As soon as the committee of which Miss Caroline Baldwin is chairman, secures this necessary information, it will call on the Main street merchants and talk over the proposition with the merchants themselves. There are several things which must be consid ered in the window boxes and in the hanging baskets as well, and in order to have the display uniform, one style will be adopted. No special flower has been selected for the baskets. Some of the mer chants who have planned window boxes are following the example of other cities and are using geraniums. It 1b understood that these are not the most suitable plants for such use, and something better may be substi tuted. The window box idea seems to have taken in Keokuk and there are sev eral boxes of blooms already appear ing in the windows of various build ings, both on Main street and the side streets. FRANTIC APPEALS FOR GERMAN PAPERS (Continued from page 1.) fession of Baron Horst Ven Der Goltz made pirbllc in London. Several persons, new "to the con spiracy, are mentioned by name and several others are designated by their positions at the time of the plot activities. United States District At torney Marshall now has Von Der Goltz at Ellis Island and is believed to have secured from him a great deal more information than is con tained in the confession made public by the British. This will be at the disposal of fed eral authorities in Buffalo, Chicago, St. Paul, and El Paso, cities whose consuls from Germany, were identi fied with the plots according to the confession. Ambassador In Trap. "WASHINGTON, April -21.—Ambas sador Von Bernstorff has been caught in a trap from which he cannot es cape, if Washington's interpretation of the last few day's developments ia correct. Washington has came to the conclusion that the German embassy faces the necessity of admitting im proper activities, or having the fact proved against it. Whether Count Von Bernstorff can show Washington is wrong, remains to be seen. Papers taken from the offices of Wolf Von Igel, confidential secretary of Captain Von Papen and himself, accredited to the embassy, form the principal basis for the belief. The confession of Horst Von Der Goltz in London, a copy of which is in Washington, forms another important element. The situation was considered by the president's cabinet today. It has been considered the past few days by the justice department and state de partment. How Berlously the em bassy has considered it was shown by demand made on the state depart ment today for return of papers and all photo evidence concerning them, to the embassy. Predictions were made freely today that Ambassador Von Bernstorff might be given his passports for reasons independent of the submarine controversy. One view, however, entertained at "the cabinet meeting was that this country's position in the matter of submarine warfare should be kept free from other questions Involving activities of the German ambassador. It would be unfortunate to have the latter matter come to a head, some officials believe, while the submarine controversy is pending. The trap into which some official profess to see Bernstorff caught, re sults in his desire to reclaim the Von Igel documents as embassy pa pers and yet not officially admit any thing as his own embassy's that would prove knowledge on his own part of improper activities. It is probable the papers will be returned to him after the state de-!ranzaforeigners partment and the department of 'justice have finished with them. A course considered and understood to be practically decided on Is to insist that Von Bernstorff identify such papers as are embassy property. If the embassy should refuse all papers Involving criminal propaganda# this government would be free to use them without reservation of any sort. TTie Von Igel papers with the evidence obtained from Horst Von Der Goltz are believed to show that Captain Von Papen and Captain Boy Ed were not their own high court in I the United States. Attention was called to the emphasis placed in the Von Der Goltz statement on the ques tion that Von Bernstorff personally plans to invade Canada. Still Hold the Papers. NEW YORK, April 21.—All of the originals of the papers seized in the office of Wolf Von Igel, former secre tary to Captain i-Yanz Von Papen, when hs was arrested Tuewday on an .13: '-F THE DAILY GATE CITY Dandruff Soon Ruins The Hair Girls—if you want plenty of thick, beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all means get rid of dandruff, for it will starve your hair and ruin it if you don't.

An order from United States Attorney (general Gregory Is the only order upon which District Attorney Marshall will give them up. With this positive announcement today, the situation surrounding the arrest of Von Igel and th® seizure of his papers took on a grave interna tional significance, because of the strenuous efforts of the German am bassador, Von Bernstorff, to have the papers restored, representing that they are embassy papers and there fore inviolate. Should the papers disclose criminal conspiracy, it is held, that in view of Von Bernstorff's request, this would show that the German embassy had official knowledge of the conspiracy. Among the papers are code books. They axe being translated. Photo graphs of the more important docu ments have been forwarded to Wash ington.

