New York, April 20.--John B.

alleged bomb plots, conferred with
the United States district attorney to-

taken from Won Igel's office by secret

Papen, military attache of the Ger
man embassy. who has been recall
ed to Berlin.
Stanchfield told District Attorney
Marshall the German embassy insists
that von Igers ONCE was a branch Of
the embassy and therefore German
territory and inviolate from police in
vasion. The question who signed the
lease for the office is expected to
settle the matter. If an attache Of
the embassy signed 1t, the German
contention may be valid. Captain
Tauscher, also arrested In connection
with bomb Investigations, pleaded not
guilty today. His counsel made the
usual request for permission to
change the plea II desired. Bond was
fixed at $4,000.

over-shadowed the verdun battle.
The portion referring to the princi-
Piles Of humanity was applauded as
one Of the finest utterances heard in

Newspapers held that German
agents were responsible for at least
part or the presidents Mexican

Now his determination not to yield

London, April 20.--Well informed
officials do not believe that Germany
will yield to the American demand
that II cease It's present method Of
conducting submarine warfare. The
opinion here is that diplomatic
break is certain and that war is q
strong possibility.
This view Is based on the fact that
Germany has emphasized that the
submarine Is Its most effective weap-
ON against Great Britain's starvation
blockade, Therefore, It Is believed
the kaiser cannot AFFORD to concede
anything essential. though he may
possibly offer certain concessions,
hoping to delay events.
The British attitude toward the
presidents note ranges from quiet
satisfaction nearly to jubilation.
1t Is believed that the note Is likely
to Influence other neutrals.
