuted for deporting an W. W., and what is more, I am the man responsible for the breaking up of the I. W. W. organization in Co chise county." All the jurors selected today were cattlemen.
