OF neutral powers, should dictate that
the practice be discontinued. If per-
sisted in, it would IN such circum-
stances constitute an objectionable
offense against the sovereignty of the
neutral nation affected. The govern
ment of the United States is not un-
mindful of the extraordinary con-
ditions created by this war or of the
racical alterations of circumstance and
method of attack produced by the use
of instrumentalities of naval warfare
which the nations of the world cannot
have had in view when the existing
rules of international law were formu-
lated, and 1t is ready to make every
reasonable allowance for these novel
and unexpected aspects of war at sea
but, 1t cannot consent to abate any
essential or fundamental right of it's
people because of a mere alteration of
circumstance. The rights of neutrals
in time of war are based upon prin-
ciple, not upon expediency, and the
principles are immutable. 1t Is the
duty and obligation of belligerents to
IND way to adapt the new circum-
stances to them.
Humane Course Possible
The events of the last two months
nave clearly indicated that it is pos
sible and practicable to conduct such
submarine operations as have char
acterized the activity of the imperial
German navy within the so-called war
zone in substantial accord with the
accepted practices of regulated war

The note follows:
Department of State,
Washington, July 81, 1915.
The Secretary of State to Ambassador
Gerard:
You are instructed to deliver
textually the following note to the
minister for foreign affairs
The note of the imperial German
government dated the 8th of July,
1915, has received the careful consid-
Grafton of the government of the
United States and it regrets to be
obliged to say that it has found it very
unsatisfactory, because it fails to meet
the real differences between the two
governments and indicates no way in
which the accepted principles of law
and humanity may be applied in the
grave matter in controversy, but pro-
poses, on the contrary, arrangements
for partial suspension of those prin-
ciples which virtually set them aside.
The government of the United States
notes with satisfaction that the i'm
perial German government recognizes
without reservation the validity of the
principles insisted on in the several
communications which this government
with regard to its announcement of a
war zone and the use of submarines
against merchantmen on the high seas
the principle that the high seas are
free, that the character and cargo of a
before she can lawfully be seized or
destroyed, and that the lives of nom
Som batants may in no case be put in
Jeopardy unless the vessel resists or
seeks to escape after being summoned
to submit to examination, for a bell
ligerent act Of retaliation is per Sc an
act beyond the law, and the defense of
an act as retaliatory Is an admission
that it is illegal.
British Actions Not On Trial
The government of the United States
is. however, keenly disappointed to
find that the imperial German govern
ment regards itself as in large degree
exempt from the obligation to observe
these principles, even where neutral
vessels are concerned, by what it be-
lieves the policy and practice of the
government of Great Britain to be in
the present war with regard to neutral
commerce. The imperial German gov
ernment will readily understand that
the government of the United States
cannot discuss the policy of the gov
ernment of Great Britain with regard
to neutral trade except with that gov
ernment itself, and that 1t must regard
the conduct of other belligerent gov
ernments as irrelevant to any discus
sion with the imperial German gov
ernment of what this government re-
CARDS as grave and unjustifiable Vio-
lations of the rights of American citi-
zcns by German naval commanders
Illegal and inhuman acts, however
Justifiable they may be thought to be
against an enemy who is believed to
have acted in contravention of law
and humanity, are manifestly inde-
fensible when they deprive neutrals
of their acknowledged rights, par
ticularly when they violate the right to
life itself. If belligerent cannot re-
taiate against an enemy without in
juring the lives of neutrals as we'll as
their property, humanity, as well as
justice and due regard for the dignity

Holland gave the world this variety
of poultry-one of the most beautiful
In existence. Many years ago the
Dutch called this fowl the Everyday
Layer" and its fame as an egg pro-
ducer led to it's expectation to Eng
land, where fanciers developed it and
bred 1t to fixed characteristics and
coloration. It was a leading variety
in England until the Leghorns largely
supplanted it.

Corn--The selling pressure IN corn
principally represented speculative Ii
quotation and fresh efforts to depress
values. Bears are still counting on the
effect of probable heavy Chicago de-
llNcries next month. Values were
shade higher early in the session. due
TO the cables from Liverpool. which re-
nected unfavorable crop advices from
Argentina. Rains continue In that coun-
try and the quality OF the new crop Is
being lowered. 1t Is believed that the
April movement from Argentina will be
OF comparatively small proportions
There Is no export buying OF American
corn. however. and in absence OF this
domestic cash inquiry Is limited. The
quiet distribution OF actual corn also
tends to hold in check the speculative
buying and furnishes an offset to the
light farm offerings. Receipts at in
terror points have increased somewhat
however. totalling 1.l46.oo0 bushels for
two days. against $4,000 a year ago.
Oats-The undertone was weak and

no evidence OF significant export de-
