EAST MISSISSIPPI
CROPS NEED RAIN
oh'inucd tair weather Favorable to
Cotton Planting; In West Winter
Wheat l. Good.

WASHINGTON, April 21.-Con-
tinued lack Of rain east of the Mis-
slssippl river during the last week has
seriously checked plant growth. but
the generally warm and fair weather
has permitted uninterrupted prepara-
tons for planting cotton, corn and
oats.
The department Of agriculture re-
ported today in its national weather
and crop bulletin that winter wheat
east of the Mississippi continued in
good condition in most of the Ohio
valley although growth has been
much retarded by lack of rain. while
in the Atlantic coast states the crop,
In poor condition this spring, has
made little progress.
Winter wheat west of the Missis-
Sippi, however. made excellent growth
Spring wheat in southern districts is
growing under favorable conditions,
but severe drought prevails in North
Dakota.
Cotton planting progressed satisfac-
tOrily In Texas. oklahoma and parts
Of Louisiana and Arkansas the soil Is
well supplied with moisture, but east
ward rain is needed.
\ drought in part of the Philippine
hemp district already has produced an
estimated crop reduction Of 35 per
cent below normal.

Bryan Says American Has
No Authority to Place
Embargo on Arms.
EXCEPTION TAKEN
TO KAISER'S NOTE
I'm a Friendly But Frank
Statement Wilson's Po-
1. sition Re-Stated.

NASHINGTON, April 21-The
w United States government re-
piled today to tie recent memoir
andum in which Count Won Bern
storff, the German ambassador, de-
clared that 'if the American people
desire to observe true neutrality. they
will find means to stop the exclusive
importation OF arms to one side, or at
least to use this export trade as a
means to uphold the legitimate trade
with Germany especially the trade in
foOdstuffs."
The American note, which is signed
by Secretary Bryan, was drafted at
the state department but finally was
penned by President Wilson himself.
After pointing out that the language
used by Count Won Bernstorff lis sus-
ceptible of being construed as i'm
puGning the good faith of the United
States in the performance of it's du-
ties as neutral" the note takes 1t
for granted that no such implication
was intended, and suggests that evi-
IDENTITY the German ambassador "is la
boring under certain false impress
sions."
It is then declared that while the
relations of the United states with
any one of the belligerents "can not
wisely be made a subject of discussion
with "A third government" such cor
respondenCe between the United
States and the allies as has been pub
lshed shows the "steadfast refusal
Of the government "to acknowledge
the right of any belligerent to alter
the accepted rules of war at sea, in
sofar as they affect the rights ana
interests Of neutrals
Can't Place Embargo.
The attitude of the United States on
the question of expectations OF arms
Is restated-namely, that to place any
embargo on arms during the progress
of war would be "a direct violation
OF the neutrality of the United states.
The note refers to the spirit of friend
ship which the United States desires
always to manifest toward Germany
and its people and concludes with the
declaration that the neutrality or the
United States 'is founded upon the
firm basis of conscience and good
will"
The text of the note follows:
"EXcellcnCy: | have given thouBht-
full consideration to your eXcellency 5
