G London, Oct. 26.-The German
steamship willehad, now at New Lon
dom, Conn, In to be used or already is
being used as wireless station for
German submarines, according to a
statement made by one OF its crew,
named Max Wieltsch, in letter to his
brother. Gustaye, in Germany.
The letter was intercepted in Lon
don. Another letter. which was from
Capt Jachens of the steamship WILLIE
had to his wife in Bremen, also de-
clares his vessel is on special mis-
sion.
The letter Of Max wieltsch was as
follows:
"My ship, the willehad, puts to sea
today. and remain here In Boston un-
til the end OF the war. The Willehad
is to be telegraph station within the
American three-mile limit for subma-
rines She has four months provisions

New London. Conn. Oct, 26.-Capt.
Jachens Of the steamer Willehad.
which has been tied up here since last
August denied late today any knowl-
edge Of the letters intercepted by the
British on their way to Germany re-
ferring to movements OF the Willehad.
Capt. Jachens' only answer TO all
questions was: Il don't know any
thing about It."
washington D. c. Oct. 2e.-There
have been various rumors about the
mission Of the Willehad at New Lon
don, but government officials here, aft
er investigations, have accepted as true
the story that 1t ventured to sea from
Boston and braved the allied cruiser
patrol off the coast for fifty miles to
act as mother ship" for German mer-
chant submarines expected to arrive at
the Connecticut port.
Inquiry has developed that the Will
lehad has not left its dock at New
London since arriving there. and its
wireless equipment has remained
sealed The ship is q merchantmen in
American waters for safety, not sub
Ject to internment. and is. free to Leave
as 1t pleases.
Naval officers thought tonight that
the special mission" referred to inthe
letter credited to Capt. Jachens evi-
IDENTIFY was the task Of caring for the
merchant submarines and their crews,
as Capt. Hinsch did at Baltimore with
the liner Neckar. They pointed out
that any attempt on the Willehad's
part to act as telegraph station
within the three mile limit would lead
to prompt action by the United States.
while operations outside Of American
territorial waters would draw quick
attention from allied cruisers.

Washington, Oct z6.-Official re-
ports received here showing that mem
hers Of the Carranza, Obregon,
Treyino Huerta and Madero families
are now in San Antonio, Tex, have
puzzled observers seeking an ex-
PLANTATION of the gathering in the
United States Of nom comibatant Mexi-
cans. Some believe the economic con-
dition in Mexico is such as to make
the members Of the wealthy class
anxious to get out Of the country for
the present.
The state department has not re-
ceived, so far as Is known, any official
reports bearing ont the charges of
General Carranza's political enemies,
this his grip is relaxing and that he is
preparing to leave Mexico. The exodus
to San Antonio has been used to sup
port this contention.
No Peace in Sight.
It is agreed in official circles that
the military situation in Chihuahua
has been made highly uncertain by
| renewed bandit activities. Despite
persistent reports that Villa is per-
sonaiiy leading his men against the
tCarranza garrison at Chihuahua City,
neither the state nor the war depart
ment has received convincing reports
that he is alive.
Military experts are pessimistic of
the result Of the Carranza campaign
against the bandits. They believe the
Carranza troops have little chance to
destroy these commands, because they
have M Sunn1y frafpa NOR transpprt
systems. It is known that this weak
ress Of the Mexican forces has been
strongly presented to the Mexican
American commissioners. TO the army
officers 1t represents a serious obstacle
to the present restoration Of order in
northern Mexico.
