heavy sea while going to the rescue
Of the stranded Texas oil steamer
Louisiana, off Ocean City, Nd. last
night was today believed to have
reached Is. when additional reports
to the Coast Guard told Of the swamp

The second boat, containing six
men. was lowered from the Coast
Guard Cutter Yamacraw. when a
first containing nine men, had been
swamped just as it reached the tow
ering sides OF the Louisiana.
Further dispatches this morning
told Of tho safe Bleaching of a small
dingy with four men. Coast guard
officers, however, did not believe this
boat was from the Yamacraw. as il
bore strange lettering.
Hope is dwindling that tho Louis

sci has sprung serious leaks and hel
hold and engine rooms are filled. She
ran ashore in a dense fog.

United Press Leased Wire Service. ]
WASHINGTON, April 5.-Some-
where on the seaboard, guarded from
prying eyes, Thomas A. Edison and a
little crop of sub-inventors are work
ing ceaselessly-plotting Germany's
downfall
Every facility and assistance which
the government departments can pro-
vide is being furnished them in un-
stinted lot. Naval officers are con-
stantly in attendance to lend their ex-
pert experience in making practical
the coming inventions.
Just what the brain children are
just how far they will upset all past
methods of warfare-and just how
far the German government will come
to fear this little group Of workers, is
yet to be revealed.
An impenetrable curtain of secrecy
attends ther present experiments
Other than a small inner circle Of
governmental experts, their activi-
ties are known to no one. But since
It is admitted this government Is now
chiefly concerned in combating sub
marines, it is taken for granted that
some Submarine panacea' is receiv-
ing most thought.
Nest Of Spies.
CHICAGO, April 5.-Government
agents today were waiting for the
final action of the house in declaring
war before throwing out a dragnet
that will place scores of German
spies, known to be in Chicago, in Gus
indy.
A thorough investigation, which
has been conducted for months has
avealed that Chicago is a verita BILE
iot bed of spies and emmissaries of
the central powers. Headquarters are
known.
Officials also stated today that
singly and in twos and threes, thous-
ands of German reservists have been
moving out of Chicago and the
middle western states toward the
Mexican border the past week.
The force working under Hinton G.
Clabaugh, special government agent,
was recently increased by 1000 men.

thousand as rapidly as they can be
Offcered and trained.
All single men in the early TWEEN.
ties will be subjected to the first
draft under the plan.
Now that congress has nearly COM
pIeted its action on the war resolu-
ton; there is beginning to be some
uneasiness over the universal train
ing idea.
1t took the president long time TO
become recOnciled to it and it was
several weeks before the council of
national defense could secure a
unanimous vote of it's membership on
universal training as the best way to
raise an army. Under the circum-
stances democratic leaders in con-
gress predict rather extended debate
on the question. hut they feel that un.
der the pressing circumstances. it will
go through more quickly than in nor
NAL times.
