New York. April 10 Despite Am
bassador Won Bernstorif's repeated
demands for the release IF Wolf Won
taken from his office at tue time OF
his arrest, the United States govern
ment did not release the prisoner to-
day.
Instead, Photographic copies Of the
papers seized We're sent 20 Washing
ton on every train leaving this city.
These photographs will ne shown to
the ambassador and he viii be given
an opportunity to define his position
as to the right of the United States
department of justice to seize the pa
pers.
Throughout the day J Il became
more and more evident shat the az
rest Of Won Igel was a ntesier stroke
on the part of local secret service
men. The case has loHnled as the
most important in the plnt investiga-
ton, and the papers taken were seiZ-
ed at the only moment Of the day
when so large number end so i'm
portant a collection couti be availa-
BILE.
The law provides that only those
papers seized at the time of the ar
rest can be used at the prosecution
in such case.
One of the men connected with
the prosecution of the alleged bomb
plotters said tonight that an unbleas-
ant surprise would await the German
ambassador. He said the papers
would show conclusively that an ac-
credited official of the German gov
eminent had been fully cognizant Of
every step taken nj the conspiracy to
destroy the Welland canal and ships
bearing munitions for the allies.
1t is expected that as a result OF
the statements contained in the pa
pers and corroborated even to the
minutest detail by mass of authenti-
Gated memoranda, Count Won Bern
storff will repudiate Won Igel and dis
miss without further consideration
the prisoners claim of extra terri
torial right and immunity.

Presidents indictment of Germany in
Submarine Issue Presented TO COndress

Washington, April 19.-Presiden
Wilson laid the submarine situation
! before congress this afternoon, sayin
that situation had arisen whicl
made it his duty, TO speak frankly
The president addressed congress, a
follows:
! Gentlemen of the Congress-
"a situation has arisen in the for
eign relations of the country of which
it is my plain duty to inform you yer,
| frankly. 1t will be recalled that il
February, 1915, the imperial German
government announced it's intention
to treat the waters surrounding Great
Pritain and Ireland as embraced
within the seat of war, and to destroy
all merchant ships owned by it's enc
mics that might be found within any
part of that portion of the high seas
and that it warned all vessels of neu-
trail as we'll as of belligerent own
ership to keep out of the waters it
had thus prescribed, or else enter
them at their peril.
"The government of the United
States earnestly protested 1t took
the position that such policy could
not be pursued without the practical
certainty of gross and palpable viola
tons of the law of nations, particu-
Iarly if submarine craft were to be
employed as it's instruments, mas
much as the rules prescribed by that
law, rules founded upon principles OF
humanity and established for the pro-
lection of the lives of non-combat-
ants at sea, could not in the nature
Of the case be observed by such YES
sells. 1t based it's protest on the
ground that persons of neutral ma
tionality and vessels of neutral own
ership would be exposed to extreme
and intolerable risks, and that no
right to close any part of the high
seas against their use or to expose
them to such risks could lawfully be
asserted by any belligerent govern
ment. The law of nations in these
matters, upon which the government
of the United States based it's pro-
test, is not of recent origin or found
ed upon merely arbitrary principles
set up by convention. 1t is based, on
the contrary, upon manifest and inn
perative principles of humanity, and
has long been established with the
approval and by the express consent
of all civilized nations.
Germany Ignored Protests.
''Notwiths landing the earnest pro-
test of our government, the imperial
German government at once proceed
ed to carry out the policy it had an
nounced. 1t expressed the hope that
the dangers involved, at any rate the
dangers to neutral vessels, would be
reduced to minimum by the in

warned and summoned to surrender
before being fired on or torpedoed;
sometimes passengers or crews ha We
been vouchsafed the poor security of
being allowed to take to the ships

foresaw must happen, has happened.
Tragedy has followed tragedy on the
seas in such fashion, with such at

grossly evident that warfare of such
Il sort, if warfare 1t be, cannot be
carried on without the most palpable
violation of the dictates alike of right
and humanity. Whatever the dispo-
sition and intention of the imperial
German government it has manifest

such methods of attack upon the
commerce of it's enemies within the
bounds set by either the reason or

Germany Sets Aside Law Of Nations.
"In February of the present year

other neutral governments of the
world that it had reason to believe
the government of Great Britain had
armed all merchant vessels of Brit

secret orders to attack any subma-
rine of the enemy they might encoun-

perial German government felt justi-

all merchantmen of belligerent own
ership as auxiliary vessels of war,
which it would have the right TO de-
stroy without warning. The law of
nations has long recognized the right
of merchantmen to carry arms for

HE HAD MADE NO PROMISES
Substitute Was Not Asked If He
"Could" Play the Game, But
Only If He "WouId."

