Trying to Get Control Of Margarita
Island, Lying Off Coast of
Venezuela.
AGENTS OF KAISER AT WORK
News Causes Much Concern at Wash
ington-ls Within Striking
Distance Of Canal.

Washington, D. G. June 4.-Re-
ports have reached the government
from a source described as reliable
that Germany is attempting TO get
control of the island of Margarita,
off the coast of Venezuela, for use
as submarine base.
The state department has for
warded the information received to
Venezuela for the consideration of
President Gomez.
The exact nature of the advices is
withheld, but officials permitted it
to become known that the report has
caused some concern here. They in
dicated that they had positive con
firmation of overtures designed to
secure control of the island, but that
they were uncertain whether the eff
fort had met with any degree Of sue
cess.
Officials do not believe that the
government of Venezuela will be a
party to any such alienation of ter
ritory, even though temporary. Ven
ezuela is one of the South American
governments that has Joined in pro-
testing against submarine warfare
as conducted by Germany, although
her technical position remains neu-
trail.
1t has been known by the Ameri-
can government for weeks, however,
that German influences have been
actively at work in Venezuela, and
that indirect if not direct means have
been used by agents of the German
emperor to secure popular and Off
cial sympathy.
1t is suggested here that Vene-
zuela's accession to the German over
lures in the case of Margarita is re-
garded very unlikely by the fact that
Venezuelan officials could not fail
to realize the seriousness of passage
of the island to the control of an
enemy of the United States. It is
pointed out that the cession, even
though temporary, would be a clear
violation of the Monroe doctrine and
would undoubtedly call for energetic
and prompt opposition by this gov
ernment
Margarita is off the northern coast
of Venezuela, near the southeastern
corner of the Caribbean sea, and
within striking distance of the Pan
anna canal. 1t is about 500 miles
from Culebra and 1000 from Colon.
Its adjacent waters, including the
gulf of Cariaco, would make it adj
mirably adapted as a naval base.
