BERNSTORFF AID UNDER
INDICTMENT PUZzLING U. S.
Won Igel, Accused in Welland Canal
Plot, May BE Held Here

Whether Wolf Won lgel, a member of
Count Won Bernstorf's official retinue,
who was arrested here last April and
indicted for alleged completely in the
plot to destroy the Weiland Canal,
should be allowed to sail FOR Germany
when the others of the staff depart is
a question that is puzzling the Federal
authorities.
Won Igel. who at one time was secre-
.ary 20 Captain Franz Won Papen, is
under 100000 bail.
Under international Jaw members of
an ambassadors retinue are immune
from punishment for offences COM
mitted in the country to which he is
credited, but although the Department
Of Justice recognized the fact that Won
Igel was registered at Washington it
directed his indictment, contending that
he was not free from prosecution under
our laws.
Captain Hans Tauscher, who was
named as co-conspirator, has been tried
and acquitted, but the Federal authori-
ties here have received no word from
Washington changing the status of Won
lgel's case. German Consuls Bopp, OF
San Francisco, and Luederitz, of Balti-
more, who were arrested for alleged
activity in bomb plots, are simply
treaty officials, and, unlike embassy at
taches, are not subjects Of special pro-
lection.

Berlin Officials Consider
Plan to Turn Work Over
to Spain or Holland
MAY GUST HOOVER
AND BRAND WHITLOCk
Washington Fears Ger
mans Will Forbid Any
Neutral Supervision


Washington, Feb. Germany is OPP
posed TO the continuance by American
agents of the Belgian relief work, &C.
cording to dispatches to the State De-
partment to-day from the American
Embassy in London. A conference OF
high German officials was held in Ber-
lin yesterday, according to other Off
cial reports, to adopt plans for permit.
ting the relief to go on under other
auspices.
The State Department has not been
informed of the decision reached, but II
is understood that Holland has been
approached on the subject, and that if
the Dutch government declines Spain
will be called On. 1t appears almost
certain that Germany intends not only
10 get rid OF Herbert c. Hoover's Amer.
icsn commission, but Of Minister Brand
Whitlock as we'll
Mr.. Hoover stated IN Washington a
few days ago that he rad completed his
plans for turning the task over to
Dutch or Spanish workers If Germany
should compel such course as a re-
suit of the break in relations or If war
should be declared between the United
States and Germany
There would be no alternative for
Whitlock but to quit Belgium il he
were informed that the German gov.
eminent could not permit him to re-
main longer in territory occupied by
Germany. Although he is accredited
10 the Belgian government. he has not
been with the Belgian oincials since
they hed the country before the Ger
man advance. lie remained to aid re-
lief operations as an influence against
rcedless hardships that otherwise
might have been imposed upon the
conquered people.
II is not believed that Germany de-
sires total suspension Of the humani'
tartan work, as il materially lessons
her responsibility and reduces the cost
20 her Of taking care OF the Belgians.
There is a conviction, though, that Ger
many will insist that the United states
shall have no connection with the dis
tribu,ion of contributed supplies after
they have reached Belgian soil. and it
is feared that only German authorities
will be allowed direct supervision OF
relief measures.

Net to RockaWay
From Sandy Hook
to Protect City
Work Started in Navy Yard for
Wire Trap for Subma-
rine Raiders

