Concerning investments.

THE ambassador proceeded that he
wished 10 correct an impression about
the attitude of the United States govern
states in Central America with volcanic
tendencies. lie sometimes read that the
United States was entering upon a policy
10 discourage foreign investments. There
was policy forming in the mind of the
American government, which was not
new. that would discourage such invest
ments or such concessions as would carry
with them control of the government Of
any OF those states. and only that.
1T was not the business of the United
States TO put any let or hindrance upon
any investments anywhere I'm the world
provided only that the investments were
not made so that they took the country
with them.
THE Monroe Doctrine meant only that
10 European government should gain any

expenditures of American tourists, etc.
He said:
You complain OF our rapacity, but
you take our money. e.. You show
yourselves shrewd traders, for we get
only little English history in broken
pieces for all our expenditure
In concluding, the ambassador said
that. next to free government, which had
its birth in the United Kingdom, the
greatest fact in the whole world was the
colossal structure Of British commerce.

Vaterland Sinks Two Barges,

New York, May 26. The great steam
ship Vaterland, which took nearly four
hours to dock when she came to this
port on her maiden voyage recently,
sank two coal barges as she steamed
out of her berth today.
Backing out under her own steam,
her momentum carried her across the
Hudson and she slipped in between two
piers where the coal barges, carrying
500 tons of coal each, We're tied. Both
ban ges went down almost at once, but
no lives We're l3st.
The Vaterland cut her way into the
slip almost to the shore and in backing
out the water, churned by her screws,
snapped the lines which held two Nor
gan liners. These vessels crashed
against the sides of the pier, damaging
their rails and wo dwork.
The Vaterand did not let the mishaT
delay her voyage and soon passed dowr
the bay. There was considerable eX
element on board. The damage al
told was estimated at SIS, 600.

NEW CUNARD STEAMSHIP BUILT
ON SAFETY LINES.

New York, May 26.-When the Gu
nard Steamship company's new ship
Aquitania reaches here June 5 from the
Mersey persons familiar with ocean
giants will remark upon her graceful
lines as compared with those of her pre-
decessors. Her sheer is much more
pronounced than is that of the Lusitania
or the Mauritania. In consequence the
superstructure does not have the same
suggestion as in the other vessels. Her
quarters, too, are much handsomer.
With her greater length-90l feet as
compared with 100 feet of the steam
ships of the same line-a more symmet-
rical alignment of the superstructure
has been accomplished. Completed for
the sea, the value of the new vessel is
approximately SO, 375, 900, and she is in
sured in London and Glasgow for
81, 600, 600. the remainder of the risk
being borne by the Cunard line itself.
The Aquitania is a 23-knot boat and
is expected to make the crossing from
Queenstown to Sandy Hook in five days,
or - hours more than the scheduled
time of the fastest boats.
The trouble with the Lusitania and
the Mauretania has always been that
they are either too fast or too slow. If
they get here on Thursday night it is
generally too late to dock them, and if
they arrive early Friday morning they
still have to wait in Quarantine before
clearance by the health officer
The estimated coal consumption of
the Aquitana is like that of the Lusi-
tania and Mauretania, 1900 tons a day
Her engineers are Of the opinion that,
although the new boat is much larger
than the older vessels, AZ, 600 tons gross
as against $4,000 tons gross, the de-
crease in the speed will set off the in
crease in bulk. In the internal fittings
of the Aquitania many new features
are to be found, and many of the luxur-
les of first-class travel has Leen extend
ed to second-class passengers.
Not only has the Aquitania watertight
compartments fore and aft, and
athwartwise, but her emergency equip
ment is complete and up-to-date.

the two motor boats, equipped with

for depot ships for the hotille of life.

motor boats will carry $50 miles. These

ROOSEVELT BACK IN WASH
INGTON.

Washington, May 26. Former Presi-
dent Roosevelt came back today to the
national capital where he spent several
years as chief executive. Into nine hours
he crowded a speech on his South Amer
lean expedition, a call on President
Wilson, political conference of first
Importance with the progressiyos in
Congress, visit to the Smithsonian
Institution to see the trophies from his
African hunt of four years. ago, a meet
ing with a few members of the dip O
matte corps and dinner with his Old
friends here. Besides, there were a
dozen impromptu receptions from
crowds in the railway station, at his
hotel, in the streets and wherever else
he CHANGED to stop for a moment.
Colonel Roosevelt protested that poll
ties was not the main object Of his visit
to Washington.
ct was for science, not for politics, "
he said
Reports that while here he might
meet Republican leaders came to
naught, for the colonel saw none of
them.
CT lionel Roosevelts visit with Presi-
dent Wilson was perhaps OF greater in
terest to the public than any other event
of the day. The President and his
predecessor spent more than half am hour
together and talked of most everything
except politics.
When the colonel arrived at the exec
utive mansion he leaped out of his auto
mobile with his old-time vigor and
walked quickly into the White House.
Pm very glad to see you," said the
President as he shook hands with Mr.
Roosevelt. They had met before and
therefore no introductions were needed.
Speaking of travel, books and telling
stories, the two men seemed to enjoy
their meeting greatly. All controversial
subjects were avoided. but the colonel
himself mentioned the River of Doubt
which he discovered in Brazil and joked
over the controversy about it.
Mr.. Roosevelt inquired about the
health of Mrs Wilson, who is confined
to her room, and the President asked
particularly that the colonel convey
congratulations to Kermit Roosevelt,
who is to be married next month in
Madrid. Then they shook hands
warmly and Colonel Roosevelt walked
quickly to his waiting machine.
A crowd of several hundred people had
gathered inside the White House
grounds and as Colonel Roosevelt APP
peared. there was a burst of hand
clapping.

