Gcrmany's reply to the latest
American note concerning the naval
war zone has been handed to Ambas-
sador Gerard at Berlin. The German
Government now agrees to make many
important concessions to the United
states provided Great Britain yields
in the matter OF placing an embargo
on food shipments to Germany.
Ambassadors of neutral Powers met
at the British Foreign Office yes
terisy and discussed informally Great
Britain's reprisal policy. No protests
from neutrals have been presented.
The British public is strongly favor
ing the measure announced by Premier
Asquith and will demand a strict en-
forcement. The programme has not
yet been put formally into effect, all
though the people Of Great Britain
believe that il has.
The London Times thinks Premier
Asquiths declaration has been mis-
understood and that no blockade OF
Germany is planned by the Allies.
The Washington Government has
not yet decided upon it's procedure in
answer to the British blockade
policy. President Wilson, however.
made plain to callers his determine
ton to insist that unless the Allies
maintain an actual blockade of Ger
many they must revert TO the ordinary

its reply to the Informal inquiries sub
mtted on February 80 by the envoy in

Makes One Exception.
The acceptance OF virtually all OF tho
proposals in the American note is set
forth, the principal exception pe!ns the
unwilingness of the German Govern
mert to have the use of anchored mines
restricted TO purely defensive purposes.
Germany is willing to consiier giving up
the use Of floating mines entirely, but
Expresses the conviction that hostiles
Uannot at this time afford to abandon
anchored mines for offensive operations.
Germany agrees further that II her
submarines capture merchantmen car

enemy countries, the action concerning
such vessels shall be in accord with the
general principles of international law.
Conditional upon this. however. Is that
the use of neutral flags by merchant

That no merchantmen be armed. The
employment OF such tactics will make

Increase in Farm Land Values.
bennington Banner. J

Ray Bentley, formerly of Sandgate
but for several years past a resident of
Bennington, has recently bought farm
in Cambridge, \. y, just outside the
village limits. For this farm of 800
acres and fair set of buildings he
paid a triie over three thousand dol
lars. Before going to Cambridge he
looked for farm near Bennington and
found that a farm of similar size, quail
ity and location would have cost him
from $4,000 to $4,000. This would indi-
cate that farm values in Vermont. at
least near the large towns, will COM
pare rather strikinglv with those in
the great state of New York Some
months ago the editor Of The Banner
was in the town of Vernon. VT. where
the big power plant of the Connecticut
river company is located. While in
Vernon, which is town of fine river
land, the writer was told by well in
formed citizens of the town that land
values there had increased rapidly dur
ing the past five years, especially since
the erection of the power plant, and
farms would sell from % to 100 per
cent higher than in the neighboring
towns of Mortified and Gill, Massa-
chusetts. One reason given was that
Vermont roads are better and Vermont
taxes lower than in Massachusetts.
These two instances tend to show that
farm conditions in Vermont are not
going down hill.
