Republican A. p. Leased WireI

DOUGLAS March 24-Mexican and American officials, military and civil. are investigating a report received here Sunday from the Diamond A ranch, south of Hachita, New Mexico that band of Villa followers had raided the Mexican ranch of the company and footed it. The extent of the robbery will not be known for several days in all probability.
 Fearing a raid and the possibility Of being held for ransom. the American foreman and his employees had been sleeping in a camp about two miles from ranch headquarters for two weeks. Last Thursday morning, ac- cording to the report received here when the employees started to ride into the ranch from the camp, they found it in possession of an armed band of Mexicans, who were busy footing it. The employs sought refuge in flight, the report being received here and in Agua Prieta from the first of the refu- gees to reach the border
 The Diamond As Mexican ranch is just over the Sonora border from Chi huahua, accessible from the latter state through San Luis Pass, the road through which is within a few yards of the American side of the boundary.

NEW YORK, March 24-Professor Rodger Adams of Urbana, Illinois. testifyi1g today for the government at the court martial trial on Govern ors Island of Captain Edwin C. Weis- gerberg of Pittsburg, charged with acts detrimental to the United States and Great Britain and favorable to Germany, declared that analysis of a chemical mixture submitted by the defendant to the British war mission as a substitute for gasoline and pur- porting by him to consist of 95 per cent water and five per cent chemi- calls was in reality "a saturated so- lution of picric acid and gasoline"
 The government contends that use of the mixture with it's alleged picric acid contents would ultimately de- stroy any internal combustion engine or motor" and seriously impair the operation of submarines, motor trucks and other military and naval equip ment.
 Professor Adams, who is on the faculty of the University of Illinois, and was recently discharged as a major in the chemical warfare ser vice, testified that his analysis showed the mixture to contain siX-tenths of one per cent picric acid and ordinary commercial gasoline. His tests. he said, showed no evidence of water or any other ingredients in the mixture, although he admitted that there may have been slight traces of other chemicals which would not appear in the analysis.
 Gasoline Substitute Joke
 The mixture in question was sub- mitted to the British war mission in Washington, July 15, 1918, and turned over to the American chemical war fare service for analysis
 This was done, Arthur H. Wyke- ham George of Baltimore, assistant director of war supplies for the Brit ish mission, testified because we had no secrets and were working to- gether."
 Continuing his testimony, Profess sor Adams declared that it would he 1 impossible to form a synthetic fuel | having the properties of gasoline with 95 per cent water and chemicals. Under cross examination the witness denied that he had judged the possibilities of the chemical mixture, but admitted that he had never made study of alleged gasoline substi- tutes.
 Wykeham- George. under cross-ex- animation, declared that he under stood the mixture was submitted for 1 gasoline, but that there was no re- quest or offer of remuneration so | far as he knew. A memorandum submitted to J. K. Burnett of Pitts 1 burg who was associated with the defendant in the manufacture of the mixture, claimed that the substitute could be made at a cost of seven cents a gallon and anywhere, where either fresh or salt water was avail : able.

PEACE COUNCIL

Neutrals Command Atten- tion With Amendments Speeches of Senator Lodge and President Lowell Are Being Studied - Effort Being Made to Clarify Points

PARIS, March 24.-(By the As sociated ress).-President Wilson met Premiers Clamenceau, Lloyd George and Orlando at the foreign office at o'clock this afternoon for an hours conference before the assembling of the supreme war council.
 Both the conference and the su- preme war council were held amid fee:ine of concern over the reVo- lutionary developments in eastern Europe and the lack of definite re- suits thus far reported in the Paris conference in stabilizing European conditions.
 President Wilson was known to regard the situation as serious and as calling for energetic action to- ward hastening the work of the conference to completion, and there was reason to believe that this would be one of the main subjects before both meetings, rather than the formal questions of the pro- gram.

