from reliable source that the last
named Is prominet German whose

In connection with German propaganda.
Federal officials do not expect to
bring Won Papen 10 trial. While he is
no longer immune from prosecution by
the United States civil authorities,
since he ceased to be member Of the

with which he Is charged is not ex-
traditable under any treaty with q for

Coos Bay Road Allowed.

Washington. D. C.--Authority has
been granted by the superintendent Of
the Coast Guard Service for the con-
struction Of road from the Coos Bay
station. along the edge Of the bluff for
a distance of three miles overlooking
the south entrance to Coos Bay. The
construction Of this road was urged by
the North Bend chamber Of commerce,
it being their contention that the road
Is necessary for the transportation Of
lifesaving apparatus in case Of q
wreck in the vicinity.
II Is pointed out that had there been
such road when the Santa Clara was
wrecked recently, the Coast Guard
might have saved the lives Of those
who persisted because Of the inability
to reach the wreck promptly.
