TAKE UP Won |GEL
CASE TOMORROW
Developments Expected When
German Ambassador Confers
With Secretary Lansing.

important developments in the case
of Wolf Won Igel, former secretary to
Capt. Franz Won Papen, recalled Ger
man military attache, are looked for
tomorrow afternoon, when Count Won
Bernstorff, the German ambassador. has
conference with Secretary Lansing.
Count Won Bernstorff is in New York,
and it Is said that his visit may have
something to do with the Won lgel
case, as Won Igel maintained an office
in New York for many months. and it
was there that the Department OF JUS
tice officials obtained the much dis
cussed papers. which led to the indict-
ment of Won Igel.
Just what course the German ambas-
sador will pursue in the matter of the
papers is problematical 1t has been
said he will demand all the papers
seized, on the ground that they are the
property of the German government
and contend that the Department Of
Justice officials erred in entering Won
Igers office and obtaining them On
the other hand, it has been as authen-
tically said that Count Won Bernstorf
will look over the papers and select
those which belong to the German gov
ernment. This latter course will be fol-
lowed it is said. so that II there Is any
thing of criminal nature in the papers
the German ambassador can deny them,
thus clearing his government of any

Reports reached here tonight that
serious rioting had broken out in

impossible to confirm.

Cabinet May Take It Up.

If Secretary Lansing does not take
up the matter with President Wilson
Immediately after his conference with
the German ambassador, the matter
will be thrashed out at the cabinet
meeting Tuesday.
The indictments found against Won
lyle are for acts committed during the
months of August and September, 1914.
This was long before the German en-
bassy made application for the regis
tration of Won lyle as a member of it's
diplomatic staff. The question of i'm
munity from arrest as an attache of the
German embassy would not apply, in
the opinion of officials of the Depart
ment of Justice, to acts committed be-
fore he was a recognized member of the
embassy staff. no matter what the as
poets of his status subsequently.

Status of Citizens of State.

First The Chamberlain amendment
to the Constitution. which. without dis
turbing national control of the District
through Congress, gives to residents of
the District the status of citizens of a
state for the purpose of representation
in the Senate House and electoral COL
lege.
Second 1t recommends an amend
ment of the Chamberlain amendment by
the insertion of words which shall

in the courts of the United States
under provisions of Article III, sec
ton ?.
Third Finally. if Congress finds it.
self unwilling to grant at this time di-
rectly through the Constitution ma
tional representation to the District.
the report urges that the Constitution
be amended SO as to give to Congress
the power to grant this representation
when. in it's judgment. the conditions
emitting the District to this status and
this representation have been met.
Alternative Proposition.
This alternative proposition is to
amend the Constitution of the United
States by inserting at the end of sec
tion 3. Article ". the following words:
The Congress shall have power to

state the residents of the District con-
stituting the seat of the government Of

Explanation Is offered.

EXPLANATION Is Offered.
American army officers here, while re-
fusfng to express a definite opinion on
the troop movement, pointed out that
1t did not necessarily mean that the
idea Of recalling the Pershing expedi-
tion had been abandoned. One officer
offered this as a possible explanations:
I'VE all realize that if the American
troops begin to withdraw it may excite
the various bands of Villa followers
who are still roaming about northern
Mexico and who will conclude that the
Americans are leaving because they
have been defeated This may easily
incite them to attacks on our line OF
communications, which is very poorly
protected. The additional troops sent
into Mexico may be merely intended as
a guard for our communications in the
event of withdrawal
Believe Withdrawal Possible.
There Is little question that officers
here generally believe withdrawal is
possible. Some of them have privately
expressed the opinion that Gen. Per-
shing already has taken the prelimi-
nary steps in the concentration OF his
columns at three or four points. move
which will enable him to evacuate the
more dangerous pointA of occupation
with a minimum delay after he receives
orders from Washington.
Renewed anxiety was shown here to-
day over the grave conditions in Mex

MEANS TO AVOID WAR
Senator Lewis Urges Defensive Al
lance for All the
Americas.

ATLANTA. Ga. April GA de-
fensive alliance of all countries of the
western hemisphere was proposed by
Senator Lewis of Illinois, speaking to-
night before the lawyers of Georgia,
as the only means by which the United
States could avoid early conflict with
countries of Europe and Asia.
such an alliance must carry with it
new doctrine of international law"
said the senator. 'ordaining that any
country violating the fundamental
rights of the republican form of gov
ernment would be punished by the
combined resentment Of the whole
western hemisphere. This punishment
need only take the form of boycott
of the commercial privileges Which
those assailing countries must seek
from the United States"
Possibilities Of Future.
II the central powers were victorious
in the present war. Senator Lewis de-
clared. the United States would be COM
PEELED to oppose the force of imperjal
monarchy by consolidated form of
government which would transform our
states into Political divisions. Then would
follow efforts on the part of this country
to arrange treaties of defense with Eu-
ropean powers against feared invasion by
other European powers. If the allies
won. he said the doctrine of the sov-
ereignty of small nations would again
be asserted and South and Central Amer
| ican governments would seek aid from
abroad to their resistance against our
Monroe doctrine.

1t is. understood here the report Of
the submarine commander declares
the crew deserted the captain of the
Rowanmore because OF his actions
and that he was finally compelled to
row alone when the crew took to the
boats. This IL the reason he was
saved on the submarine. 1t In denied
