BERNSTORFF SEEKS
 V0N IGEL'S RELEASE
Suggests Germany Be Allowed to
 Mete Out His Punishment

Washington, May 20.-In pursu- ance of a policy to eliminate all pos sible causes of friction with the United States the German government now proposes a solution to the Won Igel case the only outstanding matter left in dispute.
 Wolfe Won Igel, ex-secretary to Captain Won Papen, the recalled Ger man military attache, was arrested in New York in connection with plot to blow up the Welland canal and his papers were seized by federal agents and kept despite vigorous protest by Count Won Bernstorff, the German ambassador. Germany contended that Won Igel, as a diplomatic officer, was immune from arrest and his papers immune from seizure.
 The German proposal to settle this acute controversy has now been sug gested by the German ambassador. It is for legal proceedings against Won Igel to be dropped and his papers re- turned on the undorstaL ding that he is recalled and punished in Germany if the evidence shows tnt he was gull ty of an offence.
 How the state department will act on this proposal is not known. The seized papers are understood to con- tain much valuable information affect ing high personages who were in volved in intrigues directed against Germany's enemies.
 More Peace Plans
 Fuurther pleas for the initiation of peace pourparliers continue to reach here from Berlin. Apparently the German censors have instructions to pass all matter bearing on Germanys willingness to discuss peace, and the reports along this line are so persist ent that they are regarded as more or less inspired by the Wilhelmstrasse.
 Coincident with the peace talk comes confidential information to the state department from American con- suls in Germany showing the effect which the British blockade is having on food prices and on the stoppage of necessary materials to Germany.
 The nature of these advices is kept a secret at the state department, but it is understood that they show that the food problem is now becoming a very serious matter for the officials to deal with
 It is learned for example, that the failure of this summers crops in Ger many would be a serious affair. With their customary foresight the German authorities are already dealing with the possibility of this unweIcome con- tingency.
 Coincident with these reports from Germany comes news that Great Brit ain is tightening the blockade more and more with the evident intention of cutting off all sorts of German sup plies more vigorously than before.
 Three German Ships Sunk.
 British submarines which put up for the winter in Russian Baltic ports are now active again and Consul-Gen- eral Skinner reported from London that three German ships had been sunk by submarines. The Blanci, a German steamer, which left Hamburg. was sunk on May IS. The steamer Kelga, which left Ham burg for Stock, holm, met the same fate. Four of the crew were drowned, together with the captain Of the ship. Another German ship with supplies was sunk on May IT.

BOYS SET FIRE TO
 NEW CHURCH ALTAR

Greek Orthodox Church Decorations
 Damaged to the Extent of $1,OOO
 By Bows Seeking Excitement.
 Five altar panels for the Holy Trin- ity Greek Orth odox church on Wash ington street, valued at $2,000 were endangered and three were damaged to the extent of $1,OOO early last eve- ming when two small boys, Vincent Utopski and John Koszyta, set them on fire to see the excitement. The po- lice investigated the affair and ar rested Utopski, who blamed Koszyta. The latter was found hiding under a veranda at his home. Both boys were placed on probation by the court to- day.
 John Berkoff of Philadelphia has the contract for redecorating the altar of the church and the panels are the product of six months work. He had already got two of them into the church when he came out and found three of them in flames. The fire de- partment was called out and saved the panels from complete destruction. The panels were insured at Philadelphia but as soon as they were unlOaded at the local freight yards the insurance lapsed, so the damage is a total loss.
 Utopski finally admitted to the po- lice that he lighted two matches and his companion lighted three to set fire to the ornaments towards which the church parishioners had contrtout- ed so much of their money.

 Branches to Be Studied

New York, May 20.-More than thousand members of the New ork National Guard went into camp today at the Sheepshead Bay Speedway in preparation for the opening this aft ernoon of a military, naval and avia- tion tournament said to be the first of it's kind to be held in this country
 The tournament will continue for a week and the profits derived from it will be applied by a committee ap pointed by the governor and mayor to promote the cause of national defense.
 President Wilson was asked to open the tournament by giving an electric signal from Washington.
 The program for today included the use of army and Red Cross dogs in trailing and repulsing an attack by highwayme a border raid and sur prise attack, the establishment of a base for cavalry, artillery ana infan- try, wall scaling and tent pitching contests and races.
 Aviators participating in a cross country rally are expected to arrive at the speedway this afternoon from distant cities in a competition for prizes for time and distance Among them are Stevenson McGOrdOn and Victor Carlstrom in a flight from Newport News and Frank Burleson, flying from Ithaca, N. Y.
 On Sunday the national guard forces at the speedway will be augmented by several thousand men who will take part in repulsing an imaginary invasion by a foreign army. This is intended as a mobilization experiment to determine how quickly the national guard could be assem bled. Private owners of automobiles were asked to loan 2,O00 cars for this purpose, but only 200 responded
