II is declared In circles close to the
Government that the demands Of Pres
ident Wilson with reference TO the sub
marine war OF Germany will be re-
fused. The answer TO he returned to
the note. 1t is said. will be firm declL
nation OF the German Government to
cease such operations and a reafrrma-
ton OF the coun,ry's previously stated
position.
With this announcement goes the
further declaration that Germany eS-
poets the United States to appreciate
the German point OF view. II is be-
lieved the United States cannot insist
upon the contention that the presence
OF american passengers on British
contraband carrying ship gives that
ship immunity.
The Italian situation to-day absorbed
public interest and the discussion OF the
American note was relegated 20 second
place.
The newspapers however. continue
their comments on the Presidents note
and are ~ one in fierce demand that
Germany refuse to yield. Count Revent-
low. the naval writer. says:
THE submarine war Will continue.
The German Government knew what il
was doing when ii took It's present
course"
The TdGebldtt says: THE demand Of
the Washington Government must he
rejected Indeed, the whole note hardly
merits serious consideration Its firm
tone is only a cloak TO hide America $
consciousness of her own culpahility.'
Capt. Pcrsius, writing in the Tdgblau,
says
"If in spite of the German Admit
ralty's warning against entering the war
zone American citizens entrusted them
selves to the Lusitania. the blame falls
upon themselves and their Government.
Can America guarantee that neither
guns nor ammunition were on board and
further that a submarine. when cmerg-
ing. was not exposed 20 being rammed
by the Lusitanla? II tho answer Is In
the negative. as undoubtedly II must be.
tho American Government. after calm
del.beration, will understand 1t has no
right to raise protest against the

ROME, May 19.-Diplomatic and
military action taken to-day by the
Italian Government authorities indi-
Gates that war against Austria-Hun-
gary has been decided on.
In spite OF the Kaleidoscope changes
which have marked the attitude OF the
Government in its negotiations with
the representatives OF the Kaiser and
the Dual Monarchy IN the past month
there seems tonight to be no solution
possible other than a fiat refusal on
the part Of Italy to continue the ne
cotiations and the severance OF diplo-
matte relations preparatory to war.
1t was officially announced that the
Green Book. on which printers have
been working in absolute secrecy at
the Foreign Once for several days
will be issued tomorrow. This docu-
ment. which consists OF 100 pages, will
give details Of the Austro-ltal!an ne
gotiations since the outbreak of the
European war and inform the nation
on the various phases OF the d!plo-
matte conversations" between Prince
Won Buelow. representing the Kaiser.
and the Italian Government.
Envoys May Leave AT Once.
When the Green Book is read at the
reopen.ng OF Parliament tomorrow 1t
is believed that the German and Aus
trian Ambassadors will regard II as
tantamount to a breaking Off of diplo-
matte relations and will at once leave
the country.
At n gathering OF Deputies here to-
day 273 members Of the lower house
declared their intention to so TO the
front Immediately on the declaration
Of war against Austria being an
nounced.
Prince Won Buelow and Baron Mac
chic. the Austro-Hungarian envoy,
called at the Foreign Office yesterday
morning and presented verbal note,
merely reading a communication from
their Governments but declining to
leave the document. In diplomatic
circles this was taken 10 mean. that
the cnvoys regarded war as imminent.
At the German and Austrian embas-
sizes IL was denied, however. that the
cnvoys had demanded their passports.
A special Cabinet council was held
this evening. II lasted three hours

Farm Surveys
Around Middletown

Four weeks ago County Agents,
Cooch, Pence, and Pelton, from
New Castle, Kent and Sussex
counties, respectively, together
with Mr.. Brown and Mr.. Keyes,
Farm Management Demonstra-
tors from the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, took bus
mess records of sixty-fve farms
in the neighborhood of Middle
town, Odessa, Townsend, Mt.
Pleasant and McDonough. It is
generally understood that these
records consist of taking an in
ventory of the stock, crops and
equipment, together with the ex-
penses and receipts of each indi-
vldual farm. Since these records
were taken they have been figured
cut so as to show the income of
the farm, the tenants labor in
come, and the interest the land
lord is making on his investment.
Some very interesting facts have
been disclosed with regard to the
money the tenant farmers in this
section of New Castle county are
getting in return for their labor,
and ability to manage the farms
they rent.
In order that the results of this
work may be more clearly under
stood, it has been decided to hold
public meeting in the Grange
Hall, on Friday evening, April 9.
This meeting is open not only to
landlords and tenants of the
farms surveyed, but to all farmers
who are interested in this subject.
While the results of the farm sur
vey work will be discussed from
every standpoint, it is not intend
ed to go into individual farm re-
cords at this meeting, but to take
up the matter in a general wav.
A little later the individual re-
cords will be returned to the farm
ers and more thoroughly discussed
with them.
1T is to be hoped that everv
farmer in the vicinity of Middle
town will consider himself a COM
mlttee of one to discuss and adver-
tlse this meeting between now and
neSt FRIDAY evening, April 9, so
that every farmer who is inter
ested will know of it, and can ar
range his work so as to be able to
attend. W
