to insist upon certain legal rights in

States has denied.
The principal complaint of the
American government has been based
on the contention that many vessels
have been diverted from the high seas
into British ports In order to give the
British censors Jurisdiction. There is
no indication that the new memorna-
dun makes any concession OF princi-
pie on that point.

MAKING GOOD SHOCKS
Work That Is Usually Left for the
Hired Hand.
Practice Of Throwing Bundles Togefh'
er Should Sc Discouraged - NO
Telling How Long Grain May
Remain In Piles.

Folks do not take as much pride "
building grain shocks as they did IL
years ago. 1t is work that usually u
left for the hired hand, and too often
the hand is supposed to keep up with
the binder, or as nearly up with It as
possible, thus poor shocking Is the
natural result. 1t pays to take more
time and build good shocks. Throw
ing bundles together ought not to be
called shocking, but too many or US
do that or have 1t done for us and call
the result shocking 1t certain
Iy is, says writer In an exchange.
There is no telling how long grain
may have to remain in the shock, es-
pecially If 1t is to be threshed without
stacking, as waiting for a threshing
machine is one of the most uncertain
propositions on earth. Rain may fol-
low rain, causing long delay, and
breakdown is liable to happen at any
time. The well-built shock may stand
through 1t all without much injury but
the thrown-together pile falls over or
Tops around In such way that 1t
soaks In water about as readily as
does sponge, SO of course the wealth
er gets the blame for spelling the
grain In the shock.
We find the best type of shock to
build to cure out and dry out the quick
est, and one that win stand as well as
any If 1t is well put together, is the
long, narrow form, with bundles set in
pairs. We usually make these 5, 10 |
and II bundles large, never much |
larger or smaller. Such shocks will |
Try out and cure out quickly, especial
y II set with the ends to the north and |
south, giving the forenoon and after
noon sun chance at the broadsides.
As each pair Of bundles are set they
should be firmly placed, not lightly
brown together. Such shocks will
tand as well as a round shock that Is
oosely piled together, and will dry cut
much quicker after each rain.

GERMANY WILL NOT
ATTEMPT BLOCKADE
DECLARES COMMERCIAL WAR
OFF AMERICAN COAST IN Ac-
cORDANCE WITH RULES.
Holds That German Sea Forces
Are Entitled to Carry on Cruiser
Warfare and VIII Not infringe
Upon American Rights.

Berlin.-In answer to the report sent
out by the British wireless that the
German submarine U-53 "torpedoed in
some cases and sank" ships, a compe-
tent German authority, says the Over.
seas News agency, makes the follow
ing statement:
1.-THE commercial war near the coast
of the United States is being carried
on according to rules and the Ger
man promise. which means that mer-
chairman can be stopped and that,
after the vessel has been searched
and the crew and passengers are In
safety, the vessel can be sunk, under
certain conditions.
These conditions are, for instance,
when a hostile steamer or a neutral
steamer carrying contraband of war is
involved, or when the military situa-
ton makes it impossible to bring
steamer which has been captured into
port az prize.
In no case, however, can this be
construed to mean that merchant
man may be sunk by a torpedo with
out previous warning.
According to further reports from
Washington, the American authorities
are said to be afraid that very compli-
Gated questions of neutrality may
arise II the German submarines oper-
ate so near the American coast and
that such submarine action is equiva-
lent to blockade"
To this 1t is stated that the German
sea forces are entitled to carry on
cruiser warfare anywhere in the open
sea. Territorial waters of neutral
states are carefully respected. A
OF course, is out of the
question.
