Imminent Over the Deutschland

London, July 1.-THE question OF
the possibility of a dispute between
Great Britain and the United States
over the status of the German COM
lmercial submarine Deutschland, which
arrived recently in the United States
was raised in the House of Commons
today by John Dillon, who asked Lord
Robert Cecil, Minister Of Commerce
to present Immediately to Parliament
the communications which had passed
between the two governments and to
undertake to keep the house fully in
formed of the course of negotiations in
this matter.
Lord Robert replied that the CORE
spondence was proceeding and that II
was not in the public interest that il
should be published now. He would
see that the suggestion to keep the
House informed Of the course Of the
negotiations was fully considered.
"Will you see," asked Mr.. Dillon
that Parliament is not committed to
a dispute with the United States with
out the House being given an oppor-
tunity of discussing the whole sub
ject?"
Lord Robert replied:
81 don't think the House would wish
me to give such an undertaking as
that, but will present the suggestion
to Sir Edward Grey"

Washington, July 17-There will be
no patrol of American warships of
the Virginia coast to see that allied
cruisers awaiting the temperance Of
the German merchant submarine
Deutschland stay outside Of the three
mile limit. Secretary Daniels said to-
day that the United States assumed
that its territorial waters would not be
violated by the allies men-of-war and
had no fear that the underwater mer-
chairman would be attacked before
she reached the high seas.
So far as can be learned the Wash
ington government has not been noti-
fed of the Deutschland's probable sail
ing, but 1t is believed that she VIII
drop down from Baltimore to some
cove in the Chesapeake Bay and from
there slip to sea on the first favorably
dark night.
Both the British and French En-
bassies have made representations TO
the State Department urging that the
Deutschland is a potential warship
not entitled to treatment in neutral
ports as a peaceful merchantmen.
The British statement of views was
presented in writing, but with the ex-
PLANTATION that it merely was for the
information of the United States and
was not IN the nature of a protest
Now that the department has ruled
formally that the submarine is en-
titled to recognition as a merchant
vessel, it is understood the diplomatic
representatives of the allies are await
ing instructions from their foreign
offices.

THE BEAUTY OF A FINE LAWN
BY {. VAN eENTHuYsEN.


The question of whether to sod or
seed is of primary Importance. A
solid greensward is Immediately Sc
cured II we sod. The objections to
sodding are many Good sod is not
always procurable. 1t requires an ex-
ira amount of labor to sod If the
grounds are very large 1t is not prac-
tical.
If, however, sodding is decided upon,
the ground should first be leveled and
smoothed to the proper grade. The
surface should then be stirred and pull
verified to a depth of an inch or more
and suitable fertilizers worked in.
It is well to spread rich dirt from
the creek bottom or woods over the
surface. 1t will give the sod quick
start and give new life to the original
soil.
1t is not essential to cut the sod
more than an inch thick, or just deep
enough to include all the underground
stems, but the thicker the sod is the
better.
It is not necessary in laying the
sods to lay them flush against each
other as grass will sprout from the
sides and the spaces allow for expan-
sion in settling and leveling. AS soon
as the sods are laid give the entire
lawn complete wetting, then go over
the surface with roller to level it.

We cannot all have flowers for the

houses in our neighborhood for
the supply. The cost is out of all
proportion But flowers we ought to
have and can have at a very nominal
cost in time and money If we are will
ing to take care of a few plants in the
home.
The best ali-round plant for a decora-
tion for the table is asparagus plumo-
sus It's foliage is far daintier than
any other fern. 1t can easily be made
to grow in the bushy, compact form
which a plant designed for use on the
table should have.
Pinch off the ends of the young
fronds when they have made growth
of IL or Is inches. This causes the
lower side branches to spread out
broadly and thus breadth is secured
where there would be little if the plant
were allowed to train itself
Long stem flowers can be thrust
through it's filny green foliage if add
ed beauty is needed, but there are few
ferns comparable to this filmy, lacy
fern.
This plant requires soil of gar
len loan made light with sand Water
moderately. For its successful culture
eunshine is not necessary.
Keep the red spider from injuring
it. and shower several times week.

put it together If her life depended
