Wrongdoing by
Captain Won Papen

BERLIN, Jan. 1s.-CBy wireless to
SayvilIe "A denial that Captain Franz
Won Papen, recalled German military
attache at Washington, paid money to
individuals in the United States In con-
nection with attempts to blow up muni-
tions factories or bridges, was made

follows:
British press reports state that the
former German military attache at

his possession letters and bank notes,
seized by the British at Falmouth,
which contain evidence that he paid
money to persons connected with eH-
plosions in munitions factories in the
United States, and to other criminals.
The Overseas News agency hears from
competent authorities that these asser-
tions are not correct.
Captain Won Papens letters and bank
books, which were seized in violation of
the safe conduct guaranteed to him, are

do with usual business affairs. Cap
tain Won Papen never paid money to
persons connected with attempts or al

Lippitt Would Send
Army Into Mexico
To Catch Bandits

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-Senator Lip
pitt introduced a resolution in the senate
this afternoon directing the president to
employ armed forces Immediately to pro-
tect the lives of Americans in Mexico.
He said he was prompted TO offer it be-
cause he had read a story that the United
States would seek an agreement with the
South and Central American countries
heretofore consulted before taking any
radical steps.
The same story. he said, had been de-
MED in official circles earlier in the day,
and when Mr.. Lippitt asked how long
1t would take the United States to get
the permission of Argentine, Brazil,
Chile, Uruguay, Bolivia and Guatemala
to protect the lives of its citizens In
Mexico the chairman of the foreign re-
lations committee retorted the question
did not deserve an answer.
American lives are being destroyed in
Mexico daily" Senator Lippitt said IF
I had been president last week when the
report of the killing of American citizens
reached Washington another sun would
not have set on the Sierra Mamre noun
tains before American soldiers would be
hot on the trail of the murdereIH. such
q doctrine would meet a responsive note
in the hearts of the American poople.''

really thrsting for war in Mexico. but
1 do not believe that is the sentiment of
the sensible, conservative and patriotic
senator's Of the minority. The president

toxicated condition of the three occu
pants of an automobile one woman is
in the Brattleboro hospital with little

seriously by the authorities at Brat
