RAD WIRELESS ID SIGNAL EMPHASIZES
Carried Their Apparatus About in Au- tomobles Along the Pacific Coast Witness Declared That Japs-ese We're Shipped From San Francisco for War Purposes.

San Francisco, Dec. p0--War time secrets were revealed one alter the 1 other today in the federal court at the trial of German Consul General Franz Bopp and his associates on charges Of conspiring to violate American neu- trality by dynamiting shipments of war supplies en route to the allies.
 P. II. yon Sohack, vice consul and one of the defendants, testified that he had been ordered by the German government to secure information on the Pacific coast concerning war nun. ition shipments to Great Britain and her allies. For thls purpose, he said, he hired C. c. Crowley, another yf the seven defendants, and Louis G. Smith, star witness for the govern mont. Smith is a co-defendant.
 Won Schack said Crowley had re- ported to him discovery of Japanese roaming up and down the California coast with field glasses gazing out at sea for glimpses of German war ships The Japane~e Crowley's re- ports showed, the witness said, had automobile wireless stations to reiay aDy information they secured.

 When General Scott, before the house committee. quoted from the mobilization rerort to show that ont of an enrolled strength Of 95009 men in certain units of the guard called for border duty, only 47.00o actually were available for the fed eral service Representative Anthony of Kansas asked whether it was fair to judge the national guard system on a mobilization of what was in real. ity the old organized militia. Repre- sentatiyes Hull and Greene joined in this view
 "ls it not a fact" insisted Repro sentative Greene. that neither the national guard nor the regular army as contemplated by the national de. fense act Of 1916 was in existence when the border call cameo
 General Scott admitted this was true as the act did not go into effect until after the call was made. He reiterated his opinion, however, that completion of the new organization would produce little better results
 When the general read figures on national guard recruiting showing that only 15.000 men were collected in four months active work, through out the country and that at cost of more than $50 man "iust to enroll, not to equip him. Representative Greene interrupted.
 Was not this after the young vol unteer knew he was to see no active service but merely to do border po- lice duty?' he asked.
 "lt was to carry out orders by the resident of the United States to meet an emergency General Scott said
 "Oh, yes, that's the way it reads. /" Representative Greene said, "that s not the way the men on the border looked at it or the young men back home"
 We cannot rely for our defense on a system of kind where that would be possible" General Scott said. "Le' me say also that I have especially asked you to understand that l am not discussing the men of the ma tional guard but the system"
 "Did not congress show that if re alized these very weaknesses of the old system?" demanded Representa- tive Huh, when il framed it in the national defense act?"

France and Ita.y, tu,taer action by neut"ls would depend upon the next careful and delicate moves Of the be- lieereGts.
 I3y whgle irnor of sioal opinion throughout Washinston when the presidents action became known was t1at it immeasurably improved the prospects for scme sort of exchanges looking t-Ward an aDrroach to peace dis. ssiou between the tellieereu, ,s without impairina the position O. the lnlted States should they finally be uahte to find a group on waicA 70
 pUoach one another.
 At the white house no statement whatever could be obtained as to whether any of the powers ever had intimated how they would receive the note and there was every indication that the same careful secrecy which prevented anything e ateycr becom. ing known about the presidents c. ton until it had been taken would surro-nd any cf the succeeding moves.
 Nowhere on the surface appears ang indication Of abe btstory-maHna

 II would therefore not be surprising if the allies rellies were ready by the end Of the week. Especially. it is said, would this be true in the ease of Great Britain note. which the prime minister is dec.ared to be anx- ious to dispatch without delay.
 When the terms Of the note arc de- nitey agreed upon and the document is signed by l.ord Robert Cecil who is acting foreign secretary in the ab- sence of Mr. Balfour, it may be hand ed to Ambassador Page with the re- quest that he forward 1t to the sta.e department at Washington for trans mission to Germany This is said 10 be the most likely method inasmuch las the United States represents tho allies interests in Germany. It is Britain may decide to dispatch the reply direct to the British ambassador at WasliagIon with instructions to ti,u,rna > the state daparment.
