STOCKHOLM. Aug. 22. - Allied secret service and intelligence off cers, with the cooperation of the pos lice of the Scandinavian countries. have recently succeeded in unearthing md dispensing large and well or ganized German submarine intelli- genee office headquarters in Gothen- burg, Sweden.
 In their investigations, the officers discovered naval intelligence map of the waters surrounding the British Isles and the North sea. The water area on the map was divided into small squares, each one numbered. An elaborate code was also found for use .n conjunction with this map. Mes sages based on this code, although ap. parently reading like private mercan- tile telegrams and cablegrams, could be deciphered into accurate descrip' tions of allied warships or of belliger- ent or neutral merchantmen.
 From the spy headquarters in Goth enburg, agents were sent to Seandina yian ports and attempts were made whether successful or not, to get them into England. These agents were sup piled with code and may mentioned and were reporting to headquarters on the sailing of merchantmen. Il is supposed that in some way the headquarters in Gothenburg communi

WILL ORGANIZE 4 CHAPTER RED
 CROSS

Robert H. Scott, field representative and director of the Pacific coast diyi- sion of the American Red Cross. ar rived in Cordova this afternoon and met with the officers of the local chapter. He Is on his way to the westward, and will stop over here on his return.
 Mir. Scott has given authority to Cor. doya to organize a chapter, and he expects to come back here in a couple of weeks, when he will address our people on the work of the American Red Cross.
 'The people of Alaska are to be con graduated. he said, "on their good showing made in memberships. in ar ticles prepared and shipped, on the mor ey raised for the cause during the Red Cross week and also on their subscriptions for the Liberty bond is. sue.
 The main difference between the Red Cross and the Liberty bond is- sue is that one Is an investment of dollars to receive return of dollars and to send soldiers to the front to fight. The Red Cross Is an investment of dollars to care for the soldiers af- ter they are at the front and an in yestment which returns dividends ir lives.
 Tt has become a recognized fact now that any man who is not a mem. Der of the Red Cross is evading his duty to his government as much as the man who fails to vote. The Red Crosf sr~ rveerttss undergone a reorgnna1n ton and Henry P. Davison, of the J P. Morgan Company. is in general charge of the work. with Harvey D Gibson, president of the Liberty Ma ttional Bany of New York city,. as the business manager.
 "One part of the great work which we have undertaken will be the feed ing of the Belgians. Five millions oi people stand for hours in the weathe and rain to receive one pint of souT and piece of bread as large as you fist. This is their daily ration. and i all that they have. Their means livelihood has been absolutely takeI from them, and they are at the mere of charity.
 "The American Red Cross is il great need of vast quantities of surgi cal and hospital stores, and they are wanted at once. Every woman should do her part in assisting. A woman who makes surgical bandages which may save the life of one soldier is ren, dering nearly as much service as tho man himself, because every mar wounded, and saved. then returned the line is worth two men who havt never been under fire.
