IN MEXICAN SHACK
C.ACSES FEAR THAT EXPLOSIVES
PLANTED FOR ATTACK ON

All Houses Of Mexican Residents at
Columbus Searched for Arms
and Ammnnition--Dbscr
vntion Flight Made.

COLUMBUS, N. NJ, June 3D.
The finding of n long dynamite fuse
in Mexican shack here today led
to fears that dynamite had been Sc
creted for an attack on the base
camp in case OF war.
Paneho Ponce, the occupant of
the shack, claimed the fuse. which
was forty feet long, was for use In
the mines.
The houses of nearly all Mexican
residents were searched today for
arms and ammunition.
The spy scare resulted In secret
service agents keeping a close watch
on all suspicious characters. An
aeroplanc with an observer left Co
lumbus this morning for scouting
flight over the northern end OF the
communicating line In Mexico. A
report that n small body Of Mexican
troops was seen south of palomos
near the border caused the obser-
vation.

That This Step Had Been Taken Was

Measure of Pre-

United States government has ask
ed Great Britain to look after Ameri-

today.
This request, 1t was explained, was
not indicative Of immediate trouble
but the step was taken rather as q
precaution. Such movements are GUS
tomary when trouble is threatened
between two countries.
England has been selected because
Of her extensive interests and num-
erous representatives in Mexico, and
their constituent ability to look af-
ter whatever might arise in the event
of war.

PEACE CANNOT COME UNTU.
PRUSSIAN MIIJTtRYIsM
HAS BEEN CRUSHED.
VIEWS OF RUSSIA
Russian Foreign Minister Declares
There viii Isc No Peace Until
Allied Soil Has Been
Swept Clean Enemy.
BY William Philip Slmms. United
Press staff correspondent. Copy
righted 1916 by the United Press.
Copyright In Great Britain.

PETROGRAD, June 23.-Peace
must como only when allied soil is
swept clean of the enemy and Prus-
sian militaryism forever crushed,
A. d. Sazanoff, Russian minister of
foreign affairs and some times called
"the pillar of the triple entente"
told the United Press In an exclusive
interview.
Minister Sazanoff had just re-
turned from TIE Russian front. In
private audience he outlined Rus
sia's attitude toward peace talk cur
rent in neutral countries and espe-
cially in America.
Germany" said the minister,
"set upon us without warning. Now,
having signally failed to beat Eu-
rope into submission and finding
her intended victim getting the up
per hand, she covers her face with
a mask of piety and endeavors to
throw on the allies the blame for
continuing the war.
such procedure is an open
avowal of her own weakness and an
attempt to hide her own unenvitable
situation-a fact which / believe the
world will soon realize, If it doesn't
already.
peace talk Is now doubly futile,
Germany most assuredly has not won
the war, and she is not in n position
to say anything. We cannot say yet
that we are the victors, though
peace suggestions are unfriendly to
us.
"Germany's power is already
waning. The stresgth of the allies
is increasing as proved by daily
events in the fighting at Verdun.
the Russian advance, the successful
clash at Skaggerrack and victories
in Asia Minor"
"War can end but one way-and
that is for allied soil to be swept
clean of the enemy and our every
demand admitted" continued the
minister. 'To accpet peace earlier
would be to shirk our duty"
