Such ships it is said, would, of course, be subject to stoppage and examination by submarines in accord ance with the practice in vogue prior fo the present war and to capture, if carrying contraband. but the reg ular rules of the prize law, partic- ,ularly regarding the safety of passen- gers and crews, would be observed.
 It is hoped here that such solu- ticn will satisfy the requirements of President Wilson's note. It is hoped and expected here among those who are working for friendly settlement of the situation between Germany and the United States, that the United States would see that such passenger ships were not used to transport am- intuition and guns, nor lend them selves to attacks upon submarines

 The weed problemcan perhaps best be solved by making the! conditions as favorable as possible for the < lawn grasses and to maintain strict watch at all times ito check the growth of the troublesome weeds at the beginning. At the end of the growing season before the severe weather of winter arrives the lawn should be given a good top-dressing of well-rotted barnyard manure. If the manure is not well routed. it is likely to introduce an abundance of weed seeds, which will ultimately cause considerable trouble. Top dressing not only adds fertility to the soil, but gives the grass protection during the severe weather of winter and the freezing and thawing of@ear- ly spring.

 Washington, June 25.-While weed enemies of the lawn are Troublesome throughout the growing season. they are most particularly so from the lat ter part of June until frost. During this period crab-grass is by far the worst weed present. says the U. $. Department of Agriculture's lawn specialists. There is no really satis- factory method of checking it's growth. and the only treatment to pc recommended .iss.to cut or pull the plants before they have formed large mats, This is very tedious and ex- pensive practice. but where a, good lawn is involved the results justify the expense. Rational fertilizing and careful watering during the summer. help to overcome the effect of weeds Chemical sprays or treatments have proven to be of very little assistance. Much difficulty is experienced in cut ting crab-grass with the ordinary

By means of the rake the branches oftcti1es grass may be lifted so that they can be clipped reason ably close.n 1t. is almost impossible, however, to cut crab grass sufficiently close to prevent the information of seed,
 There are many other weeds that are troublesome in the lawn not only in thef spring but also in the summer and autumn. Among the most important ones are dandelion, plaintain, dffickWeed, oxeye daisy and 'yarrow while ' chemical sprays are more effective in the eradication of these weeds than in the case of crab grass. the best method of preventing

Delay In School Funds.

Owing to the establishment Of the
State fire insurance fund and the
special fund for revenue from hunt
ers' licenses, which must be used for
game propagation and the heavy drafts
made on inactive repositories for
money TO pay charities and other State
appropriations, the chances are that
the States general balance will be
lower on July 81 than 1t has been in
years. This probably will have the ef-
feet Of preventing any extensive pay
ment Of the State school appropriation,
which is due TO present, and which the
Department of Public Instruction Is
prepared to start when the Auditor
General gives the word.
In the last few days, inactive deposit
tories have been called upon to turn
over to the general fund more than
100000. About ten days ago-an equal
amount was called from the same de-
posltories, chiefly for hospitals.

ally transmitting Germany's admission
Of liability and expression Of regret
for the attack by a German sub
marine on the American steamer Ne

the legal points raised by the incident
would require the dispatch Of a note
on the subject further to conserve

ESCAPES TORPEDO.
Carried 227 Passengers, In

Only Speed Saves Big British Boat.
Washington Surprised BY lndi-

German Policy.

New York. - The Cunard liner
orduna bound from Liverpool to New
York with 227 passengers, including
% Americans, was attacked without
warning, it was learned on her arrival
here, by a German submarine on the
morning Of July 9.
Twenty miles from the graveyard Of
the Lusitania, off Old Head of Kinsale,
the Orduna escaped the Lusitania's
fate by one half a second Of time or
10 feet OF space, the German torpedo
churning the water that distance be-
hind the liners rudder. Then the Or
duna sped away. She was followed by
the submarine, which rose to the sur
face. manned gun on her deck and
shelled the fleeing steamer
The attack was at 10 minutes to
o'clock in the morning, when all but
a few OF her passengers lay sleeping
IN their berths. Aroused by stewards
the passengers dressed hurriedly and
went to tho upper deck, where they
put on life belts and took their places
at the life boats They heard the
scream Of the shells and saw the ocean
throw up columns Of water where the
shells struck. When the fire grew hot
the passengers were ordered for their
own protection to the next deck below.
Chased Half Hour
For half an hour the Orduna showed
her heels to the assailant. Through
marine glasses the passengers watched
the dark splotch on the waters sur
face astern. They saw the low-lying
German warship coming on, but the
Orduna's flight was faster than the
pursuit, and after seven shots had
been fired, without effect, the sub
marine gave up the chase.
A wireless call for help was sent
out by the Orduna when the torpedo
was seen. She was then 81 miles
south of Queenstown. The reply, Cap
tain Taylor says in his official report,
was that help would be given within
an hour. It was four hours before the
first British vessel, a small armored
yacht, the Jeanette, appeared.
