men Will Be Sunk by Torpe-
does Without Warming.

+ Berlin.--In answer to the repor
sent out by the British wireless thai
the German submarine U-53 "torpe
doed in some cases and sank" ships
competent German authority says
the Overseas News agency, makes
the following statement:
"The commercial war near the
coast of the United States is being
carried on according to rules and
the German promise, which means
that merchantmen can be stopped
and that after the vessel has been
searched and the crew and passen
gers are in safety the vessel can be
sunk under certain conditions.
These conditions are, for instance
when hostile steamer, or neutral
steamer carrying contraband of war,
are involved, or when the military
situation makes it impossible to bring
steamer which has been captured
into port as prize.
"In no case, however, can this be
construed to mean that a merchant
man can be sunk by torpedo with
out previous warning.
According to further reports from
Washington the American authorities
are said to be afraid that complicat-
ed questions of neutrality may rise if
the German submarines operate so
near the American coast, and that
such submarine action is equivalent
to blockade"
To this it is said that the German
sea forces are entitled to carry on a
cruiser warfare anywhere in the open
sea. Territorial waters of neutral
states are carefully respected. A
blockade, of course, is out of the
question.

on by the growers and partly by the
lack of transportation facilities The
market has fluctuated considerable as
a general rule and eastern terminal
centers hold the price at higher levels
than coast and local quotations.
Flour Quotations have not yet
been advanced, but the market is
firm and may go up any time. With
the uncertain trend in the situation,
the movement is rather restricted,
buyers taking only enough for i'm
mediate requirements.
Feed-Hay is on the up grade, with
the exception of wheat hay, and that
is practically nil. Timothy is marked
up to $40 from SIS and alfalfa goes
to $40 from sly. On the other hand,
wheat hay is reduced from $lS to
