WAR-The last industry to be effected
by war or rumors of war; and the first to recov-
er from it, is the vast business of supplying the
world with food. The farmer needs your idle
funds to carry on this enterprise.
The farm is the very foundation Of wealth. A
mortgage on an improved farm represents the
highest grade of approved security because it is
based on the earth and it's fullness. The kind
that wont turn pale when strikes throw men
out of employment, or ''war extra throws a
holder of stocks into fit.
For select first mortgages on improved
farms see or address r. J. Penhallegon,

Washington Waits For Reports.

Washington.-The course of the
United States government in the case
Of the American steamer Nebraskan,
damaged off the coast of Ireland, is
undetermined because officials are
without definite information as to
whether the ship was torpedoed or
struck mine.
Messages from Ambassador Page
and Consul General Skinner, at Lon.
don, transmitted the report of the
British Admiralty that the yes.
sci had been torpedoed, but officials
noted with much interest the captains
report to- his owners, indicating a
doubt as to whether the Nebraskan
was hit by torpedo or a mine.
President Wilson himself read all
the official and unofficial dispatches.
In view of the positive position which
the United States has taken on the
subject of submarines actively in the
war zone and the delicacy Of the situa.
tion with Germany arising out of the
Lusitania disaster, the story of the Ne
braskan's experience is awaited with
unusual interest. Should 1t develop
clearly that she was torpedoed without
a warning an aggravating circumstance
will have been added to an already
tense situation, Notwithstanding the
fact that no lives were lost
Middletown transcript., 1915-06-05
j. S. CHALLENGES
ENGLAND'S RIGHT
Regulation Of Routes of Neutral
Ships is Attempted.
AN EXPLANATION is ASKED
The Regulations Involve Questions
Which Were Discussed in the
American Note Sent to
Germany.

Washington.-The last act Of Great
Britain in a supplemental order-in-
council, which practically undertakes
and other neutral vessels on the high
seas, has forced the United States to
challenge her right to make such reg
ulations.
The State Department was startled
and chagrined about a week ago to
be informed that the British admiralty
had undertaken to tell American ship
masters and others that they could
approach the Scandinavian countries
northward by way of the English Chan
mel only on permission through their
foreign representatives" More drastic
than this was the practical ultlmatum
that II vessels could not get such per-
mission they must take the southabout
route west of Ireland, then up the
Scotch coast and were not to approach
the Shetland Islands "by less than so
miles"
These regulations involve questions
which are discussed in the American
note to Germany and which come out
sharply in the incident of the Ne
braskan. The regulations on their face
are unwarranted restriction, officials
think, on the rights of neutrals in the
open sea. The United States does not
admit the right of Germany to stop
or regulate American traffic in the
English Channel. Now the British
government, in addition, assumes to
dictate course for neutrals on the
high seas around Ireland and the re-
mote islands Of Scotland
Officials say that no action will be
taken Immediately, as the note to
Ambassador Page on the subject mere
ly asks him to get an explanation"
from the British government
1t is evident, however, that pres
sure has been brought to bear from
some quarter on the United States
to make prematurely an issue with
Great Britain on points which are q
substantial part of the American note
to Germany. 1t has been stated in
very high circles in Washington that
this government did not propose to
make any issue with Great Britain on
the questions of blockade, rights of
ships on the high seas, mine areas,
etc, until Germany had answered
President Wilson's note. The present
inquiry, however, appears to operate
in the interest of Germany. 1t is
thought she may now postpone fur
ther her reply until Great Britain has
been given a reasonable time to an.
swer the new American inquiry.
