TORNADO BLOWS WATER
FROM LARGE SLOUGH

WEBSTER, S. D.. July 1O-(special.) y
For weeks William Cass. a farmer living
in Morton township, has been puzzled to
know how he could drain an immense
slough on his farm so he could cut the
hay from the land covered by the slough.
Yesterday a baby tornado visited his farm
and accommodatingly solved the problem
for him by sucking up practically every
drop of water in the slough. Now he
can go ahead and cut the hay as soon as
the grass has attained the proper height.
The slough covered three or four acres
and the water was from two to three feet
in depth. The twister passed almost d.
rectly through the center Of Il.

| ment to completely disregard the Amer
lean point OF view. There were intima-
tons that in Berlin official quarters the
belief prevailed that IN the United states
public sentiment was divided since MT
Bryan's resignation and that the separs-
ton of passenger and cohtraband traffic
was favored here as a means OF com
promising the issue.
The official text of the note today was
probably somewhere between Copenhagen
and New York on its way to the STATE
department. The first word that came TO
the State department today was that Am
bassador Gerard had late yesterday noti-
fled the telegraph office at Copenhagen
that IT was on its way to the cable.
Officials thought the first sections
would begin coming through tonight. The
last note from Berlin took thirty hours
to reach Washington. 1t will take sew

BERLIN (Vin London. July 10.)-Com-
menting on the German reply of July s
to the American note dated June 9, rela-
tive to Germanys submarine warfare and
it's effect on American interests the
AtorKen Post today says:
THE answer in every way is worthy
of Germany. 1t shows the calm Of a good
conscience, a willingness to lessen the
fearfulness OF war as far as possible and
an upright wish to live in peace with
America But it also expresses q firm
will not to abate one jot or little of Ger
manys rights. The answer clearly shows
that the responsibility for the form OF
submarine warfare rests on Great
Britain"
The Morgen Post quotes the American
note where II declares that the govern
ment Of the United States cannot admit
that the proclamation of q war zone from
which neutral ships have been warned to
keep away may be made to operate as In
any degree an abbreviation of the rights
either of American shipmasters or OF
American citizens bound on lawful er-
rands as passengers on merchant ships
of belligerent nationality" and says;
This was a point on which American
and German conceptions were opposed 70
each other and it must be pointed out
that this difference of opinion also Is not
compromised by the new German note,
but that rather IL still exists in its essen
tial features
Tho Morgen Post also says:
Feeling in the United States is changed
from what II was at the time OF the
Lusitania sinking and President Wilson
will have to satisfy this new feeling In
considering and answering the present
note. That the note will meet unrestrained
approval at the hands of a large part OF
Americans is certain"
