-ACCEPTS BERLINS PLEDGE U. S. WILL TAKE NO ACTIOX UNLESS IT IS VIOLATED. Pinal Decision in the Future.?Au/ thoritatively Stated That German Answer Will Serve it' Fulfilled. ife. Washington, May 5.?Germany's note has postponed, if it actually has not averted, a diplomatic break with the United States. President Wilson will make the de -i x 1 cision after he has received me uificial text, which reached the State department late tonight by cable from Berlin. It will be decoded in time to lay it before the president tomorrow morning. It was stated authoritatively afSiSS ter the cabinet meeting today that if the official text bore out the unofV " flcial version transmitted in toEM'* f day's Berlin news dispatches, Germany's assurance undoubtedly would be accepted and before taking another step the United States would await the fulfillment of her latest promises. In such case the United States might not reply to the note and would await evidence of the abanf-l' \ donment of Germany's present practices of submarine warfare which is ffk declared. President Wilson is deV' scribed by those close about him as being in a position where he cannot question the good faith of Germany's 1?,^ assurances which must stand or fall t--. by the future conduct of her subma|?? rine commanders. All That is Asked. The German embassy view is that b': the note gives all President Wilson W" asked for; that it signalizes a return :v to "cruiser warfare"?the use of submarines as regular naval cruisers r Intercepting commerce with visit and search, and that inasmuch , as it makes no mention of the armed ship 1 question that perplexing feature of . the controversy is not involved. Congress took the note quietly and 1 although members expressed a variety of views, the general sentiment seemed to be in favor of leaving the situation in the hands of the president. On the surface there was no sign of activity in the group which has been working to prevent the presIdent from pressing the situation to : j : r: the point of a diplomatic rupture. Italfe''' j Left to Future. B|p'v, Cabinet members went over the un\) official text carefully with the presi- ' fe. dent and while they uniformly reHfet fused to discuss it, they reflected the Ifc.. ' view that a break has been averted; jpi . that Germany's new assurances would - be accoTded the test of time, notwithg-v-'' standing the reference to the action fe':. Germany expects the United States ' Ip!: to take against Great Britain's re- | straints on neutral trade. They expressed this view with full realization of the differences of opinion on what constitutes a peaceful merchant IpVi * ahip entitled to the protection of inKlfeT. ternational law and of the president's fejp* steadfast determination not to per* mit the interests of the United States S^vv^^with one of the belligerents to be- . BglV* come entangled with those of another. pjf;' The United States only recently, ] SP^' declaring its views on the rights of |fe\- merchant ships on the high seas, recgfe ognized and provided for the condition under which Germany charges hMKv British merchant ships, by orders of the British admiralty, actually are IP": ' acting as naval war vessels in attacking submarines. Another Open Point. Germany in her note "reserves r . comDlete libertv of decision" should vN ; - the United States fail to prevail upon Great Britain to bring her practice fe y into conformity with international law. The official view is that the United States for some time has been gk ' and now is conducting diplomatic correspondence with Great Britain on that subject and the success or failtire of the negotiations and Ger^ . many's consequent action must necessarily remain for the future. The United States does not know how Germany's new instructions to i submarine commanders compare with previous instructions which were given at the behest of President Wilson. < Secretary Lansing stated today that it was possible the State department might ask for official copies of the original orders. The new orders, however, apparently are regarded as meeting the president's demand for a declaration and abandonment of the present practices of submarine warfare. Officials seem agreed that the president's demand that Germany m , also "effect" such an abandonment only could be answered by time. Difference of View. Under such circumstances one set ,of officials feel the threatened break fig. will not com? at this time; anothe. set is convinced that Germany's apparent determination to make the fulfillment of her promises conditional upon the success of the president's negotiations with Great Britain warrants the severance of diplomatic rer lations. , At the State department, after the | situation had been thoroughly discussed at the cabinet meeting, it was * \ y; 4 * SWEET POTATO DISEASES. Som? Timely Pointers Wliich Should In Be Kept in Mind at Bedding Time. As the time approaches for bedding sweet potatoes the wav tli in which some of the more trouble- tli some of the sweet potato diseases get cc into the field and spread should be fa kept in mind. tr Black rot of sweet potato which is sc probably the most common of the oi sweet potato diseases lives over win- in ter on the potatoes in the form or oi small black or dark colored blotches in or spots on the surface. Where pota- tc toes affected with this trouble are used for seed the disease gets into the m sprouts that come from these and is ? carried directly into the field. Here 7! the disease attacks the roots and the Sj potatoes and after causing consider- b< able damage is brought back again tc into the banks or storage houses the ei next fall. Potatoes used for seed w should be free from this disease. h There are several other diseases of tl sweet potatoes that can be detected pi on the seed ahd that spread in exact- Pj ly the same way that the black rot m does. In picking out potatoes for m seed these should be looked for and gi wherever found the seed affected si with them should be discarded or if ic 1 5 ~ j f v* ax* hi C163.il S66U CailUUl uc sctuicu mcj " should be treated with formalin solu- T tion as indicated above. These dis- tt eases live on the tubers and roots G but do not attack the vines so where oi potatoes are grown later in the sea- fc son from cuttings from vines the dis- tt ease would not be present. This is the reason why potatoes grown from tt vines keep better than those grown in from slips., It is well to grow seed E potatoes for next year in this way tv from cuttings made from the vines. P* in Cotton First to Discount Peace? pg in With the war entering the third w< cotton season, the trade is speculat- st ing on the