POLISH CORRIDOR
 STERN NECESSITY
IRepubIican A. p. Leased Wire]

WASHINGTON, March 24-The fate of Poland as a stable and inde pendent nation depends on the inclu sion of Danzig and its hinterland with in the new Polish state, said John F. Smulsld, Polish commissioner for the United States, in a statement tonight referring to dispatches from Paris saying that the peace conference might abandon the plan for corridor from Poland to the sea coast.
 Without territorial possession of Danzig,' said Commissioner Smulzki, "the new Polish state will become a mere advanced trading post for Ger many. It will be obliged to do it's busi- ness through German merchants, through German ports and German banks and to make the best trades possible for it's economic existence, which will mean the acceptance Uf terms subordinate to German com mercial aggrandizement.
 Any plan which aims at this time to giving to the Poles mere transit facilities through DaEzig, and which makes even the Operation of a railroad between Danzis and Warsaw subject to German approval makes for the con trol of Poland by the bolshevikis.'

SOLDIERS SQUELCH
 SPARTACAN SCHEME

COBLENZ, March 24.-(By the As-I sOciated Press. )-Three agitators, ad- mittedly spartacan sympathizers, con- fessed to the American military au- thorities today that they came into the occupied area for the purpose of fur thering a movement among the Ger man workmen to organize spartacan forces, sufficiently, that in time they would gain strength enough to attack the American soldiers and gain pos session of the Coblenz banks and rail- road stations and receive assistance from unoccupied Germany.
 Frederick Schwarzkopf, one of the leaders of the movement, was arrested Sunday with six other agitators. The military police now have nineteen Germans under arrest on various charges connected with efforts to create unrest among the civilian work men. Schwarzkopf recently came to Coblenz from Berlin. He told work men he was one of the spartacan group which stormed the palace of the former German emperor
 The original plans were for an up- rising on March 15, or the day after, according to those under arrest, but the plan fell through owing to lack of interest among the workmen. Schwarzkopf and the other leaders planned to attack the German police station, gain possession of arms, seize the railroad stations and telegraph of- fees and later take charge of the banks and affairs generally. Schwarz kopf said he received thirty marks a day from the sparJacans for his work as an agitator.
 The Americans had full information of the plans of the agitators early ir March and soon began arresting the leaders in the plot and also those who showed any sympathy with the spar l tacan movement.

Eoch Attends Meeting

Marshal f'och was present during the discussion of the serious situation in Hungary but no announcement was made concerning any action decided upon. It was resolved to send @ joint telegram to the Poles and CZecho-Slo- walks asking them to submit their diff ferences to the committee on the ground, instead of forwarding com plaints to the peace conference. This proposal was made by the United States and affects the Teschen coal fields to which both the Poles and Czecho Slo walks are laying claim.
 The American view that submarine cables are not prizes of war, was upA held by the council. The question was presented in q report by a committee covering three main points. First. the committee was Unanimous that cables should be cut as an act of military necessity; second, the committee was divided on the question as to whether cables were prizes of war like warships. the British, French and Japanese hold ing them to be prizes, and the United States and Italy taking the opposite view; third, the committee was unani- nous that the United States or other third parties should be consulted on the final disposition of German cables
 
 finally approved the view that cables are not prizes, but are subject to the same disposition as other private prop erty. It is in this form that the sub iect will be drafted for insertion in the treaty.
 The decision affects 13 German cables including those to America and several in the Pacific connecting for mer German colonies.
 PARIS, March 24. -(By the Asso- ciated Press) The results of the de- Alterations of the supreme council to- day are not likely to be stated in the official communiques. and probably will take form in their effect on the conference work, particularly with re- spect to reparations, frontiers and the league of nations
 The advocates of the league of na- tions maintain that it is in no way re- tarding the progress of the peace treaty as the league meetings are held at night and are nearing a conclusion whereas the obstacles to the treaty are questions of principle on which the premiers thus far have been unable to secure an agreement.
 The war council again today dealt with Poland, which question is close tC settlement. It is understood that the recomme ndations of the Cambon com mittee for Polish corridor across East Prussia to the Baltic, will prevail. de- spite the objections raised by Premier Lloyd George. The Polish divisions at present in France will probably proceed to the Baltic and may land at Koenigs- berg, instead of Danzig, in order tC avoid clash with the Germans ovel Danzig.
