Washington, Feb. 24.-The senate
naval committee decided to enlarge
the submarine arm Of the sea defense
of the nation. In calling up the army
appropriation bill on Monday Senator
Chamberlain declared in favor OF

900 men and said any further reor-
ganization of the army must go over
to the next congress.
The naval committee increased the
number of submarines OF the seago-

house to five, each to have surface
speed Of not less than twenty knots

total service of every naval officer

country for an adequate navy was
voiced by Senator Smoot of Utah in

SAYS SEA ORDER
VIOLATES TREATY
Wilson and Cabinet Draft Reply to
Germany-Pact Protects Com
merce.

Washington, Feb. 22.-In a note
drafted by the cabinet at momentous
meeting at the White House on Fri
day, President Wilson will tell Ger
many that the "war zone" decree is in
violation of treaty stipulations en-
tered into with the United States,
which guarantee to the United States,
noninterference with its sea commerce
when Germany is at war, and which
grant the same privileges to Germany
when the United States Is a belliger-
ent.
The treaties specifically set forth
that if either nation Is at war the neu-
trail nations commerce and inter
course with any nation at war with
the other party to the treaty shall
not be interrupted" and con the con-
trary" "the vessels Of the
neutral party may navigate to and
from the ports and on the coasts Of
the belligerent parties"
The first treaty, to which the at
tention of Germany will be drawn, is
that made under the direction of
Frederick the Great, and signed by
his representative and by Benjamin
Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and John
Adams.
The second treaty is that signed by
John Quincy Adams and the repre-
sentatives of the king Of Prussia.
Both these treaties expired by their
own limitation, the first in 1896, the
second in 1910. But the provisions
which guarantee immunity to Ameri-
can ships and American citizens, and
which the government authorities in
sist apply in the present instance,
were continued by the treaty Of 1928.

TAKES NERVE TO THIN FRUIT
Practice Has Become Quite Popular
With Some OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
of Time Is Small Item.
(By w. H. M'CURDY.)

(By w. II. M'CURDY)
One of the most noted peach grow
ers in this country tells how his neigh
bors wondered when they saw him
picking off the major portion of his
first peach crop.
They shook their heads and won
dered at the absurd proceeding of the
man who had peculiar views about
peach growing. But that season when
his peaches proved bumper crop they
changed their minds Since that time
the thinning of peaches has been popu-
lar with the more progressive neigh
bOrS.
The thinning of peaches or any
fruit must be conducted with judg-
ment. 1t is not by any means advis-
able to thin every tree regardless of
how much fruit it carries. Some trees
set so little fruit that all can be
ripened without overtaxing the tree
or without producing understood fruit.
Some charge up the cost of thinning
as an extra expense on the orchard.
But anyone who has gathered fruit
knows that fruit gathering is a slow
task, especially with fruit that has to
be handled as carefully as does the
peach.
The picking of the small green
peaches at thinning time removes the
necessity of picking off many Of these
same peaches later on.
When they are thinned they are SIM
ply pinched off and allowed to fall on
the ground, while later if allowed to-
ripen they must be put carefully in
baskets.
The expense of time in pinching off
small fruit is only fraction of that
required in gathering the same peach
when it is ripe enough to market.
Of course, there is an Offset in the
fact that some Of the young peaches
would be switched off by the wind
later, but in the main it may be stated
that no more labor is required to thin
peaches and gather the remainder
when ripe than to gather the harvest
that results without thinning.

Democratic Promises Disconn,ed.

III,
President Wilson and some mem-
bers of his cabinet seem to be worked
up because there is opposition to the
government ship purchase bill. They
resent the incredibly of certain
statesmen who point out the dangers
of the measure as they see them; and
who view with alarm the dangerous
precedent to which the country would
be committed. In order to meet this
opposition the president and MR.
field, are to make some speeches on
behalf Of the measure, and describing
what the bill will do for the country.
Now it occurs to The News that had
the same two advocates not given
such unstinted support to the Under

lures which were to be of such UNI

greater confidence In the country to-

The Republican press was right in
the last campaign, when it declared
that Thomas q. Hodges was TO be
provided for, IN the event he was not
elected to Congress. Hodges hesi-
lated TO accept the nomination. He
did not want to resign the presidency
of the state university but the EN-
'tlslcement" came.
II was generally believed that he
would be given an appointment well
worth while. but he is to bio let down
hard, 1t seems, as Congressman
Brown mas recommended him for the
postanastersiiip at Morgantown at a
SALARY OF only $2,SG9 year. This
amount is little more than, half, the
salary me received as president of the
state university, o position Republi-
cans gave him.. The difference shows
how poorly he fares at the hands of
Democracy as compared with the
manner in which Republicans treated
dim.
Even the most brilliant sometimes
have to walk in the lowly paths of
life as shown by the probable Hodges
appointment.
