RED CROSS PLANS.
THE RAIDER WOLF.
Extracts taken from the Dutch, paper, Het Nieuws den Dag, of Satur day 7 and Monday 9 of December, 1918
About April 20, 1918, we found in several newspapers a very interesting story about the raid of the Wolf taken from an interview with two passengers of the steamer Matonga which had been taken in the oceani One of the passengers, Colonet Strangman, stated that after the raider Wolf had taken the Matunga she steamed to ece fine and also totally-Eden harbour in Neederland. New Gainie. The Colonel says this harbour must have been care- fally selected beforehand as it has a very narrow opening of more or less i a quarter of a mile and has a good anchorage.
Captain Nagu, of the Wolf, erected there a wireless telegraph. On board they had a hydroplane which was watching the neighbourhood ata distance of one hundred miles. The steamer remained here 12 days. The Wolf took food and coal from the Matunga and the Wolf was painted all over by the crew. After this was done the Matunga was sunk.
According to the nurse of the Mat- unga the steamer was sunk on August 22.1917, so the Wolf must have re- mained with her prize in the above-

It is certain that the above. mentioned harbour is the Fatak bay situated in the north of the islands near New Gainie. In that Bay two steamers, according to the island Waigeo being one of the big information of the above-mentioned Controleur, must have been there twelve days between August 15 and 27.

We believe that these facts give sufficient materials to show that the two steamers were the Wolf and Matunga.
During the stay of these steamers the conduct of some of the officials of the Residency of Ternate was se inexplanable that it is necessary in our opinion to draw attention to it, so perhaps an investigation will take place which will be good for our Government and for the Corps of officials.
It must be taken as a fact that it must have been very valuable for the German Government that the Wolf was sure of the security of a place of safety where a lot of repairs could be made, a rest given to the crew, and where the Wolf could hide when pursued. Nobody will wonder in case later on we learn that the German Government spared no cost to procure this security (bribe) as this war has shown that neutrality of countries has proved no obstacle to the German Government to use the neutral territories for their operations. Few countries
