POINTS ADVANCED BY
GERMANY AND AMERICA

Germany advances self defense in
support of submarine warfare against
befligerent merchant ships.
The United States holds that such
warfare is indefensible.
Germany declares that the Falaba
was sunk because she signalled for as
sistance.
The United States has declared that
no potential menace by submarines
justifies the death of the American,
Leon c. Thrasher.
Germany claims that carelessness or
suspicious acts of neutral vessels is
responsible for unjustified attacks by
German submarines.
The United States insists German
submarines have no right to make mis-
takes.
Germany charges that the Lusitania
carried mounted masked guns.
The United States denies that the
Lusitania left New York armed.
Germany describes the Lusitania as
a British auxiliary cruiser.
The United States declares the Lusi-
tania was an unarmed merchant pas
senger ship.
Germany alleges that by direct in
structons of their government British
merchantmen attack German subma.
rineS.
Germany announces that it will not
regard British ships as undefended
British territory
The United States holds that human,
ity and international law forbids the
exercise of revolving practice.
Germany alleges that an American
law was violated by the presence OF
explosives on the Lusitania
The United States asserts that NO
American law was violated
Germany suggests that it will cease
submarine warfare if the United
States will induce Great Britain to
surrender it's war against fo6dstuffs
intended for the people of Germany
The United States feels it cannot
barter with Great Britain over a
question which relates solely to Ger
many.

plete understanding, which is the aim
of both governments, the Imperial gov
eminent considers it first necessary
to convince itself that the information
accessible to both governments above
the facts of the case is important and
in accord.
The government of the United
States proceeds on the assumption
that the Lusitania could be regarded
as an ordinary unarmed merchantmen.
The Imperial government allows itself
IN this connection to point out that
the Lnsitania was one of the largest
and fastest British merchant ships,
built with government funds as an
auxiliary cruiser and carried express
iy as such in the navy list issued by
the admiralty.
Says Ship Carried Cannon.
1t is further known to the Imperial
government from trustworthy reports
from its agents and neutral passen-
gers, that for considerable time
practically all the more valuable Brit
ish merchantmen have been equipped
with cannon and ammunition and 9TH
er weapons manned by persons who
have been specially trained in serving
guns. The Lusitania, too, according
to information received here, had can
non aboard, which were mounted and
concealed below decks
The Imperial government further
has the honor to direct the particular
attention of the American government
to the fact that the British admiralty,
in a confidential instruction, issued in
February, 1915, recommended it's mer-
camille shipping not only to seek pro-

In some cases very good results
have been obtained by a single appli-
cation, but perfect results cannot be
had unless the first spraying Is fol-
lowed up, not only during the FIRST
season, but for every season.

The cooling moth, which probably
does more harm to apple orchards
than any other insect, is hard to reach,
and the greatest care must be taken
to apply the spray at exactly the right
time to put him out OF business.

turn, will be covered over soon after
the little apple forms by the five little
green lobes, which gradually close and
form the perfect roof over the cup

little apples. The worms do not hatch

apple forms, but az soon as they are
