DOCUMENTS, TOO, ARE HELD Photographic CoflrsArc Scut loAni ha.atlor I5ernstorrf and Only Sim-Ii as Arc. Designated "Of ficial" Will lie Ueturncd. XKW YOftK. April S- Wolfe von Isel will not be released from custody and only a part of the documents .seized at the time of his arrest on a charee of being implicated in a plot to destroy the Wetland Canal will be re turned to tli German embassy. United states Attorney Jl. Snowden Marshall announced tnnieht. His statement was maIe in explanation of the latest phase of the tannic which followed the ar rett of the former secretary to Captain Franz von Tapen. Von Igel now is declared hv Ambajyadw von Bernstorff to be an attache of the German em bassy. I have not even considered the re lease of Von Izel." Mr. Marshall con tinued. "The legality of his arrest was iefinitely settled, so far as my office is concerned, early today. Von IkcI Not on Staff in 1014. "Following; Von loci's arrest the pro test of the German Ambassador was made to the Secretary of iState and Mr. I-ansing referred the matter to the Attorney-Geenral's office. When the protest reached my office the only question to be decided was whether Von Ige! was a member of the Ger man Ambassador's staff on the date of the crime charged. I was able imme diately to report in the negative. "The crime wtih which Von Igel is charged took place during September, 1914. It was not, until December. 1915. that Ambassador von Bernstorff pre sented Von Itrel's name as a member of his official family. I doubt whether Von Igel proved acceptable, and it is my opinion that he never has been le gally a member of the German em bassy staff." Photograph Sent Bernfttorff. Regarding the documents seized, the return of which vas demanded ,by Count von Bernstorff. denial was made by Mr. Marshall that he had received instructions to turn them over to the German embassy. "I was instructed early today to for ward to Washington papers described as 'official' by Count von Bernstorff." the restrict Attorney said. "Not de siring to take upon myself the respon sibility of deciding which of the pa pers were 'official,' I sent for fac simile photographs of all the papers. The orierinals are locked in my safe. Only suvh papers as Count von Bern storff designates as 'official on in specting the facsimiles will be re turned." Mr. Marshall asserted there was no basis for protest against his retention of the papers on the ground that they were obtained through a violation or Herman territory. Von Igel contended that his office was a. branch of the German embassy. the element which favors war with the United State. Jt also will be argued to the min istry that the United States ia pro ally, anyhow; that it is supplying Kngland, France . and Russia with money, munitions and other things they need, and that it' is better to have an avowed enemy rather than a hostile friend. eatral Policies in Balance. Germany cannot afford, however, to disregard the possibilities that the ac tion of the United (States will affect gravely the policies of Holland, Den mark and Norway as well as Greece. Holland is greatly stirred over the destruction without warning of her steamers. Norway and Denmark are sympathetic with the allies. Greece is determined to enter the war on the side which will win. If the United States should enter the conflict there would not be any doubt of the outcome. t German statesmen recognize this fact. Therefore the opinion in diplo matic circles here is that if there is any break of the relations it mut be made by President Wilson.

The answer of Germany to the Ameri can semi-ultimatum will be dictated by the necessities of the central power at the present moment. What has Germany to gain by the adaption of a hostile attitude on the part of the United States? KYeedom to carry on her submarine operations without regard to principles of human. ty and international law. This wo.'H mean the torpedoing on sight of eurv vessel, neutral as well as belligerent. The ability to say to the German people that the Kaiser's forces could defeat the allies but that victory is im possible with the whole world as an enemy and tha it is desirable to make peace. This would save the House of Hohen zollern. Germany Han Mora to Lone. What has Germany to lose by an tagonizing the United States? The probable entrance into the war of a Nation 100.000,000 strong, with vast and unfettered resources. Adoption by European neutrals of an attitude similar to that of the United States. Loss of the irifiuence of the United Pfw.tes to. prevent a peace which would be disastrous to the German empire.