However, Gutierrez is under stood to be permitting provisions to be shipped "from Parral to the Amer ican camp at Santa Crux De Vlesca, These are transported to the suburbs of ParraJ where American army wagons meet them. Prevented Massacre. SAN ANTONIO, Texas, April 21.— General Pershing withdrew his ad vanced detachments to save them from possible massacre, according to staff officers at General Funston's headquarters today. Pershing's lat est advi-ces have not been entirely given out, but were said to contain details of the attitude shown by Car ranzista troops toward the American expedition chasing Villa. Funston's staff officers having prepared a re port for Chief of Staff Hugh L. Scott, would not reveal the exact na ture ot incidents on which their dec laration was baBed. But they agreed the Americans fell back from the Parral region only when a plan to wipe them out became evident. The expedition was practically stalled today, it was understood here. Future activities depend on the con ference of General Scott'and General Funston In which General Funston is expected to urge the adoption of rec ommendations in his survey of the situation. No reports had been re ceived from General Pershing for twelve hoars. Four New Aeroplanes. COLUMBUS, N. M..

Only two of the original eight machines which entered Mexico are still in commission and they will be condemned immediately after new mounts arrive for the air- Will Deport Foreigners. [By E. T.

Consul Garcia to day announced that the de facto gov ernment has revived an old organiza tion calling on officials to report the names of all foreigners who have been antagonistic to Carranza. They will be deported. Garcia also made public a message from War Minister Obregon, express ing the hope that "our national and international difficulties soon will be overcome."

If the people accept this repudiation of silver and paper as legal tender, it is believed the de facto government may survive. Disquieting Situation. [By Carl D. Groat, United Press Staff Correspondent.] WASHINGTON, April 21.—'What Carranzista troops, now moving south from Chihuahua, intend to do, is the big, outstanding element of the Mexican situation today. Privately, officials admitted the situation is, to say the least, dis quieting. The Carranzistas are not sufficiently strong to cause serious trouble, but their ranks may grow as they proceed. Apparently, they de sire to check any further southward move of General Pershing's riders. But Pershing is not in a position now to move much further below his present location, inasmuch as his communication lines have been stretched until their elasticity Is ^Authorities still believe the Car ranzistas are co-operating or at least acquiescing in American movements in Mexico. The troop movement from Chihuahua, though, is evidently a step over which the government had no control. For this reason it is the graver. Officials feel the American column can gave a good account of itself, even against extremely great odds but the administration frankly hopes no such test may be necessary. The cabinet considered the mes sage telling of the Chihuahua step as well as other reports of recent activities. No withdrawal was planned until General Scott, chief of staff, reports. RUSSIAN TROOPS SENT TO FRANCE Explanation fa That it Was Done to Support Conecripttonleta of England. [By W. T. Mason. Written for the United Press.] NEW YORK, April 21.—The land ing of Russian troops In France to participate in the fighting along the western front, is probably an effort to support the out and out conscrip tionists in England. Russia cannot spare a sufficient force from her own 'battle fronts to cause any material change in the military situation in France. But even a small body of Slavs con tributed to France must exert a pow erful moral influence in Great Britain at a time when the British ministry is threatening to break up over the question of impressing more men for the French front Since the Beginning of the Verdun offensive the British have assisted the French by taking over the west ern front from Arras to the Somme. This has released probably 100,000 French troops for operations at Ver dun, but there has been no actual help extended by the British army so far as known. The reason for this, probably, is that the present number of British soldiers under arms does not permit an extension of the Brit ish front beyond its present length. To contribute still farther to the al lies' military strength in the western area. Great Britain must have more men. The appearance of Russians in France emphasizes the difficulties the British government is experiencing in keeping up its reserves. Late Market .Quotation Sheep market nominal.