effects of the end of hos- hi tilities on cotton prices. T< "What amount of cotton will Ger- is] many and Austria take?" It has pc been asserted that Germany has con- CI trol of a large part of the Southern ed holdings but if she really had op- ed tions on any large quantity the fact M could scarcely be concealed from the br trade. In the past the central em- wj pires have taken approximately 3,- T1 000,000 bales of American cotton an- is uually. . It is roughly estimated that be since the war commenced,-Germany pa has obtained through Scandinavian iti nations and direct shipments per- di mitted early in the war?2,500,000 Fi bales. To this might be added about de 300,000 bales seized in Belgium, Po- it; land and northern France. In Au- til gust of this year the central empires pe should be behind about 3,000,000 ye bales. Austria, in particular, is in is wnpfni nppd. From time to time the re Red Cross has sent out urgent pleas a\> for cotton necessaries in hospital th work. ce Cotton men think their market will be the first to discount peace and ar this they believe will occur perhaps pi six months before actual negotiations 14 begin. ti< In view of Germany's great need, h< it is argued that English cotton in- M terests will obtain all they can of the lie staple before peace is declared. If pa this latter argument, which is used gT by many in the trade, is correct, tr; peace is not on the tapis at the mo- of ment for Liverpool general stocks w] are but 910,000 bales against 1,467,- pa 000 for the same period a year ago. in Afloat for Liverpooltjiere are 182,- th 000 baTes against ??8,000 at the fo same time in 1915.?Wall Street vc Journal. * di w Giving Her Something to Do. ? in Not far from Bath a certain villager went to a lady, says the Philadelphia Ledger, who kept poultry, to purchase a setting of eggs. The lady, not having many on hand, inquired: le 1 J 1 O' > Cif "Have you got your Droouy ueu: ^ "Well, no," replied the villager, th "but our old hen has broken her leg, ci and I thought she might as well al: spend her time hatching out some of eggs as sit about doing nothing." th ? b( stated that because of the length of gj the note the time required for digest- th ing it carefully and the necessity of th having at hand the official text for Cc the preservation of all shades of as meaning which might be obscured in h( translation or in wireless transmis- hi sion, it practically was certain that sa the president would not reach his de- et cision before next week. "( Out of it all two things were made a( clear. They were that the United to States still holds firmly to its deter- si mination that "mistakes" of subma- g< rine commanders are not admissible; pi that they are unforgivable, and that tl the United States must continue to m regard a discussion of the conduct of It other belligerents as irrelevant to its fc discussion of Germany's conduct. re While the tone of the German note m was said to be disappointing, most of- in ficials expressed the view that after is all the language was immaterial if ai the assurances were all that had been tt asked for. Ir MANUFACTURE OF PAPER. Ldispensible Commodity Often Subject to Handicap. From time to time, almost from ie very earliest days of the war, lere has arisen in many European >untries a shortage of paper. Many ,ctors, often unlooked for, have con'U..4-/S J 4- /N V\ v? i nr + Vl 1 o men 11 O IU UICU IU Ui uig auuui Uiio i a :arcity of labor, the increased cost ? shipping freights, and deficiency i the supply of the many and vari- j is ingredients which go to the mak-| g of paper, in all its many forms of i day. A story is told of how, something ore than eleven.hundred years ago -to be precise it was in the year 51?a Chinese force marched in imarkand, which for some years had sen occupied by the Arabs, thinking ) take the city and expel the intrudr. The Arab governor, however, as an able general, and marshaled is men well. He not only repelled le invasion, but took up a vigorous ursuit of the invaders. He captured risoners. Amongst them he -found ten who were skilled in the art of Laking paper, and that was the beinning of it. The craft quickly )read throughout the Arab domin>ns and, in1 process of time, trade rought the products to Greece, heophilus, writing about that lat time, speaks of the paper as reek parchment, and there is a rec-\ rd that the Empress Irene used it >r the. framing of certain rules for le nuns of Constantinople. It was only the paper, however, lat came, and not the art of makig it. This was first introduced into urope by the Moors, also about the ^elfth century. They had a great irt of Spain in those days, and the dustry quickly grew. It was good iper, "cloth parchment" it is styled the laws of Alfonso, of 1263, and ell styled, for it was stout of subance, and could withstand much trd use. At Xativa, iValencia and / jledo the industry grew and flourbed until the fall of the Moorish >wer. And then came a chance. The iristian conquerors were less skill1, and the great industry deteriorat1, both as to quality and quantity, eanwhile, however, the Arabs had ought their knowledge of the craft ith them when they invaded Sicily, le oldest known document on paper a deed of King Roger, of Sicily, jaring the date 1102. From Sicily tper making ultimately spread to aly, and there it became a great inistry. From Italy it extended to -ance and Germany. In 1297 Pace > Fabriano was making paper in aly, from rags and flax, and, a short ne afterwards, regular mills aplared in Padua and Treviso. Ninety sars or so later, the famous Stromer setting up his paper mills in Numburg, and taking an oath, of truly yesome solemnity, from his men at they will keep secret his prosses. And then the art reached England, id, in Wynkyn de Worde's "De oprietatibus Rerum," printed in :95 at Caxton's Press, we'find men)n of a paper mill at Stevenage in srtfordshire, kept by one John Tate, aster Spielman, with his ten years' :ense from Queen Elizabeth to make iper at Rartford in Kent, is the next eat figure in the English paper ade, and so on to the establishment the famous mill at Maidstone, here John Watman turned out his iper in and around the year 1760. . 1799 came machinery, and, from e small mill at Bovmoore in Hertrdshire, where Fourdrinier, the inrntor, first set up his plant, the inlstry spread all over the country, ith the repeal of the paper duty, 1860, the long story of paper makg reaches our own times.?Chrisin Science Monitor. Making a Farce of Efficiency. It was right for the Dartmouth Colge teacher to talk frankly to the udents of the university regarding ie use and abuse of the word "effiency."
