Powerful Equipment of Light House
1 on Lobos Island is Seized.
i Mexico City, Aug. KJ.—On the dls
sovery of a powerful radio plant on
Lobos Island, a light house station on
> the Mexican coast northeast of the
sreat oil port or Tuxpam. the Mexican
government is conducting a rigorous!
search not only for other se ret wire
less stations, but also for po-sible se- 1
cret submarine stations which may
have been projected at points on the
coast from whioh t lie submarines
could menace the oil ships from Tus
pam and Tampico to entente ports.
The indications are that the wire- [
less station on Lobos Island has been
In operation for some time, and all ■
evidence that it could be used to for
ward messages to German stations Is
being carefully sifted.
Tlie value to German submarines of
a point of communication off the Mex
ican coast in close proximity to the
steamship routes out of Tuxpam and
j Tampico is obvious, and the violation
j of Mexican neutrality such a station
I would Involve would not worry any
j submarine officer waiting for news of
j the steaming of any oil carrier.
That vessels have be°n lying off
j shore in communication with the j
I less plant is indicated in the report
j of the Mexi >n official who seized and
, closed tiie wireless plant and arrested

about 3000 pounds each, stanFng on
the track a few hundred feet a’ ead
As the train approached fh ' spot the i

j Johnson pulled the hell cord, but.
i neither the clang of f e hell nor the j
