George Bernhard. the political writer
of the Vossische Zeitung. says:
THE German note Indicates the I'M

attempt to prescribe how far we should
go and with what weapons we should
defend ourselves against the British

itself the right of control in harbors of

Americans the same thing they grant

The Lokal Anzeiger says:
Should President Wilson still have OBJ
Jections to make on this or that point.
We cannot help ii, for before We can
grant him the right to make regulations
for conducting our battle for honor and
existence against Great Britain it must
be after we have offered the last man
and the last nickel for the emperor and
the empire"
The Lokal Anzeiger hopes the note
will be favorably received, but declares
that in any event Germany has done her
utmost.

Submerged Timber.

The strength OF hemlock stick 4
foot square that had been in water for
almost forty years was recently test
ed in the 600.000-pound testing ma
chine at Rensselaer, Polytechnic insti-
tute at Troy, in New York. The tim
ber, which was 16 feet 3 inches long,
had formed part of one of the piers of
the Congress street bridge at Troy.
When the pier broke down after the
flood in the spring of 1913. the timber
was turned over to one of the mate
rial-testing laboratories of the insti-
tute. 1t was kept in the open air
for three months, and then placed in
a dry room for little more than nine
months. When placed in the testing
machine, the column failed under a
load of $4,000 pounds: that is. the
long-submerged wood showed an ulti-
mate strength of 2.67O pounds to the
square inch. In the opinion of Prof.
T. r. Lawson, who conducted the test.
the remarkable strength of this piece
of hemlock seems to show that be-
ing immersed in water for a long time
does not decrease the column strength
of timber that is subsequently permit
ted to dry out-Youth's Companion.
