Do Not Expect Trial

Federal officials do not expect to
bring Won Papen to trial. While he is
no longer immune from prosecution by
the United States civil authorities,
since he ceased to be a member of the
German embassy staff, the offense with
which he is charged is not extraditable
under any treaty with a foreign gov
ernment.
The indictment, it is understood, was
returned with the sanction Of the de-
partment Of justice, and is believed
to establish a precedent. No effort will
be made to have Won Papen brought
here, but the indictment will be held
in allegiance in case he should ever re-
turn to the United States.
John T. Ryan, an attorney Of Buff
falo, N. Y, was named in the indict-
ment as the man who acted as inter-
mediary in the payment of money by
Won Papen to Won Der Goltz.

said he was paid $3.50 for what he did
by wealthy man. whose name he

had known as Little Louis" hired
him at Seventh avenue saloon, in
New York. according to his story and
drove the automobile which carried the
young woman from New Rochelle to
West Point.
Glennorris said the man told him
during the ride that the name Of the
girl was Dorothy Arnold. Her fea-

Change Demanded

The document reviews Germany's
submarine activities since the Lusi
tania was sunk, almost year ago, and
makes it plain that only by an imme-
date change in the German policy can
friendly relations continue between the
two nations. AS the President was put

on which he and Secretary Lansing

How do you put in your spare

Are the amusements or your leis-
ure hours such that you will profit
from them bodily or mentally?
And do you have a real variety
OF amusement? Or do you spend
your leisure in pretty much the

These questions are OF more I'M
portance TO you than you perhaps
suspect.
For, In point OF cold fact. the way
a man occupies himself when he is
free from the daily grind means
about as much 10 him as the way
be does his work.
Misspent leisure can destroy eff
cheney just as surely as can faulty
ways OF working.
And II Is by no means necessary
for man persistently to spend his
leisure In drinking. gambling. or
any other vicious mode OF amuse-
ment, In order to spend It badly.
There are plenty OF men who do
not touch drop of liquor or bet a
cent; yet who manage TO do injury
to their working power by their
methods of amusing themselves.
This Is decidedly the case with
the man who always has TO go out
side himself in order 10 pass his
free moments agreeably.
Many men are OF this type. They
are the men who never can settle
down at homo nights, but as soon
as they are through supper must
rush out for an evenings entertain
ment at the theater. the dance
hall, or the billiard room.
Night after night they thus amuso
themselves. thinking that they
thereby gain the relaxation they re-
quire as tired business men,"
Actually they are only making
themselves more tired. more unit to
attend TO their business duties.
