Long acquainted as this Govern

the Imperial German Government and
with the high principles of equity by
which they have in the past been
actuated and guided, the Government
of the United States cannot believe
that the commanders of the vessels
which committed these acst of law

apprehension Of the orders issued by
the Imperial German naval authori-

GERMANY MODIFIES THREAT
Revolving Disclaimer Of Responsibility
For Injury To Vessels Entering
Naval War Zone, Berlin Offers
To Pay For Damage Done.

Washington. - Germany, through
Ambassador Gerard. notified the
United States that submarine com
handlers had been specifically in
structed not to harm neutral vessels
not engaged in hostile acts, and thai
Germany would pay for damages TO
such ships in the war zone.
Neutral ships carrying contraband
will be dealt with, the announcement
says, according to the rules OF naval
warfare. If neutral ships are acct
ientally damaged in the war zone, Ger
many will express its regret and pay
damage without prize court proceed
ng.
The German Government justi6es its
submarine warfare On the grounds that
England threatened to starve the
civilian population of Germany by pro
libiting neutral commerce in foodstnffs
and other necessities.
In previous communications Ger
many has disclaimed responsibility for
any harm that might befaIl neutral
vessels venturing into the war zone.
Hands Off Neutrals.
The text of the announcement
cabled by Ambassador Gerard, which
was issued by the Berlin Foreign
Office in the form Of circular, fol
lows:
81. The Imperial German Govern
nent naturally has no intention of
causing to be attacked by submarines
Or aircraft such neutral ships of com
nerce in the zone of naval warfare
definitely described in the notice of
the German Admiralty staff of Feb
ruary last, as have been guilty of no
hostile act On the contrary, the most
definite instructions repeatedly have
been issued to German war vessels to
avoid attacks on such ships under all
circumstances. Even when such ships
have contraband of war on board, they
are dealt with by submarines solely
according to the rule of international
law applying TO prize warfare.
~. Should a neutral ship neverthe-
less come to harm through German
submarines or aircraft on account OF
an unfortunate (word apparently miss
ing from dispatch) in the above-men-
toned zone Of naval warfare, the Ger
nan Government will unreservedly
recognize its responsibility therefore.
In such a case it will express its re-
grets and afford damages without first
institut.ng prize court action.
49, It is the custom of the German
Government, as soon as the sinking of
neutral ship in the aforementioned
zone of naval warfare is ascribed to
German war vessels to institute an i'm.
mediate investigation into the cause.
If grounds appear thereby to be given
for association of such q hypothesis.
the German Navy places itself in com
munication with the interested neutral
government so that the latter may also
institute an investigation.

There .s every reason to expect d bad year for bitter rot this year, and there is only one way to fight it. Prun. ing last winter would have helped. Al. so spraying about June 20 would have aided. But it Is now too late for either of these and should the dread. ed bitter rot appear in your orchard 1t means either light or quit
 The way to fight Is to spray at once with homemade Bordeaux mixture then, as soon as the orchard has been covered so over it again with the same mixture Everything depend, upon getting a perfect coating of the mixture on the fruit early In the light After the first double spraying, a sin gle spraying with the same mixture after two weeks will be necessary. Al ter this 1t will depend upon the weather how much other spraying must be done.
