A more perfect day for football
could not have been found. Scarcely
a breath of air was stirring, there
was warming sun overhead TO
comfort spectators and a crispness in
the air to prevent the players suffer
ing from heat Yielding to the call
OF the weather and the prospect of
brilliant game, 1900 persons turned
out for the fray. This is declared by
the university officials to be the larg-
est crowd ever present at an athletic
contest of any kind In Oklahoma. The
section Of the new concrete grand
stand, which will accommodate 4,5OO
persons, was jammed half an hour
before the game started and at the
kickoff the overflow Of some 5000
persons had walled in the gridiron on
all four sides. Several times 1t be-
came necessary to stop the game
while officials and cadets cleared the
field of hundreds who had encroach-
ed beyond the side lines.
Delay in starting the game and
these interruptions ate up time so
that the final period was played in a
deep shadow cast by the grandstand
and 1t was nearly dark when the
game finally ended.

ANXIOUS TO SECURE
Won IGLE'S PAPERS
They Throw Light On PrOpa-
ganda Work Of Germans
In America

Washington, April 2l.-The serious.
ness with which the German embassy
regards the seizure of Wolf Won Igel S
papers by secret service agents was
revealed today when Counsellor HAITI
feldt, accompanied by an attorney,
called at the state department and de-
minded their return. This is the fifth
time the documents have been asked
for verbally, and there have been three
written demands.
The papers are said to throw light on
alleged German propaganda work in the
United States. They were taken when
Won lgel, formerly secretary to Cap
tain Franz Won Papen when the lat
ter was German embassy attache, was
arrested in New York in connection
with a government bomb plot probe

New York presumably in the same
connection. Whether the state depart

MUST STOP CAMPAIGN
PENDING ADJUSTMENT
Insists Germany Halt ActiVt
ties Until Agreement Is
Reached
By Robert J. Bender

(Onlted Press staff Correspondent
Washington, April 2l.-AmericA in
its note to Berlin demands an immedi-
ate stop to the present submarine cam
paign against merchantmen. When this
is halted the way will be clear to set
tie the question of how submarines may
proceed against commerce without fur
ther endlngering friendly relations be-
tween the United States and Germany.
This was made clear today in point
ing out that the United States will not
be satisfied with assurances that Ger
many will operate within the bounds
previosuly drawn-namely, adequate
warning to all doomed ships and as
sured safety for the passengers
Germany's present campaign must be
discontinued until the two governments
can decide what is practicable and le-
gal in the way of conducting subma-
rine operations against enemy com
merce. BY the term immediate in
his note, the president meant within a
time sufficient for the submarine com
manders to be notified to cease their
activities.
Grave danger now lies in a possible
attack upon 4 neutral vessel, particu-
larly if there chances to be an Ameri-
can aboard In such an event Germany
must show that the submarine COM
mander failed to receive his orders to
quit, or a break would be practic Ally
automatic.

LEE JEANS IS BOUND
OVER TO GRAND Jury
UNDER $1,000 BONDS
Hearing Held Today In Justice
Court In Turner Stabbing
Affair

Lee Jeans was bound over to await
the action of the grand jury in the
Turner justice court this morning un-
der $1,000 bonds for his part in the re-
cent fight in Turner which took place
during an entertainment given by the
band. Robert Hunsaker was badly cut
with knife during the melee when the
city council and some of the band boys
got mixed up in free for all rough and
tumble.
The hearing was conducted before
justice Of the Peace H. l.. Earl. The de-
fense presented no witnesses in their
own behalf though a few Of the state g
witnesses were called to the stand by
the defense to bring out some particular
points in the testimony. Justice Ea
wanted to fix Jeans bond at $4,000
but Jeans has been out under 81 900
bonds and District Attorney Rngo was
satisfied with this amount. Justice Earl
was inclined to raise the amount, how
ever, in spite Of the opinions Of the
district attorney and for a few mo.
ments all Of the attorneys in the case
were arguing against the court
DR.. G. II. Robertson was the first
witness called for the state and he told
Of the extent Of Hunsaker's wounds.
The one in the abdomen, he said, was
the only serious cut l.. NJ. Webb was
the next witness called by the state.

