Washington.-Th Dominion freight

and carrying mules from Newport

and sunk by the German submarine
U-Ss of Cornwall, England, and nearly

Washington Awaits Facts.
The news created sensation in Of.
1cial quarters, as It was the first case
OF loss of American lives since the
sinking Of the Lusitania The gravity
OF the incident, however and the
action OF the Washington government
depends almost entirely on whether
the Armenian was chartered by the
British Government and was, in fact,
a transport Of war aboard which
Americans would sail at their own
risk or whether she was an unarmed
merchantmen.
In the latter case, even though
carrying contraband, the ship could
have been subjected to visit and
search and those aboard transferred to
q place of safety before the destruc-
ton Of the vessel was attempted.
In the absence of official iniorma-
ton on these points officials declined
20 say what effect the sinking Of the
Armenian would have on pending ne
gotations between the United States
and Germany.
Americans Took Risk.
Onhand opinions among department
officials pointed clearly to justification
on the part OF Germany in sinking the
vessel. II was said unofhcially that
the horses and mules were consigned
10 the British Army; that the vessel
was either an auxiliary Of the British
Navy or else chartered by the Govern.
ment for the transportation of war
munitions. Horses and mules are in
disputably contraband, and are so held
by all the belligerent governments.
Any American who has accepted
service on such a ship or who might
venture upon It as a passenger would
do So il was explained by officials, at
his own risk and would have little If
any redress through this Government
for injuries sustained. In other words,
(, Is not apparent tonight that the sink.
ing Of the Armenian will create any
additional friction between the United
States and Germany.

ger Of much damage from the blight.
A representative Of the New: York

recently visited many orchards In the

and persistent effort to eradicate blight
from their orchards while it Is COM
paratively a simple proposition.
The orchards should be inspected
twice weekly for traces Of blight. Any
bnghted twtgs should be cut of at
once, making the cut at least six inches

The biWeekly inspections should be
started at once and continued until the
wood becomes hard again. It. would
also be great advantage to sow the
cover crop. in pear and young apple
orchards now, as this crop will help to
check the growth and at the same time
insure that the trees go into winter in
good condition.
