Relations With Germany
Again at Critical Stage
Despite Apparent Calm

The relations of this government with
Germany again have reached a most
critical stage, despite the apparent
calm that appears on the surface.
The State Department is believed to
have indisputable evidence that Ger
man agents, particularly Capt. Carl
Boy-Ed and Capt. Franz Won Papen,
plotted with Gen. Victoriana Huerta to
start a revolution against Carranza in
Mexico, for the purpose of getting this
country into hot water and bringing
about interference on the part of the
United States.
President Wilson unhesitatingly gave
his approval to the action of Secretary
Lansing in asking for the recall of
Boy-Ed and Won Papen, and the Presi-
dent will stand back of Mr.. Lansing in
explanations of the decision to require
these two German embassy attaches to
leave this country.
Intimations Not Relished.
Intimations which have been given in
some quarters that Boy-Ed and Won
Papen may be sent to Mexico when
forced to leave these shores are not
reHshed by the administration, and
would be regarded as an intentional
afrront to the United States on the part
of Germany. and as bearing out the
evidence now in hand that Germany
ha stood back of plans to embroil Mex
leo again in revolution so that this
country might be kept busy with trou-
bles on this hemisphere.
l. is declared that the facts in pos
session of the State Department show
rather clearly that German agents
agreed to furnish Huerta and his CO.
conspirators with munitions and money
j, to make war on Carranza, the money
to be practically unlimited. The plot,
it is said, had started when Huerta was
arrested, with Pascual OroZco, jr., at
Ell Paso, and did not stop with his de-
tention there. Huerta, 1t is known. has
been scheming ever since his arrest to
get away, as Orozco did, and he was
and cooperation, and In the meantime
| a price of 100000 cash had been fxed
| on the head of Carranza, the belief be-
| ing that his death would upset every
thing in Mexico and again set the fac
| tions at each others throats.
Only Explanation Given.
| The only reason given by the State
Department for its action regarding
Boy-Ed and Won Papen is that their
military activities were not acceptable
| to this country. but II there is truth
in the allegations reaching the State
| Department, and believed to be backed
| by something closely akin to facts.
their activities in the direction of that
| country would be menacingly political.
Germany Is said to have denied that the
two officers had anything to do with
I conspiracies to destroy munitions
| plants IN this country, and intimates that
! these crimes were committed by fanatics.
| Ambassador Won Bernstorn s relations
| with the state Department have here
| tofore been most amicable. and person.
| ally he has been held in high regard
He is credited with being responsible
| for the easing up of the severe tension
| that existed between the Washington
and Berlin governments. He has also
| been assured that the State Depart
ment does not hold him responsible for
the activities Of his military and naval

In reply to Germany's intimation that
it would contest the withdrawal if it
were asked on anything beyond the
Hamburg-American trial and the
Archibald incident. Secretary Lansing's
reply is understood to intimate that
other things than those did enter into
the case.
AS to diplomatic precedent for the re-
quest of Germany, it is said Secretary
Lansing's communication does not ad-
nit the right of the Berlin foreign Of
flee to inquire into facts and their
sources. Consequently no specific de-
tails Of any kind were discussed.
Embassy Not ofacially Advised.
The German embassy apparently did
not know just what the next step
might be. but it was said that the en-
bassy wished it understood that it had
not been officially advised of the views
which might be held by the Berlin
foreign office and that no official state
ment upon the subject had been made
for publication.
The State Department still has under
consideration the case of Alexander Won
Nuber, Austro-Hungarian consul gen.
eral at New York The charge of
the Austrian embassy had submitted to
Secretary Lansing a number OF docu-
ments to support Won Nuber, among
them being a number Of personal let

