HAIDA REPORTS NO TRACE FROM
 MISSING PLANE
Cutter Anchors in Road stead After Four Days
 of Searching Work

Sodden skies and zero visibility again prevented Navy bombers from flying today from Sitka to the Grand Island area for a formation search for the missing Lon Cope seaplane and it's five passengers.
 The Coast Guard cutter Haida spent the night in Juneau's harbor last night at anchor, ready to get under way again this morning to continue the search that has already taken the cutter and many small boats back and forth over miles of beach in so far futile search for evidence of the missing planes fate.
 With beaches combed on foot and with field glasses the search is nar- rowing down to the high country back of Point Arden, where low hanging clouds have so far pre- vented searching aviators from fly ing.
 Radio Log Here
 A. B. Hayes, Marine Airways Man ager who had been on the radio receiving set here Sunday when Cope was flying in with his pas sengers, brought the radio log book back to town last night, returning on the Haida after three and a half days of search.
 The log revealed that Cope had experienced no trouble on his flight north. He had been flying up the windward shore of Glass Peninsula, catching the "updraft," and report ing passing Twin Points" opposite Taku Harbor." opposite Gran d Island,' and then no more.
 When the Haida arrived in the locality a few hours after Cope last reported to Juneau, 55-mile Taku wind was blasting out of Taku Inlet, sweeping directly on to Point Arden and then down the shore line, past Grand Island, creating a possible icing area for planes, a mile wide.
 Heavy Seas Running Heavy seas were running. and the Haida and the Princess Norah, bat ting. the seas, became heavily iced down, far up their masts. All during that first night, the Haida and the Canadian steamer, patrolled beaches with carbon arc

TRYING TO END
 'WAR-BEF0RE-THE-W WAR
 ISSUES WITH GERMANS

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.--In sur roundings as ornate and costly as Herr Hitlers new palace, group of Americans and Germans are trying still to end the "war-before-the- war"
 The war with Germany officially ended in the early twenties, when we signed the peace treaty. But the war before -the-war never has been settled. It dates from the years be- fore we entered the World War, when every major accident was at- tributed to German spies. It is a tempting case for American claim ants for they are sure of their pay in cash--if they win. The money, some $26000,0O0, is in the Treas ury, the receipts from sale of Ger man patents and property seized here during the war.
 On, hot July night in 1916 flames suddenly blazed up on a barge loaded with TINT near New Jerseys Black Tom peninsula, that juts into New York Harbor. It was at a terminal of the Lehigh Val ley Railroad, the present principal claimant There were several other barges and some railroad cars there loaded with high explosives awaiting shipment to England. TWO FOR S25,OO0,0OO
 For two hours, into the early morning, the fire burned. It spread to other powder laden barges. A brave tugboat captain hooked onto two of them and lowed them out to sea where they burned without ex- ploding. Another barge floated toward Ellis Island. sending immi- grants and officials into a panic It also burned without exploding.
 But one barge near Black Tom let go. The blast sent baby into fatal convulsions three miles away. A million dollars worth of plate glass was blown out of downtown New York windows. The Statue of Liberty was pock marked. Strangely enough, most New York CTS were off the streets then-it was around 2 a.m Otherwise there might have been staggering loss of life. Barely half dozen were killed
 Six months later, in the midst of a January cold spell, fire started in the huge shell-making plant of the Canadian Car and Foundry Company at Kingsland, across the harbor from New York. In trice the plant was battlefield. Millions of dollars worth of shells being man.
