Officials are inclined to minimize-the reports of wireless stations, but a theory that German small craft may be operat ing along the coast is not taken lightly. Campeche is a district almost isolated from the interior and officials admit that agents of Germany might carry on the supplying of German small ships for a long time without detection.

London, Aug. 13. A statement by Arthur Henderson, the labor leader, and minister without portfolio in the British war council, who resigned Sat urday, was expected 0 be made this afternoon in Parliament and it was as sumed that Premier Lloyd-George would reply immediately. It was re ported that Mr. Henderson would de mand the production of all communi cations between the British? and Rus sian governments with reference to the Stockholm conference with a view to showing that the Premier put a wrong interpretation on the Russian telegram he quoted in a letter to Mr. Henderson. ' If the House of Commons endorses the demand a secret session is likely to be held for the communication of certain documents, reference being made in morning newspapers to a telegram which it is stated, M.

The only thipg that can save the population, the only hope that buoys them Up, is that the British armies now hammering at the gates of the Holy Land, may soon drive out the Turks. Information about conditions m Paid estine reaches here from many sources. The following statement of. the present situation is given to the Associate Press by an official in touch with all these sources: "The attitude of the Young Turks toward the unfortunate non-Turkish races within their empire has always been harsh and oppressive. During the war-it has been an open campaign of robbery, exploitation and massacre, arrangements for the conference. They say the communication received by the British government from Pet rograd does not alter its position and affirm the Russian government ''can not officially support the conference, but certainly does not oppose it. It seems to be the general opinion of parliamentary writers that things will not be straightened without trou; ble. The possible dissolution of Par liament to ascertain the country's feelings by a general election is sug gested' by The Daily News, which sup ports Mr. Henderson and which says the government is approaching a se rious crisis. If the labor conference to be held on the 21st upholds Mr. Henderson and endorses the vote at the labor convention Friday to attend the Stockholm meeting, all labor min isters, who number 7, must with draw from the government, the paper says.

American ambassador . t!. at Berlin, to have been sent by Em peror William to President Wilson in August, 1914, when the German Em- 4 peror is quoted as navmg assertea that Belgium's neutrality "had to be violated by Germany on strategical ground." , The alleged telegram, . which. -has, reached Berlin by way of Switzerland, has the Emperor saying that King George sent ' his. word through th$ Emperor's brother. Prince Henry that Great Britain would remain neutral if war broke out 6n the continent in'r I volving Germany and France and Aus-, tria and Russia.

If the press, ; in; enemy countries sees revelations in' them, that only shows they -are ignor-. - ant of the German white book which,; in essence, set forth the same event "Possibly during the conversation,." the Emperor wrote a memorandum, for the ambassador so that he might not announce anything to Washington that would be incorrect. Invthat case, it would be a matter of record des-' tined to assist Mr. Gerard's memory,, but it would-not be -a communication..; from the Emperor to President Wil son."
