OPTIMISM TO SOMr:

While the optimism which has pre-
vailed In official quarters, as result
of Ambassador Gcrard's early mes
saGes. has to some extent been dis
sipated by the unsatisfactory chara ctcr
OF proposals in tho tentative draft the
situation still was regarded as sus-
ceptible OF friendly settlement EN-
phasis was laid on the fact that the
German Foreign Office apparently
seems anxious TO learn the minimum OF
the American demands. and the belief
was expressed that further conferences
with other departments OF the govern
ment and even with Emperor William
himself might be planned in the event
that the proposed note. as shown to
Ambassador Gerard. was not viewed
favorably by the United States.
Secretary Lansing said no intimation
had come as to the date when the
German reply would be formally de-
livered to Ambassador Gerard.

STICK TO PROVED METHODS
Should Be Cut Back About One-Half of
Not Control Insects and Dis
case, Say Experts.

The idea that certain chemicals
placed in the body of a fruit tree will
get rid of insects and diseases seems
to be prevalent among the folks who
do not read, says Denver Field and
Farm. Several people have recently
reported to us that this could be done
but there is nothing in it and the con-
tention is not borne out by scientific
facts. Experiments made to determine
the effectiveness of this method of
controlling insects and diseases have
been absolutely negative. Those who
say they have had success with such
remedies have not been people we'll
informed in plant physiology and plant
structure and have not conducted in
telligent and scientific tests to prove
their side of the case. The probabili-
ties are that nothing allied their trees
in the first place. We would advise
our readers to leave such cures alone
and stick to the we'll established and
proved methods.

DUTCH SHIP TORPEDOED:
HOLLAND is AROUSED
Steamer katwijk, With Cargo From
United States, Destroyed
Crew of 20 Saved.

London, April 17-Tremendous ex-
element has been aroused in Hol-
land, according to dispatches received
here, by the destruction of the Dutch
government steamer Katwijk by a
German submarine. The Katwijk was
torpedoed on Thursday at anchor off
Noordhinder lightship, Holland. She
was of 2,046 tons, bound for Rotter-
dam from Baltimore with corn and
cotton. Her cargo was government
owned.
The sinking of the Katwijk, COM
ing on the heels of the seizure of the
four Dutch trawlers, the St. Nicholas,
Eentwee, Rynland and another as yet
unidentified, by German torpedo
boat, which took them to Cuxhaven,
has aroused the Dutch government to
take hasty steps to demand immedi-
ate and complete reparation.
The Katwijk sailed from Baltimore
on March 27. She had been chartered
from her owners, Erhardt-Dekkers of
Rotterdam, for this purpose by the
queens government. She was an
chored about seven miles Off Noord-
hinder Hghtship when struck. Her
crew of % was rescued by the light
ship. A German submarine has been
lowering in the vicinity of Noord-
hinder for several days, other vessels
having beer attacked there.
An Exchange dispatch from Rotter
dam says that the sinking of the Kat
wiki has caused the deepest resent
ment throughout Holland. Even Ger
man sympathizers have expressed dis
gust at the actions of German sub
marines in disregarding neutral flags.
When torpedoed the steamer was
flying the Dutch flag at her masthead.
The torpedo tore a huge hole in the
vessel and set the ship afire. The
crew tried desperately to save the
vessel. A second torpedo put an end
to their efforts. The men took to the
boats and then for the first time OBJ
served the periscope of submarine.

100 BRITISH LOST
FROM TRANSPORT
Turk Torpedo Boat Sunk After
Attack.
BATTLE OFF ISEAND OF CHIOS
English Warship Pursues Enemy's
Craft and Destroys It-Crew of
100 Captured-Forts in OAR
daneIIes Are Bombarded.

London, April 20.-In the first naval
battle of the war between Turkish
and British warcraft, 100 of the crew
of the British transport Manitou were
reported to have been drowned and
a Turkish torpedo boat destroyed, in
official dispatches to the admiralty on
Saturday.
The battle was fought off the Island
of Chios, near the Gulf Of Smyrna,
and about 100 miles south of the en-
trance to the Dardanelles. The trans
port was torpedoed and sunk after it
had landed British troops on the coast
of Asia Minor.
The engagement took place in the
forenoon. The torpedo boat emerged
from the Gulf of Smyrna, penetrating
the blockade maintained by Vice Ad-
miral Peirse's fleet since the lombard
ment of Smyrna began.
Three torpedoes were shot at the
British transport, according to dis
patches to the admiralty. 1t adds all
missed their mark, but does not ex-
plain the destruction of the vessel
The light cruiser Minerva, which had
participated in the bombardment of
Smyrna, gave chase and forced the
torpedo boat ashore in Kalammuit
bay, Chios island. The Turkish war
craft was destroyed and it's crew of
100 made prisoners.
The press bureau has the following
announcement by the admiralty:
"The British submarine ELS, while
attempting difficult reconnaissance
in the Kephez mine field of the OAR
danelles, was run ashore off Kephez
point, four miles below the mar
rows.
"The officers and twenty-one men
o. the crew of thirty-one were res
cued by the Turks and made prison
ers, according to the official state
ment at Constantinople. This state
ment adds that among the prisoners
was the former vice-consul at OAR
danelles."
1t is learned that warships have
been attacking the forts at Bulair, on
the Gallipoli peninsula.

ROOSEVELT LIBEL
SUIT JURY FOUND
Colonel Loses Attempt to Have
Barnes Charge Dismissed.
G. O. P. MEN ARE ON PANEL
Democrats and Progressives Also Ac-
cepted-First Line of Defense
in $4,000 Libel Suit
Overruled.

