GERMANS SEEKING
SUBMARINE BASE
Attempt to Secure Island Of
Margarita From Venezuela;
u. S. Kicks Hard.

WASHINGTON, June 2.-Reports
that Germany Is attempting to secure
possession of the tiny island Marga-
rita, off the coast of Venezuela. for
submarine base were received by
the government today. A sharp pro-
test was forwarded by the state de
partment to President Gomez Of Ven
czuela
Officials do not believe the govern
ment of Venezuela would be "A party
to any such alienation OF territory.
even tho temporary Venezuela Is one
OF the South American governments
that have Joined in protesting against
submarine warfare as conducted by
Germany. altho her technical position
remains one OF neutrality.
Tcutons Hard at Work.
1t has been known by the American
government for weeks, however, that
German influences actively have been
at work In Venezuela and that indi-
rect if not direct measures have been
taken by agents of the German en-
perOr to secure the official and popu-
lar sympathy IL is suggested here
that Nenezuela's accession to the Ger
man overtures in the case of Marga-
rita is rendered very unlikely 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. 1t Is pointed out
that the cessiOn even tho temporary
would be "A direct violation of the
Monroe doctrine and would undoubt-
edly call for energetic and prompt OPP
position by this government.
An Ideal Base.
Margarita is off the northern coast
of Venezuela near the southeastern
corner Of the Caribbean sea and with
in striking distance Of the Panama
canal. II is about five hundred miles
from Culebra and one thousand miles
from Colon. Its adjacent waters in
cluding the gulf of Cariaco would
make it admirably adapted as a naval
base

refused to discuss the efforts he ana
his friends were making to solve the
mystery.
Already Paid?
The latest gossip was that the
father already had paid the sum
asked by the kidnapers and that the
boy was to be returned tomorrow
after the abductors had had sufficient
time to leave Springfield But that
met with denial and could not be con-
firmed.
Mr.. Keet today repeated that he
would pay gladly the $4,000 believed
to have been demanded for tho re-
turn Of his son. He appeared to be-
lieve implicitly that the boy was kid
raped and that he will he returned
provided tho abductors can exchange
tho little fellow for the ransom asked.

that he may serve the country in the
