RUMOR CAUSES ! BREAK IN PRICES STOCKS DROP TO FIVE POINTS Market Strongly Affected by Report
 ing that Count Von Bernstorff
 Would Be Given Passports by Ad-
 ministration.
STOCKS DROP TO FIVE POINTS

NEW YORK, April 14.-It is ru- mored here that the diplomatic rela- tions between the United States and Germany have reached a point where a rupture may occur at any moment. The reply made by President Wilson that Germany's explanation of the torpedoing of the channel steamer Sussex was not satisfactory, has led to the rumor that Count von Bern storff will be handed his passport in the near future and as 6 consequence the stock exchange was considerably affected. The market dropped from two to five points below the closing prices of yesterday, when the ex- change opened this morning and a further slump is looked for.

RAIDER EMDEN COMPLETE WRECK ATTEMPT TO RAISE ABANDONED give up all Hope to Salve
 the Wreck of the Famous German
 Raider which is Ashore at Cocos
 Island.
ATTEMPT TO RAISE ABANDONED

LONDON, April 14.-All hope has been abandoned of salving the Ger man cruiser Emden, which was run ashore and destroyed at Cocos island by the Australian cruiser Sydney in November, 1914. About year ago, during comparatively calm weather. a British warship paid two visits to the wreck of the Emden on North Keeling island and removed some guns and other gear, part of which was handed over to the Australian government.
 A statement by the Australian min ister of the navy, the Hon. J. A. Jen- sen, relates that H. M. A. S. Pro- tector visited the scene of the action in November last. It was found that the stern half of the Emden had com pletely disappeared, and very heavy surf was still breaking over what re- mained of the vessel. The wreckage cast up on the beach gave evidence of terrific seas. The Protector waited a week at the island in hope of get ting chance to board the Emden but this was never for an instant possible. Information was obtained from local residents that since the British warship's second visit no one had been near the wreck, but a steamer from Sydney with motion picture takers on board.

High officials in the administration state there appears to be no way in which the United States can avoid war unless Caranza makes an abject apology for the attack and pays a large indemnity to the relatives of the killed and the wounded, and it is almost assured that he will not do this
 That war is not unexpected is demonstrated by the fact that the war department is planning for op- erations on an extensive scale, al though the officials refuse to either confirm or deny that their plans are aimed at any invasion of, Mexico. It is believed here, however, that the government will send practically the whole of the regular army to the bor- der, and that several states will be called upon to furnish the quota of soldiers for service in the south.