New York Harbor is 70 be protected
in case of war by a mighty wire net
which will be stretched from Sandy
Hook TO Rockaway Point, obstructing
the three ship channels-the Swash,
the old main ship channel and the Am
brose Channel.
Work has already been started on
the great submarine seine on the old
monitor Amphitrite at the Brooklyn
Navy Yard When finished, it will offer
the harbor complete protection from
any possible U-boat raid.
It is the intention at present to
use the net only after nightfall or
IN days of heavy fog. At other times.
it is said, destroyers, submarine
chasers and aeroplanes will be able
to guard the gateway to the city.
From sunset to sunrise the net will
be raised to bar submarine at any
Gepth entering the harbor. Similar
precautions. il is understood. will be
taken TO protect other harbOr cities
on the Atlantic Coast.
Netting rs harbor defence has
proved invuincrable during the present
war. Thousands of miles of it are in
use in English and French waters.
While the Germans claim 10 have in
vented cutting device whereby sub
marine may hack her way through. the
fact remains that none of the Allies
coast towns have suffered from U-boat
attacks. -.
No details have been made public
concerning the manner of nets the
United States will use. 1t is known,
however. that the wire for their con-
struction has been on hand for the last
two weeks. The nets for New York
harbor will probably be completed IN
sections and placed in position as soon
as possible.

BITTER
TOWARD WILSON
Accuse Him of Hostility to
Teutons and Sympathy
for England
BE- ERNST KAHN
lBy wireless 70 The Trounel

Rerlin. Feb. 9.-President Wilson Is
bitterly denounced in Germany as the
partisan of Great Britain in his STAND
on the submarine blockade and his re-
fusal TO carry the British violations OF
international law and usage to q de-
cision. The rupture in German-Ameri'
can relations, nevertheless, IS received
with the utmost calmness, even IN cir
cles which have had the friendly inter-
oourse Of the two countries deeply at
heart.
The situation whicl has arisen as the
result of Mr.. Wilson position IN sew
ering diplomatic relations with TINS
country is looked upon in all quarters
with full confidence and with the trm
conviction that Germany will achieve
her ultimate victory, even though inc
rupture should be followed by more
serious consequences.
For Mr.. Wilson personally there is
universal hostility. His step proves, II
;s held. that his lack of a kind intention
in attempting to understand Germany
neculiar situation mas always influenced
his policy in advance, and has induced
him to answer England's worst violation

which have existed wholly on paper.

Washington. Feb. 9.-1'he interview
credited 20 Baron Won Stumm created
surprise here, because the government
has been doing it's utmost TO extend
Count Won Bernstorff and other former
German officials every possible courtesy
and facility for getting home.
The failure of Count Won Bernstorh
10 communicate with his government
was explained By the former ambassa-
dor himself several days ago, when he
said he had sent no messages home per
sonally because he took 1t for granted
he could not use code and did not care
10 use plain language over the wireless.
The Swiss Minister. however. forward
ed notice OF the severance OF relations
and any other communication II was
desired to send.
Officials here are indignant over Ger
many's action in OBTAINING Ambassa-
dor Gerard However, dispatches to-
day indicated that full information
concerning what was being done here
for the Germans and the intention OF
the American government not to mo-
lest German war-bound ships had
reached Berlin and that the departure
of Mr.. Gerard would not be delayed
further.
When Mr.. Gerard and the other
Americans are safely out of Germany
the incident will be considered closed,
in spite Of the disagreeable impression
created here by Germany's course.

Britain Urges Secrecy
in Sailings for War Zone

Washington Feb. at the request
Of Great Britain, the State Department
has requested all newspapers in sea-
port cities 20 refrain from publishing
reports Of the sailings and cargoes OF
vessels departing for the war zone.
The publication Of such reports, IL is
said, is Of assistance TO Germany in
prosecuting the submarine campaign
against commerce,
Although the Treasury Department
ha5 forbidden the publication of mani.
tests until after the arrival Of vessels
at ports Of destination, the newspapers
have been able TO obtain accounts OF
ships cargoes from 'longshoremen, and
this information telegraphed TO Ger
many enables the submarines TO be on
the watch for the contraband carriers.
Now that the submarines arc instructed
10 sink all vessels on sight, the mere
fact Of departure is military informa-
ton Of the greatest Importance.

