YNN JiGOW TALKS TOO MUCH.
Gcrman Mir'stnr's distinctions Re
 scented at Washington.

Washington, Apri. S.-It was stated authoritatively tonight that official consideration is likely to be given by this government to an interview au- thoriZed by Foreign Minister von lagow, in Berlin. to which execution is unofficially taken in the adminis- tration quarters tonight.
 The German foreign minister is oucted as saying:
 Tt is unfortunately true, that dur ing the war, when the thoughts of every German are bound up in the heart and soul struggle for existence against a worldwide coalition, and when the attitude of the Washington government at times has been almost forced. even we think that there might be some basis for stories of an understanding of some sort between Washington and the allies."
 It is understood President Wilson and Secretary Lansing discussed the submarine question over the tele- phone tonight. Later it was said tha4 i, would be difficult to prove legally that the Sussex was attacked by a German submarine. in view of the re- ported denial of the Berlin govern ment.
 No official statement on the case will be given to the public until after the cabinet meeting Tuesday.

COMISSARY CLERK AT WARNER LEyEE
 E. CAMP MISSING
Feared That Young Man Known as Shorty"
 Drowned in Flood Water.

That white man, about 24 years of age, and who was employed as a commissary clerk by Mrs. Mccarthy at 'McCarthy's levee camp at Warner, has been missing since Tuesday last, and is believed to have been drown ed when the protection levee near there gave way before the present flood stage in the river, was the by F. Ross Dennison, levee con- tractor
 ''The break in the levee occurred about 1 F miles from Mccarthy camp, and about three-quarters of mile from my camp, the Dennison camp" said Mr. Dennison. "We have been unable to learn anything about him, his name or home, because we have not been able to search through his effects, owing to the flood water al his camp. He was known only as Shorty to us.
 "He had left his camp and was com ing to my camp to see me, when he was last seen, about , o'clock Tues udy dllcIllOOl. we uO IOL kIlt1W II he was caught in the flood waters or what happened to him, but we dc know that he has not been seel. or heard of since Tuesday afternoon"
 Shorty" was about , feet inches tall, and wore a brown suit, when he was last seen Mir. Dennison, who can be reached by telephone at Var ner, is anxious to be informed of the finding of any body down the river as he fears Shorty" was drowned, ol was killed by a convict and the body thrown into the stream.
 The break at Warner last Tuesday morning was inconsequential so fal as damage was concerned, said MT Dennison. The break did not occur in the new levee, but in protection levee which had been thrown up by all the levee contractors, who ar' working on the new levee which vii take the place of the levee whicl caved in before the floods in Febru ary. The greatest harm has been il the delay caused to the building o this new levee.

Chicago, Opril S.-Senator Warren G. Harding of Ohio, who. as tempo raIy chairman of the Republican national convention will sound the keynote of the 1916 campaign, tonight placed himself in the lmelight as a possible presidential nominee.
 Speaking at the Appomattox day banquet of the Hamilton club, he boldly expressed views which were accepted as those Of powerful influ- ences in the party There was no sentimental bid for Progressive sup port.
 There was wincing among the Roosevelt men present, when the con- vention spokesman sad:
 There must be some safe attitude between being too proud to fight, and magnifying the chip on the shoulder which calls for scrap"
 Senator Harding hammered the Wilson administration. and he made no enemies among the captains of in dustry present when he said a good word for cap tai.
 "There is one trouble with the Democratic party, ne Safu, Ut has been talking hundred years about the interest of the American consumer and has never had a thought Of the American producer"
 Again. while On the subject Of the tariff the senator remarked:
 ''It is all wrong to proclaim success dishonest. No law can ever provide a substitute for thrift and industry Nothing is more unfair than the in situation that the man who is con. cerned about the confidence Of the business world is an opponent of hu- man progress"
 The protective policy. insisted the senator, would be the great issue oi the coming campaign. although there would be more spectacular" features such as preparedness.

keen and for the most part unerring.
When, therefore, he says the Teutonic
allies are due for a stellar offensive, 1t
is worthy of attention and reflection,
Notwithstanding his qualification that
otherwise it must be taken as an adj
mission of Teutonic failure even to Sc
cure the drawn battle which that side
may hold as tantamount to victory.
To his way of looking at it, this Of
fensive can take the form only of a
drive through Northeastern Russia to
Petrograd or Moscow. Most unbiased
students of the war situation might
take the same view, but that view mar
rows the possibilities of a great often

the Teutonic angle, though it seems
the view of logic as we'll as of neces-

forces plowed their way through Po-
land and into Russia until stopped by
the winter of last year naturally sug-
gests the same route for any forthcom-

the other reasons are that no other

But the situation is so changed that
a repetition of the German success of

agree impossible. Germany has lost

a retreat that would disaster.
From none of the threatened points
can she detach troops to be united in
a grand assault elsewhere.
Moreover, it is a different Russia
that is advancing on the eastern and
