This feeling is oaid to have reached a climax last night when a cor respondent asked Secretary of State Lansing if it were true he contemplated resigning. Lansing is that lie might aid to regard the report resign, as part of a bur - campaign of inisiiiforiniition about Am ericnii negotiations with tieriniiiiy. While he did not attribute this to the (lerinan embassy, but he is said to have felt that it grew out of a eries of offenses against the diplomatic proprie ties on the part of Ttornsturf f in the inalter of giving out information about informal conversations at the depart ment. The upshot was ft decision to call in Von lleriistoi'f f and put the matter to him to deny or admit. Whether he has' done this, is not known. !

The (icrmniis were refugees ia the Orient who were seeking a haven in the I'uiled States during the period of the war. It is supposed that the Brit ish naval officers seized the Ceiiiuins as being persons eligible for military service. (iarlaad declared that his last ad vices indicate,! that about 40 Hermans were scheduled to leave Kian Chau on board the China ami he believes these are the persons who were seized. The China is the only big passenger liner plying the Pacific which flies the American flag, since the Pacific Mail line discontinued business. The Toyo Ium'ii Kaisha, Japanese steam ship company and Hie ISritish company operating from llritish Columbia ports to the Orient have refused to trans port Herman refugees across the Pa cific and the China is therefore the onlv haven of these refugees.

HI. Acting Secre tary of War Scott today ordered an ex haustive investigation of every phase of :ho administration and conduct of the government aviation school at San Di ego. Scott appointed the judge advocate general of the tinny, the chief of tliej war college and the inspector general! as the board of investigation ialo the! harges of service inefficiency made by Senator Robinson of Arkansts as an af-l tetmath of the court-martial of Lieu-j tenant Lewis K. (loodier, .judge a.lvo-l ate general of the western department I of the army. j "The instructions of the board are to go into every phase of the situation and to get all details," said Scott.! "The board is empowered to remedy I any wrongs and weaknesses, no nutter wiio it hit." The board will begin its work Mon day and it will ask for all the corros pondenco alleged to have passed , be tween Colonel Samuel Heber, head of the aviation service and Captain Cow i'.i, in charge of the San Diego school. It is hinted that the final action of President Wilson and Acting Secretary Scott ia the (loodier case may be held up pending completion of the investiga tion. The senate military committee is likely to report favorably on Senator' Itobin.son's request for nil investigation after taking up the charges Monday. Chairman Chamberlain favors a broad inquiry, and there is a possibility that a senate sub-committee may go to Snn Diego. (loodier was clurged with al tering accusations filed against Cow an. Much of the evidence taken in the court-martial has been presented to the committee. Robinson claims that let ters passed between Roller and Cowan j revealing bad conditions within t lie ser vice .ind efforts to get certain appro I riatioiiR for articles not properly with in Hie province ot the aviation busi ness. Whether army aviators have not fall en to their deaths from rickety ma chines, duo to mismanagement at San Diego, is the real purpose of the probe which the senate milit.ij' committee will order Monday. Secretary Scott indicated his board of investigation had been named when the alleged mismanagement nt San Diego first became known. This body will start work nt once, regardless of the committee action. ( hainiinn Hay, of tiio house military committee said today "If Senator Rob inson's charges are correct, then1 should be an immediate investigation of the army aero service. Testimony in the past concerning this brnnch has been conflicting. For my p.irt, I have ul wnvs advocated se aralion of the signal and aviation corps, and 1 believe that aa investigation such as tho senate will lead to it." Representative K.ihn declared his be lief that the aviation service needs building up, as it is "fearfully weak."
