Democracy, repeated his expressions
of admiration for President Wilson, in

HIDDEN lMPU3ITY

eff American women knew how
much of our Coffee lies on the ground

swept up and harvested, greater care

But its moldy color is lost in the roast

until 1t comes up harsh and bitter in

known to importers, for few Of them
have studied conditions existing prior
to the arrival Of their ships in port"
So writes F. c. Harwood. And Mr..
Harwood knows. His long experience
IN the tropical coffee growing coun-

lion owners, his close study of their
customs, their methods and the
Tricks of their Trade" has acquired
or him fund of knowledge which
places him far in the leadership OF
coffee connoisseurs, both here and
abroad.
Denison's Coffees are selected by F.
C. Harwood. personally, and 1t is here
that his power in the Coffee Industry
manifests itself to the qualification of
Denison's Brands. His wisdom and
critical discrimination is appreciated
by Coffee Growers the world over, and
their respect gives him first choice of

pure, hand-picked berries find their

Family occasions ought to be cele-

helps to promote affection. Whatever

to every member of the family, and
can be made an occasion that will

These facts were established when

had been instructed by the Berlin for
eign office to lay before the American

an opportunity to present her side;
it declares that all of the evidence
now before the American government
comes from British sources and res
cued passengers who undoubtedly
were laboring under excitement; it as
sures the American government that
if American lives were lost, such a
thing was naturally contrary to the
intentions of the German government"

lives were lost, the German govern

No Word from Submarine Captain.
The German note informs the Unit
ed States that no report has been re-
ceived from the German submarine
commander supposed to have torpe
doed the Arabic, and that therefore
it is unable to present a statement
of facts as known to the German min
istry of marine.
The note is gratifying to the United
States because of the spirit in which
it is written, but it leaves unsettled
the fundamental issues between the
two governments, for it does not con-
vey a disavowal of the submarine
commanders act. Its chief import
ance lies in the fact that it conveys
unquestionable evidence that Germany
is not Indifferent to the prospect for
trouble with the United States 1t in

it does not present new facts for the
consideration of the United States II

able delay in collecting all of the evil

and to act Immediately in the light of

EVIDENCE CONFLICTS.
Charles Wilson Testifies That Berry
Fired First Shot.

Goodland, Kan, July 6.-Charles
Wilson of Benkelman, Neb., and
former Dewey employee, was the first
witness in the chair in the Berry
Dewey damage suit for $4,000 against
Chauncey Dewey, millionaire ranch
man, when proceedings began
this morning. Wilson testified that
his horse was killed in the bat
tie between men of the Dewey and
Berry ranches. Its position he
claimed, proved the defendants con-
.tention that Burchard Berry fired the
first shot and that shot killed the
horse.
Witnesses for the plaintiff have
testified that Burchard Berry's revolt
yer was found in the scabbard on the
dead body fully loaded.
Beach Berry took the stand during
the morning session to correct his pre-
vious testimony concering the arms
carried by his brother. His testimony
apparently conflicts materially with
his evidence in the criminal court.
Joe Young of Oberlin was the
stand when court adjourned at noon.
He was court stenOgrapher in the
criminal trial and is giving some evil
dence favorable to Dewey.
