Deiches Gives Facts.

New York, Jan. 5.-Maurice Dei- ches, who was arrested in Philadel- phia on Sunday and charged with conspiring to defraud the United States in connection with an alleged plot to secure passports for Germans wishing to return to light for their country, waved immunity and made a long statement to United States Att torney Marshall This was the most important development of the day locally in the investigation by the fed oral authorities of conspiracy which, it has been hinted, might involve men more prominent than those yet men toned in the plot to secure by fraud passports for German fighting men.
 Mir. Marshall would not discuss NIT. Deiches' statement. He would not even say whether or not it bore out the governments contention in the matter. It was evident that the United States attorney had orders from Washington to minimize the whole affair lest 1t might make trou- ble for real Americans abroad. He asked to be excused from answering most of the questions which naturally suggested themselves in connection with the arrest of Mir. Deiches and Carl Ruroedc. q former employe of the North German Lloyd Line, and tho detention of several reservists who were about to sail bearing passports alleged to be fraudulent
 No Further Arrests.
 MT Marshall did say, after listen ing to MT. Deiches' statement, that no further arrests were expected. He added:
 "I think we are at the bottom of the thing and know all about 1t and that it was stopped before 1t had got ten very far. l don't believe there are many bad passports still unac- counted for, and I believe that we know pretty we'll where all those are. In consequence We will be able to protect any American citizen on the other side who has a good passport. and the publication of the proceed ings here will cause the bad pass ports to disappear quickly"
 Before making the statement to MT. Marshall MT. Deiches was arraig gned before Commissioner Houghton and was held in s5,000 bail for a hearing on January II at o'clock. George Gordon Battle. who represented Mir. Deiche es, said that his client was n- nocent of the charge brought against him and pointed out that MT. Deiches had been eager to come here from Philadelphia to face any complaint that might be made.

Situation Very Embarrss ssing.

The situation is regarded officially as one of considerable diplomatic im- DC rtance and very embarrassing for this government to handle.
 It is this phase of the passport situation which. it is believed, has de- tered Secretary Bryan from issuing a statement setting forth the actual ex- tent of the plot which had been un- covered and which led to several ar rests in New York on Saturday. Some officials have desired that this step be taken to neutralize congregations of the extent of the passport frauds and the consequent damage to the prestige of passports in the eyes of belliserent nations

 The department of justice will take no action in regard to this disclosure other than to communicate its infor- nation to the state department, which has been done.

Handled by Lansing.

The diplomatic aspects of the situa- ton are being handled directly by Counsellor Lansing of the state de- partment, who has been in close touch with the special agents of the depart ment of justice for several days.
 An authoritative denial was made yesterday of a published statement that thirty more arrests are to be eN- pected In the passports case. It was learned that the investigation by the department is practically complete and that with the arrests already made the attempted fraud is regarded as having been completely frustrated.
 Count von Bernstorfr, the German ambassador, was out of town yesterday and no comment has yet been made at the embassy on the arrests Of German reservists in New York.

Presently Cousin Nettie's attention

All the rest of the day the pair chat

both. 1t was nearing dark when she

Happy Jack Misses Farmer
Browns Boy.
Copyright. 1918. By J. G. Lloyd,
One and one are always two.
And two and two are four.
But Just as true it is you'll hnd
That love and love make more

Go ask Happy Jack Squirrel. He
knows. He knows because he has
proved it, 1t began when Farmer
Browns boy saved him from Shadow
the Weasel Perhaps | should say,
when Farmer Browns boy and Tommy
Tit the Chickadee, saved him. for if
it hadn't been for Tommy it never
would have entered Happy Jacks head
to run to Farmer Browns boy. After
that, of course, Happy Jack and Farm
er Browns boy became great friends
Farmer Browns boy came over to the
Green Forest every day to see Happy
Jack, and always he had the most de-
licious nuts in his pockets. At first
Happy Jack had been wee bit shy.
He couldn't quite get over that old fear
he had SO long. Then he would re-
member how Farmer Browns boy had
saved him. and that would make him
ashamed, and he would walk right up
and take the nuts.
Farmer Browns boy would talk to
him in the incest way and tell him he
loved him, and that there wasn't the
least thing in the world to be afraid
Of Pretty soon Happy Jack began to
love Farmer Browns boy little. He
couldn't help it. He just had to love
any one who was so kind and gentle
to him. Now, as soon as he began to
love little, and felt sure in his own
heart that Farmer Browns boy loved
him a little, he found that love and
love made more love. and it wasn't any
time at all before he was almost jeal-
Gus of Tommy Tit, who had been
friend of Farmer Browns boy for
long time. 1t got SO that Happy Jack
looked forward each day to the visit
of Farmer Browns boy, and as soon
as he heard his whistle he would hasten
to meet him. Some folks were unkind
enough to say that it was just because
of the nuts and corn he was sure to
find in Farmer Browns boys pockets,
but this wasn't SO at all.
At last there came a day when he
missed that CHEEKY whistle. He waited
and waited. At last he went clear to
the edge of the Green Forest, but there
was no whistle and no sign of Farmer
Browns boy. 1t was the same the next
day and the next. Happy Jack forgot
to frisk about the way he usually does.
He lost his appetite. He just sat
around and moped.
When Tommy Tit, the Chickadee came
to call. as he did every day, he found
that Tommy was anxious. too. Tommy
had been up to Farmer Browns door
yard several times, and he hadn't seen
anything of Farmer Browns boy
Il think he must have gone away"
said Tommy.
HE would have come down here

From his youth upward the khedive

issued a certain order to the Egyptian
army, of which Lord Cromer heard for
the first time in the r'iddla of a game
OF tennis. The man with the red face
and the white hat dropped his rae
quet to pencil a note informing the
khedive that the order must be with
drawn or his highness would be de-
posed. While waiting for the reply.
