Sinking Of Arabic
Regarded in London
As Defiance to i. S.
Deed Termed lmpudent and Menda-
cious Reply to Note on
lusitania

London, Aug. 20.-The newspapers
in their editorials dealing with the
sinking of the steamer Arabic COM
ment at length on the effect the event
is likely to have on the relations be-
tween the United States and Ger
many.
IF the policy which is being fol-
lowed by the Germans is permitted to
crystalize into precedents then there
is no seaborn interest of the United
States which will not be imperilled
If at some future time the people be-
come involved in war at sea-"
The Times says:
1.-THE fact that the Arabic was out
ward bound wipes away the whole
web of falseh GODS and sophistry with
which Germany sought to darken the
case in its impudent and mendacious
reply to the American note on the
Lusitania. There can be no pretense
that the Arabic was carrying ammuni'
ton"
The Daily Mail says:
Americans have been wondering
why no reply has yet been returned
to the note they sent Germany on
July 90. The reply was given yes;er'
day and deeds speak louder than
words. There can be no doubt now
as to Germany's determination tc
persevere in her piratical course with
complete indifference as to whether
any American citizen is aboard
ships attacked"
1t would seem that President VII
son can hardly ignore this cool def
ance of his recent note" I0

CoIIapsIbIe Refriuerator,

One of the interesting features in
a new refrigerator is that 1t can easily
be taken apart for transportation or
for cleaning, and then put together in
few minutes without the use OF
tools of any kind. The base, sides,
front. back, and top form separate
sections. These are connected by
locking bars, having slots in the ends,
which fit over pins projected from the
paps to be connected and are so ar
ranged that when the refrigerator Is
set up, these parts are held rigidIy
together. Another feature Of this
refrigerator is that OF circulating the
water formed by the melting ice
through pipes under the Shelves

CHAPTER Xxx.
A Sisters Story.

II she hesitated outside the room to
summon the courage to face the man
who would demand so much of her,
there was nothing in her manner now
to indicate that such had been the
case. She approached him without a
symptom of nervousness or irresolu-

wavering and there was purpose in
them.

prise to the uncurtained window on en-

yond the broad ray Of light, expecting
her to advance into its full, revealing
glare. She stopped, however, in the
shadow opposite. 1t was he who moved
forward into the light. and there was a
deep searching look in his eyes. In an

CARE IN MARKETING FRUITS

PRUNING FOR CHERRY TREES
Work Tends to Improve Color Of
Fruit and Adds to Appearance Of
Tree-TrIm Every Year.

Many people hold to the theory that
q cherry tree should never be touched
while the other extremists say they
should be pruned as vigorously as ap-
pie trees. The most sensible course
lies between the two.
Pruning the cherry tree does not
have so marked an effect in enlarging
fits fruit as 1t does on apple or the
pear, but it does tend both to enhance
the color OF the crop as well as to i'm
prove the trees appearance. The
bright, full-sized, well-colored cherries
are the ones that sell and the cherries
that are not too thick on the tree and
not shut out Of sunlight by too dense
foliage are those which attain the nee
essary color and size.
Did you never notice that the big,
fine, highly colored cherries are those
on the topmost branches or away out
on the ends of long limbs, or some
where where the air and the sunshine
get to them? Well, In this there is
