German Leader IntHnates
France and Russia Are
Not to be Feared
ENGLAND ALONE IS
RESPONSIBLE FOR WAR
Reading Between Lines Critic
Says II Shows Germany's
Desperation


New York, Dec. 22.-The most sig
nificent indication of the attitude Of
Germany's war leaders which has yet
come from the front, was contained to-
day IN Karl II. Won Wiegand's 3 inter-
view with Admiral Won Tirpitz
As frank declaration of the belief
that war was forced upon the kaiser,
the admiral's statement is even more
important than the same correspond
ent 3 recent interview with the German
crown prince.
In every essential the marine min
lister IS utterances constitute q warning,
born almost of desperation, to the Brit
ish.
The German leaders apparently hold
that neither France nor Russia is an
enemy to be feared, but that England
is the backbone Of the antiGerman
coalition.
Won Tirpitz expresses the fear that
the English may insist on fighting tae
war to finish His words suggest the
view that such an outcome would no
more beneficial I'd them than to any
of 5he beligerent peoples.
To compel England TO abandon its
desire for finish fight apparently is
the chief object Of German strategy.
The admiral speaks Of Germany 8
ability to continue the struggle as long
as the British desire, but his remarks
seem shaded by spirit Of despera-
tion.
Must TerroriSe England.
He hints strongly that If England
persists in fighting for an oyerwhelm-
ing decision, Germany will have to
protect itself regardless Of means, SIM
ply in accordance with the first law OF
nature.
The English must be terrorized into
reasonablcness, is Won Tirpitz's real
message to the world.
He defines how this can be done. He
wants to know what Americans would
say IL German submarines were ordered
to torpedo the British merchant ma
| rine.
II has been recognized as rule OF
molarn warfare that unarmed ships
cannot be sunk unless all souls ON
board are rescued.
Won Tirpit2s proposition, however,
is to engage in submarine raids against
these trading vessels, torpedoing them
as # they were -warships and sending
all souls to the bottom with them.

1919 it cost the county a total of $430
to have the books exported by local ac-
eountants and $l35 of this sum was
for work on old warrant lists of several

APPROVES MOVE
TRINITY ALUMNAE
President Few Heartily In Fa-
vor of Co. ordinate College
For Women
Especial to The News and Cbserver.1

Durham, May 23.-Dr. W. +. Few,
president of Trinity College. has given
one the following statement express
ing his approval of the effort to raise
money for the proposed coordinate
college for women at Trinity:
"Since 1897. when Mr.. Washington
Duke made his first gift TO the en-
dowment fund of Trinity College and
accompanied the gift with a request
to the trustees that the opportunities
offered at Trinity be made available
for women there has been a Steadlly
growing demand or the part Of young
women for admission to the college.
Our present accommodation for th~m
are wholly inadequate, n adequate
provision for women who wish TO
come here is the 0 immediate
need of the college today.
w must go forward, we can not
go backward. The type Of woman
sent out. from Trinity is one of the
two or three most significant contri-
buttons the college has ever made to
higher education. To be forced to
exclude women because we are not
prepared to care for them would
mount in its practical effects to be-
ing unfaithful to a sacred trust and
r~epudiating every diploma the college
has ever conferred upon a woman
THE alumnae are now engaged in
an effort to raise money for building
a coordina. college for women al
Trinity, where women may have
equal opportunities for education
along with a distinct college life OF
their own. With a small outlay OF
money for classrOoms and dormitories
the entire plant at Trinity may be
made available for women
The alumnae deserve every en-.
couragement. They enter upon TIL:
undertaking with full determination
/ commend it to every Trinity man, tt
every friend of the college and Of edu
cation"

USE STEAM AS FERTILIZER
English Farmers Find 1t Increase
FERTILITY.

For some time certain growers of
tomatoes. cucumbers and similar
vegetables for the London market have
been injecting steam into the soil with
a view to destroying certain insects
and bugs.
1t is rpOrted that the plan works
very we'll for that but the
operation brought to light an unex-
pected fact-namely, thai the soil
thus treated increased greatly in fer
tlEty, SO greatly, in fact, tha the
Ordlnary noun of manure cannot
be used afterward.
This effect has been explained as
being due to the sterilization produced
by the steam, which kills the ohagocy-
tes or protooa which in ordinary cir
cumstances keep down the number of
bacteria IN the soil whose operations
are beneficent IN turning orean;c III

SENSE OF SMELL
Enables Engine Driver to Avoid a
Collision.

The sense Of smell which enables
an engine drivr to avoid q collision
or a sailor to ster clear of iceberg
is the last cultivated of our senses.
But with a properly equipped nose
and a little practice, we ought to be
able to tell where we are blindfold
all over London, for e~verylocality has
its distinct odor. Soho smells differ
ent from Southwark; Billings < diff
fers from Limehouse; RotEerhite has
quite a special sn ell Of it's own, and
Barking is absolutely unique.
But there is a mystery about Lon
don smells which any one can test
for himself. Why nave the tube rail
ways distinct smells and the steam
railways not? Why can you distin-
guish between the Contra! London
and the Bakerloo, but not between
the Southeastern and, say, the Mid
land? Is it ventilation or the want I
it, disinfectants, artificial ozone, or
what is it hat makes their difference
