Small Ships Kept at home.

The shipping board directed that
after Feb. 20 no American steamer or
less than $500 dead weight tons be
permitted to clear for trans atlantic
voyage or to engage in other long
voyage trades.
In the boards judgment steamers
Of small tonnage are uneconomical ana
unsafe in the trades In question.
Steamers SO excluded will be en-
ployed in the coastwise, West Indies
or other appropriate services
To obtain a further measure OF con-
troll over ships OF less than $500 tons
and over sailing ships, the board con-
templates requisition!ng all American
tonnage not already taken over 1t
has. commandeered all steamers or
more than $500 tons.
One purpose in the order is to effect
further control over trans atlantic
freight rates. Vessels Communicated
were turned back to operators on de-
finite charter rates and the freight
rate they charge Is controlled, but
smaller ships have charged all they
could obtain.

Germany Aids Plot Against Spain.

Close relations between the German
embassy at Madrid and the most no.
torious anarchists in Spain have been
brought to light, according to the
Matin, published in Paris. The news
paper Ell Sol has published documents
to prove that DR.. Won Stobrer, second
secretary of the German embassy at
Madred. sent money to anarchtstio
agitators and committed the impru-
dence of writing to them. The pro-
paganda thus financed, adds this paper
was directed not only against public
order, but even against the person or
the king. The revelations have had q
deep eefrct in Madrid.
At the request Of the Spanish authori-
tiesc, safe conduct thru France has
boon granted to Captain Won Krohn,
the former German naval attache at
Madrid, whose recall was requested by
the Spanish government. Won Krohn's
family will also be permitted to travel
thru France on condition that they
conform to all necessary measures
prescribed by the authorities.

Watching Argentina Wheat.
Between 10000 and 10000 tons OF
wheat and -four have been purchased
in Chile and Argentina for dktribu-
ton In Mexico, according to Ell Uni.

lished In Mexico City. a Feb. II copy
OF which was received here. The wheat
and -four purchased by agents OF the
Mexican government already arc being
loaded at South American ports and
are expected to reach Mexico City BY
March *. the newspaper said.
Any attempt by Argentina to dis.
pose OF any considerable quantity Of
wheat other than to allied countries
probab bly, will meet with opposition by
the United States and her CO. belliger-
ents. The report that Mexican agents
had made contracts for wheat in Ar
gentina were supplemented by infor-
nation at the state department which
indicated that the agents were mem-
bers OF the party that accompanied
Luis Cabrera to South America.
Contracts already have been made
by the French and British for the
greater part OF the surplus Argentine
wheat. and officials Of the American
government assume that the Argentina
government will see there Is no viola
ton OF those agreements. In the event
an effort is made to move grain to
Mexico in large quantities, difficulties
