vON BERN ORFF MUST SEPARATE
 VON lCEL PAPERS
German Ambassador to Re ceive Only Documents
 That Are Official

Washington, April 27-Secretary Lansing has decided to give to Count von Bernstorff, the German Am bassa- kdor, only those documents which the Ambassador identifies as "officiaT'' from among the papers taken from the raided New York office of Wolf von Igel of the German Embassy staff, who was arrested by Departmen of Justice agents in connection with the plot to destroy the Welland Can- all
 It was learned today that the Sec retary of State is determined in the stand he has taken not to authorize the return of any of these papers until and unless they are identified by the Ambassador as being '.ofhcia1." which means that they must be claim ed as Elm bassy records. Officials of sthe government will not attempt to identify any papers as official. The Identification must be made by the Am bassador or someone designated to represent his Embassy. Papers not Identified as official will be held by the government. Should some documents be claimed as official. such, identi1ca- ton is expected to prove embarrass- ing to the Elm bassy because it would be regarded as linking the Embassy with Knowledge of illegal activities covered by these particular docu- ments.
 The fact that the Administration is determined to make an issue over the return of the papers is likely to precipitate a stiff diplomatic row un- less the German Ambassador should withdraw his demand for the return of all the von IgeI papers. There had been intimations during the past few days that this government might be willing to permit the return of all the won Ige1 documents. The fact that only such documents as Count von Bernstorff may identify as '.ofn- ciaP' may be claimed indicates that the Administration has decided to take a firm stand in the matter.
 It became evident today that this government is prepared to resist Count von Bernstorff's claim that all papers belonging to diplomatic agents are immune from seizure.
 An interesting precedent that may, and probably will, be invoked during the consideration of the claims made on behalf of the German Elm nbassy for the return of the papers was discov- cred today. The Prussian govern ment more than a century ago virtua- lily acquiesced in the abstraction of American diplomatic papers by Brit ish diplomats who had been sent to Berlin during the American Revolu- ton. These papers were returned, British Minister in Berlin and sent to London.

Prussia, despite the fact that these
 papers were taken by the diplomatic
 representative of g nation with which
 the American tcoIonists were then at
 war, Prussia having recognized the
 belligerency of the co1onistss did not
 demand the recall of the British Min ister who was charged with having
 planned and perfected the seizure. The United States government has
 never forgotten this rifiing of an American diplomatic agents fred
 box in Berlin and is expected to
 resort to this, among other precedents,
 in it's treatment of the diplomatic as- pect of the von Igel case.
 Count Bernstorff left for Washington yesterday afternoon and it was said, here that Secretary Lansing might of fer him an opportunity to-day of 1n- specting the mass of documents. The officials no longer take se- riously von Igel's contention that the suite he occupied on the 25th floor of 60 Wall Street is or was at any time "a branch of the German Embassy.3 It has now been proved that the off, ces were rented by von Igel for an advertising agency and that von IgeI himself as an advertising agent.
 The Federal Grand Jury, which is continuing the investigation into aIleg-1 ed German bomb manufacturing plots. strikes at intuition plants and steam ship piers and the expenditure by Franz Fintelen and other German se- cret agents of money in propaganda work, had before it yesterday after noon three Hoboken truckmen-E. Hi- ney, Frederick Rittman and Frederick Conway. They were interrogated by Assistant United States District Attor- ney Wood regarding their employment by Dr. Walter T. Scheele, the chemist who operated the factory of the New Jersey Agricultural Chemical Company at Twelfth and Clinton Streets, Ho- boken.
 MT. Wood said yesterday that among the papers found in von Igel's office were some which illuminated evidence already in possession of tho Govern ment concerning the first Welland Ca nal plot, These papers indicate. he added, that the plot to destroy the ca nal did not necessitate an expenditure of more than $1,0oO, and out of this came the money used to purchase 300 pounds of dynamite, and to pay the ex- penses of the men sent to Niagara Falls, N. Y.

