DEADLOCK OVER
GERMAN PAPERS
Teutonic Ambassador Demands Pa
pers But Refuses to Identify
Them.

Washington, April 28.-The state
department and the German embassy
apparently are at deadlock over the
disposition of papers seized by agents
of the department of justice when
they raided the offices in New York
of Wolfe Won Igel, former secretary
of Captain Won Papen, recalled mill
tary attache of the embassy.
The state department is willing to
return the papers as demanded by the
German ambassador, if he or some
other official of the embassy will
identify them as being official. Count
Won Bernstorff insists upon having all
the documents removed from the Of
flee and refuses to personally identify
any of them unless directed to do so
by his government. He has asked
the Berlin foreign office for instruc-
tions.
Regarding the published report
that the state department has made
possible the capture of Sir Roger
Easement by turning over information
to the British government, Secretary
Lansing said today the department
had no knowledge of Sir Rogers ex-
pedition until after he had been cap
tured. In other official quarters it
was said there was nothing in the
papers take from Won Igel that
would show that such an expedition
was on foot.

SHIPPERS TO
Wait OUTCOME
Are Not Surprised Over Great
Britain's Note on Neutral
Trade.

London, April 28.-The contents
of the British note, replying to the
protest of the American government
against interference by the neutral
trade, which asserts the right of
Great Britain to regulate the admis-
sion to neutral country of goods evil
IDENTIFY destined for the enemy, caused
little surprise in diplomatic and le-
gal circles here, as it's conclusions
had been discounted by recent deci-
sions of the prize tribunals A sum-
mary of the views of the members
of these circles may be expressed as
follows:
/ They do not believe the controversy
will be carried much further during
the progress Of the war as no vital
concessions have been made by either
side since the first note was written.
Therefore, the shippers of detained
cargoes, who can afford the delay
will await the conclusion of the war
to have their cases settled before
to have their cases settled by an in
ternational tribunal, in the belief
that such a court will grant them full
damages. It is expected that the
United States government will soon
send two notes to Great Britain, one
on the detentions of the mails and the
other on the removal of Austrians
and Germans from the steamship
China.
A final effort will be made to settle
the Wilhelmina case without submit
ting the question to Baron Mercy.
The foreign office is expected to sub
NIT to Ambassador Page today its
terms in this case.

BAKER CALLS ON
INDUSTRIES TO
APPROPRIATENESS
Secretary of War Speaks Before Ban
quet of American Newspaper
Association.
SAYS THAT NO PROFITS
MUST BE MADE OFF WAR
Military Mobilization is Easy; Spir-
itual Mobilization Should Be
Constant.
SAYS THAT NO PROFITS
MUST BE MADE OFF WAR

New York, April Mobilization
of American industries and COM
merce as a prime factor of prepared
ness for national defense was urged
here last night by Secretary Baker Of
the war department, in an address
before the annual banquet of the Am
erican Newspaper Publishers asso-
citation. He declared that the neces-
5ity of such a mobilization was one of
the great lessons learned from the
European war.
AT first this question prepared
ness) revolved around mere military
preparation in the narrowest sense"
said Mr. Baker, ''but as the war de-
veloped in Europe we learned that
these things are but a part of pre-
paredness.
Is Threefold.
'Threefold mobilization is neces-
sary in any country. for war and Of
these three elements two are as valu-
able and as vital in time of peace as
in times of conflict.
I'm the first place there must be
arms and soldiers, ships and sailors
and these must be modern and ade-
quate.
"The second mobilization necessity
is that of our industry and commerce.
The war in Europe had been under
way more than year before some
of the countries were able to equip
the men who volunteered for their
army. With all the zeal that their
governments could display, the mo-
bilization of their industries Jagged,
not from unwillingness, but from lack
of forethought. Perhaps no other
lesson of the war in Europe is so i'm
pressive as it's universally.
IF the hour of trial should ever
come to us there must be no war
stock, no war bribes, no war fortune
made out of the national danger, nor
must there be built up in America
any interest which could even be sus-
pected of preparing to profit by the
creation of a national emergency.
|have not the least doubt that every
manufacturing plant in this country
could be so related to central bu-
reau of the government that its spe-
cial usefulness in time of need would
be known in advance.
"The third mobilization that is
necessary is spiritual. In order to
make sacrifices for America we must
i be sure that our stake in the country
justifies it.
"The military mobilization will
take place easily, and will not be
upon a magnificent scale in advance
The industrial and spiritual mobl!l'
zation ought to be constant and as
wide as the country. Both are useful
may indispensable in peaceas well
as in war;"
| Secretary Baker commented on the
work of the press in developing CO.
herence of national thought and &C.
ton. He said that American news
papers were in large sense an lnstl
tuition of representative government
in their broad informative sphere.

CLEANING UP THE YARD.

Are there tin cans, rocks, brush, old
shoes, and other kinds OF useless trash
lying around your house? The latter
part Of the winter is good time TO
clear this stuff away. A halliday will
be enough to gather all the trash and
haul it out of sight OF the house. The
trash can be thrown together in piles
and loaded into a wagon.
This is a small thing. IL will proba-
bly, pay nothing in money directly
but the yard will look nealer, all the
family will he prouder OF the home,
and all who visit the house will respect
q little more the people who live
there A well-kept yard. which takes
but little work, always draws n happy
word or thought from the people who
