GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS ARE
CONCERNED OVER DEPARTURE
OF sEAcolNG MOTOR BOATS.
Belief Held That Wealthy Mexicans
are Financing Filibusterina Expedi-
ton and That Small Boats are to
Carry Arms for RaidirG.

Washington.---A tangled skein OF cir
cumstances is perplexing officials here,
pointing either to an institution Of a
new commerce raiding campaign by
Germans in the Caribbean sea. or the
beginning Of a series of filibustering ex-
petitions against Mexico. The Justice
navy and state departments have
worked on the mystery several weeks,
without result.
The departure OF several seagoing
motor boats. the escape OF German
warrant officers interned at Norfolk
and the mysterious movements of sew.
eral American yachts in the Gulf OF
Mexico have baffled not only officials
Of the Washington government, who
are anxious to prevent violations OF
neutrality through use of American
territory as a base of naval operations,
but also agents OF the British govern
ment, who fear a commerce raiding
campaign is about to be begun against
the tank steamers which carry oil from
Mexican ports for use OF the British
navy.
Officials have two theories as to the
meaning Of this series of happenings.
One is that wealthy Mexicans in the
United States are financing filibuster-
ing expeditions that have some con-
nections with the raids in the vicinity
of Brownsville, Texas, and the other is
that small boats putting out from the
United States are being met at sea
and armed with guns OF medium cali
Der for raiding purposes.

GROW HARDY ROSES
ay ELIZABETH VAN sEnrHuysEN.

ny ELIZABETH VAN BENTHuYsEN.
The season OF bloom of the hybrid
perpetual" can be greatly extended by
intelligent cultivation and a proper
selection of varieties. The sturdy
bushes should carry their beautiful
flowers way into the fall. We have
come to think of roses in the fall as
delusion and snare, excepting, OF
course, the hybrid teas, which have
SO long been regarded in America as
the only everblooming roses. There
are, however, good dozen and half
that can be relied upon to give sec
ond crop OF bloom and be thing of
beauty In August and September.
The Frau Karl Druschki, one OF the
very best and most popular plants
ever raised, has done more to redeem
hardy rose culture than any other
hybrid perpetual class 1t adapts
itself to almost any soil, and stands
unique as hardy white rose of its
class.
The very best of the long season
boomers In pink include the Mrs.
John Laing, pure. pale pink; Madame
Gabriel Luizet. deep rosy pink with
white at the base much like the Mrs.
r. @. Sharman-Crawford.

son of ordinary rose bloom, and Is the
largest, most vigorous looking and
sturdiest Of the roses so often ac-
cused of being coarse on account of
their enormous growth.
The deepest colored latest Towering
rose is Louis Van Houtte. This is one
of the very best black-crimson, hardy
roses for any time of the year. 1t has
competitor in Horace Vernet, deep
purplish red shaded with dark Grim
son.
The careful cultivator must not sit
down and expect plants to do their
best with little attention. Eternal
vigilance is the price OF good roses.
Plenty of good feeding, plenty of cul-
tivation, early spring pruning and
manuring will usually repay the anna
teur.
Cut off the flowers as they fade in
June and July. Cut back the flower
ing growth one-third, thus leaving
about foot of the seasons growth
The side branches that develop will
ordinarily give mowers In due season.
1t is quite possible to have second
bloom from some of the Wichuraiana
roses. The tendency to second bloom
is latent and needs development With
congenial soil these roses will give
pretty show of flowers the latter
part of September and during October.

FERNS EASY TO RAISE
BY L. M. BENNINGTON.

The ordinary way to propagate this
class of plants is by dividing the
plant, by the creeping rhizomes. by
the little bulblets that form on the
fronds and by the seeds or spores that
appear on the underside of the leaves.
The enterprising fern lover will find
it most interesting to propagate by
spores and perchance produce really
valuable addition to these beautiful
and graceful plants.
Procure seed pan or box with
plenty of drainage holes. and cover
the bottom with broken croekery. On

London.-Th Bulgarians, according
to their official report. have reached
Uskup, an important junction on the
SaloniktNish railway, and have thus
placed themselves across the route by
which the allies reinforcements for
the Serbs would travel
The AustrolGermans, in the north,
have begun more vigorous offensive
and have crossed the Danube near Or

linking up of the armies of the Ger

and the opening of the way through
Bulgaria to Constantinople.
Success is not being achieved with
out heavy losses, as the Serbian vet

and are making the invaders pay a
big price for every mile of country in

French troops are fighting beside
the Serbs in the southeastern sections,
and reports from Athens say that other
steps are being taken by the allies to
help their small partner. = Additional
troops are being landed at Saloniki;
Bulgarian ports in the Aegean and
Black seas are being bombarded, and
1t is believed that men and munitions
will be sent to Serbia by still another
route.

Greece and Roumania, however, the al

to do much for some weeks.
The Russian troops, who have land

very heavy fighting was still In prog

Dvina, southeast of Riga, but north

attempt to reach the river, and claims
to have forced the Russians from their
positions. inficting great losses on
them and taking nearly 5000 prisoners.

On the rest of the eastern front the
Russians continue their isolated at
tacks, which are designed to prevent
the Germans from establishing line

ceeded in doing before Warsaw last
year, after the first attempts to take
the city failed.
Except for few attacks by the Ger
mans the fighting in the west has con-
sisted for the most part in artillery en-
gagements and some exciting contests
between the airmen.
