The object of the visit of the mis-

SPANISH STEAMER
AIDING GERMANS

Bordeaux, France, Sept. 10.-In ex-
PLANTATION of the activity of German
submarines in the bay of Biscay, the
assertion is made by the Petit Gironde
that a steamer registered at Bilbao,
Spain, left that port recently with 800
barrels of benzine. Where the cargo
was unloaded is unknown, but soon af-
ter the steamer left port, empty bar
rels were seen floating on the sea. The
newspaper declares the same steamer
took fifty barrls of benzine to a sub.
marine at Concha De Artedo last June
Private advices received at Bilbao
state that agents have been securing
the north of Spain for gasoline which
has been sent to bay of Biscay ports.

Sofia, Bulgaria, Sept. TO- "Bul

said Premier Vaseil Radoslavoff, in an
interview today with the Associated
Press correspondent He added
1T is improbable that Greece and
Serbia will adopt joint policy re-
garding Bulgaria.
The premiar expressed the hope that
all political parties in Bulgaria, espec.

He also declared the Bulgarian peo.

that economic conditions in the coun-

negotiations are in progress, it is ut

Bulgaria on Serbia, as is predicted in
some quarters. To do so might result
in catastrophe for Bulgaria.
"Our government is negotiating also

adhere to its policy of neutrality so

Defends Ambassador.
Lenox, Mass, Sept. 10.-Baron Erich
Zwiedinek, counselor Of the Austro-
Hungarian embassy, who will become
charge dsaffaires after the recall of
Ambassador Dumba issued the fol-
lowing signed statement early today,
supplementing an informal expression
Of opinion last night:
II know DR.. Dumba personally very
we'll as from my conversations with
him, l could not think that he should
have intended fomenting strikes in
munitions plants. We have certainly
and naturally felt a satisfaction when
reading in the papers Of difficulties
and strikes in factories making NUM-
tions for the allies, but to foment such
a thing ourselves would have been
such an absolutely impossible under
taking that it would be for me quite
inconceivable that DR.. Dumba should
have suddenly had such an idea.
zone has only to think Of the enor-
nous number of laborers employed in
these factories, which runs into the
hundreds of thousands. to realize how
many millions of dollars would be
necessary to produce any practical ef-
feet. Dr. Dumba, so far as I have
understood, asked for only a few
thousand dollars, SO 1t seems to me
evident that he had only humani-
tartan idea in mind, as he also men
toned to me when returning from
New York.
"The imperial and royal government
had pointed out the legal penalties
which would be incurred by Austro-
Hungarian subjects who returned home
from America after the war, If they
had worked in factories making NUM-
tions for the allies. These penalties
would not only have been those pre-
scribed by the law for helping enemies
of the monarchy, but much more so,
those of public opinion, as In the case
of man who had made munitions
for the allies who should go back to
his home village. perhaps to inherit
the property Of men who had been
killed by those munitions. Naturally
these considerations, If brought to
their attention, might have caused a
certain number OF Austro-Hungarian
subjects to leave their employment in
American munitions factories, and !
had been of the opinion that DR.. Dunn
ba's plans were designed only to give
aid to needy workingmen who had

New York, Sept. 1O.-Dr.
Constantin T. Dumba, ambas-
sador to the United States from
Austria-Hungary, whose recall
has been asked by Washington,
spent a good part Of last night
in conference with the German
ambassador, Count Won Berns-
torff, at the latter's hotel. The
two envoys were still there
early this morning when
Count Won Hohenlohe, an at
tache Of the Austrian embassy,
in answer to many requests for
an expression regarding the ac-
ton of the United States gov
ernment, made the following
statement:
"The action of Mr.. Lansing
and the state department had
been anticipated and is no sur
prise to DR.. Dumba."
Since he came to Washington
more than two years ago, Am
bassador Dumba has been one
of the most popular members of
the diplomatic corps. His ex-
perience as a diplomat en-
braced thirty-four years of serv-
ice in many parts of the world.

Does it Pay to Sow Clover.

Mr.. Gus Atkins, OF Palmersville,
recently harvested demonstra-
ton clover field and the yield was
very encouraging, especially so, as
clover in this vicinity has been
quite uncertain for years. His
plat measured 9.44 acres and gave
yield of twelve tons. Four loads
of this we're weighed and the
weight of the other loads were es-
timated from these. Preparation
for seeding this field was begun
last July ION land from which a
wheat crop had been harvested)
by running a sub. soil furrow
through the stubble fifteen or
eighteen inches apart and then
double discing. A few weeks lat
er the field was again sub-solled,
with the burrows running in an
opposite direction from the pre-
vious working and then given an
other discing. Following the good
rains in late August, the field was
narrowed with spike tooth har-
row and on September 10, was
seeded, using III pounds Of seed
per acre and narrowed in.
Pure culture incubation, obtained
from the department Of agricul-
ture, was used on this field. The
cost of preparing the land, the
seed and seeding was 5000 and
the cost Of harvesting was $500,
which makes total cost of $27.
Valuing this clover at SIP per ton,
his hay would be worth $144. De-
Quoting his expense Of $27 would
leave SLY Of actual gain, or $34.11
per acre. This field Of clover, with
two others in this vicinity, that
gave exceptionally large yields,
demonstrate the fact that late sum-
mer seeding Of clover was very
successful during the past year.
