The rancher now, with fork or shovel,
HES forth each noon to hunt for
trouble;
The water starts, seems doing fair,
And then, behold, there is none there!
The wind arises, scans the ditch,
And then the weeds begin to pitch; T
Dne comes along both big and hold,
Then many others all take hold;
They fiji the ditch, and pack in tight,
And thus, the water put to flight,
The rancher pulls and piles by turn, Z
And weights them down till they a
will burn. a
And thus he tolls until he'll think
The weeds are all piled on the brink
But'ere he's gone of rods score
The wind whirls i'm as many more.

SUPPORT WILSON AGAINST KAISER.
 TAF7'S ADVICE
As Republican, He Is Against Democrats, But
 First Is an American.

Chicago. April 21.-Former Presi- dent Taf;, in a speech before the Mystic Athletic club this afternoon, urged everybody, regardless of party, to support President Wilson against Germany.
 Personally, as "a Republican" he said, "I trust we may effect a change in the complexion Of the administra- tion next November, but this is neither the time nor the place to indulge in political personalities. If Germany refuses to heed the warning that has been sent her and Count von Berns torff is given his passports, it does not follow of necessity that war will ensue. But if Germany continues her submarine warfare in such way as to drown non-combatant Americans, as in the case of the Lusitania and the Sussex, it is difficult to see how war can be avoided"
 The former president emphasized the necessity for immediate and ade- quate military preparedness.

He had deserted from the United States army to join the Villa squad and only when the star of the "Napolean of the North" began to set did Holmdahl return to the United States.

Then an offer to trade was made-Holmdahrs 1ib- erty for his knowledge of the interior. and of possible hiding places Of the bandit. II was accepted.

Washington Sends for Orig inals of Documents Seiz-
 cd with von Igel.
AMBASSADOR. MAY
 BE ASKED TO GO
Cahinet Considers Situation, and Hints Come from NaSliington That BernStnrh'S Work in Conspiracy
 May Cause His Retirement.

New York, April 2l.-United States District Attorney Marshall annoI,nc- ed this afternoon that acting upon
 instructions from Attorncy-G General Gregory, he had forwarded to Wash ington the originals of the import ant documents seized in the former office of Captain Franz von Papen. a SO Wall street.
 In the federal building, two possi-
 ble interpretations were put upon this move. Either the government decid ed to grant von Rernstorff's demand that the documents be returned to him. or the officials of the state and
 justice departments wish to inspect the originals, so there can be no pos sible doubt of their authenticity. The latter interpretation is correct ac- cording to 2 high official.
 The situation was considered al
 this mnrnnc's session of the cahi- net. dspatches from Washington state. The hint came from the cani- tai that the German ambassado might receive his passports for req
 sons independent of the submarine controversy. This ominous sugges- tion came after at least two members of the cabinet had examined facsm-
 iles Of the seized papers.
 BerDstorii's Letters.
 The nature of the documents seized
 was ascertained today. They are pro- nounced the most important evidence obtained here since a watch on Ger mans in this city has been institut- ed
 The papers, were in three portfolios. Tn addition. there were two books. The most important contained let ters from members of the German embassy in Washington to Captain
 von Papen, Wolf von Igel. and others at the offices in Wall street. Several of these letters were from Ambassa- dor von BernstOrff.
 Another portfolio contained copies
 of letters sent by von Papen, von Igel, and others having headquarters in New York, to the German embassy in Washington.
 The third portfolio contained cor respondence from a German reprcsen- tative in Tokyo, Japan.
 Many Americans Involved. The books seized consisted of an ac- count book and journal of cores pondence. The account contained entries of all payments made by Cap tain von Papen and by von 1gel, since they established offices here. The journal contained names of all per- sons with whom there had been cor respond nee. The names of hundreds of prominent Americans of known Ger man sympathies are in the book. Other pro-Germans throughout the United States and other countries with whom there had been cores pondence, are also listed.
 Whether von Bernstorff will De able to establish that the office room at 60 Wall street is in the name Of the German embassy is not known. IL is said von Igel leased the room Ill his own name. If that is true, 1t Will be almost impossible for the ambas- sador to continue his contention that it is in reality a part of the German embassy and that. therefore, it is inn mune from officials of the United States.

