TO ASK EXTRADITION
Great Britain Informally Serves No
tice That Van Horn viii be De-
manded

Washington, Feb. 3.-Three gov
ernments are today closely watching
each other in the diplomatic situa-
tion growing out Of the action OF
Werner Van Horn, native German
in dynamiting the international rail-
way bridge between this country and
Canada. Officials in Washington,
London, and Berlin are anxiously
awaiting the first step in the effort
of Canada to extradite Van Horn.
In many respects the situation is
the most delicate in which the
United States has figured since the
outbreak of the European war.
Almost certain by the stand which
it will take, to offend either Great
Britain or Germany, the State De-
partment faces the additional likeli-
hood of offending in this country
those who favor the cause Of the
allies or those who are rro-GerInan,
The braZen act Of a man VINO
was desperate or insane has en-
phaszed again the tortuous ara
dangerous paths travelled by this
Government in its efforts to observe
neutrality.
Great Britain, speaking through
the government at Ottawa, has al
ready served notice informally thai
she will demand the extradlrsor o!
Van Horn who, after returning to
the Americas side cf tie border
was arrested in a hotel at Vancehoro
Me-. Formal application for his eX'
tradition has been forwarded to SIR
Arthur Cecil Spring-Rice, the BRIT
ish ambassador in Washington.

An additional force of some 20
men were placed at work on the
Shoshone grade last week. making in
all now about 40 prisoners that are
under the supervision OF Joe Whee-
Ter at this point The work is pro-
crossing very satisfactorily and with
the additional number OF men the
overhead expense will be proportion
ately reduced. The prisoners all
seem to enjoy the work and Mr.
Wheeler has thus far experienced no
trouble with them 4 sixteen foot
cut will be made through the solid
rock at the top OF the grade. which
will straighten out the road and les
sen the grade at this point very
much. In order to facilitate the work
and not delay the workmen, it is
thought probable that this thorough
fare may be closed for a short time
and arrangements made for all traffic
to pass over the Blue Lakes grade.
