IN THE HOME GROUNDS
BY EBEN e. RExEORp.

| @SStN VIII.
This month will be a busy one fol
the gardener. There will be plants tc
put out, weeds to pull, insects to kill
quite enough to keep one at work
most of the time.
l do my transplanting on cloudy
days, If possible, but IL the weather
persists in being sunshiny, do the
work after shutdown. Before lifting a
Seeding, apply enough water to
thoroughly saturate the soil in which
1t is growing. II this is done, the
young plant can be moved without ex.
posure to the roots. and 1t will receive
no check whatever, but will keep on
growing as If nothing had happened
to 1t. But allow its tender delicate
roots to be exposed to air for ever SO
little a time and you run a serious
risk OF losing your plant.
II this does not happen, 1t will re-
ceive check from which 1t will take
long time to recover.
One cannot be too careful with any.
thing as delicate as a Seeding plant.
In bright weather newly transplanted
seedlings will require shading for a
day or two. l cut out a circle of
coarse brown paper. about a foot
across, make a slit to the center on
one side of it, and fold the paper over
two or three inches, running a wire
out and in through the folded part.
This wire serves to hold the paper to-
gether and acts as a support for the
little brown paper umbrella.
1t should be at least twelve inches
long-long enough to insert in the
ground close to the Seeding. and hold
the paper cone well above the plant it
Is designed to protect. This kind of
covering keeps the sun away from
the plant, but does not interfere with
free circulation of air about 1t.
What kind of a support are you 60
ing to give your gladioli? Tying their
stalks to sticks gives them such a stiff
and prim appearance that / always
feel sorry for the poor plants. A stick
in the center Of a clump does not
furnish a really satisfactory support
to the stalks on the outside of 1t, and
hoop supported on sticks is open to
the objection of being only a little
better than nothing.
Here is my plan-and one that
works well, and can be easily carried
out. l take a strip of coarse mesh
wire netting of the size of the lad

Each Sounding the Other.

warfare precipitated by the sinking Of

stages of confidential exchanges. The

ernment's second note of protest are In
process They are now practically ne
gotiations within negotiations, each
government privately sounding out the
other endeavoring TO reach a common
ground.
This Is the situation, according 10 in
formation from sources close TO Presi-
dent Wilson. A report from Ambassa-
dor Gerard was sent here by Secretary
of State Lansing. A brief reply was
sent to Lansing. 1t is believed that
the president asked to have further de-
tails by mail Of Cerard's report before
sending the American ambassador final
instructions.
The exchange OF private communica-
tions and also the hesitant attitude of
Berlin. Gerard's report indicated, will
probably delay for several days the
presentation OF the kaiser's response
This Is regarded by the president more
as a hopeful than disappointing sign
for ultimate success of the negotia-
tions. The administration regards the
sounding out" of Gerard In private as
distinct indication OF Germany's de
sire TO meet as far as possible the de

evidence Of Germany's friendly and

Washington, July 7:-That the
navy department sent wireless mes
sages to the steamship Philadelphia
and Saxonia warning them that
Frank Holt had declared that ship
which sailed July would be sunk
July was confirmed today. 1t was
stated that the department expected
the warning would be picked up by
any other boats which sailed the
same day.
The first wireless messages were
sent Tuesday night and the station
continued to send flashes throughout
the night.
The warning letter was one which
Holt wrote his wife and which was
forwarded to the state department
by Joseph E. CoCkrell, of Dallas,
Tex. The letter follows:
The steamers leaving New York
for Liverpool on July should sink
on the 7th, God willing. l think 1t
is the Philadelphia or Saxonia, but
am not quite sure for according to
schedule these left on the third"
Holt had written on the margin of
tulo lStISi OppO6AlS luS al AAA 5
message:
Tear this off until it happened" "
1t is believed that he left out the
word has before the word hap
pened."
This letter Mrs. Holt Immediately
turned over to Texas authorities who
instantly telegraphed to Washington.
AS soon as the message was received
it was communicated to Superin-
tendent Pullman, of the Washington
police. He asked the navy depart
ment to get its wireless into play.
Pullman also communicated with
Police Commissioner Woods, of New
York, who Immediately started a
search of all vessels in the harbor
which Holt might have planted
The navy wireless station at Ar
lington is not tuned to communicate
with the Philadelphia or Saxonia, so
the Commercial wireless was requi-
sitioned and the sea was Immediately
swept for the warnings. 1t is stated
the authorities have no means of
knowing that either ships were
reached, but they believed the calls
were received by them.
The New York police were also
asked to do everything possible to
determine whether Holt had an op-
portunity to plant a bomb on either
ship or whether a possible confeder-
ate could have done it for him.
When the message to Holt's wife was
received in Washington it was at
first believed that the writer was
merely prophesying disaster, but the
marginal portion to his wife to tear
off that part of the letter is accepted
as ominous. The fact that he
seemed doubtful which ship was in
danger led authorities to believe he
had an accomplice whose task was to
plant the bomb.
Police Commissioner Woods tele-
phoned Superintendent Pullman last
night that Holt had been shot by
some one outside his cell, but a later
telephone message corrected the
statement.

No Dynamite on Philadelphia.

Special By United Press Wire.
New York. July Interest in
the whereabouts of the dynamite
trunk" Frank Holt declared he
placed aboard a transatlantic boat
centered on the Cunard liner Sax
onia steaming across the Atlantic in
the direction of Liverpool. A wire
less from Captain Mills from the
Philadelphia definitely disposed Of
the possibility that the trunk was
aboard his vessel. Mills wired that
every piece of baggage was identified
following receipt of a wireless mes
sage of warning. The Cunard of
ficials admitted they heard nothing
from Captain Diggle, of the Saxonia,
in response to the warning flashed to
him, but they were positive, they de-
clared, that Holt's trunk of eXplo-
sives could not have been smuggled
aboard the Saxonia. They pointed
out that the inspection of baggage
at their piers, particularly since the
outbreak of the war. precluded the
idea that such a scheme might have
succeeded.
The Cunard officials too secuted
the idea that Holt placed dynamite
aboard any liner at all. They &C
cepted the story of Holt as the fab
rication of an insane man.
