BRITISH ASSERT
RIGHT T0SHOOT
At DEUTSCHLAND
Indications German Submarine
viii Sail For the Open
Sea Shortly
.(Associated Press by Federal wireless)

BALTIMORE, Maryland, July 19.-
Loading of the submarine Deutsch-
land has been completed and the pier
at which the craft is lying has been
screened from the public. Every ef-
fort is being made to extend to the
submarine the protection of belliger-
ent merchant-vessel in neutral port
Capt. Koenig has cancelled some
social engagements which he had
made for the next few days, indicat-
ing that the submarine is getting
ready to depart.
That the British patroIHng cruisers
will fire upon the Deutschland If the
submarine is sighted by them is the
substance of a report sent by the
international News Service from
Washington on the night of July IL.
The report says:
WASHINGTON, D. c., July IL
British naval vessels will fire upon
the German submarine liner Deutsch-
land at sight 1t will be treated as
warship regardless of any ruling
the United States government may
make.
IF the Deutschland is destroyed by
British warship the State Depart
ment will make no inquiries.
These facts were made plain at
the British embassy and at the State
Department today.
THE British and French embassies
protested to the State Department
against this governments action in
permitting the Deutschland to enter
an American port. They protested
also against permitting the Deutsch'
land to take on provisions. They de-
clared to the State Department that
the Deutschland is a warship ana
therefore is entitled to none, OF the
rights enjoyed by a peaceful mer--
chantman.
AT the British embassy the posi-
tion Of the British government was
outlined as follows:
"In view of the methods of the
submarine warfare employed by Ger
many in the present war, the Deutsch-
land must be considered as a war
vessel.
mo enemy vessel moving under the
water can be considered by Great
Britain as anything but a warship.
and it will be treated accordingly. It
would be absurd to treat submarine
vessel any other way" i

WESTH0PE MAN
TAKES OWN LIFE
Bert Pomeroy Commits Suicide By
Hanging Himself to Gas Fixture
In His Home.

Bert Pomeroy Of Westhope
committed suicide sometime
NJ onday night or Tuesday
morning by hanging himself
in clothes line suspended
from a gas fixture in his home.
The tragedy was not discov-
cred until Yesterday when his
continued absence excited the
suspicious of neighbors, who
went to his home and found
the lifeless body.
Pomeroy has been resident
of Westhope only about
month, coming there from Mas
sau, MINI. His wife was out
of town on a visit at the time
and he was living alone. No
motive for the rash deed can be
discovered, although he has
been acting rather queerly ever
since coming to Westhope. He
was employed in local livery
barn. He was about 36 years
old and leaves wife.
Coroner Ferguson was noti-
fed of the tragedy, but as it
was clear case of suicide. he

FEDERAL FARM LOAN ACT.

The new Act provides for
lending money to farmers
largely on the borrower terms.
While the mortgage must run
at least five years and not to
exceed forty years, and must
be paid on the. installment
plan, yet the farmer chooses
the time to run and the size of
the installment.
4. The amortization plan, as
the installment plan is now
called, is the easiest plan for
paying off a debt. 1t is also
the cheapest plan, for it re-
quired less money for interest.
Under the Act, the interest
rate cannot exceed six per
cent, and the amortization
payments. to meet principal
and interest. must be in fixed
annual or semi annual Install
ments. However, after five
years the mortgage may be
paid off any time. If farmer
borrows $1,000 at six per cent
for ten years under our present
credit system, he pays back on
the loan, principal and interest,
$1,000, the annual interest pay
ment being $50. If he borrows
the same amount at the same
rate under the new Act, he
pays back on the loan, princi-
pal and interest. $1358. 20, the
annual payment, interest and
principal being $135.87. This
makes the amortization plan a
little cheaper, even if we figure
to the farmer interest on the
use of the money which, the
farmer has under the old sys-
tenn, that is, on the use of the
difference between the two
payments of $50 and $135.87.
And the new plan is easier be-
cause of his annual payment
|of $135. 81 amortizes C"Kills
off, the debt at the end of
ten years. But under our
present credit method, after
paying $50 a year interest for
ten years, the borrower then
faces the original debt of $1,000
and this may mean foreclosure
or renewal of the loan. James

pertinent Station.
