U. S. NOTE FIRM BUT FRIENDLY

Washington, July 21.-Divested of
any tone suggesting beIigerency, in
friendly but firm tones, U. S. note in
reply to Germany's of July on sub

would contain any reference to Or

treasury investigation in time.

work has already begun on a reply to |

SMALL NATIONS HARD HIT

ings of the Serbians from famine
and typhus. The whole country is q
wilderness of disease, and SO large a
part of the population is infected
with typhus, smallpox or cholera
that there are not enough left to
look after the stricken o bury the
dead.
Only one bright spot appears in
1.-THE midst OF this awful desolation,
and that is the heroic efforts OF the

Cyclone Was Playful.

The great atmospheric freak that
has hit California for many months
struck the walnut grove on the Phil
lips ranch west of Pomona. 1t took
the form of small cycone and played
a remarkable prank.
In one spot eight English walnut
trees were uprooted. The eight formed
almost perfect circle and the ninth
tree, which stood directly in the cen.
ter, was left standing, although the
ground around 1t shows that the roots
were torn loose from the earth.
Forty-three mature walnut trees
were uprooted in the Phillips grove by
the same storm. The twister also lift
ed the cap from the manhole on top
of the Phillips ranch house, and few
miles farther west it passed through
big walnut groove, uprooting every
tree in one row and not turning leaf
on any Of the others.-New York Sun.

Of the average. Since that time the
weather has been exceptionally favor
able for the sowing Of wheat, and the
farmers have taken full advantage of
1t. Much Of the crop is now above the
surface. There has been a very gen.

hasten the termination of the recently
sown wheat, and will prevent the soil
from drifting of the later sown crop.
The area sown in wheat is fully is per

To sum up the agricultural situation
