the impression that they reached
Paris Again on Wednesday they
touched the receiver on Shreeve's head.
For some reason we could not get
the connection we wanted. It should
be easier to telephone to Paris than
to San Francisco. SEreeve and A. M.
Curtis, our second man in Paris, had
arranged with US to set up series
of wireless signals when he would be
listening and waiting. He agreed to
cable us the results of his vigil.
Last night Webb and r. A Heising,
who was working with him in Airing
ton, were poking out over the Atlantic
for several hours. Once they seemed to
reach Shreeve, but the signal told US
that he cid not hear. During the early
night the static interferences were ire
mendous. But toward midnight the at
mosphere cleared. Webb had the only
transmitter. Shresye was merely listen
ing.
Finally, soon after midnight, the ra-
do struck the tower hard and fast
Hello, hello, hello, hello sang
Webb. Hello, shreeve. Hello. shreeve.
Hello, Shreeve. Hello, Shreeve. One,
two. three, four. five. six, seven, eight,
nine, ten Hello, Shreeve. Hello,

lulu We figured that there was a chance
that we would hear. But Shreve was
the man we wanted to reach.
Radio traffic in the Pacific was very
light. But the air over Paris was sur.
charged with electricity. 1t seemed that
all the high-power stations in Europe
were roaring.
Webb talked in an ordinary singsong
tone. He repeated his words many times.
He used a number of words that We use
in testing. He made no attempt to hold
actual conversation with Shreeve be-
cause Shreeve could not answer. We pick
ed out words easily distinguishable be-
cause it was the basic fact of ability to
communicate that We were after. Actual
conversation is now assured. I am not
prepared to predict when
Early this afternoon we received q
cablegram from Shreeve. In It he said
that he heard perfectly. We were elated,
naturally. Somehow or other we seemed
to have forgotten about Espensheid away
over the Pacific. But Espensheid had
heard. An hour later We received his
sablegram-
He, too, had heard. But most re-
he told US that re recognized

not know who was to do the talking. He
listened in and was able to identify his
friend, Webb. by the voice Rather en-

Germany Aids Prisoners.

LONDON, Jan. 4.-In an official communication received at the Ameri- can consulate general from the Ger man war office it was stated that there had been some delay in the delivery of letters and money to pris- oners of war because the number in the hands of the Germans was 527,- 900. This communication said this matter had now been thoroughly or. ganized, and that delay in the future would be reduced.
 The German war office recently sent to the detention camps a regu- lation form of postcard, by means of which prisoners could communicate with their families. These cards have been printed in six languages. At

PETROGRAD, Jan. 4.-The Ger mans southwest of Warsaw have re- newed the offensive and are attempt ing to cross the Vistula at Czer- winsk. It is believed here that the attack is aimed at 1vangorod and Mo- vo Alexandria, two important railroad towns on the Vistula almost south ot Warsaw.
 Germans Abandon Warsaw Campaign.
 The kaiser's troops have abandon ed the campaign to take Warsaw an1 will direct all efforts towards uniting the German forces with the Austrials and save Hungary from invasion. With this object in view Field Mar shal von Hindenburg has suddenly withdrawn large forces from northern Poland and is sending them into southern Poland to break the Rus sian wedge which separates the Ger mans and Austrians. This wedge is also the force left to protect the Rus sian Galician army and in conse- quence must hold its position or the entire campaign against Austria fails. With the fighting in southern Poland the Russians can use the railroads from Bresze and Warsaw, thus adding greatly to the mobility of the army.

 J. 5. PASSPORTS Four German Reservists Caught On Outgoing Steamer-Strict Watch
 On Passengers.

NEW YORK, Jan. "A plot has been unearthed by the government secret service agents by which Ger man reservists would be able to se- cure American passports. The pass. ports were to be issued in whole sale and the thousands of reservists now here were to sail upon Ameri- can boats for Holland, Denmark, Swe- den and other neutral countries.
 Four reservists were caught on the liner just sailing and were arrested. A search of every steamer will be made by the authorities aided by the steamship owners to prevent those without passports leaving while the passports presented will be inspected with care so that fraudulent ones may be picked up.
 More arrests are 70 be made today of prominent German-Americans who are involved in the plot to aid the German soldiers to return to the fatherland to join the army.

Italy We'll Provisioned.

ROME, Jan. 1.-The Minister of Agriculture. Signor Cavasola, answer ing an interpolation in the Senate today regarding tho amount of wheat necessary for the country, said that Italy had produced 46,O00,000 quintals and needed 10,O00,OO0 from abroad Ca quintal is equal to 220 pounds.>
 The government, said the minister, had already provided for all the wheat required by the army and navy until August, 1915. He added that when the war closed the Russian and Rumanian markets, from which most of the wheat was imported, it was found necessary to overcome many difficulties to reach the American market, principally the stipulation for payment in gold, which was hamper ed by the Italian moratorium.
 Now the importations from Amer lea were increasing daily, said the minister, from thirty to forty steam CTS crossing the Atlantic constantly (Continued on page N.

 AFTER THE LAPS New Alien Law Similar To That of Arizona Will Be Passed At
 Next Session.

/ SACRAMENTO, Jan. 4.-An anti alien bill similar to that recently passed in Arizona is to be introduced in the legislature of this state at the coming session and pushed through. The bill is a'med directly at the Japanese but because of the inability of the legislators to put bill through which will only effect the Mikado's subjects and be constitution al it is planned to follow the ex- ample of Arizona and strike at all alien labor.
 It .c anticipated that a strong pro- test will be made by the admin.stra- ;ion against the bill as 1t may in- volve the government in trouble with Japan and as Japan is now allied with Great Britain, France and Rus sia it is an awkward position to place the American government in.

 Fight With the Flames.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 1.-The fires in the lumber yard district on the river front gave the department & desperate struggle yesterday. The flying boards from the first fire start ed a second conflagration half mile from the first and forced the depart ment to divide it's forces. Five fire boats and the entire city department including the high pressure system was used at the flames in the fight to conquer them. The lumber dis. trict was flooded before the confla- grafton was extinguished.
 As far as is known no lives were lost but the money damage is fully $1,00O,O0O. The fire threatened the entire water front and many of the steamers at the docks were taken down stream in order that they might be sure not to be burned.
