 No Money to Be Found
 Extensive and thorough search through files and records Of many years and inqIrios among l1wyrrs here have resulted in the unanimous conclusion that the estate is non eXistant.
 Drake married twice. the records indicate. There were no children Of either marriage and the famous sca fighter left but about $20O.Qg0 10 his widow.

INTERNATIONAL EVENTS WRECK
DIPLOMATS VACATION PLANS
Ambassadors Rush to Capital When Some
thing Starts Now, Recalling Their
Indifference" When War Started.

It was from Manchester, Mass, that
Ambassador Duniba of the then power
full Austro-f1ungarian empire tele-
graphed the State Department report
ing the ASSASSINATION Of the Archduke
Frank Ferdinand at Sarajevo.
It was from Newport that the Rus
sian Ambassador, Bakhmeteff, sent this
cryptic telegram to Secretary Of State
Bryan on August 2, 1914: II have just
been informed by my government that
Germany has declared war on U.S."
From the German Ambassador, at
the same Summer resort, came SINH
lar message: 1T am instructed by my
government to inform you that the LIST
of August Germany is in a state of
war with Russia"
It was from Manchester that the
Italian embassy telegraphed Bryan
notifying him of Italys Intentions to
remain neutral.
The French embassy at Manchester
sent lengthy explanation on the way
hostilities were started" But not one
diplomat on the eve of the World War
deserted the New England beaches to
confer personally with the State De-
partment.
Today all this has changed. And
the chief reason for the change Is the
fact that in 1914 European diplomats
frankly did not consider the State De-
partment worth consulting. To them
the United States played no important
part in international affairs.
