Germany is Unyielding In Refusal to Concede Sink ing of American Sailing Ship Violated Prussian American Treaty
STILL MAINTAINS
 WAS JUSTIFIED
Declares Against Willing ness to Pay for Ship But Accepts Proposal That Amount of Damages Be Fixed by Two Experts
ASSOCIATED PRESS pIsPArcHl

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-Germany Is unyieiding in it's refusal to concede that the sinking of the American sail ing ship William F. Frye by the aux Hilary cruiser Prinz Eitel Friedercn in the South Atlantic last January was q violation of American rights under the Prussian- American treaty or in ternational law In reply to the last representations of the United States, the German foreign office, in note made public tonight by the state de partment, reiterates previous Justlflca- ton of Germanys course. declare against willingness to pay for the ship. and accepts the proposal first advanced by the United States-that the amount of damages be fixed by two experts, one to be selected by each country
 Such a sum the German government pledges to pay promptly with the stip- ulation. however, that the payment will not be viewed as satisfaction for the violation of American rights. Should that method be unsatisfactory, Germany invites the United States to arbitration at The Hague.
  reparation by a commission of experts probably would be satisfactory to the United States with the express pro vision, however. that it would not waiver treaty rights for which the American government contends, but applies only to the matter of damages. It is practically certain if the United States allows the dispute to go to The Hague for interpretation of the treaty provision or continues an academic discussion of the principles through channels of diplomacy. it will insist that in the meanwhile Germany refrain from violation of what the United States contends are it's rights.
 The entire dispute revolves about Ar ticle Thirteen of the Prussian-Ameri- can treaty of 1799 which was revised and included in the treaty Of 1928. That article. the United States con tends specifically protected the Freye from being sunk. although it did not protect q contraband cargo. Germany takes precisely the opposite view. con tending the article only obligates her to pay damages. Furthermore Ger many replies that as the Frye's cargo of wheat destined to England was con traband. the ship was liable to confis- cation and that as an attempt to take the prize into a German port would have imperilled the captor. the de- struction of the Frye was according to general principles of international law"
 The right of sinking" says the German note. lis not mentioned in the treaty therefore it is neither expressly permitted nor expressly prohibited, so on this point party stipulations must be supplemented by general rules of international law. It is not disputed by the American government that ac- cording to general principles of inter national law a belligerent is author ized in sinking a neutral vessel under almost any conditions for carrying contraband

Some Anachronssms.

It is a question, parenthetically. whether 1t is truly sportsmanlike to live in a quaint old colonial cottage with a furnace and electric lights. I have heard amateurs of the colonial declare that they would willingly die before they would live in an electrically lighted colonial cottage. The anach. ronism horrifles them: they would have death or candles. Probably they feel the same way about g furnace and a bathroom. Yet have no doubt that the builders of this colonial cottage would have opened their hearts to all these inventions: and am not sure that they would have regarded as anything but funny the idea that their own kitchen paraphernalia would some day be used to decorate my dining room. I go further. Granting that electric light, furnace. and bath room are anachronisms in this quaint old colonial cottage-what am I but an anachronism myself? We must stand together, the furnace. the elec- trio meter, the porcelain bathtub, and I, and keep each other in countenance. From the Atlantic.

Baron Reu- ter long nursed an idea for organizing the supply of foreign news in nidentical terms to all the newspapers, but edi. tors gave him no encouragement. At last he determined to risk things. and arranged with correspondents all over Europe. When their messages began to come in he took them round person ally to the newspaper offices and of. fered them for nothing, on condition that his name should be printed against them. "Try them for von month," he urged. If they not satis. fly you. we'll. to you 1t signify noth' icg." One editor after another did try them, with such results that when Reuter- preached the subject of sub scription rates his demands were read. Ny complied with.

 to another is probably the surest way of carrying the disease However, when hogs that die of cholera are al- lowed to lie in the open and decay, birds, dogs or any animal that comes in contact with them can very easily carry the disease to the surrounding country.
 Crows and birds that carry the in. lection on their feet can easily visit dozens of feeding lots in a day, thus injecting the healthy. herds. Dogs quite frequently carry the infection by trimming through different pens.. By merely wafking through infected pens or. handling, infected hogs, may may spread the disease to herds that haYe not besn infected before ,.s.

To facilitate the cutting of glass in any desired shape a device has been patented which consists of a base on one side of which is a metal groove that holds a sliding portion to which is attached a straightedge. The straightedge can be adjusted to any angle by loosening the set screw. The sliding member is made in the shape of a protractor and graduated accordingly. On the straightedge slides a member holding piece of marking chalk. In use. the straight edge is set at right angles and its sliding member is moved to tho de sired width. By sliding the straight- edge at right angles chalkline Is drawn on the glass.

Olive oil In Nursery.

For a child wh6 is emaciated from Illness a massage with olive oil once or even twice day will supply the needed fat to the body and also lubri- cate the dried-out skin. A teaspoon. full of olive oil three times a day is a good tonic, good for digestion and a mild laxative when given to a baby an hour before or after a feeding. It will also soothe tickling cough. Olive oil is also healing for burns, chapped lips and hands.

Characters Of Justice,

It Is finely said by Plato that as the knowledge that is divested of justice deserves the appellation of cunning. rather than wisdom, so a mind unsus, ceptible of fear, if animated by private interest and not public utility, deserves the character of audaciousness, rather than of fortitude. We therefore require that all men of courage and magnanim. ity should be at the same time men of virtue and of simplicity, lovers of truth, and enemies to all deceit, for these are the main characters of Sps. tice.-Cicero.

BAD SEED OR BUGS, WHICH.
Combat Southern Corn Root Worw
 Which Is Prevalent in Arkansas.

Although the seedsman Is blamed for every poor stand of corn and cot ton, an investigation will show in many cases the poor stand is caused by either wire worm or by the South ern corn root worSS. These insects and the cut worm are to be controlled to a great extent by common sense farm practices.
 Wire worms are long, slender vel Jewish or brown grubs, with smooth, glossy and unusually large bodies. They are the insects which bore ir1- to a kernel of corn or a cotton seed. or in fact any kind of seed, usually at the time that 1t Is germinating. These worms are the larvae of the bottles which are variously known as jack. snapers, click.beetles, snap-jacks or Mexican fleas. The most important step in the control of this insect is late summer or fall breaking, the earlier the better. After breaking, the land should be allowed to lay in fal- low for about month, during which time 1t should be plowed thoroughly number of times. It may be seeded in tho fall with some cover crop. In order to lessen the damage to growing crops one should practice anything that will hasten the growth of the plants. This Is to get them past the stage when they are in the most dan. ger.
 Southern corn root worms or drill worms. These are slender, yellowish, white grubs about one-half an inch long, which drill into corn stalks and cause them to wilt or even die. They are the larvae or grub of the little green cucumber beetle so common dur. ing the growing season. Where they are numerous enough to warrant spe. cial treatment the only practical means of controlling them is to plant the corn late. about May s, for the southern part of the state, May 12 for the central part, and May 19 for the northwestern corner. Land should be well drained, we'll cultivated and we'll fertiiized to avoid injury.
