M.-The National Zeitung publishes to-
day a leading article under the head
ing: Wilson, Bryan and Roosevelt"
which is noteworthy for its friendly
tone and for the ungrudging admlra-

The article begins by saying that dls-

in a quieter tone since Count Won
Bernstorff presented his request to the
American government to delay action
until Germany had had the opportuni-
ty Of presenting it's side Of the case.
Even the anti German newspapers ad-
mitted the justice Of this request, the
article says, and there now remains no
obstacle to friendly discussion OF diff

means of nature to prevent salts

The personality of President Wilson
has been Illuminated more strongly

BY A SUBMARINE

Boston, Sept 1.-The bark Ruth
Stark of Boston, was held up by a
German submarine, while bound from
Liverpool for this port on August g.
According to Captain Ra wding the
submarine fired first what was prob

heave to, but second shot, he said,
appeared TO be aimed at his vessel
Sails were being lowered when the
second shot was fired.
Later the submarine came alongside

bark and her destination, permitted
her to proceed.

Crowell and Thurlow, was carrying 700
tons Of salt. She was $50 miles off

PREVENTION it will not come until Greek

The Bucharest correspondent of the
Times emphasizes necessity for a better
undo rstanding between Runania and
Bulgaria. The most important thing,
he declares, is to establish relations
of confidence between these two coun-
tries. There is evident an identity of
interests and Rumania avows her will
linsness to make required concessions,
but no concrete arrangements have
been concluded. If Rumania could be
induced to make definite offer to
Bulgaria the effect on her sister coun-

IN GERMAN COLONY

colony in western Africa, which the

nouncins further victories. 1t follows:
French forces in the eastern and
southeastern kameruns are continuing
a vigorous offensive in the direction of
Iaunde, capital of the colony. The Ger
man troops We're defeated in series of
engagements and are retreating in great
disorder.
Many of the native German troops
surrendered with their arms and other
equipment. A party of these deserters
while on their way to our post of Arad-
makei encountered a company of Ger.
mans which attempted TO bar their way.
The deserters defeated the Germans and
also attacked a German post at San
Gamelina.
Our right column. coming from the
north, attacked July 2325 the strongly
fortified positions at the Dune station,
simultaneously with an attack from
our southern column. The Germans
were defeated completely. They aban-
doned their positions and in retreating
threw most of their supplies into the
river and allowed natives to pillage
other abandoned stores. In evacuat-
ing Dune the enemy set it on fire,
making a stand on a hill overlooking
the town. This position, which was
defended with artillery and machine
guns, was carried by assault

Sources OF the Rail
Shipped Tomato Crop

Washington. Aug. 30.-Beginning
early in the year and continuing un-
til late in the fall tomatoes are ship
ped commercially from over half of
the states of the Union. There is
probably no other perishable vegeta-
BILE commonly grown out of doors in
the United States which appears on
the market through a longer season
than does the tomato.
Florida, of course, with its location
and climate. stands as the premier
tomato state and starts the tomato
movement each year in January. The
Northern states, such as New York
and Ohio, finish out the season in
October, and by the time the move
ment is over. approximately 1900 cars
are moved for table consumption, ac-
cordlng to recent survey made by
the Department of Agriculture and
published in Bulletin No. 29o. Rail
Shipments and Distribution of Fresh
Tomatoes in 1914"
Florida ships about half the toma
toes moved 10000 cars), with Missis-
sippi. New Jersey, and Texas handling
approximately 1900 cars apiece. The
other states grow tomatoes in smaller
quantities. but in certain districts
such as West Tennessee, the crop is of
great local Importance.
The bulletin presents figures show
ing that total of 10000 cars were
moved: but this by no means repre-
sents the entire tomato crop, since an
effort was made to exclude those going
to canneries and catsup factories.
When demand for tomatoes in
the markets is heavy, it is more
profitable to ship the tomatoes which
were originally intended for the can
neries, but if the market is weak
larger quantities are offered for can
ming.
There are certain localities where it
1t more profitable to raise tomatoes
for canning than for table use. New
York, Delaware and Ohio put the bulk
OF their production into the can, so
that the total used for this purpose
is more than that shipped for table
use.
Most Of the table tomatoes are pick
ed when green and wrapped in paper
to ripen on the way to market in ven
tilated cars. Texas for a number Of
years has preferred to send its crop to
market picked when ripe and shipped
in iced cars. Near many cities large
quantities Of tomatoes are shipped
when fully ripe by electric lines,
trucks. and other conveyances

calities endeavor to raise their crop
