statement.
In reply to Senator Cameron's
statement that papers in the case
wer filed in 1916 and that no effort
was made to serve them until last
week, McFarlin said:
The only reason the papers were
not served before was because ii was
first necessary for Senator Cameron
to place himself within Jurisdiction of
the court. If he was innocent, why
did he not accept service previously
IL he knew, as he says, that the pa
pers were filed five years ago?"
McFarlin's wife was formerly Miss

ENGLAND ENL|STS
GERMAN SEAMEN
Novel Plan Is Designed to Frus-

can Vessels.

That England 10 recruiting German
seamen for the British Mercantile
Marine and other English shipping
companies. actuated by the. fear that
the United States might enlist Ger
mans in the United States Navy and
dispatch received today at the Irish
Diplomatic Mission Of Washington.
The dispatch was printed in the
German newspaper. "Reichswert" and
in several Danish publications. 1t Is
the first news OF it's kind to reach
the United States.
1000 ALREADY ENLISTED.
The cable goes on to say that
nearly 900 German officers formerly
in the service OF the Austrian mon
archy and in the Rumanian service
have enlisted in the military forces
years at large salary.
The dispatch reads as follows:
According to the German newspa-
per "Reichswert" Great Britain is en-
listing officers and seamen on the
continent. Nearly 1000 officers FORM
erly in the service Of the Austrian
monarchy and In the Rumanian
service have been enlisted In the
military forces of Great Britain
These units will be well paid and
will have to serve In His Imperial
Majesty's Forces for a period Of five
years. The first year will be spent
in England acquiring the language
and afterwards they will be trained
for Colonial Service.
'"Seamen for the British Mercantile
Marine are being hired at the Ger
man ports. The agents OF Great
Britain are taking sdvantage of the
unemployment and want prevailing
in Germany and offer the seamen
permanent employment and high
| wages.
SHORTAGE REPORTED.
Prior to the war there was a lack
of able seamen In Great Britain and
the present shortage is still greater.
The British government as well as
the British ship owners and shipping
companies are evidently determined
to put up a keen competition against
the United States in the domain Of
ocean freights.
THE authorities and shipping COM
panies in London have feared for a
long time that the United States
might enlist Germans in the U. s.
Navy and mercantile marine. 1t Is
said that the prevailing misery In
Germany will drive many officers and
subalterns into the British service"
