German Embassy Anxious for
Return Of Seized Documents

Washington, ID. c. -- Papers seized
in New York by the department of
Justice from Wolfe Won Igel, former
secretary to Captain Franz Won Papen,
recalled German military attache, will
not be restored to the German embassy
until Count Won Bernstorff distin-
guishes between the official and per-
sonal matter in the documents.
1t was not believed that the German
embassy would agree TO this procedure,
contending there is no authority for
the removal of papers of any kind
from the person or possession OF a
diplomatic agent. Embassy officials
are disturbed at the idea that the de-
partment of Justice intends to keep
Photographic copies of the papers, and
it was said that Count Won Bernstorff
would demand not only the originals,
plates and catalogue of the documents
which is understood to have been made
by the department of Justice. Am
bassador Won Bernstorff is understood
to be awaiting instructions from Ber-
lin.
Won Igel's immunity from prosecu-
tion as an employe Of the German en-
bassy was not accepted by diplomatic
officials. Immunity, it was said, was
interpreted as extending only to the
ambassador and his household.

Irrigon -- Not since the collapse of
the Irrigon irrigation project in 1907
have the people Of this little town
been able to look into the future with
the certainty Of final prosperous out
come as today. When the government
took the project over few years ago
and began the great cement-lined ditch
there was feeling of jubilation;
when the ditch was finished there was
rejoicing. But until the present time
there has usually been prospect Of
procrastination and delay, which pros
poets proved realities. Hence the lit
tie town practically stood still.
Now, however, all is changed. The
The government is about to take
charge of the project and handle the
water distribution, there is much more
water than will be used for years to
come, landowners are jubilant and are
going ahead planting and seeding as
never before. Buyers have just closed
the largest purchase ever made here,
240 acres of raw land few miles west
of Irrigon. The price paid was well
over $4,000. The new owners are
now busily at work with large force
seeding the tract to alfalfa. Past
seedlings of the kind here have return
ed two crops the first year, showing
that there is no quicker alfalfa land in
the country than at this beautiful spot
on the banks of the majestic Columbia.
Another sale was made whereby 0te
Henkle, now of Crook county, sold 80
acres of his homestead south of town.
Improvements are going forward on
this tract also.

Coos Bay Road Allowed.

Washington, D. C.--Authority has
been granted by the superintendent Of
the Coast Guard Service for the con-
struction of road from the Coos Bay
station, along the edge Of the bluff for
a distance of three miles overlooking
the south entrance to Coos Bay. The
construction Of this road was urged by
the North Bend chamber Of commerce,
it being their contention that the road
is necessary for the transportation of
lifesaving apparatus in case Of a
wreck in the vicinity.
It is pointed out that had there been
such road when the Santa Clara was
wrecked recently, the Coast Guard
might have saved the lives Of those
who perished because of the inability
to reach the wreck promptly.

FRESH REVOLUTION
BREWING in MEXICO
New Movement, Presumably by Felix Diaz Gives Deer
Concern to Washington Cabinet Discusses Situa-
hon but Awaits Report of General Scott.

Washington, d. While immedi.
ate interest centere naturally In the
situation ar TO the troops in Mexico,
there were renewed Indications about
the State department Saturday that q
wholly different aspect Of the Mexican
problem was causing concern. That IL
the movement supposedly headed by
Felix Diaz, nephew Of the former
Mexican dictator, for new revolution
against the dc facto government.
None Of the information upon which
the uneasiness rests has been disclosed.
1t 10 known, however, that several
Mexicans In the United States are be-
ing closely watched and 1t seems possi-
Bile that some Of the anti-American
feeling In Chihuahua state, which has
met the troops pursuing Villa, may be
attributed TO this movement.
The Diaz government, 1t is said, has
the backing of various elements of
Mexicans, both In Mexico and this
country. As viewed by the State de-
partment, it is understood the activi-
ties Of these persons are the more
dangerous because they are wealthy,
while the de facto government is in
volved in snarl Of financial compli-
cations which would be hard to over
come even in times Of complete peace.

Carranza Must Show Ability TO
Restore and Keep Order.
ENTIRE BANDIT AREA WILL Be POu(fD
Plan Of .Disposlng Rescue Forces
Approved Funston viii Have
Free Hand in Campaign,

Washington, ID. c. Behind the for
NAL announcement Sunday that Presi-
dent Wilson had approved plan OF
re-disposition Of the American troops
in Mexico, there was plain intima-
tion that the Washington government
had determined to maintain military
status quo beyond the border until the
Mexican do facto government had DEM
onstrated its ability 10 capture or
crush villa and his adhcrents and pre-
vent repetitions Of the Columbus raid.
In the interim 1t is understood the
American troops will be 30 placed as
TO safeguard the border towns by vir-
tually policing the area south Of the
line where General Carranza has been
unable to check bandit operations.
Secretary Barker announced the ap-
proval of the re-disposition plan after
consulting with the President over a
joint report submitted by Major Gem
eral Funston and Major General Scott,
chief Of staff, In conference on the
border. The plan was proposed by
General Funston and concurred In by
General Scott.
The secretary announced the admin
istration's decision as follows:
General Funston has recommended
re-dispositIon Of the forces In Mexi-
co for the purpose Of recuperation and
pending opportunities for further CO.
operation with the forces OF the dc
facto government In Mexico. The rec
ommendation has been approved and
its execution left 10 his discretion.
Later the secretary dictated the fol-
lowing:
1.-THE statement have made indi-
Gates nothing whatever on the subject
OF when the American troops will be
withdraw from Mexico. The whole
subject Of withdrawal of the forces is
under arrangement and negotiations by
the State department.
He said positively that no regiments
had been ordered to the border and
that no such order was in contempla-
tion.
The new military plan leaves the
pursuit of Villa at standstill, but
frees General Funston's hands to make
the position Of the forces in Mexico
secure by grouping them In posts Of
such strength as to protect them from
attack. 1t will also serve as plain
warning to General Carranza that he
must bend every effort toward secur-
ing complete control of the territory
south of the most advanced American
post If he hopes to have the troops re-
called.
