By Carl I. Croat
Berlin, Pec U. P.) Reor
Sanitation of the German cabinet if
the entente Insists upon 'enforcement
of the terms of the protocol, was
considered probable here today.
Herman Mueller, minister, of for
eign affairs, may resign It the sec
tion' of the protocol requiring Ger
many to surrender certain docks and
shipping In return for the sinking of
the Sea ia Flow fleet is enforced. It
is said.
. Whether a reorganised cabinet will ac
cept the protocol was not known. Ger
many bitterly denies her government
was responsible for Admiral von Beu
ters action in scuttling his ships and
looks upon the allied . demand for sur
render of docks and merchant shipping
as "robbery."
DTDIGXaTIOX aboused
France's failure to release German war
prleonersvalso has aroused the greatest
Indignation. w
Referring to the communique of tn
British admiralty to the eiiect tnai let
ters had been found on the salvaged
German cruiser Emden of the Sea pa
Flow fleet, showing Von Reuter was in
touch with his government at the time
he issued orders for the sinking, it was
stated semi-officially today that the Von
Reuter letter, as quoted by the British,
was based on the theory the ships were
interned and had not been delivered to
the allies.
Germany intended to use her Influence
at Versailles to prevent delivery of this
fleet, it was said. The admiralty de
clared the British statement omitted sen
tences from the letter which specifically
referred to the peace conference.
PBOFES8 TO BE GUILTLESS
"The text, as printed, showed us
guiltless." the admiralty statement here
declared. Von Reuter, according to the
admiralty, acted upon his own initiative
in sinking the ships after communication
with his government had been stopped.
He believed the armistice had been term
inated and therefore sank the vessels to
prevent their falling into the hands of
the enemy.
The German government plans to pub
lish the full text of all correspondence
It had with Von Reuter to show that the
British statement misrepresented the
facts, it was stated eeml -officially.
With hundreds of workmen cluster
ing about adjoining ways and cheering,
the last vessel of the Northwest Steel
company's present shipbuilding program
shllpped from Its cradle at 4:05 o'clock
Friday afternoon in a beautiful launch
ing. This, the thirty-ninth hull constructed
in the yard, was christened the Clauseus
by Mrs. Lewis H. Banks, wife of the
general works manager of the plant
The Clauseus' launching anchors stopped
the hull when it was 200 feet distant
from the log booms at the Inman
Poulsen mill across the river.
The Clauseus Is the last of the four
vessels purchased locally by the Green
Star company of New York and is
scheduled for delivery about the first of
the yeac- The Clauseus will load gen
eral cargo In Portland under manage
ment of the Columbia-Pacific Shipping
company.

assist aovernors of states In handling
industrial disturbances. Call for volun
teera would have to be made and hew
appropriations and taxes decided upon.
But, as said above, there Isn't going
to be any Intervention Just now.
Indeed, there is no reason to suppose
that congress really wants more war.
Of course the president's refusal to In
tervene In Mexico would enable the pro
ponents of Intervention to place the
blame for Inaction squarely on him
through talks with Individual members
of congress lead to the suspicion that if
the president suddenly put the matter
up to congress, that branch of the gov
ernment would hesitate to take the re
sponsibility.
ISSUE SIDE AFFAIB
It will be noted that notwithstand
ing all the talk of armed intervention,
the furthest distance that congress seems
willing to go is a simple withdrawal of
recognition and the severance of diplo
matic relations. .These steps have been
under consideration with the department
of state anyway and are not under
stood to be objectionable to the presi
dent. But the controversy over Mexico at
this time Is really a tempest in a tea
pot. It is a side affair. The real .ques
tion that has been Indirectly raised by
congress is whether or not the president
is incapable of performing public duties.
It will be remembered that some time
ago a mention was called In these col
umns to a campaign that has begun to
drive Wood row Wilson out of office be
fore bis term expired. He has been ill
two months. Most of the members of
the congress considerately declined to
be drawn ini.o any plan to declare the
president legally, unable to fulfill his
executive tasks. Most of them are not
parties to the plan of a group of ex
tremists. There Is a well defining feel
ing among many Republicans the some
of their colleagues are going too far in
baiting the president, and that a public
reaction may follow which may be po
litically disastrous.
WIL802T WITHHOLDS PLANS
As a matter of fact Senator Fall, who
sees the president in company- with
Senator Hitchcock, knows In advance
that Wilson does not agree with him on
the Mexican question. The president Is
well enough to sit In an armchair and
listen to the arguments of the New Mex
ico senator and to return as is his cus
tom a non-committal answer. It had
not been expected that he would divulge
to Senator Fall or any ether member of
the senate what his plans are with re
spect to Mexico but would communicate
his views In a message to both bouses of
congress.
While it is true that Secretary Lan
sing . has not consulted the president
about Mexico since his illness, it is also
true that memoranda on the situation
have been in Wilson's hands and that
the newspaper accounts of the text of
every note sent and full resolutions have
been read by the president. And his
Judgment is unquestionably the same as
It has heeq that while America has the
power and the resources to Jump on a
weak nation and punish for the acts of
a few governmental officials, the help
less million who would be drawn into
the strife, no such course of action
would at this time be taken by the man
who has been the outspoken champion
of weak nations.
8ITTJATIOIT IRRITATES
There is no doubt that the Mexican
situation has Irritated the president from
time to time, there is no doubt that at
this time he shares the outraged feel
Inge of the senate over the policy of
Mexico in the Jenkins case, but there
wert things happening during the war
with Germany which deserved armed In
tervention much more than today, and
it was deemed inexpedient for many
reasons to indulge in a war below the
Rio Grande. The condition is not much
changed. International affairs are in
a state of confusion due to the failure
of the senate to give the nation a peace
treaty and to help Europe to its' feet.
Germany la hesitating to approve the
protocol submitted by the allies, think
ing the senate action is in her interests.
Domestic affairs Inside the United
States are unsettled.- President Wilson
may be bitterly criticised for failure to
Intervene In Mexico at this time, but he
isn't going to Involve the country iu any
more wars at present at least until
America's own affairs are settled.

cumstances surrounding the death of
Maud Tabor, whose body was found In
a trunk in the basement of the Tabor

The story was told to Mrs. Tabor, she

Tabor, arrested in California.
"Maud died in her mother's arms,"-
Mrs. Tabor said. "The secret which I
have kept for three years was revealed
to me by Maud's mother and I reveal it
only because it is necessary to prove
ray husband is Innocent
"Maud died a natural death, according
to the story told me by my mother-in-law.
Childbirth, when a person Is 46

Maud died they hid the body to save the