Syracuse, n Y, April 21.-With the
examination of twenty-five men out of
q panel of eighty, the Barnes-Roose-
welt $4,000 libel suit jury was COM
pleted on Monday.
Six and half hours were occupied
in selecting the jury.
The twelve good men and true who
were finally selected after a hard
days work number in their ranks
seven Republicans, three Progress
sives and two stray Democrats.
AS his first line of defense Roose-
welt set up the contention that his
scathing statement about Barnes
boss methods made no personal
charge and carried no innuendo. This
was in the form of motion made by
his attorney, John M. Bowers, to dis
miss the complaint. 1t was promptly
overruled by Justice Andrews and the
case will go to trial on it's merits.
The courtroom holds 300 people,
and it filled up early, and Justice An
drews gave strict orders to bailiffs to
admit no more people than could find
seats.
Colonel Roosevelt, accompanied by
Horace Wilkinson, Progressive state
chairman, and John D. Bowers, his
chief counsel, arrived at the court
house half an hour before time for
court to open.
Mr.. Barnes came in five minutes
later with his chief counsel, William
M. Ivens. He gave no recognition to
Mr.. Roosevelt.
Barnes, wearing tan waistcOat,
swung his chair around facing the
colonel within the rail, but Roose-
welt never took his eyes from the
jury box.
Mystery deep and dark enshrouded
the plaintiffs end of the suit, while
the spotlight of widest publicity
played over the plans of the colonel's
defense.
The Roosevelt witnesses, most of
them, have been announced. The
Barnes forces have announced only
two of their witnesses.
Attorney Ivens said that Mr.. Barnes
was trying to conceal nothing and that
his direct testimony to prove the ut
terance and publication of the alleged
libel, wherein Colonel Roosevelt had
called him a corruptionist, would re-
quire few witnesses.
Colonel Roosevelt is prepared to
delve into the family secrets of the
New York G. O. P. for twenty years
back, if the court will sanction it.
Barnes plans and witnesses will be
made known, said Ivens, after it be-
comes apparent how far the coolnel
can go.

SPRAY FOR SAN JOSE SCALE
Dormant Trees Should Be Treated in
Fall and Again in Early Spring
Burn All Prunings.

II the trees are infected with the
San Jose scale they should be sprayed
while dormant, once if lightly infect
ed, but if badly infected, twice-once
in the late fall or early winter and
again in the early spring just before
the trees start growth. Trees in foil
age cannot be sprayed with winter
strength sprays, for spray strong
enough to kill the scale readily, will
injure the foliage Of the trees. If the
trees are to be pruned, it is advisable
to prune the trees before spraying, as
the pruning will reduce the surface to
be covered with the spray and the
spray mixture will go farther. Be
careful to burn all the pruning so as
to destroy the scale on them.

British Win Near Ypres.

Germans ketfeat OWdrQS the hHtne
British Win Near Ypres.
London, April luxurious fighting
at the extreme ends of the battle line
in Alsace and Flanders has resulted
in marked progress for the English
and French in their joint offensive
movement. The most terrific fighting
is taking place in the Vosges, where
bayonet charges by superior numbers
have thrown the Germans down the
slopes and placed in the hands of the
French positions which, if they do not
command the fortified city of Colmar,
at least gravely menace the Alsatian
stronghold.
The French claim of victory south
west of Colmar, near Metzeral, which
overlooks the valley of the Rhine, is
admitted in the official statement re-
ceived from Berlin on Sunday.
In addition, the German war Office
admits a repulse southwest of Ypres
by the British, who exploded mines
in the German trenches on the north
ern bank of the User canal and oc-
cupied three of the craters thus
created.

BUYING YOUNG FRUIT TREES
Orchardist Should Patronize Reputable
Nurseryman and Be Willing
to Pay Good Price.

By r. A. MGINTY, Colorado .Agrfeai-
tural College)
In ordering fruit trees TO be planted
this spring, the buyer should give due
consideration to the following points
Order trees from reputable
nurseryman, paying good price for
same instead of securing them from
some agent who has no reputation TO
maintain. The latter individual may
sell his trees at reduced prices, but the
chances are the buyer will not get
what he orders.
Send in the order early, so that the
nurseryman will have time to pack
and ship the trees before the spring
rush. This is necessary in order that
the buyer may receive his trees in
time to set them out early.
In selecting varieties, it should be
remembered that three or four we'll
tried sorts of each fruit are better than
a large number of varieties, especially
if the fruit is to be marketed. If
wanted for home use, larger number
may be chosen. New and untried var
ieties are usually to be avoided
AS rule, it is best to buy one-year-
old trees. Older trees are very often
stunted and mis-shapen on account of
close planting in the nursery row,
while yearling trees usually consist of
a straight switch with live buds down
to the ground. Such trees may be
headed as high or as low as desired,
which is not always possible with the
older trees

BRIDGE GRATING OPERATION
Fruit Trees Girdled by Rabbits May
Be Saved by Process-Cover
the Wounds With Wax.

Where the rabbits have girdled the
fruit trees they may be saved by what
is called bridge grating. This con-
sists in bridging over the injured
parts with scions of last summers
growth, connecting the parts below
the girdle with the parts above.
Trim the bark around the injured
parts, sharpen the ends of the scions
to a wedge-shape, and fit tightly into
the layer of new wood under the tree
