DISASTROUS RESUL rs.
Rains To Cause 100000 Loss in Maine
Hay Crop.

Augusta, Me-, Aug. 6.-The growing
and reaping season of 1915 promises to
be a disastrous one for Maine farmers
whose income depends upon the hay and
apple crops, according to estimates based
on canvass of conditions in central
Maine.
There will be a loss Of over S7,000000
on the hay crop alone, il is estimated, if
these conditions hold throughout the
state, and il is believed here that they
do. This is due in large part to the
heavy rainfall last month. Early frosts
were said to have caused a loss of ST.
100000 in the Maine apple crop.
Farmers in central Maine are putting
into their barns about two-thirds of the
normal hay crop, and an average one
third Of this is said TO be too poor to
sell.

WASHINGTON, May 2.-Press reports
Of the torpedoing of the American
steamer Gulhight. of the loss OF her

Leon c. Thresher. was drowned when
tho British ship Falaba was torpedoed
The United States government has

attack on an American vessel now re-
ported. 1t Is probable that both incl
dents Will be dealt with in whatever
diplomatic action is taken.
1t was recalled tonight that in the
note sent to Germany In answer to Ger
many's proclamation OF sea war zone,
the Washington government stated that
1t would hold Germany ito a strict ac-
countnbility'' for the loss of any Amer
lean lives or vessels
The course OF the United States in
the case OF the Gulf1ight is not likely
to be determined for several days as
some time probably will be required to
get the facts. The possibility Of any
action othor than a demand for dam
ages is considered remote, because of
the belief OF officials that the attack on
the Gullight probably Will be found to
have been accidental.
