Mr.. Lockhart NaturaIized

James Lockhart, a rancher north
east EAST Oh ordway, was granted natural
iZatlon papers in United States dis
trict court in Denver few days ago
after exercising for fifty-two years ali
the rights of citizenship. Mr.. Lock-
mart, native of Ireland, assumed
that he was citizen because of nat
uralization papers believed to have
Deeh issued to his father before he
naa reached his majority. He had
voted at every presidential election
since the civil war of which he is a
veteran, held commission in the
united States army, served as a dele
gate to the Republican national con-
vention; served as sheriff of Gibson
county, Indiana, and has taken an ac-
tive part in politics for many years.
The question of his citizenship
arose when he filed on government
land in this county and it was learn
ed that he was not native born and
that no record was available to show
that his father had become natural
ized.

POSSIBILITIES OF RUPTURE
Procedure That May Be Followed BY
U. S. AS Given Out BY
High Authority.

Washington.-tirst-The president
will probably read a message to Con
gress reviewing the whole situation
from the Lusitania case down to the
present time, The president will no
doubt refer to the strict accountable
ity" and deliberately unfriendly"
phrases OF his earlier notes and may
announce his conviction that because
Of Gcrmany's violation Of American
rights diplomatic relations should be
severed.
Second-Ambassador Won Bernstorff
may be handed his passports and Am
bassador Gerard may be recalled from
Berlin.
Third--A note would be dispatched
to Berlin explaining to the German
government why this action was
taken.
More conservative opinion, however,
is that the president will convey to
Congress his opinion that the evidence
in the submarine situation justifies a
break in diplomatic relations.
This latter course would leave a
loophola for an eleventh hour settle.
ment of the controversy with Cor
many. 1t would give the German gov
ernment an opportunity to make con-
cessions that would avert a break.

New York.-Wolfe Won Igel will not
be released from custody and only a
part of the documents seized at the
time of his arrest on a charge OF be.
ing implicated in a plot to destroy the
Welland canal will re returned to the
German embassy. United States Attor-
ney Marshall declares.
81 have not considered the release
Of Won lgel," Mr.. Marshall continued.
1.-THE legality of his arrest was def
nitely settled, SO far as my office Is
concerned.
FOLLOWING Won Igel's arrest the pro-
test Of the German ambassador was
made to the secretary Of state, and
Mr., Lansing referred the matter to the
attorney generals office. When the
protest reached my office the only
question to be decided was whether
Won lgel was a member OF the Ger.
man ambassadors STAFF on the date Of
the crime charged. 1t was able imme.
diately to report in the negative"

Capt. Franz Won Papen, Recalled Mi.

Others Also Indicted.

New York.-Capt. Franz Won Papen,
recalled military attache to the Ger
mar embassy at Washington. was in
dicted by the federal grand jury here
April II aS the organizer and finan-
cier Of an alleged conspiracy to blow

krupps in the United States and hus-
band of Nine. Johanna Gadski, the
prima donna; Constantine Govani, Al
fred j. Fritzen and another man whose
name has not been revealed.
The indictment, It is understood,
was returned with the sanction of the
department of justice, and Is believed
to establish a precedent. No effort
will be made to have Won Papen
brought here, but the indictment will
be hold in allegiance in case he should
ever return to the United States.
The indictment charges, in addition
to the Welland Canal plot, that it was

Zeppelin Bombs.

Basing his calculation upon the
data which were procured when the
"a made a descent at Luneville,
France, In 1919, Aeronautlcs estimates
that the maximum capacity OF the
modern Zeppelin for carrying high ex-
plosives is about ~ tons. and that
they cannot possibly carry the five
tons which have been claimed for
these ships Of the air.
The some authority estimates that
in crossing the 300 miles from the
German base to the English coast a
ton and a half OF fuel is consumed,
and that II n ton and n half of explo-
sive is carried n static state OF equilib-
rum will have been attained by the
time tho coast Is reached, the lifting
power thereafter being dependent
upon the lifting planes. Explosive
bombs carried by the Zeppelin weigh
1856 pounds and the incendiary bombs
about 20 pounds each.

OPTIMISTIC VIEWS
TAKEN BY GERMANS
N OFFICIAL AT WASHINGTON
COMMENTS ON THE UNITED
STATES NOTE.
IN TOUCH WITH EMBASSY
II 10 Thought President Wilson's De-
mands VIII Be Met BY Germany,
and Decree Of Jan. 7 .Ex-
tended To All Zones.

Observation-Disclosures will meet
the demands In the presidents note
1t was stated by an official in close
touch with the embassy, though she
believes the United States is not jus
tided in making them"
The German view here is that the
note merely demands that Germany
make her submarine policy conform to
the accepted principles Of the interna-
tional law, and not that she abandon
submarine warfare altogether. This,
it is urged, ia all that the president
could possibly ask, and this Germany
is willing to do.
The tension in German quarters
here, which reached a high point with
the announcement that President Will
son would carry his case to Congress,
was greatly relieved with the publica.
ton of the presidents message and
note.
1t is pointed out that on Jan. Z Am
bassador Won Bernstorff handed Score.
tary Lansing a communication an
~nouncing that German submarines In
the Mediterranean would follow the &C
cepted principles Of international law
as hitherto applied to cruiser war
fare, and this vas tacitly agreed to
by the United States, since no protest
was made.
The North Sea, 1t was declared, was
a different matter, as Germany's op-
erations there were measures of re-
prisals against the British blockade.
1t is 10Y declared that Germany will
forego the asserted right to conduct
reprisals against Great Britain and
will extend the decree Of Jan. 7 to all
and all zones Of opera

ATTACKED BY VILLA BANDITS
Two Hundred Carranza Troops En-
Route to Torreon From saItillo
Are Killed.

FL Paso.-Two hundred Carranza
troops en- route TO Torreon from Sal
tillo were killed April 20 when their
train was attacked by Villa bandits OF
Gen. Canuto Reyes command. Unof-
fetal but reliable reports to this eff
feet have reached the border.
The idea that there may have been
some truth in the report Of Villas
death has been abandoned. The state
department was notified by its official
representative here that Villa is In or
near Sombrerete, between so and Is
miles southeast Of Durango City, In
the state of Zacatecas. Sombrerete Is
at the end Of a small railroad which
runs out from Durango City through a
rich mining section.
There Is every indication that the
United States troops will meet with
resistance from the C~arranzista forces
when they attempt to cross into Du-
range. Gen. Gutierrez said at Chi
huahua that the troops Of the de facto
government have been instructed to
prevent the expedition from operating
south Of the Chihuahua state line.
The correspondents who left the Dor,
der three days ago, each man bent
upon identifying Villas body first, re-
turned, an unhappy aggregation. On
arrival at Chihuahua they discovered
that Gen. Luis Gutierrez, the Carranza
commander, thought so little of the
rumor no had not permitted it to be-
come public.
There was an even dozen CORE
spondents in the party, and when they
crossed the international bridge to the
American side just an even dozen
signs were expelled. The Mexican
authorities In Chihuahua had been po-
lite and accommodating, but the pop
ulace had on several occasions stoned
the new gatherers and several riots
were narrowly avoided.
