MAN SMUGGLING PLOT
REVEALED AS ALIENS
CROWD OVER BORDER
Most Common Means Employed

MEXICO CITY, Mex, Oct. 10.-For-
tunes art being made. according to re-
ports here. by men who are engaged
in the business of getting immigrants
across the border into the United
States. 1t is said that few of the ar
rivals are detained at the border If
their journey is directed by one OF the
skillful agents engaged in this new
man smuggling.
Those who are caught by immigra-
ton agents are waits who go on their
own hook" because they are financial
" unable to hire an agent to guide and
advise them. These, on landing at q
gulf port, start at once for the border
Some have shrewd advice and manage
to get across, but once across they
usually attract attention.
Those who are helped by the profess
sional aiders of border jumpers are
guided after they enter the United
States until they reach a place III which
they are more or less secure.
They leave trains at points some
distance from the border and complete
their Journey by motor car. The bur-
der is crossed in various WAYS, the
methods depending upon the number
of men in party.
Not long ago, when delegates TO n
convention made a sightseeing Trip 10
a Mexican town on the border an
agent guiding party of border jump
ers was in some way able to get badges
similar to those worn by the delegates.
These he distributed among the lnem-
bers of his party. They were aOlc to
cross without interference and board
la train for the interior of the United
, States.
Usually however the agents 10 not
E put their parties aboard trains at i'm
} portant border cities, where close
: watch is kept. They have made IN M
| telligent study of the risk they face
: and have ways of routing their charges
which reduce to a minimum the ram
ger of detection.
The men who are able and willing to
pay for the service of these agents. il
b is said, have friends in the United
States who have places waiting for
them in stores and shops. Most OF
p them are from Russia and Poland.

HATRED FOR j. S. LEADS
ALIENS TO ROB BANKS

CHUGWATER, Wyo., Oct. lO.-Q'
N. S.)-The hatred of two German
sympathizers for America is believed
lby county officials here to have beeh
the motive of an unsuccessful attempt
| to rob the Chugwater State Rank py
lAdolph Pfinder and Herman j. kusel.
The two men drew up to the BANK
! in an automobile during the noon hour,
rushed to the bank counter and order
ed Cashier Robert Rollins to throw up
his hands. Ducking beneath the coun-
ter Rollins grabbed a gun and opened
fire on the bandits, seriously wounding
Kusel.
Finder escaped but was captured
1.-TWO days later in Bushnell Neb., 1l0
miles from the scene of the holdup,
after being trailed by posse of deputy
sheriffs.
In a confession to authorities here
IFfiuder declared that the attempt to
rob the bank was the first step in a
i"declaration of war" that Kusel and
himself had made upon the United
lstotes
According to the alleged confession

SHORT SUBMARINES AS
NAVAL HOLIDAY LOOMS
America Lacks Mine Layers
and Huge Fleet Submarines
That Other Nations Have.

WASHINGTON, oct 1O.--Thc Am
erican navy Is seriously lacking in the
latest type of submarines, according to
the navy department. "On paper" the
United States has 1i2 submarines, but
many Of them arc considered obsolete.
Types of submarines in which the
United States IL lacking" include the
mine layer and the huge fleet subma-

Some Are Unreliable.

The present design of the Holland
engine it is stated by the navy depart
mont, has proved unreliable, so that
the completion Of thirty-one Of the S
boats is being held up until the desir-
ed changes in design of the engine
have been made. The navy has three
submarines of the r class. known as
fleet submarines. They were built as
an experiment, being the largest ever
undertaken by this government. but
have not proved a success as accom-
panying craft for the fleets owing to
the unreliability of their engines and
light torpedo armament.
Under the present organization there
are ghore-hased divisions and divisions
based ON mother ships. capable of
moving about. The submarine fleet is
distributed on both coasts in the ca
nal zone. Hawaii and in the Philip
piuos With the development of the
newer types an even more powerful
distribution is exracted. owing TO the
important place the submarine has
achieved in naval strategy.

East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1921-10-10

The announcement was regarded as
one Of much importance by officials
here who are known to be opposed to
any possible suggestion for cutting in
to present building plans of the war
department.
The United States has no e-layer
types at all, but has three fleet subma'
rines of the so-called V-type under
construction. These three boats are
government designed and are the last
word in their class, They are BUILDING

ceeded even this development, the
German navy having built, during the
war, undersoa boats of 2200 tons, The
British navy today has another type in
which we are lacking, the socalled NJ
typo of submarine, which mounts
powerful large-calibre guns. The Am
erican navy also lacks distance cruiser
submarines.

This siren whistle is a conque shell
whose perfect tnting looks like it
might have only yesterday come from
the bountiful hand of nature but as
matter of fact it has been in use
fer 1l3 years and just how much
longer it has been in existence no one

The shell came into the possession
