ENGLAND BLAMED FOR
 FRANCE-CERMAN WAR
Berlin Papers Laud SMftness Of
 German Advance Into Brussels.

Berlin, via Copenhagen and Lon- don, Aug. 22, s:45 a. m.--A laconlc despatch of seven words announcing the entry of the Germans into Brus- sels is the only news regarding the occupation of the Belgian capital yet published here. The military author ities are contenting themselves with a brevity of announcement surpassing that said to have been employed by the late Field Marshal von Moltke.
 The Berlin papers express admira- tion for the swiftness of the German advance, but make no comment on the German tactics. They occupy themselves almost solely With the cor respondence between Prince Henry of Prussia, King George and Emperor William, which was exchanged just before war was declared and was pub- lished for the first time yesterday
 Papers Exoneratc Germany.
 The papers are unanimous in the opinion that these documents, with the despatches exchanged by the em- peror of Russia and the German en- peror, prove completely that Ger many, until the last moment, sought her utmost to maintain peace with Russia and France.
 Germany. it is declared, desired to prevent war with France and sought only a guarantee of French neutral ity. England, however, refused to help in obtaining such a guarantee. and therefore, it is reasoned, England in the first place was the cause of the war between France and Germany.
 Strict Orders Issued.
 The Japanese charge d'affaires is still in Berlin. The commandant Of lsace-Lorraine, declaring that trait ors have tried to use the telephone lines, has issued orders that any per- sons found making improper use of the telephones shall be immediately shot.
 Two more French guns have been brought to Strassburg.
 The American ambassador, James W. Gerard, publishes in the news papers a denial of reports that Amer jeans have been ill-treated in Ger many. He states that some few were arrested during the first days of the war, but adds that such mishaps are almost unavoidable during big wars and that in all cases those arrested were speedily liberated
 Americans We'll Treated.
 Americans in Germany" says the ambassador, "enjoy as great security as they do in America. The populace is extremely courteous and the gov

COLLEGE ROMANCE

Mrs Caroline Quigley, mother of the groom, and Mayor Quigley will be the only rela- the wedding, but the brides family will be present.
 The ceremony will be a quiet one for a wedding trip across the Great Lakes. They will then go to Fargo, North Dakota, where MT. Quigley has a position as professor of math ematics at the High school
 The approaching nuptials mark the continuation of pretty college romance. Meeting Miss Parmely when he was a freshman at Valparaiso, Indiana, six years ago, MT. Quigley at once fell a victim to one of Cupid's darts and the chubby little fellows aim was equally accurate when he shot his barbed arrow at the young lady. Miss Parmely then left this school and was graduated from the New England Conservatory of Music at Boston. MT. Quigley was graduat- ed from Indiana university with the class of 1912 and since then has been teaching in the west, but in the mean fir,,n fri iy,fo next weeks wedding is the result.

WEED DESTRUCTION ON SUGAR CANE
PLANTATIONS,
By Walter f. Sutherst, Phi. D., FlC.
Field Chemist, OIaa Sugar Co, Ltd. Ha~
w8ii, I. H.

The destructive effect of weeds on any
crop is too we'll known to require deactlpilon,
but nm account of experiments Tor tuelr de-
etr1ction is welcomed everywhere, more eape-
cjaIly where economical methods other IMAM
loe,nu have been tried and found successful.
Fo, this reason the writer wishes to make
known the results of experiments carried ont
IN HAWAII on the 0laa Sugar Companys
Plantation to all cane growers OF planters Oh
other crops.
The Olaa cane fields, being situated ON the
weather side Of Hawaii, receive a ralhlaH OF
15O inches or more yearly,s so that the ground
is everywhere covered with a thick mating
If weeds. Since within u few days u cane
field when hoed is just as full OF weeds rs
before, the necessity Of some method oiher
than boaing struck the writer us BENG Io-
ouircd for their successful removal.
A number of herbicides were tired, ferrous
eulphate, copper sulphate, and finally sodium
arseuite, these three having been proved
elsewhere to be the most successful. Various
STRENGTHS OF these solutions were sprayed on
trial plots, but it was found that even Win
very hieh concentrations, copper ana iron
sulDbates we're practically useless except on
very Young weeds, and that, moreover tle
bioh cost Of these chemlcals prevents 'nti
economical use. With sodium arsemte lar
better results were obtained, and the most
satisfactory solution was made by boiling .
lbs. of white arsenic and | ID. OF caustlc SODA
in about 8 gallons Of water, for 10 minutes
and diluting this to 200 gallons. wan the
arsenite Aerbicide, every kind OF weed was
killed with one application; but where 'h9
weeds are very thick aud matted, a second
onnlication a few days after the hrst, Wnfu
NE upper parts are destroyed, IS essential
for complete destruction. For broadcast
spraying such as on coffee or other tree plan
tations, any of the sprayers in
can be used while for using between cane
rows an ingenious apparatus has been deylS'
ed by Mr.. G. F.. Eckart, Manager of the
Olas Plantation, which consists OF a lo"
sledge on which is placed a 26-5o gallon
drum, attached to an air pump and spray

dos Ola Crop, I'D. to $50. Nevis New Crop,
1871 to 21& St Kits New Crop l74a to -Qd,
with a few supertine bags 22d. to 224d.
The chief demand is for ineness Of staple,
thus confirming the advice which we some
TINS age gave to planters to breed Tor fine
ness. All the coarser varieties have TO como
into competition with Carolina Sea Island, Of
which there is Il large crop,and which is sell
ing at prices from I'D to I'D, aud will
therefore be- more difficult of sale.
Planters will be advised if they ship their
cotton in crop lots and not in odd bales per
each steamer. Spinners purchasing 8 baIes
or over, take notice of the marks and come
for the cotton again, whereas, il they Pur-
chase odd bags they expect more irfegu1ali-
ty and consequently make lower offers fer
