BERNSTORFF MAY BE
GIVEN HIS PASSPORTS
Continued from PAGE One

considering 1t was shown by the eighth
demand made on the State Department
today for the return of the papers and all
Photographic evidence concerning them, to
the embassy.
Predictions were made freely today that
Ambassador Bernstorff might be given his
passports for reasons independent of the
submarine controversy. One view, how
ever entertained at the Cabinet meeting
was that this country's position in the
matter of submarine warfare should be
kept free from other questions involving
alleged activities Of the German Ambas-
sador It would be unfortunate to have
the latter matter come to head, some
officials believe, while the submarine con-
troversy is pending.
The trap in which some officials profess
to see Bernstorff caught results from his
desire to reclaim the Won Igel papers as
embassy papers. and yet not officially to
admit anything as his own or his en-
bassy's that would prove knowledge on
his own part OF improper activities
It is probable the papers will be re-
turned to him after the State Department
and the Department of Justice have fin
ished with them. A course considered and
understood TO be practically decided on Is
to insist that Count Won BeInstorff iden-
tify those papers which are embassy prop
erty.
If the Embassy should refuse all papers
involving criminal propaganda, this Gov
ernment would be free to use them with
out reservation of any sort. The Won
Igel papers. with the evidence obtained
from Horst Won der Goltz are believed to
show that Captain Won Papen and Cap
tain Boy-Ed were not their own high
court in the United States.
Attention was called to the emphasis
placed in the Won der Goltz statement on
the quashing by Won Bernstorff personally
of the alleged plan TO invade Canada
Chief of Investigation Bielaski or the
Department of Justice, and Assistant At
torney General Warren are in frequent
conference with State Department of
fcials regarding the papers. Warren who
has absolute charge for the Department
of Justice of neutrality cases, was promi-
nent in the investigation. that resulted In
the recall of Austrian Ambassador Dumba.

RERJ,IN. April 21.

BERLIN April 81
President wilson's demand that Ger
many abandon her submarine methods
under penalty Of diplomatic break, was
conveyed to the Kaiser and the people
of Germany today.
The text of the note, which was deliv-
cred to the Foreign office at $3.50 o'clock
last night by Ambassador Gerard was
telegraphed to Grand Army Headquarters
for the Emperor's immediate perusal.
Several hours later 1t was circulated
throughout Germany by the official news
agency for publication in today's papers.
Because today is Good Friday. 1t is vir-
tually impossible to obtain any official
expression from the Foreign Office. 1t
was indicated last night that no comment
would be made until Chancellor Won Beth
mann-Hollweg returns from his Easter
visit to the Kaiser, probably on Monday
The morning papers merely mentioned
that Ambassador Gerard had delivered n
long note to the Foreign Office. The
Vossische Zeitung remarked, editorially
that Germany will make further ex-
animation of the data in the Sussex case
The newspapers display prominently ex-
cerpts from a Chicago newspaper editorial
declaring its opposition to war with Ger
many on the submarine issue.
officials have made 1t known that they
are ready to receive correspondents at
any time, but they must withhold COM
ment for publication until the note has
been thoroughly examined.
There is little likelihood that any re-
ply will be sent to Washington before the
end of next week Since the submarine
controversies with America began, 1t has
been customary to summon into confer
ence heads of the Marine Department and
leading bankers and business men before
a reply was sent to Washington. 1t is
probable that this course will again be
followed and that, in addition, leading
members of the Rechstag will be invited
to express their views.

PROBE OF GERMAN PLOTS
TO BE NATIONAL IN SCOPE

NEW YORK, April 21.-A nationwide
Federal Grand Jury investigation of the
activity of German agents Government
and private, In connection with the bomb
plots, is today in prospect following the
disclosures in the confession of Baron
Horst Won der Goltz, made public in Lon
don.
United states District Attorney Marshall
now has Won der Goltz at Ellis Island,
and is believed to have from him great
deal more information than is contained
in the confession made public by the
British.
This will be at the disposal of Federal
authorities of Buffalo. Chicago, St Paul
and Ell Paso, cities whose consuls from
Germany were identified with the plots,
according to the confession. The plots
concerned the blowing UP of the Welland
Canal locks, railroad terminals, bridges
and other facilities, which, destroyed,
would hamper the shipment of supplies
and men from Canada to the Allies.
All of the originals of the papers seized
in the office of Won Igel are still in the
possession of the United States authori-
ties, and will be used In the Federal Grand
Jury investigation of the plot now under
way.
An order from Attorney General
Gregory is the only ort.r on which Dis
trict Attorney Marshall will give them UP.
with this positive statement today, the
situation surrounding the arrest of Won
Igel and the seizure of his papers took
on a grave international significance. be-
cause of the strenuous efforts of Ambas-
sador Won Bernstorff to have the papers
restored, representing that they are EN-
bassy papers, and therefore inviolate.
Should the papers disclose criminal con-
spiracy, 1t is held that, in view of Won
Bernstorff's request this would show the
German Embassy had official knowledge
of the conspiracy.
Among the papers are code books. They
are being translated.
