Destruction Of Ship Planned.
Reports from Washington that it
was privately known in official quar-
ters that the Lusitania was to be tor
pedoed at the first opportunity gave
color to the opinion expressed in
shipping circles Friday night that the
embassy's warning was intended to
apply particularly to the Lusitania.
"Travelers intending to embark on
the Atlantic voyage" read the adver-
of war exists between Germany and
her allies and Great Britain and her
allies; that the zone of war includes
the waters adjacent to the British
Isles; that, in accordance with formal
notice given by the imperial govern
ment, vessels flying the flag of Great
Britain or any of her allies are liable
to destruction in these waters and
that travellers sailing in the war zone
on the ships of Great Britain or her
allies do so at their own risk"
Among the we'll known passengers
y
Vanderbilt, Charles T. Bowring of
New York, head of the firm of Bow
ring Bros; Alexander Campbell, gen
eral manager for John Dewar & Sons,
London; Ebert Hubbard, publisher
of Philistine; D. A. Thomas, the veal
thy Welsh coal operator, and his
daughter, Lady Mackworth.
Mr.. Vanderbilt was among those
credited with receiving anonymous
letters of warning. All deprecated
the possibility of danger to the ship,
and Charles P. Sumner, general agent
of the line, announced at the time
that the Lusitania's speed of twenty
five knots made it immune from sub
marine attack.
Washington Stunned BY Loss.
Washington, D. c., May de-
struction of the Lusitania with the
loss of many lives shocked officials of
the United States government and
spread profound grief in the national
capital.
The warning of the United States
that Germany would be held to
"strict accountability for the loss of
American lives" irrespective of
whether they were aboard belligerent
or neutral vessels when attacked, TO-
cussed attention on the White house,
where President Wilson until late in
the night read the dispatches with
grave interest. The president made
no comment. Officials said facts and
circumstances would have to be OBJ
tanned by careful investigation dur
ing the next few days before any an
nouncement could be made by the
American government.
Claim Liner Carried Arms.
At the German embassy here, while
no comment was made as to whether
it was known there that the vessel
was to be destroyed, it was said the
embassy knew the Lusitania carried
arms and ammunition, and being ad-
vised of the resolution of the German
admiralty to attack ships that carried
such contraband, officials had be-
lieved it would be attacked. There
was a disposition on the part of the
Germans to inquire whether the Lusi-
which might place it in the class of
warship and make unnecessary, ac-
cording to the laws of international
warfare, the giving of a warning.

Potato Planters Take Notice!

Office of Information, U. $. Department of Agriculture.
 Washington D. c. = Truck growers who usually plant con- siderable acreage of potatoes are warned that there was, on Jan uary 1sr, 1915, very much larg CT supply of northern grown potatoes in the hands of grow CTS and dealers than was the case January 1, 1914. Experi- ence has demonstrated that large hold over crop of northern grown potatoes which is in good condition and selling at reason able price when the early truck crop potatoes reach the market means low prices-sometimes so low that the shipment of such crops nets loss to the grower Under such conditions a small acreage means a smaller loss than larger acreage.
 With 43, 100000 more bushels of potatoes in sight January 1, 1915 than were available at the same time last year and with a 1915 price of 43.2 cents as com pared with 66.2 cents a year ago a price which under the then ex- isting conditions did not improve before the truck crop began to move, there is little hope that the conditions will be better this year. The price now if just about B per cent less thar it was a year ago. The distribu- tion of the crop is much better than last season so there IS little likelihood that the price of hold over stock will reach last years mark even by the end of the storage season.

How Tollemache Took Charge

matter what the cost to herself and others,
he must be spared-at any rate till an

Remain where you are shall cause you

rored in your eyes, l may falter in my
duty"
Father and daughter We're animated by
the same thought. Each desired only to
tighten the shock for the other. Yvonne
nestled closer. More than ever was she
resolved to keep her woes to herself for the
hour. With an effort that cost a cruel
biting of her under lip, she contrived to
murmur without catch in her voice:
you're tired, Darling. Don't tell
me you're not. You ought to be in
bed and asleep. Let us wait till the
morning, and have nice long chat after

NO. said Ingersol firmly, II prom

"Lorry!" she gasped in a sudden fright
born of tho knowledge that had come to
her in the gloom down there by the whis-
pcring river, when a cold-blooded traf-
flicker in her mothers difficulties had
offered to sell his secret at the price of all
she held dear. "Lorry! How is Lorry
concerned in our present troubles?'
"Your troubles are his, Sweetheart

She went off without
any attempt at bidding
him farewell. Raymond
glared after her fixedly.
He was annoyed, almost
discounted, but not dis
heartened. He had taken
the step that counts. She
knew now what lay at
the back of his projects,
and that was a long stride
toward the goal. He

about her now. Life was
becoming too complex in

handle them alone. No

take control; but before
going to him she must
probe this miscreant's
full intent.

Al that crisis the image of Laurence

clear, precise enuncation recalled her
mother in every syllable.
"That is not fair way to put it, was
the hoarse answer; for the strain was be-

"Let me hear how you put it,, she went

AND now Tollemache, Yvonne's gallant but
unaccepted lover, takes charge of affairs at Pont