"Why lias f ilajf ia unljf bo k Csat XfliCiaaU' DELEGATES ARE NAMED Pacific County Convention Also In dorses AVilson and Lister. SOUTH BEND. Wash.. April 19. (Special.) Pacific County Democrats met last night and elected 13 delegates and 13 alternates to the state conven tion at Yakima, May 2. Resolutions commending the state and National ad ministrations and President Wilson and Governor Lister were unanimously adopted. The delegation will go uninstructed. Captain A. T. Stream, of Klipsan Beach, is a candidate from Southwest Wash ington for delegate to the National con vention and will be supported by the county delegation. FINAL WARNING IS GIVEN f Continuf-d From First Pnice. marks with those of German torpedoes in possession of the French govern ment at the naval station- at Toulon, out that the American officers actually found 13 pieces of metal which they have identified as parts of German torpedoes. Four of the steel parts of the "war head" of the torpedo still bear the distinctive red paint common to German "war heads." Besides this evidence, the note con tends, every circumstance either ad mitted by Germany in her disclaimer or proved by affidavits of persons on the destroyed liner proves beyond question that she was torpedoed with out warning. Violation Wanton and Repeated. In short, the United States presents the evidence as the capstone to an accumulation of evidence extending over a period of months which is held to prove irrefutably that Germany's assurances to the United States re peatedly have been wantonly violated. Copies of the American note were sent to representatives here of neutral nations on the assumption that they are as much interested as the United States in the protection of neutral rights. The document was not given to any of the belligerent diplomats, as the controversy is regarded as being solely between the United States and Germany. Count von Bernstorff already has re iterated to Secretary Lansing that un der no circumstances will Germany give up the submarine as a weapon of warfare, because she contends it is re taliation for Great Britain's food block ade. The Ambassador has declared, however, that his government will at tempt to conduct submarine operations within the law of nations. This the United States is willing to discuss after Germany has abandoned her present methods not before. Obstacle Stands In Way. Against that possibility stands the declaration in the American note that the United States has considered from the first that the employment of sub marines for destruction of commerce is by its very nature "utterly incom patible with the principles of human ity, the long established and incontro vertible rights of neutrals and the sac red immunities of noneombatants." The crisis now resolves itself into the waiting stage, during which Germany will have opportunity to accede to the American demands. , Before another week begins, settlement of the long standing issue either will beassured or Count von Bernstorff probably will have his passports, and Ambassador Gerard will be leaving Berlin. The President guarded his plans with effective secrecy until 10- o'clock this morning, when he disclosed them at a conference with Chairman Stone and Senator Lodge, the ranking Republican, of the Senate foreign relations com mittee, and Chairman Floor and Rep resentative Cooper, the ranking Repub lican, of the foreign affairs committee of the House. He outlined to there what he had said in the note ditpatched to Berlin last night and what he pro posed to say to Congress today. When the 'resident finished read ing he looked up and. seeing Senator Stone's grave face, said, l"ou look as sad as I feel." The chairman's response was to in quire of the President if he had told them all he had to say. The conference thus ended. The word of the President's plans spread quickly through Congress and when he took his place at the clerk's desk in the hall of the House promptly at 1 o'clock he was confronted by an assembly of gravely quiet Senators and Representatives-, who hung intent ly on every word he uttered and cheered him heartily when he had finished. The. President asked nothing of Con gress: he came only to inform it of his action. He did It in 15 minutes, and Congress went back to work, solemnly Impressed with the situation which confronts the country. ' The scene had been dramatically human. The President's deemanor reflected his state of mind, and an impartial ob server readily would say the demeanor of Congress as a whole reflected Its sympathy. The first actually eruical moment toward which the relations of the United States and Germany have been steadily drifting for nearly a year had come and been passed, and the Presi dent returned to the White House to await the next one.

The mill ing interests of the Northwest today assailed and asked for the withdrawal of the recent report of I3r.

"Fowls will live in perfect health for many months on an exclusive diet of wheat, corn, wholesome flour, or so-talled water-ground meal," the re port says. "If these animals are fed, however, on highly milled products they will die 'within a month or two of polyneuritis, a disease similar to beri-beri." Fowls fed on wheat bread made from highly milled flour, the report asserts, developed polyneuritis in from 20 to 32 days. When they were fed "highly milled corn, grits or meal, the disease developed in from 23 to 50 days. 1 DEAD, 11 HURT IN WRECK LIGHT ENGINE HITS PASSEXGER l IDAHO SM.VSHIP.

The engine was traveling at a rate of 25 miles an hour, and the passenger train was going 15 miles an hour when they met. A short curve obscured the view of the two engineers. When they crashed neither engine left the track. Fireman Black saw the light engine before the collision and yelled for his engineer, H. M. Basher, to jump. Black himself could not jump from his side of the errgine, as the track runs close to the mountain at that spot. He tried to get across to the other side of the cab when the engines met and he was crushed beyond recognition. Basher es caped with a cut head and . severe bruises. Kngineer Malone and Fire man Jackson, of the light enginei were badly cut and bruised, but neither was hurt seriously. Mrs. Rose Cox, 57, was, was the most severely injured of the 15 passengers on the train. Her back was badly wrenched and she suffered cuts and bruises. It is feared the shock may prove fatal. M. C.