THE CHURCH AND THE MOVIES

discomfort and is privileged to see
places of interest which are denied
the average traveller. Marvellous as
have been the achievements of some
film concerns with travel films, yet
the United Photo-Plays co. is dill
gently striving TO attain even greater
results by the presentation of the
Dorsey pictures. The mission of the
company is to stimulate an interest
not merely in moving pictures, but
10 satisfy the public demand for
higher class productions Of education
al value, increasingly striving to Sc
cure new materials new methods and
new thought supported by thorough
research, a situation giving infinite
scope for its worthy ambition.
Have you ever stopped to consider
how far reaching the influence for
good the moving pictures may have
upon the public, and why not extend
the influence through this medium
The moving pictures speak with a
gentle eloQuence far more fluent and
more impressive than the most gifted
orator, and bring to the home Incl
dents and phases of the life of far
away lands and chimes 70 enlighten
and entertain, and to enrich our store
of knowledge.
Is this not the ethical teaching of
religion, responsive through the guild
ance of the mind rather than by SEN
timent. which may remove the bar
riers of prejudice that divide men /?
The church should stand for the out
growth of the need of religion for in
tellectual expression and develop
ment. The great things of life have
their inception in small beginnings,
the great inventions of today which
have stood the test OF time were once
considered in the light of mere nov
elites or passing fancies soon to be
forgotten in the dusty archives Of
patent records.
No invention has a greater claim
upon the public or has received a
more cordial welcome than the NOV
ing pictures, which have awakened
within US a realization OF its POSSIBLE
tiles as a factor toward supplying a
want never before satisfied. II can
not be said that we ever attain the
pinnacle of excellence in any field Of
endeavor, as development continues
throughout the various processes of
research and invention. and let US
hope that this development may con-
tinue with moving pictures.

The Rubaiyat of Jake Beans

The Rubaiyat Of Jake Beans.
Jake Beans clerked in the general
store
In Padunk town, he's there no more;
He ran away, the rowing scamp,
And went TO work in a lumber camp.
He was stout of heart and strong OF
limb.
And the future sure looked bright to
him
Till the boss approached one winters
And these words to Jake Beans old
say
It's not your muscle that counts, you
know,
At job like this it's brains that show.
The worth of a man in sun or fog
The where and the how TO skid a log.
Remember, it's brains 1 look to
Then he strobe off with his hands in
his jeans.
Well Jake somehow felt all forlorn,
His ps'ed felt proud since he was
born,
OF the way he was built, broad and
firm.
1t wasn't a wonder that Jake did
Squirm;
Not muscle" he unused. but lot
To lift an ak and tighten the reins."
Jake swallowed a lump that crept in
his throat,
AS he vowed no longer to be the goat.
Then he read all night Of philosophy,
And a different man in the morn was
he.
Now the lumber camp at morn was
gay.
Jake worked none, though he'd lots to
He was overly generous with gift of
Advice had he for the men he saw.
He told them how TO cnop and scale,
But his actual work was of small
avail.
The boss came through on his morn
ing walk,
And stood bewildered at Jake Beans
talk:
He pulled Jake back of the cooking
shack,
To call him down-when a mighty
crack
Poured down on him, a maple tree
Which covered him en-ti-er-ly.
"Oh Jake" he cried, 81 faint die
But Jake used brains and just stood
by;
No help called he from the nearby
crew,
AS formerly was his wont to do;
He just stood quiet as quiet can be,
And pondered and thought Of philos-
ophy.
Canthooks lay hard by and chains,
But he only smiled as he thought of
brains.
The hours sped on in a silent way.
And Jake strobe off from the boss
who lay
Lying PROSTATE on the ground
Mangled, wounded, torn and bound.
When the men arose from the supper
table,
Jake simply limited about the maple;
Then he sat himself at a book unread,
While the crew went out to recover
the dead.
They buried him there meath drift
of snow,
And a slab stuck UP his name to show;
The truth that from this tale one

WASHINGTON. March 1, - Frank
Douglas Scott, a new congressman
from one of the upper Michigan
districts, was seated in the dining
room of the leading hotels in a lum-
bering center up in that state when
three or four lumberjacks shuffed in
for the purpose of having what in the

Juggling saw logs eating a meal en-
titled luncheon! At any rate it was

lumberjacks sat down at the same
