Information Forwarding
Station Thought to Be
Located on Mexican Coast

Mexico City, August 11.-What is be-
lieved to be German information for
warding station has been discovered
by Mexican officers on Lobos Island,
lighthouse station off the Mexican
coast, northeast of Tuxpan. The Mex
lean authorities believe the station
might have been converted into sub !
marine or naval base had it not been
located by them.
The government recently decided to
place a wireless station on Lobos
Island and when Manuel Rodriguez
Gutierrez, subsecretary of commune
cations, went to Tampico on a trip
of inspection, he sent Alberto Men
dez. chief of the wireless department
of communications to the island On
his arrival at the island Mendez found
ton. 1t had been built by the light
house keeper who formerly was me :
chanic. He was unable to give a sat
isfactory account of how he obtained
the wireless apparatus and was ar
rested.
Mendez also learned that a launch,
which had made the island it's head
quarters, had been carrying supplies,
arms and ammunition to rebels on the
mainland. who had been interrupting
traffic around Tuxpam. interfering
with oil business. The launch was con :
fiscated.
AS Mendez. with the keeper pris-
oner, started for the mainland in a
lighthouse tender another vessel prs
off from the mainland and fol1owe
the tender until it was within the
three mile limit.
Mendez has made a full report and
government agents are securing the
coast in search of other wireless
plants

BOYS AND GIRLS
WILL SWELL CROP
OF BLACKEYE PEAS
Seven Hundred in Jefferson
and Adjoining Counties
Have Planted Acre
Each

Seven hundred children in Jefferson and
the six adjacent counties have planted
an acre of black-eye peas
This means that this section of Ala
bama will be well supplied with peas this
fall, and Sid w Lee, chairman of the
Alabama Black Eye Pea club, organized
under the auspices of the food prepared
ness bureau, believes that the boys and
girls are going to deliver the goods with
an abundant harvest
The intent of the club is to increase the
Weld of black eye peas at least 100000
bushels or more this year. This estimate
will be realized, it is believed Letters
are being daily received from members
are in fine shape and every boy and girl
member seems to be after the first prize
OF $25 which was offered by the food
preparedness bureau
Alabama farmers are also awaiting
themselves of the recent offer of the
bureau to list their products for market,
and these blanks, which are supplied by
the bureau, are becoming very much in
demand. The listings from the farmer
will be printed in bulletin form and dis
tributed among buyers both in the state
and in adjoining states. Outside the state
products will also be listed for the use
of the farmer who wants to buy some
thing
Richard NJ Hobbie of Montgomery, rep
resentative for Herbert Hoover, national
food administrator, in letter to the food
bureau, commended the work of the bu-
reau highly and stated that it's services
would be valuable to the food admins
tration. Mr.. Hobbie said in part as fol-
lows:
I'VE wish to congratui you upon
a splendid organization and in our
opinion this is exactly what We need
in Alabama at the present time, and
we only wish that there were such or
CARNATIONS in every city In the state.
We will be very glad to have you CO.
operate with Mr.. Hoover's organiza-
ton along this line, as we believe that
our first duty will be to help the
farmers of the state to secure markets
for the magnificent food crops they
have raised"

PEACE RESOLUTION
OFFERED IN SENATE
BY WISCONSIN MAN
LaFollette Would Have
the Government State
Objects of War and
Terms Again

Washington, August ia peace
resolution was introduced today in the
Senate by Senator LaFollette. 1t pro-
vides that this government define def
nitely the objects for which it shall

on record as opposing support by the
United States for annexations or in
IDENTITIES for other nations, and pro-
poses the amassing of a common fund
by all the belligerents for restoration

bate. On motion of Senator Williams

can Union Against Milyitaryism were
distributed in the press gallery. Sena-
tor LaFollette denied that the organ
ization had any connection with the

nished to a representative of the organ
ization who requested that he be sup
piled one.

States will not make peace until its
purposes and principles declared by
President Wilson in his address to Con-
gress, April 2, shah have been ac-
knowledged and accomplished, and that
