BERLIN, April 11. ( Wireless to Tuekerton, copyrighted) Germany can go no further In Its submarine concessions to America, Admiral von Holtxendorff, chief of the admiralty staff, declared in an Interview with the United Press today. "We have no desire to break with the United States," he said. "That would be Insanity. We shall not bring It about despite our desire to push vigorously our submarine warfare. Many submarines have sighted scores of passenger ships between England and America. None has been touch ed, although we knew that every one carried munitions for the allies. We have definitely agreed to warn the crews and passengers on liners and we have lived up to our promise in every way. We cannot be asked to regard freighters In the same man ner. We could have destroyed hun dred of thousands of tons of enemy ship except for the promises we gave America." He admitted that Borne submarines had Iwen lost since March 1st. "Five months more will see what we can do with the British shipping. The ring around England -will grow tighter. Then we will see whether Kngland will still maintain that It cannot make peace until Germany has been destroyed. We are not go ing to torpedo and we have not tor pedoed without warning any neutral ship, despite reports that the enemy is spreading. our submarines have respected them all. We have sighted scores In the North sea, the English chant.tl mid the Atlantic. If diplo matic relations with America are bro ken our submarines can attack any enemy ship without warning. If Eng land boasts mastership of the sea and rule of the waves, she must ac. cept the responsibility, not flermany. "During March more than 200,000 ton? of shipping were destroyed." During the entire Interview, he sat erect In a leather chair, his eyes di rectly on the Interviewer and his re marks coming suddenly with n punch like shots from a cannon.

Wilson's note, demanding a cessation of Germany'! submarine campaign was printed to day. The day being Good Friday made It impossible to obtain an ex pression of opinion from the foreign office. A reply is unlikely before the end of next week. Bankers and mer chants and the heads of government departments probably will be sum moned In conference over a reply. Newspapers almost unanimously declared that Germany will not yield, though most of them expressed the opinion that a diplomatic break will not result. The Vossische Zeitung predicted that congress will prevent a breach. The Tages Zeitung said; "Germany Million Pounds Crossbred Wool Sold at 30 and 31 Cents in Idaho That Idaho cross bred wool has been selling in large quantities at 30 and 31 1-2 cents is the substance of a message received here today by Senator J.

The motions were filed this after noon. The indictments show that a Gladys Goff appeared before thj grand jury as a witness.

Undiscovered Stars to Shine at Elks Show Here Next Week It can be stated authoritatively at this time that there is no tttith in' the rumor that the principal in the; Elks show, "A Night in Bohemia"' have signed up with a big movie 511m company at fabulous salaries to take : leading roles next season. While til was not denied that a strange man. I believed to be the reprejei.tative of! such company, had been watching re hearsals and had made tentative in quiries."

What should havei been said Is this: A glance it thi program for the first muni one! glance will do for both nights for that matter as the first will be re peated en the second shows that never before, under one canvas, hasi will not yield to Wilson's bluff. The attitude of the American press is in comical contract to the really effect, ive power in that country. When the sword of Damocles remains suspended too long. It can see it is only a wood en one." The Berlin Post said; "We have heard enough of silly reproaches. The people at the White House are terribly mistaken if they believe we have nothing more important to do than to investigate whether any cattle driver had a lock of his precious hair ruf fled while crossing to Europe. Should Germany climb down, serious trouble is bound to come from within. Ger many's leaders prefer that trouble come from without. wools. Buyers very active on cross breds this week. S. W. McCLURR The price of 27 1-2 cents is the highest yet paid for Umatilla county crossbred wool and .hence the con tracting price here has been two or three cents under the price just paid in Idaho. A recent sale here was that of the William Slusher wool which waa sold to Ross of Echo. The price was not made public but it is known to be lower than the figures paid for the Idaho clips. IBernstroff in Trap of His Own Making, is Report GERMAN AMHASSADOR MAY GET PASSPORTS BECAUSE OP PART IN PLOT. WASHINGTON. April 21. It is be lieved that Bernstorff has been caught in a trap from which he can not escape. Washington has con cluded that Bernstorff faces the ne cessity of admitting improper aetivi- ties or having the facts proved against him with the papers taken from Von U;el who was arrested in New York on bomb plot charges. It was freely predicted that Bernstorff might re ceive his passports for reasons in dtpenden of the submarine contra ct rsy. It is known that the cabinet has considered the situation. How seri-! oualy Bernstorff has viewed this was,! shown when eight demands were made for the return of Von Igel's papers. photographic copies of which were t.ken.

Pershing withdrew his adranc- ed detachments of the American expedition to prevent a possible massacre at the hands of Car- ranzUrtas, headquarters stated. 4 The expedition is stalled Fa- 4 ture activities will depend upon 4 the conference between Funston and Scott. Pershing's latest ad- 4 vices detailed the Carranalata attitude. Its contents were not revealed. CHIHUAHUA. April 21 The ex humed body proved not to be Villas, advices today stated. Consul Letch er's reports asserted that Villa, un wounded, is in Durango. The gener al here announced that he had re ceived an order prohibiting Ameri can aviators from flying over cities and barring the American expedition from using the telegraphs and tele taeaes csarraaxistas and cttlsene fired a volley at an aviator Wednes day while apparently attempting to land here. He later flew toward San Antonio. The resentment of the sol diers and the populace against the continued presence of the expedition has become so general that Carran xistas declare they will be unable to control the people unless the troops are withdrawn. Letcher reported that the fight at Parral was not an Iso lated case. Other attacks are believed to have occurred. Gutierrez said that he always considered the report of Villa's death as unfounded. Letcher's reports said that Villa probably was not in the Guerrero battle. Newspapers here already have .an nounced the early retirement of the American expedition. One printed a Washington dispatch saying that the United States had declared war on Germany and needed the forces to fight the Germans. Another article stated that Lansing was studying plans for an early withdrawal and gave Carranza the credit ror halting the Americans. The concentration of Carranxistas south of Parral apparently was for the purpose of opposing Americans In an attempt to march southward. Her rera was instructed to inform the Americans that they must not ad vance beyond Parral. The garrison there has been reinforced. Thousands of American cavalrymen have con centrated 10 miles north. When news paper correspondents arrived from Juarez a mob of Mexican boys pelted them with stones. Gutierrez arrested the ringleaders. Lieutenant Castro said that the Mexican soldiers already were murmuring against the expedi tion. When the feeling spreads to the officers It is likely to result In open hostility.