Although he will not get many op.
portunities of playing in cricket
matches this year, George RObey will
help to keep himself fit by practicing
at the nets at Lords.
The famouse comedian has a great
love for the summer game, and he tells
an amusing story of one of those off
days, when everything goes wrong,
which once befell him. He was watch
ing a game when one of the captains
came up TO him, explained that he was
"a man short" and asked him if he
would play.
Certainly" agreed Robey.
He went out to field, and chiefly dis
tinguished himself by missing two
catches, fumbling the ball, and SO on.
Not content with that, he made a duck
when he went in TO bat.
The captain who had got him to play
took things badly.
''Why, you can't play at all !" ne said
sneeringly.
"Sir," replied George Robey majec-
tically, when you asked me to play
you asked me if l would, not if 1
could. And so that's that"

Scab is not advanced, from two to
three minutes may be sufficient, but
in graduating hard scab on fine-wool
sheep better results are obtained if the
animals are held from three to five
minutes during the first dipping. When
the disease is advanced it is also rec
commended that the hard scabs be
broken and dressed by hand with a
solution of the dipping fluid before
the animal is immersed in the bath.
In this process care should be taken
not to cause the wound to bleed.
The value of proper dipping has
been abundantly demonstrated by past
experience. Nearly all of the states
which formerly suffered from the dis
ease have been released from quaran-
tine, and losses have been reduced to
minimum over the entire area af-
fected. The disease has not, however,
been entirely eradicated. and, If
neglected, may assume much of its for
mer Importance. 1t is extremely con-
tagious and may be spread in num-
Der of ways. A flock of scabby sheep
will infect roads, old bed grounds,
sheds, trails, pastures, ranges and the
ground around watering places. Dur
ing the dry summer months the scab
often remains dormant, and it is not
uncommon at these periods for the
flock master to believe that he has
eradicated it. With the coming Of
cold, rainy weather, however, the dis
ease reappears.
At the present time one of the most
active factors in spreading infection
in the range country is the buck. In
many sections it is the custom for
owners to put their bucks in a public
buck herd, where they remain until a
short time before they are turned into
the eve flockS. Some of these COM
munity buck herds consist Of from 500
to 1000 animals belonging to large
number of different owners. Should
scab exist in any one Of the different
outfits owned by these men, the entire
buck herd will become infected and
the bucks, in turn, will spread the dis
ease upon their return to the eve
f1ocks. 1t has been estimated that
more than 90 per cent of the out
breaks of scab in the sheep-raising
ranges In the West are due directly
to these buck herds.

SWINE TREATED WITH VIRUS
Vaccinated Hogs Should Be Placed in
Separate Pen Away From Other
Animals of Herd.
By w. P. SHULER, Oklahoma Exper
ment Station)

(By w. P. SHULER, Oklahoma Expert
ment Station.)
If you vaccinate a part of your herd
of hogs by the double treatment they
should be placed in a separate pen,
away. from the other hogs, and kept
under quarantine, so to speak, for
about three weeks, in order to avoid
the possibility of transmitting cholera
to the unvaccinated ones.
When an animal receives the double
treatment, he has a mild attack of
cholera. The vaccine furnishes his
body with enough extra protective sub
stances that the animal is uninjured.
After the vaccination has taken" this
animal is liable to transmit disease for
a period of from 20 to 30 days. After
that time he should be dipped, the
pen thoroughly disinfected, and then
he can go back among the unvaccinat-
ed hogs. Otherwise he will carry the
cholera.
1t is better to allow a month to
elapse and strict quarantine observed.
Use different vessels to feed and al
low no one to 60 into the pens. If you
give the other hogs dose of vaccine,
but not virus, they can safely asso-
ciate with the hogs that have had the
double treatment, but under no other
condition is this possible.

cONFEssEs ON DEATHBED
BY the Story Young Woman Of Jack
sonviIIe, Fla, Long Suspected of
Crime, is Exonerated.

Jacksonville, FLA belated confess
sion in a local hospital by dying
woman clears up q murder mystery
and exonerates well-known young
woman of this city. For seven years
that young woman has lived under the
stigma of having committed the crime.
Miss Jesse Brown is the young wom-
ingston, who, at the point of death
from tuberculosis, was unwilling to
die in silence when her speech could
right great wrong that had been
done to an innocent woman.
The man who was killed was Earl
p. Adams, an actor. then director of
the Mable Paige stock company. In
April, 1909 that company was play
ing in Jacksonville and Adams was
engaged to be married to Miss Brown.
According to the story then told, he
desired to break his engagement with
Miss Brown so that he might marry
Miss Elizabeth Bagley. According to
that same story, which had gained
credence and was regarded as true I'M
til today, Adams was shot by Miss
Brown when he went to her home to
explain why he had broken his engage
ment. Miss Brown was arrested at the
time, but freed through lack Of evil
dence.
All of those theories were disproved
in the light of the confession of Laura
Livingston, who says that Adams was
shot by Charles Virgins, her sweet
heart.

baths, as the temperature of the So
tuition is an important factor in its eff

the nicotine and sulphur dips should
have q temperature of from 100 to 105

hotter than this the sheep may be in
jured, and if it is colder the grease in
the wool will retard it's action and the
mites may not be destroyed. 1t is de-
sirable, therefore, that thermometers
be used to ascertain the actual tenn

tions that are more than ten days old
frequently lose their effectiveness.
