Cabinet Approves Wilson's
Reply to Germany.

lin Government Regarding the Rights
of Noncombatants.

Washington, June president
Wilson has finished the new note to
Germany and laid it before the cabi-
net. 1t probably will be dispatched
to Berlin within twenty-four hours.
No arrangements have yet been made
as to the time when it will be made
public.
White House officials said that
while the president had penned the
note himself he had consulted with
Secretary Bryan over both principles
and details. He also has been in con-
slant consultation with Counselor
Lansing and also Attorney General
Gregory, who investigated affidavits
that the Lusitania carried guns.
The government is convinced that
there is no ground for that contention
and the note will SO inform Germany.
While the president and the cabi'
net were discussing the note a Ger.
man agent was on his way to Berlin
TO present a first hand report of the
interview which Count Won Bern
storff, the German ambassador, had
Wednesday with President Wilson.

but it became known authoritatively
that Meyer Gerhard, who sailed from
New York Thursday for Copenhagen
on the steamer United States with q
guarantee of safe conduct obtained
by the American government frsn
the allies, is the man. He is an at
tache of the German colonial Office
and has been in the United States
several months representing the Ger

He goes TO Berlin to present first

from President Wilson. Difficulties

The dispatch of the envoy was the
basis of much confidence in German
quarters here, where 1t was believed

the United States could be evolved

WONDERFUL ENGINES OF WAR

The Germans have adopted several
Ingenious devices to cope with prob
lens not foreseen at the start of the
war, such as armored car destroyers,
quick.tlring guns on motorcycles,
canal gunboats. and other similar in
ventions. A wonderful stereo-telescope
produced by the famous firm Of Beiss
deserves inclusion. Every battery of
German artillery Is provided with one.
It is a remarkable instrument. which
can be used behind cover out Of
sight of the enemy. The outstanding
features are two long slender arms
rather like the antennae of an insect.
Though absolutely invisible at a very
short distance, the antennae can give
the hidden operator very extensive
view. To insure the accurate drop
ping of bombs from aeroplanes, the
Germans have an air-gun appliance
which pushes the bomb out from the
back of the aeroplane with the same
velocity as that at which the aero
plane Is flying, thus doing away with
the curve with which the bomb would
fall If mercy dropped by hand Quite

APPLE TREES SHOULD
BE PRUNED EVERY YEAR

If the apple tree Is moderately
pruned every year, new growth and
fruit spurs are continually being
produced, according to DR.. Leon ID.
Bachelor, head of the Horticultural
department of the Utah Agricultural
College. II years Of neglect precede
the pruning, tn etwig growth which
will follow is likely to throw the tree
out Of bearing. Therefore II the
tree is extremely dense, or If the
shape is to be changed, radically, 1t
is much better to distribute the
pruning over a number Of years ra-
Their than bring about such change
in single year.
The shape OF the tree can be ma
terially changed or the neglected
tree can be thinned out and consid-
erably remodeled and still keep the
tree bearing IL this severe pruning
is distributed through a number of
years.

GERMANS IN EAST

Stream Is Shot Through Tube

Armed With Bayonets

Petrograd, Feb. 14.-Russian staff
officers assert today that notwith-
standing the reocsupation OF the
crown land of Bukowina by Austro-
German armies, 1t does not con-
stitute menace to the Russian flank
or to the Russian position about the
town Of Lemberg.
In the mountain passes, where
much fighting at close range is TAX
ing place, the Germans have produc-
ed new fighting machines in the
shape of bomb throwers and fire
spouters. The former continuance
consists OF a small apparatus cap
able of being carried by two men. 1t
throws a 80 pound bomb a distance
OF 200 or 800 yards into the lines Of
their opponents. The other contriv-
an.e consists of tube through which
stream OF burning oil is forced a
distance of yards and which covers
with flame everything 1t touches.
This apparatus is reported to be
employed against bayonet charges, a
favorite mode of Russian fighting.

ter dropping light balls, had headed
north in the direction OF Ottawa.
At II o'clock the authorities had
the street lights of Ottawa turned out
and at the same time the lights on
the parliament buildings were OBJ
scured by the drawing of window
shades. Lights at Rideau hall. the

can Note Produced Supreme
impression

Washington. Feb, 14,-Press re-
poi.s anpeuncng that the German
emperor, had Invited Ambassador
Gerard to confer. with him at the
battlefront were read tonight with
keen interest, by officials or the Uni
states government. Aside from
the indication that the American note
had produced an impression of SUI
preme importance, II was thought
that the empe or had decided on a
conference so quickly because only
four days remain before the German
admiralty's proclamation for sub
marine campaign on merchant ships
goes into effect.
1t was believed here that the am
bassador might explain at length
the American viewpoint, as he Is re-
ported to have done In conference
with the imperial chancellor and that
perhaps one of the chief purposes
OF the informal conferences with
Ambassador Gerard was to elicit
from the American government some
understanding as to its position re-
parding shipments of conditional
contraband destined to Germany's
civilian population. 1nasmuch as
the German sea war zone proclama
ton is described as q retallatory step
against the allies because OF the al
legged interference by the latter with
shipments of foodstuffs destined for
the population of Germany, the grow
ing importance of this question was
generally admitted here. There Is
every reason to believe that 1t will
be one of the chief points made by
the United States in its next com
munication to Great Britain on the
subject of :ontraband.
The long supplementary reply from
the British government to the Ameri'
can note of protest Of December %
had not been transmitted in full to-
night, but officials expect a complete
copy of it will be ready for their
perusal tomorrow. The British COM
munication Is devoted almost entirely
to statistics OF neutral commerce
and an explanation of various deten-
tions and seizures of American ships
and cargoes.
