 WASHINGTON, May 5. - (By Robert J. Bender, United Press Staff Correspondeut-)As the German re- ply to the United States demands be- gan to arrive at the state department this morning in sections there was an unmistakable feeling in high of ficial circles that a break was inevi- table. The first part of the note caused feeling that Germany was trying to becloud the issue with an avalanche of words and arguments and conditions. Ut looks very bad" was the comment of a state depart ment official after reading a portion of the reply. Secretary Lansing was given a copy of the United Press re- port and he studied it very carefully.
 The general feeling of the state de- partment was that Germany was not even diplomatic and the severance of diplomatic relations looked likely. Owing to the length of the note it will demand a most careful digestion before America determines on a de- finite course. Germany has bluntly refused to accept as conclusive the evidence submitted by this govern ment in the case of the Sussex and declares most emphatically that the German government must repudiate the assertion that the incident was one instance of a deliberate method of indiscriminate destruction of vessels. The government thinks it of little avail to enter into a discussion of de tails at the present stage of affairs and says particularly that this atti- tude is taken up as "the United States omitted to substantiate its as sertions by giving concrete facts" :" Regarding submarines the German note says:
 "As the government has repeatedly declared, it cannot dispense with the use of submarines as a weapon of warfare against the enemy's trade"
 The note then meets the contention of President Wilson that pledge to torpedo no ships without warming be extended to freighters as well as pas senger vessels. This required pledge takes in not only the waters in the war area but outside.

Rockwell City, Aug. 26.-Rockwell
has a chance to secure S2oO,0OO fac
tory which would require the products
Of 10000 acres of land TO keep it 60
ing. A proposition has been made by
Walter c. Murphy, of Chicago, to To-
cate dessicating food plant here that
would employ from seventy-nve TO
several hundred employees. Location OF
the plant seems TO hinge on the inter-
est which the farmers in the vicinity
will take in the venture. No bonus
is asked nor is desired TO lave any
capital furnished. It is question or
raw material and the commercial club
here is making canvass of The farm
ers with view 20 securing pledges to
raise and sell to the proposed factory
the vegetable and other farm products
necessary 70 keep 1t running.
One of the principal products want
ed is potatoes and it is stated hat the
company would require about 5000
acres of potatoes yearly. Other pro-
ducts needed would he clover alfalfa,
fax oats, rye, spekts. turnips beans,
beets, cabbages, peas pumpkins and
artichokeS.
The product from the hays and
grains would be converted into food
for humans. 1t is said the prices 10 be
paid would exceed those of he regu-
lar market, or at least the company
would guarantee liberal prices.
Dessicating food plants are COM
paratively new in America. There are
only two in this country At the pres
ent time and the government takes the
entire output OF one of the two. In
Germany it is said that there are 500
such plants and TINS industry Is also
thriving in France.
A dessicating plant takes all The
moisture out of the product, the
residue is miled and ground, and the
meal or powder is scientifically pre-
pared as food for men or animals. The
German soldier today has ratio1s, part
Of which are products Of these con-
Germs. The ability Of the Germans to
devise new foods is partially due to
the dessicating food industry, so il is
said.