VILLA BANDITS KILL
ZOO CARRANZISTAS
This Is UncOnfrmed Rumor---
Gold Basis To Be Estab-
Ished May |
By E. II. Conkle.

Omitted Press staff correspondent
FL Paso, Texas, April 2l.-An un-
confirmed report from mining sources
stated today that 200 Carranzistas had
been killed in an attack by Canuto
Reyes and his Villistas upon de facto
troops under General Theveno between
Torreon and Saltillo. General Gavira
discredited the story.
"McXico for MeXicans," is believed
to be the object Of again making pub
lie the order deporting all foreigners
antagonistic to the de facto govern
mcnt.
Consul Garcia today made known to
the public a message from General Al
varo Obregon, Mexican war minister,
expressing a hope that "our national
and international difficulties will soon
be oversome."
Garcia also onnounced that the gov
ernment would establish gold basis in
the Juarez custom house May l. If i'm
porters want gold and sell goods for
deprecated silver and paper money, it's
importation will stop if the order is put
into execution.
Some charge that the de facto regime
is trying to placate the Mexican's dis
satisfaction with economic and internal
conditions by opposing the American
expedition Anti.foreign orders are
similarly interpreted. It was report
ed that famine had caused much recent
banditry.

Germany can go no further in her submarine conces-

But the naval head said later in the course of the in
terview: "We have no desire for break with the

bring it about despite desire to push vigorously
submarine warfare.
MANY of our submarines have returned from round

ships going between England and America but was
touched although knew everyone was carrying war
munitions for the allies
1--WE have definitely agreed to warn the crews and pas
sengers Of passenger liners We have lived up to that
promise in every way but cannot be asked to regard
freight ships in the same manner

have destroyed hundreds of thousands of tons of enemy
ships since the beginning of the submarine war except
for promises gave the United States but cannot
go further
Give months more will see what we can do to British
shipping The ring around the British isles will grow
tighter and tighter Then we will see whether England
will still maintain that she cannot make peace until Ger
many is destroyed The allies could have had peace long
ago but they still cling to the idea of starving Germany
into submission The longer they cling to this idea the

her mastership of the seas, her rule of

"Germany is at war with England.

He said he saw the crowd mixed to-

Jeans fighting and that he could tell
when the knife blows were struck.
From the evidence brought out by the
witness it appeared that Jeans was the
center Of sort Of round robin tour

ness, began fighting with Ollie Knight
and Knight struck the first blow.
Jeans put Knight out of commission
and then Clyde Kelly, James Kelly ami
Robert Hunsaker were taken on by
Jeans.
The defense attempted to show that
Jeans was attacked by overwhelming
numbers but the states witnesses held
that the men fought with Jeans, one at
a time as nearly as they could tell.

French Claim to Have Made

Fierce Fighting Today

Paris, April 21,-Following a heavy
artillery bombardment, the Germans
during the night powerfully attacked
ON front of more than one mile be-
tween Thiaumont and the lake near
Vaux, the French official statement
said today. South of Fort Douaumont
the Germans entered french lines but
later were turned out by counte- at
tacks. The French made prisoners of a
number of Teutons and seized two quick
firing guns which had been brought
forward in the advance.
Not only were the Germans repulsed
heavily, said the war office, but in ad-
dition the French advanced their lines
on both sides of the Meuse in a renewal
of fighting there.
In the region of Dead Man s hill on
the west bank French troops captured a
trench at the edge of Caurett wood TAX
ing prisoners four officers and $50 men.
On the east bank the French progressed
south of Haudromont, rescuing several
wounded Frenchmen who were lying on