Probably Will Submit Coun- ter Proposition to the
 United States.
DANGER OF BREAK
 NOW DIMINISHING
Germany Expected t0 C0ncede Point Made by |. S. in Order to Obtain Discussion of Demand That Mer-
 chantmen Follow Law.

Washington. April 2l-There were indications today that Germany will reply to the American demand for abandonment of present methods of submarine warfare by making counter proposals.
 The chief contention, which, it is understood, Germany is prepared 50 set forth, is that if submarines are compelled to conform to international law, merchantmen also shall be re- quired to do the same thing.
 This means that if submarines must conform to the rules of visit and search. merchantmen must submit to being visited and searched without using guns for resistance.
 State department officials repeated today that no proposals of any char acter will be received from Germany ir reply to the American ultimatum unless Germany has first declared not only that it intends to abandon pres- ent methods of submarine warfare, but that it has in fact already aban- doned them. TO get around this point it is said, Germany is prepar- ing to make reply which will con- cede tentatively the proposition of this government and yet add to it new matter for discussion, which. in the German view, neither the state department or congress could refuse tf, consider
 Berlin Has Note.
 Ambassador Gerard informed the state department today that he de- livered the American note to the Ger man foreign office yesterday, at 4:3O o'clock. Secretary Lansing could not say whether Mr. Gerard, in communi- eating this. had given any informa- ton as to the state of official or news paper sentiment after delivery of the note or as to the time when reply may be expected.
 It was reiterated today that if the German government suggests exten- sion of the Mediterranean war zone pledges to the British war zone and lives up to them, 9 solution of the difficulty may be found without a break in relations. The United States understands the Mediterranean pledges provide for full compliance with international law, including visit and search. in submarine operations against freight as we'll as passenger vessels.
 The state department was advised that the Norwegin ship [Pergeviken which, it was announced yesterday, was sunk April off Lisbon harbor, struck floating mine. It was first believed the vessel had been tor pedoed. This removed a possible cause for further trouble over the submarine issue.

Carranzistas Concentrate.

El Paso, April 21.-The position of the punitive expedition and it's long line of communication is becoming more perilous every hour. in the opinion of the American military men here.
 Concentration of Carranza troops in Northern and Southern Chihuahua is being pushed forward with more vigor than the de facto government ever displayed in it's hunt for Villa.
 Coincidental with this. shifting of Mexican troops into western Chihua- hua, was the movement tonight of trainloads of endorsements to Co., lumbus from border station. Unusu- al military activity is reported from Columbus, but details are lacking owing to the censorship.
 Four hundred Carranza troops will leave Juarez tomorrow morning for Madeira. General Gavira, the Car ranza commander at JuareZ. said to- night that they were to reinforce the garrison at Madeira. Since Madeira is in no danger of attack, the need of achievements is not quite clear.
 Two thousand CarranZa troops un- der Gen. Luis Herrera have gone into camp at Parral, where the first dem- onstration against the Americans took place.
 Troop trains are in motion be- tween Saltillo and Torreon, carrying soldiers northward.

FRENCH CAPTURE
 MORE TRENCHES : WEST OF MEUSE
Germans Driven at Night From Positions Taken in
 Day.

London, April 21.-The French army at Verdun not only continues to strike, but it is striking hard. On this, the isiXtyfirst day of the great battle, the Paris war office announces the capture of more German trenches and prisoners west of the Mouse and an equally complete winning on the east of the river.
 The expressions of impatience over General Joffre's "overplay" of the waiting strategy are now succeeded by fervent belief that the comman der in-chief is convinced the moment for a concentrated offensive has come. Meanwhile, the Germans are also active. Following terrific bom- bardment on the Haumont-Vaux front, east of the Mouse, the kaiser's troops yesterday launched a. fierce at- tack which enabled them to capture certain trenches near DOuaumOnt. But it was only temporary gain, and under cover of darkness the French assaulted the new German pO' sitions and completely drove then out
 Renewal of activity by the Ger mans, around Ypres is reported in Dutch frontier dispatches. Advices received by the Daily Telegraph from Rotterdam are to the effect that fol- lowing tremendous artillery duels, there has been, in the last two days, severe fighting near the ruined town.
