OF THE BUZZARD
COMING TO THE FRONT

The United States department Of
agriculture comes to the defense Of
the buzzard. Some of the facts given
in the memorandum of the biological
survey printed on our agricultural
page today are strong evidence that
the ugly, but useful, bird is not guilty
Of disseminating animal diseases. If
the germ of anthrax cannot pass thru
the digestive organs of this carrion
eater without being destroyed it is
not likely that it could disseminate
hog cholera or any other animal dis
ease. In the strong digestion of that
bird it seems nothing having life
could survive. 1t would seem that ma
ture in equipping the buzzard for its
work of clearing the face of the earth
Of animal matter that might cause
disease had made that equipment
thorough.
There are other facts known to
keen observers besides those mention
ed in the paper referred to above
which serve to show that the buzzard
is guiltless of spreading disease
among animals by feeding on the car
cases of victims of germ maladies.
Until men learn to burn or bury all
such carcases there viii be need for
the buzzard, and even them his use
fulness will not have altogether de.
parted. It is possible that his exter.
mination will result in increase in the
number of cases of anthrax and the
) like diseases.

A number of years ago, there was
located in New Orleans an institution
called the Louisiana State Lottery. 1t

influence in other states and its ten

aroused the decent people of Amer

vehement PROTEST Will
co TO Great BRITAIN
By The United Press.

WASHINGTON, June 2s.-AnglO-
American complications had showed
the German-American situation into
the background today.
The most vehement American pro-
test since the war began was taking
shape against British interference
with American trade at sea. Back Of
the movement we're cotton growers,
with new crop almost on their hands,
the American Association of Import
ers and the meat packers, united.
These forces were organizing TO de-
mand special session of Congress
and munitions embargo unless Brit
ish blockade methods are changed.
II was learned Germany had con-
suited Austria relative to the formers
reply to the latest American note. In
conference at Vienna were the German
Emperor, his chancellor, DR.. Beth
mann Hollweg, and Foreign Ministers
Won Jagow and Rajecj, of Germany
and Austria respectively.
With the German representatives
return to Berlin, 1t was expected tho
replys completion would be fastened
1t was looked for here a week from
today. The fact that Germany had
sought Austrian advice was deemed a
good sign, Austria being very friendly
to America and the Vienna foreign
Office, It is understood, having opposed
the indiscriminate use of submarines.

KAISER s ANSWER
TO american NOTE
HERE NEXT week
Tentative Draft, Favorable
to U. S., Awaits Won
Tirpitz'S Approval
DERNDURG CONFERS TODAY
With berlin OFFICIALS
By CARL W. ACKERMAN.
United Press Staff Correspondent.


BERLIN, Via The Hague, June 2s.-
The German reply to the second Ameri-
can note regarding the Lusitania viii be
handed TO Ambassador Gerard on July
8 or 6. Because of the Fourth Of July
celebrations in the United States, the
foreign Office deems it inadvisable to
send Germany's answer before that date.
The tentative draft, outlined by The
United Press several days ago, has not
yet been approved by Grand Admiral
Won Tirpitz. But the reply, was as
sured by high official here today, will
take a form "to which no one in Amer
ica can make objection" II is under
stood that Germany will make an inn
portant suggestion in her answer
suggestion of such nature that If
President Wilson accepts it the German
American controversy will be at an end,
1t is considered probable here that this
suggestion is the proposal that subma-
rines will not attack unarmed passenger
ships, carrying no contraband, provided
they bear certain distinguishing marks.
Chancellor Won Bethmann-H -Hollweg
is now at the Galician army head
quarters of the Kaiser. He is not ex-
pected to return to Berlin before the
German reply is sent. Because of the
Importance of the Galician campaign
the Kaiser, it is certain, will not re-
turn to the capital.
DR.. Bernhard Dernburg reached
Berlin last night and was IN con-
ference with officials here today. In
government circles the greatest op-
timism regarding German-American
relations prevails.

those operating east OF LemberR.
The Russians, IL is ofiicially admit

Withdrawing his forces from Bobrka
to Haravuo, the Grand Duke has kept
his lines intact and avoided the trap
set for him by Mackensen and Won

tions. along a small river west OF
Rohatyn, are strongly fortified and
are being maintained IN the face OF
determined enemy assaults.
The arrival OF the Czar at the Cali

troops to fresh attacks all along tha
line from Lemberg to Stanislau. An
official statement issued at midnight
reported the capture OF 1900 Austro-
Germans and two machine guns.
