ceived that the Kronprinz Wilhelm
was being used as a mid-Atlantic re-
lay station was true, he said, you've
guessed right" but refused to go into
my details.
That the KronprinZ Wilhelm is~pre-
pared to serve a long term of duty as
a relay ship is known. When she sail
ed out Of New York harbor at night,
she carried more than 5000 tons Of
coal and was provisioned for at least
six months. The coal was stored in
every available space. the forward coal
hatch being level with the deck. 1t
was rumored that she also carried sew
eral guns. Some hours after the Kron-
prinz Wilhelm passed the Ambrose
lightship, she was sighted by
the Ward liner SegurInca, which re-
ported that the German ship was
headed on a sOutherly course, instead
of a nO~rtheasterly course as would
have been the case had she followed
the regular path followed by liners
bound for ports in England, France
and Germany.
The station, according to the an
from Washington, is the
only one in this country of sufficient
without the use of a relay station un-
der the adverse conditions that pre-
vail along the American Atlantic coast
the summer months. The COM
was formed with the idea of
communication, without relay, be-
tween this country and Germany.

WILL CONFISCATE
GERMAN HOLDINGS

Ottawa, Aug. 27.-The government is
looking into the question of the posi-
BILE COniscation of German invest
ments belonging to comhatants in the
present war, which have been made
in Canada and which aggregate tens
of millions Of dollars.
1t will be remembered hat some
two years ago a story emanating from
Berlin was published to the effect that
Kaiser William himself had invested
very largely in British Columbia tim
Der and mining propositions. His
agent in Canada was Baron AlvO Won
AlNenslehen. 1t is stated that the lat
ter invested German capital in Brit
ish Columbia timber limits to the ex-
tent Of $29, 900 900. No confirmation Of
this is available from the dominion
department Of interior today, but Of
hcials are now looking up the matter.
Under the regulations of the depart
ment no lease can be granted except
ing in the name Of a British subject,
and legally there may he some diff
Guilty in the way of C~oniscation But
if it is shown that the investments are
really those Of German combatants in
the present war steps will probably
be taken to claim the property for the
crown. This will, of course, apply to
many other undertakings in Canada in
which German capital is involved. The
question is being looked up by the
justice department as to the rights of
the crown in such instances.
It nay be that part Of Canada's war
budget may be financed by the simple
! process Of COnfsCating German money
now in Canada. That has already been
done in Germany in the case of Brit
ish Investments there. The canceIla-
ton Of German and Austrian patents
held in Canada is also another likely
step

Among the new men will be Arlie

STUDENTS QUIT
GERMAN SCHOOLS

London, Aug. 27.-T. S. Eliot Of st.
Louis, a student in the summer schoo'
OF Madgeburg university, Madgeburg,
Germany, arrived in London yesterday
with a number of students from Fret
burg and other German universities,
which have been closed on account Of
the war.
THE German officials" Eliot said,
showed the students much considega-
ton and helped uS in every way, but
traffic was interrupted by the military
operations and there were few trains.
Consequently foreigners are getting
out of Germany slowly.
"The Russian men students have
been detained and the Russian women
students at Madgeburg are being car
ed for in a convent. 1t is unlikely that
any of the German universities will
open this fall, as virtually all the Ger
mar students, n likewise the pro-
tessors, are subject to military duty.
Conditions are too unsettled for the
few foreign students whose countries
are not fighting Germany"

When the announcement was made
that the station at Sayville was in

was being received, many persons
were skeptical, for at this season the
