fifty more passengers. Only forty-six
members Of the Falaba's crew of near
ly 120 have been landed at Cardiff.
Several of the liners crew were

the sides. The chief engineer and the
boatswain were instantly killed by the
explosion and II others we're killed
outright or were thrown into the wa

a crew of 120 men. Her officers state
that when the German submarine ap-

done torpedo struck the ship near
the engine-room:
Three of the Falabas libeboats were
swamped. Many persons aboard the
vessel were thrown into the sea,
where they struggled while the sub
marine circled about. A fishing boat
saved many of the passengers and
crew. Captain Davis of the liner was
picked up dead.

British Admiralty Believes Famous
German Submarine Sunk.
London, March 27-The admiralty
announced on Thursday that there was
good reason to believe the submarine
U-29 had been sunk with all hands.
New York, March 27.-If. as be-
iieved by the British admiralty, the
U-29 has been sunk with all hands,
the English are rid of the most de
structive of all the German undersea
terrors which have been preying on
their shipping. On March II and II
within thirty-six hours the U29 sunk
no less than six ships off the Scilly
islands According to letter from
the captain of the steamer Headlands,
one of the ships sunk, the U-29 was
commanded by Capt. Otto Weddingen,
who won fame and the iron cross on
the U-9 earlier in the war by sinking
the British cruisers Hogue, Aboukir,
Cressy and Hawke.

ANSWER TO HARVESTER BRIEF
u. S. Says Company Is UnduIy Re-

Washington, March 31.-"The Har-

able competitors together occupying
a preponderant position in trade and
commerce among the states in har-
vesting machines and other agricultu-
raj implements, and therefore, by it's
necessary effect unduly restricts COM
petitive conditions in violation of the
antitrust act.
THE Harvester company is also a
combination unduly restrictive of COM
petitive conditions because formed
with specific intent to monopo-

These are the grounds on which At

Supreme court to affirm the decree of

Minnesota, finding the international
Harvester company a combination in
restraint of trade and ordering it dis

NURSERY INSPECTION LAW
Trees for Planting Should Have
a Nursery Inspection Certi-
ficate Attached.

Do you want San Jose scale or
other dangerous insects or dis
eases on your fall planted fruit
trees? Then watch all deliver
les of nursery stock and see
that each one has an official in
spection certificate signed by
l.. Haseman, entomologist and
chief inspector. This certificate
of nursery inspection is issued
by the Agricultural Experiment
Station of the University Of Mis-
souri, and indicates that the
stock in question has been found
apparently free from danger
ously injurious insects or plant
diseases" by the chief inspector
or his deputy who may also sign.
If any trees are delivered
with such a certificate, the law
and your own protection both re-
quire that you report at once to
the chief Inspector Of nurseries,
Columbia, Missouri.
Stock shipped in from other
states must have a certificate
similar in every way except that
the Inspector of that state may
sign instead of the Missouri in
spector.
All agents who take orders in
Missouri are required to have
written permits to sell nursery
stock, and farmers and fruit
growers are urged to require
that the permit be shown
Agents who undertake to take
orders without such a permit
should be reported. Dealers il
in fruit trees must also have Ger
tifcates permitting them to car
ry on this trade even though
they do not act as the oHicia
agents of particular nurseries.
Through the annual inspection
which is required by law, the
Agricultural Experiment Station
hopes to secure better anC
cleaner nursery stock, but the
cooperation of the nurserymer
and fruit-growers in this work
is necessary if success is at
tanned.