Berlin. Feb. via London. Feb. 8.
~.l5 q. M The German government
vas officially informed to-day by the
Spanish Ambassador that Count Won
Bernstorff will sal! for Halifax on
Monday. Americans who have been
wondering why no announcement has
been made regarding the departure OF
Ambassador Gerard's train have been
.,reatlv relieved. as they hope that
Fir. Gerard will now leave Berlin
shortly.
Berlin. Feb. (via London. Feb. 9.
1905 p. m).-Former Ambassador
Gerard and his party probably will
leave Berlin Saturday evening. al,
though the date has not been settled
definitely. II is expected they will
travel by way of Switzerland. .
Berlin. Feb. 8 via London, Feb. .,
LAS .. m.).-The choice of leaving
Berlin Saturday or Sunday was Of
fered Mr.. Gerard, and he quickly de-
cided in favor Of the earlier date. The
train which will take him to neutral
soil will be composed Of sleepers and
dav coaches. and probably will make
better time than the regular train
service. which no longer attaches the
importance 10 speed as in peace times.
The arrangements for the departure
Of Mr. Gerard and his suite were
practically completed to-day. The de-
lay was caused by the number OF pass
ports to be made out for the ambassa-
dorial party, and because Of the lack
OF news regarding the movements OF
Count Won Bernstorff. The embassy
representatives will enjoy the diplo-
matte privilege at the frontier, and
baggage inspection formslities for the
others Of the party viii be executed
before leaving Berlin, so that there
will be no delays az the border.
A special train will leave Berlin
Saturday evening. at $40 o'clock, for
Switzerland, by way OF Basel and
Berne. The party will then travel to
Spain. where Mr. Gerard will embark
on the first available steamer for the
Cnited States.
The former Ambassador and Mrs
Gerard will be accompanied by nearly
all the embassy secretaries and at
taches and members Of the consular
service in Germany except few or

Swedish Parties Agreed
on Reply to Wilson

Stockholm. Feb. l0.-The Swedish
governments rejection of President
Wilson's suggestion to make common
cause with the United States in sever
ing diplomatic relations with Germany
has not been followed by dissent in
high political quarters. Even the
strongest pro-Entente Partisans seem
agreed that the invitation could not
possibly have been accepted.
Hjalmar Branting, Socialist leader in
the lower house of Parliament, finds
fault with the tone Of the Presidents
note. He, however, commends the re-
lection by Sweden Of the invitation to
follow the course of the United States
in breaking off relations with Ger
many.

This call is not based upon any new
incident in the international situation,
but as the organization of the industry
and the commerce of the country Tor

offers afford an especially fa'orabie
opportunity for beginning the work OF

BREAK IS VINDICATI0N
OF RIGHT, SAYS RUSSIA
Wilson's Decision Officially Welcomed
as Triumph for Justice

wilson DeClsOH oni'ldli! welcomed
as Triumph for Justice
Petrograd. Feb. 9.-Thc Foreign One,
has given the following statement in
regard to the action of the United
States in terminating diplomatic rela.
tons with Germany:
"The decision OF the government o.
the United States 20 sever relations
with a nation which has persisted in
the violation and perversion Of all the
laws Of warfare has produced deep
impression in Russia. We felt assured
in advance that the United States
would rot tolerate tni5 last threat OF
Germany. but we are none the less
appreciativc of the prompt and decisive
manner in which President Wilson has
shown his disapproval OF Germsny's
mad submarine programme and his
reluctance to continue on friendly
terms with a nation which ignores the
first principles of civilization and hu.
manity.
whatever may be the further con.
sequences of the present diplomatic
rupture, Germany at least has beer
shown that any continuance Of her
past methods will meet the open hos
tility of the civilized world. 1t is i'm
possible for any of the warning nation,
however confident in the justice Of tn,
cause for which they are fighting, to
remain insensible 70 the approval or
disapproval of a great neutral power.
"For this reason we cannot TOO deeply
acknowledge our appreciation OF Presi
dent Wilson's verdict. Everywhere thai
men are fighting for the triumph Of
right and justice the action Of the
United States will call forth new eour
age and consolidate their conviction o.
a necessity of finishing forever with
German miiitarism and its atrocities
