-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

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*

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

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

: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

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,

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."
He said that what was in reity
a good thing was in grave danger
' being turned into a farce. He said
at tens of thousands of dollars were
fing wasted in the experiment of eniging
and dismissing employees on
ie strength of their complexion and
le facial curves of their faces. That