ANOTHER LARGE WESTINGHOUSE
 PLANT CLOSES
Fifteen Hundred More Workers Added to Un-
 employed List

Pittsburgh. April 27-Fifteen hun dred workers were added to the Vest inghouse unemployed today at the Shadyside plant of the Westinghouse Electrical & Manufacturing Co.,, which was closned to prevent 4tannoyance to employees This virtually completes the tie-up of the various factories where a proportion of workmen in each struck for an eight-hour day.
 Three foreign strikers were arrested at Wilmerden and fined for disorderly conduct. With the exception of the pickets, few strikers were on the streets of East Pittsburgh. The num- Der of guards at the electric plant was increased and it was said that 100 ad- ditional railroad officers were on the way from the east. Seven commits sary cars were placed on a side track at the works.
 Agents from factories in other cities are busy among the strikers and many of them already have left the Turtle Creek Valley.

and he saw that both Hauck and Brokaw
were in the rear, and that they were
using staffs in their toll upward, and did
not carry rifles. The remaining seven
were armed, and were headed by Lang
don, who was fifteen or twenty yards
ahead Of his companions. David made
up his mind quickly to take Langdon
first, and to follow up with the others who
carried rifles. Hauck and Brokaw, un-
armed with guns, were the least danger
Gus just at present. He would get Brokaw
with his fifth shot--the sixth if he made
a miss with the fifth.
A thin strip Of shale marked his hum
dred-yard dead-line, and the instant
Langdon set his foot on this David fired.
A fierce yell of defiance rang from Da-
vid's lips as Langdon whirled in his
tracks and pitched down among the men
behind him. He rose up boldly from be-
hind his rock and fred again. In that
huddled and astonished mass he could
not miss. A shrek came up to. him. He
fired third time, and he heard a joyous
cry of triumph beside him as their enc
mics rushed for safety toward the dip
from which they had just climbed.
A fourth shot, and he picked out
Brokaw. Twice he missed. His gun
was empty when Brokaw lunged out of
view. Langdon remained an inanimate
blotch on the strip of shale. A few steps
below him was second body. A third
man was dragging himself on hands and
knees over the crest Of the coulee.
Three-with six shots! And he had
missed Brokaw! Inwardly David groaned
as he caught the girl by an arm and hur-
ried with her into the cabin, followed by
Baree.
THEY were not moment too soon.
From over the edge of the coulee came
fusillade of shots from the heavy-caliber
guns of the mountain men that sent out
sparks of fire from the rock.

ridges into the chamber of Nisikoos'
rifle David looked about the cabin. In

doubt or indecision.
Marge led Tara into the cabin.
Baree had crept up beside David, and lay
fiat on the ground close to the rock, A
moment or two later the girl reappeared,
ran across the narrow open space to
David, and crouched down beside him.
"You must go into the cabin, Marge, :"
he demonstrated.
"I'm going to stay with you, Sakewa-
win."
HER face was no longer white. Her eyes
shone as she looked at him; and-she
smiled. A child! His heart rose chol:-
ingty in his throat. Her face was close
to his, and she whispered:
LAST night | kissed you, Sakewawin.
| thought you were dying. Before you |
have kissed Nisikoos; never any one else.
Why did she say that, with that won-
derful glow in her eyes? Was it the
death climbing up the mountain? Was
it because she wanted him to know
before that? A child!
She whispered again:
"And you-have never kissed me,
Sakewawin. Why"
His fingers relinquished their grip on
the rifle. Slowly he drew her to him,
until her head lay against his breast,
her shining eyes and parted lips turned
up to him, and he kissed her on the
mouth, not once but dozen times, and
then held her back from him and looked
into her face.

Baree was growing. David peered
down the slope.
"They are coming!" he said. @Marge,
you must creep back to the cabin!'

this-with Baree."
She snuggled herself down against the
rock, and again David peered from his
ambush. Their pursuers were well over
the crest Of the dip, and he counted
nine. They were advancing in group,

A SPLINTERING crash sent him reel
ing to the center of the cabin with
Marge in his arms, /, The crash had come
simultaneously with the report of rifle,
and both saw where the bullet had entered
through the door six inches above Da-
vid's head, carrying splinter as large
as his arm with it. He had not thought
of the door. 1t was the cabins one vul-
nerable point, and he sprang out Of lire
with it as second bullet crashed through
and buried itself in the wall.
In the log walls were the open chinks

David sprang to one of these apertures,
wide enough to let the barrel of his rife

from which the two shots had come He
was in time to catch movement among
the rocks on the side of the mountain a
couple of hundred yards away, as third
shot tore its way through the door,
glanced from the steel top Of the stove,
and struck two feet over Tara's back.
There were two men up there among
the rocks, and their first shots were fol-
lowed by steady bombardment that
fairly riddled the door. David could see
their heads and shoulders and the gleam
and faint puffs of their rifles; but he held
his fire. Where were the other four, he

across the door, and stood with her back
against it. There was no window, and
the closing of the door had shut out most
Of the light. He knew that she was
breathing quickly, and the wonderful
light that had come into her eyes was still
glowing at him in the half gloom.
1t gave him fresh confidence to see her
standing like that, looking at him in that
way. telling him without words that a
thing had come into her life which had

- girls words OF warning than he was
on his feet. And now, when he saw
~ her, he thanked God that his head
was clear and that he could fight. Even
yesterday, when she had stood before the
fighting bears and he had fought Brokaw,
she had not been winter than she was
now. Her face told him of their danger
before he had seen it with his own eyes:
it told him their peril was appallingly
near, and there was no chance of escap-
ing it. He saw, for the first time, that
his bed on the ground had been close to
the wall of an old cabin which was in
little dip in the face of the mountain.
Before he could take in more, or dis
cover visible sign Of their enemies,
Marge had caught his hand and was
drawing him to the end of the shack.
She did not speak as she pointed down
ward. At the edge Of the valley, just
beginning the ascent, were eight or ten
men, and at that distance it was not
difficult to make out Hauck and Bro
kaw.
David could not determine their exact
number, for as he looked they were already
disappearing under the face of lower
dip in the mountain. They were not
more than four or five hundred yards
away. 1t would take them a matter OF
twenty minutes to make the ascent to
the cabin.
He looked at Marge. Despairingly she
pointed to the mountain behind them
For quarter of mile it was sheer wall
of red sandstone. Their one way of
flight lay downward, practically into the
faces of their enemies.

a voice dead with hopelessness. "I kept

A flash Of fire leaped into her eyes.
"You mean"

He thrust hand into his pocket and
drew forth the cartridges she had given
him. aThirty-twos! And only eleven

"At a hundred and fifty yards it's
good for man., he said. "You get the
beasts and the pack inside, Marge. I'm
going to take dilemma by the horns

THIS FISH IS A BUTCHER.
And He Carries His Saw In His Ugly
Mouth at All Times.


Moral of this fish story is: The value
of anything depends on how it is used.
A safety match used to light beacon
lamp and another match used to set
fire to a city have widely separated
ranks in the realm of utility. On the
same principle of values the sawfish
belongs near the bottom rank in the
ocean kingdom.
His saw, the presence of which you
may have guessed already, consists of
a long, beaklile mouth decorated with
many sharp firm spines. 1t varies in
length with the size Of the fish, some
monsters twenty feet long carrying
saws six feet long and foot wide.
A saw. like match, varies in value
according to the way it is used. That's
where the sawfish makes a fZzle of
life. Think how much good he could
accomplish by using his saw on har-
bors choked up with weeds, channels
blocked with logs and lagoons crowded
with trees and underground.
Instead of a carpenter, road build.

and that quite recklessly and cuts up
smaller fish into steaks and sausage;

Difficult to Raise Them.
Aristocrats of the flower kingdom
and probably the least understood.
You hear them called parasites, which
is only one of the common mistakes
made about the orchid. You see a
hundred different shapes and dozen
different colors grouped together, each
shape perhaps distinct family and
each with Il separate name.
In the first place, orchids are not
parasites. A parasitical plant Is one
which gets nourishment from another
plant. Certain orchids live on trees
but they get their food and drink from
the air by means of aerial roots. We
call them epiphytes. Other orchids
get their nourishment directly from
he ground. They're called terrestrial
orchids.
People don't understand, either,
why orchids cost so much They fail
70 see why a tiny plant is sold for,
iay. $1,000. If they realized that rare
orchids may have cost a long trip
into tropical jungle to obtain and
10 raise plant from the seed, with
patient care and treatment, they could
see why these flowers remain in the
aristocratic class

stand all the details Of his art. but the
flower lover can easily learn to dis
