SLEUTHS CANNOT FIND
UNLICENSED WIRELESS
Mysterious Stations Do Not Exist So
Far as Navy Radio Service
Has Leaned.

Despite the most painstaking investiga-
tion, agents OF the Navy Radio Service
have been unable TO find any evidence to
Justify the oft-recurrent reports OF mys-
terious foreign wireless stations at vari-
Gus points along the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts. This statement figures promi-
nently in the annual report of the
bureau. made public Friday.
After describing at length the various
steps taken since the outbreak of the war
to censor wireless communication. the re-
port states:
Closely connected with the subject
of censorship and coming to the front
after the first Executive order, was
the question of the existence Of unau-
thorized radio stations. Many re-
ports reached the Navy Department
of mysterious radio stations that sud-
denly sprang into being for the sole
purpose of transmitting messages in
violation of the radio neutrality procla-
nation.
Every report was carefully investi-
gated. and 1t is gratifying to report
that in not one instance was a radio
station found that did not have a
proper legal existence or one found
that had the possibility of transmits
sion that would reach vessels at sea
over the smallest possible distance.
1T is not intended to intimate that
possible illegal stations have not ex-
listed. but certainly none Of the very
many reported have been found"

BLUE SUGGESTS MORE
ACADEMY APPOINTMENTS
Chief of Navigation Bureau Would
Have Each Member of Congress
Given Additional Cadetship.

Every Senator and Representative viii
set an additional appointment to the Naval
Academy. if a plan proposed by the
Bureau of Navigation for increasing the
number of officers in the navy is adopted
by Congress. Calling attention to the
fact that only 75 per cent of the present
number of midshipmen is at
the academy at any one time. Rear
Admiral Victor Blue, chief Of the
bureau. in his annual report made public
last night, suggests that each member
of Congress be given three instead of
two appointments to the academy.
As another means Of raising additional
officers tOman the chips building. built
and those soon to be authorized. the
report urges the enactment OF a law
which will permit twenty-five graduates
of technical schools throughout the
country to be commissioned annually for
three-year terms Of service.
The bureau urges the enactment Of a
law providing for the enforced retirement
annually Of a certain number of officers
above the grade of junior heutenants in
order to prevent stagnation in promotion
to the upper grades.

This may be a day of irritability
and discomfort. IL one is susceptible

Mars is in a place exceedingly threat
ening and Saturn is adverse. The
Sun is in benefic aspect late in the
day.
Criticism and sensitiveness may
cause domestic differences to increase
while this configuration prevails. The
stars are unfortunate for those who
meet relatives or attend family re-
unions.
After sundown the sway tends to-
ward a kindlier spirit than in the
earlier hours OF the day. The Sun
gives encouragement to all who would
ask favors of their elders or of per-
sons in positions of authority.
France and Italy may expect heavy

The Pope comes under a direction
Indicating great mental strain. He

ward peace, it is predicted. but they
will not be successful. even though he
will be encouraged early in the
spring.
Money matters come much into pub
lie notice in the next few months.
when. 1t Is foretold, a tendency to de-
fraud will be apparent in all walks of

greatly increase.
Again a season of contrasts is indi-
Gated. In social affairs extravaganza
will infiame prejudice among workers
and increase public discomfort.
During the next few months women
should be especially careful of the
health. The death of a leader in pub

Financiers are warned to be exceed

A second accident Is prophesied for

Nearly 200 years ago. Louis Juche-
reau St. Denis. French soldier Of
fortune. looked up the Valley Of San
Antonio. He was the first white man
to explore that part Of America
In 1918 San Antonio will obseibe the
bi-centennisl Of his visit with an in
ternational exposition at which will
be displayed the resources OF Texas
and other Southwestern States, Mexico
and other Latin-American republics.
Afraid of nothing. the discoverer Of
San Antonio valley rode forth from
New Orleans. single-handed. through
n country inhabited by hostile Indians.
to establish a trading post in West
Texas for the governor of Louisiana.
Pliests Founded City.
He reached San Antonio and then
pushed southwark to The Rio Grande.
across this river into Mexico. where
he was captured. He was taken to
the City q Mexico and. after lying In
n dungeon for more than a year. was
given his freedom upon his promise
to escort a company of Spanish priests
to San Antonio. where another out
post Of civilization could be estab-
lished.
In the Valley of San Antonio. then
known as the Valley of Many De-
lights. this band of priests founded
what is now the metropolis OF Texas.
Almost n century before Santa Ana's
Mexican troops swarmed through the
historic Alamo. over the bodies of
David Crockett. Ben Milan and those
other immoytals OF Texas history. San
Antonio was a thriving town and the
center of religious community of
which the mission Conception, San
Juan and San Jose were centers.
The history of Texas is closely
linked with the history of San An
tonic. and II was from this point that
other settlement parties originated.
Seek U. >. Participation.
With this history for a background
and its present commercial Importance
and geographical location for n setting.
San Antonio is planning to celebrate its
200th birthday with an international
exposition. To attend its birthday. San
Antonio intends to invite the world to
an exposition which will stand for all
this historic city represents.
The State of Texas is behind the
plan. while efforts will be made to
have the government participate. With
this end in view. a committee of prom
