PreSMeat Wilson Determined to
End IeitOniC Schemes.
AGENTS HIGHER UP SOUGHT BY U. S.
Ambassador Count Won Bernstoff Is
Under Suspicion Demand for
Recall of NubeT Possible.

Washington, d. C.-President Will
son has determined to put an end to
the activities Of Teutonic agents in the
United States.
BY his direction, the department of
Justice and the Secret Service are CO.
operating to secure the necessary proof
to punish the men caught in projects
which endanger the peace and safety
Of the country. More important, how
ever, il the Presidents direction that
the search shall be continued for those
"higher up" As soon as he is in
possession Of all the facts, Mr.. Wilson
will take steps to stop the pernicious
activity Of diplomats and consular Off
GERS who are directing the work of de-
stroying munitions factories, ships and
other enterprises.
II the President carries his intention
to its conclusion, and the charges now
on file should be substantiated, it
would surprise no one should this gov
ernment request Austria Hungary to
recall Herr Won Nuber, its consul gen.
eral in New York.
Count Won Bernstorff, the German
ambassador, has been under suspicion
for months, but in the absence of proof
it is clearly impossible to take any
action against him. Should the reve-
lations of DIR. Goricar, recently re-
signed as Austro- Hungarian consul, be
supported by evidence, then whatever
diplomatic consular officer is involved
will go.
The Austrian and German embassies
deny the truth of Goricar's allegs-
tions, but the Department of Justice
has had the promise of documentary
evidence to substantiate them
In addition the State department has
received from the British government
the documents carried by German
messenger. These contain q great
deal of information regarding German
and Austrian activities and supple
ment the papers taken from James F.
j. Archibald, was familiar with the
contents of Dumba's dispatches. The
Department of Justice has not initial
ed any action against Archibald be
cause it could not obtain proof that ht
had knowledge of the character of ths
dispatches he was conveying
The sections of the United States

for which is death. The Indictment,
against Fay and Scholtz are for con
spring to least away or destory'

HIs Vocation clear.

Young Arthur, the pride Of his Bea-
con street home, had been attending
school all of six weeks, and his devot-
ed parent thought 1t was high time he
should find out how things were run
ming. So he asked one afternoon:
And what did my little son learn
about this morning?"
"Oh, a mouse. Miss Wilcox told us
all about mouses."
That's the boy. Now, how do you
spell mouse?"
1t was then that Arthur gave prom
ise of entering the diplomatic service.
He paused meditatively for a moment,
then said:

Halibut, Cranberries and Turkeys In.

Tacoma-Halibut is now to be had
on the local market in any reasonable
quantity, wholesale dealers having re-
ceived shipment of $4,000 pounds.
This is one of the largest shipments
received here for some time Although
the fish has been rather scarce at vari-
GUS times during the season, dealers
say they now expect no trouble in OBJ
tanning plenty of this popular fish,
The prices of 7@7a cents a pound are
very reasonable, it is said, for this
time of the season and the quality OF
the fish was never better.
The first shipment of late cranber-
ries arrived on the local produce mark
ct this week. The berries found in
slant favor at 50. 50@10.50 q barrel.
A plentiful supply is on hand to meet
the demand and no difficulty will be
experienced in getting enough for the
trade throughout the season, say deal
ers, who praise the quality of those re-
ceived.
Eggs are firmer and may go up
within few days. The surplus has
been exhausted The trade will not
touch the eggs at q price above Al
cents, but when it gets below that
price the demand increases and soon
wipes out the surplus, which is small
because of the scarcity of the prod
uct.
Turkeys opened wholesale here at %
cents pound, the first shipment from
Oregon being received.
These fowl retails at 80 cents a
pound The shipment was small and
brought here just as = ''feeler. "
Dealers, however, do not believe
prices will go much lower than those
now quoted.

New York-The greatest volume of
exports ever recorded at single port
in the history of the United States
left New York harbor during October,
mostly for the warning nations of Eu-
rope, according to estimates made by
customs officials here. The total,
based on tabulations that are nearly
complete, will not fall far short of
$l75, 900, 900, or about $1,000, 900 a
day for every working day of the
month. In September exports from
New York totaled $162, 900, 900.
Three hundred and ninety-three
ships, nearly every one laden with a
capacity cargo, left New York during
October as compared with 365 in Sep
tember. The tabulation shows that
munitions and foodstuffs, mostly grain,
filled the list of articles shipped
abroad, with clothing, shoes, cloth for
uniforms, automobiles and automobile
parts following in close order. The
bulk of the exports went to Great
Britain.