GIFT OF EX-GOVERNOR MEAD.

Everyone connected with, or inter

much pleased with the very liberal dona-
ton given it by one of its graduates,
Ex- Governor Mead of Rutland.
We sincerely hope that other gradu-
ates, equally liberal with DR.. Mead,
will find a sufficiently good cause to fol-
low after so good an example.
Middlebury College has gained very
much financially in the last few years,
and so long as it is guided by the master
hand of its present President, we fee
very sure that it will so continue to gain
in the future.

BIG YIELD OF FRUIT PROMISED.

BIZ YIELD OF FRUIT PkOMlSED.
Washington, May "a. The general
prospect for a large yield of fruit of
all kinds, with the possible exception
of peaches, has not been equalled at
any time within 10 years, save in
1912, according to impartial investiga-
ton just completed by the statistics
and standards committee of the Cham
Der of Commerce, United States of
America, as of date of May 2. More or
less damage is reported from nearly
all sections, but save in the case of
peaches it is not matter of much
moment. The peach crop was damaged
most in Oklahoma, most of Ar
kansas and the larger part of Kansas.
The outlook in these States is for not
more than 25 per cent of a normal
crop. More or less severe damage is
reported in south central Missouri,
southern Mississippi northwestern
Alabama, south and east Texas, south
western Georgia, western Kentucky,
western Tennessee, southern Idaho,
and portions of North Carolina. The
committee say emphatically, however,
that elsewhere the outlook is so prom
Using that in general a crop of peaches
approaching the normal seems more
than likelihood
OF other fruits the yield promises
t. be considerably in excess of the
10-year average. The citrus crops of
Florida and California have proved to
be among the most satisfactory ever
raised, shipments from California alone
totallng about As, 600 carloads.
Scientific methods have done Won
ders for the growers of apples. Says
the committee: The story of apple
raising in irrigated districts of the
Northwest, in Southern Idaho, the
Wenatchie and the Yakima districts
of Washington and the Hood River
Valley of Oregon. is the last cry of in
telligent, progressive fruit culture.
Not only does the association enforce
the proper cultivation, pruning anc
spraying of the orchards, but it is sup
ported in this by the State, which does
not hesitate, in the exercise of its police
power, to cut down and burn any trees
infected with contagious diseas $
when the owner fails to take proper
care of them. The apples of the North
west are known wherever apples are
sold, because of the care exercised il
packing and grading, and the certainty
that the buyer has the qua ity as repre-
sented. Consequently, these apple.
find a ready market from Japan on one
hand to continental Europe on thu

BEE DISEASES AND REMEDIES

BEE DISEASES AND REMEDIES.
There are two contagious diseases
among bees known as American and
European foul brood. These diseases
attack the larvae, which die before
they become perfect or mature bees.
With American foul brood the lar
vac are attacked about the time they
are sealed up and soon die and decay
in the cells. The cappings of such
cells become dark and depressed and
often perforated or broken. If stick
or end of match is inserted into the
dead larvae t will come out with the
tissues of the dead larvae stringng
out for some length. 1t is also recog-
nized by a very offensive odor, says j.
+. Crane Of Mlddlabury i'm The bulletin
of the Vermont department of agri-
culture
If the colony is very weak it is bet
ter to break il up at once and either
burn up the hive and combs or at
least put them out of the reach Of fly
ing bees, because if the bees from
healthy colonies get honey from a dis
eased hive they are almost sure to
come down with the disease later.
If an affected colony is strong. the
bees may be shaken or driven out of
their hives into clean hive ard the
disease will not be likely to reappear.
If comb foundation is used the bees
should be shaken up or driven out a
second time after three or four days
The old hive may be used for the first
shaking. 1t is also we'll to keep the
hive shaded if the W Gather is hot and
a queen eXcluder used to keep the
bees from absconding.
European foul brood attacks the
larvae when quite young and they
mostly die before being sealed over,
changing from pearly white color to
a dirty yellow or brown. The same
treatment may be given them as rec
commended for American foul brood,
but does not always prove successful.
European foul brood may often be
treated successfully by removing the
old queen, leaving the colony queenless
for three or four weeks and then
introducing a vigorous young Italian
queen. 1t must be remembered that
Italian bees are much more resistant
to bee diseases than black bees. If a
beekeeper is in doubt as to whether
he has the disease among his bees he
would better send small sample to a
bee Inspector or to the United States
department of agriculture for identifi-
cation. Never leave hives, combs or
honey from diseased hives where bees
can find them. All combs from diaeased
