Boston.-An unidentified submar-
inc off the New England Coast was
reported by the steamship Bowie at a
time when the steamship lane to
Europe was dotted with munition
laden ships just released from the
embargo placed on their movements
after the German submarine raid off
Nantucket.
The reports of the strange sub
marine were coincident with an
nouncements that fleet of British
cruisers and destroyers was off the
coast and that virtually the entire
available destroyed 1otilla of the
Atlantic fleet of the United States
Navy was on neutrality duty. That
the American destroyers were con-
Quoting an active investigation OF sto-
ries of secret submarine bases on this
coast was indicated in dispatch from
Bar Harbor, Maine, which said the de-
stroyer Paulding, sent out from the
Newport naval base, made an ex-
haustive search of the coast between
Bar Harbor and Rockland. There was
not a. cove or rock inlet that escap-
ed the sharp scrutiny of the Destroy
er's crew. At dusk the Paulding put
back to Rockland and it was under
stood that she had discovered moth
ing suspicious.
Other destroyers known to be Off
the coast and believed to be engaged
in much the same work as the Pauld-
ing are the McDougal, Tanning and
Warrington. The McDougal, during
the evening anchored at Eastport, in
proximity to the Canadian border.
The presence of these destroyers in
Eastern Maine waters recalled rumors
that have persisted for months that
Teutonic sympathizers had hidden
wireless station somewhere in the
vicinity of Bar Harbor and that there
was a suspicion also that they were
establishing a secret submarine base
on the Baine coast. Few places on the
Atlantic shore line of the United
States, shipping men say, offer better
advantages for submarines having de-
signs on allied supply ships. Submer-
sibles operating from one of the in
Vulnerable isolated cOves on the
Maine coast, it is pointed out, could
threaten both the steamship lane to
Europe and the transport ships.

Long Branch, N. J.-President Will
son and Secretary of State Lansing
discussed in detail at Shadow Lawn
German submarine attacks on mer-
chantmen off the New England coast.
The conference lasted until late at
night.
1t was indicated by officials that
facts so far collected through govern
mental agencies have disclosed no
grounds for drastic action by the Uni
ted States Government because of the
attacks themselves. No evidence has
been found that international law was
violated by the German submarine or
submarines. 1t was understood, how
ever, that the president and Secretary
Lansing discussed the wisdom of point
ing out to Germany the inadvisability
of operating her submarines in close
proximity to the territorial waters of
the United States.
Administration officials took the pos
sition that the transferring of sub
marine warfare so close to Americas
shores was fraught with grave danger
because of the possibility of mistakes
being made by submarine command
ers. Reports that strong sentiment ex-
lists in Germany for the resumption of
submarine warfare on a broader scale
caused some alarm among officials.
The announcement of Counselor
Polk of the state department in Wash
ington that the United States will re-
fuse to accept the contention of the
Entente Allies that neutrals should
deny the use of the harbors to all
submarines, was discussed by the Pres
ident and the secretary of state.
In discussions of the submarine at
tacks officials here referred to diplo-
matte correspondence between the
United States and Great Britain begin
ming in 1914 in which the American
government protested against the pa
trolling of the American coast outside
the three-mile limit, by the warships.

LINER WITH $50 PASSENGERS
AND BIG CARGO DEFIES U-BOAT
White Star Liner With All Lights Out
Follows Two Freighters Out Of
New York Harbor


New York.-With all lights extin-
guished the steamship Adriatic of the
White Star Line, carrying 353 passen-
gers and $4,000 tons of war munitions
was speeding south from this port,
we'll without the three mile-mile zone
of safety. Her announced destination
is Liverpool and her course to that
city would lead east from Sandy
Hook. She apparently followed in the
wake of the freightladen Pannonia
and Minneahaha. The Danish vessel
Helig Olav, more venturesome than
the British steamers, took the easter
ly course after clearing the bar. They
were the first vessels to leave New
York for European ports since the sub
marine raid.
The Adriatic left her dock, but after
reaching Sandy Hook dropped anchor
outside the bar. AS night fell, no lights
flashed aboard the liner.

Washington.-In their last reply to
American protests against interior
ences with neutral mails just made
public, by the State Department, the
Allied governments reiterate their
right to intercept and search all gen.
uine mail found on neutral vessels
on the high seas or in allied ports but
they promise to remedy "any faults,

sorship that may be brought to their

facts the American charge that illegal
juridustion has been gained by diver
sion of neutral ships from the high
seas into the territorial waters of the
Allies. The next move of the Ameri-
can Government has not been deter
mined.

the British and French governments

ment by the embassies several days

agreement of the governments con-
cerned. 1t makes reply to Secretary
Lansings memorandum of May "a in
Allies had been guilty of "lawless
practices" in their mail censorship
methods and that "only radical
change, restoring to the United
States it's full rights as neutral pow
er will satisfy this government"
The Allies maintain they are "sin-
cerely endeavoring to avoid any en-
croachment on the legitimate exer-
else of the rights of inoffensive neu-
trail commerce" and suggest that the
Hague convention quoted in the
American memorandum is not bind
ing because it has not been ratified
by several belligerent powers, though
the allied policy has been guided by
the intention it expresses.
The note is nearly 5000 words in
length. 1t argues that the United
States and the Allies agree that the
postal union convention does not ap-
ply and that postal packages may be
examined to see if they contain con-
traband.

that a renewal of submarine activity
is being considered by Germany in a
manner which might threaten German
American relations. Mr.. Gerard, after
quickly glancing through this story,
said:
"You don't see me quoted anywhere

Care Of Manure.

The first step to be taken in the care
Of manure, so as to prevent the losses
mentioned above. is to provide suf-
neient bedding or litter in the stable
to absorb and save all the liquor parts
The losses due to fermentation can
be greatly checked by mixing horse
manure with the colder COW manure;
by making the piles compact as to ex-
eluds the air; and by moistening the
pile so as to assist in excluding the air
and also to lower the temperature. The
use Of chemicals or mechanical absorb
ents, such as peat, kainit, phosphate
rock, etc. In the stable and sprinked
over the manure, assists in preserving
the manure and preventing loss.
Losses from washing or teaching by
rain may be prevented by piling under
cover or in favorable basin-like places,
or still better, by hauling it directly to
he field and spreading it as soon as it
Is produced.
Maryland independent. [volume] (Port Tobacco, Md.) 1874-current, 1916-12-01

In order to reduce the loss in manure
to a minimum, and also to economic
In handling It, the general aim and
practice should be to haul It directly
from the stable to the field and spread
It at once, On the average farm the
following Of this practice all through
the year would result in less loss than
any method that could be pursued.
The use OF rotted manure rather
than fresh manure is desirable In con
nectlon with many market garden or
vegetable crops, as it gives quicker re-
suits and with root crops VIII give a
smoother and nicer product.

M 1Pt8 CARE
No Product OF Equal Value Is
So Much Neglected.
MANURE HAS A MONEY VALUE
Every Step Should Be Made To
Preserve All Manure Made
On Farm.

College lark, Dec. TAT this sea
son u the year the attention Of the
farmer should be called to the i'm
portance Of the conservation Of
manure. In one Of the cores ondence
lessons written by DIT. H. J. Patter-
son. Director. Experiment Station. the
following advice is given concerning
the case OF manure:
Even though manure is regarded
highly by all farmers in sections where
fertilizers are needed. nevertheless
shere is probably no product Of equal
value which is so much neglected and
so poorly cared for.
The fret great source OF loss is
through the incomplete absorption Of
the urine. It Is not infrequent that no
attempt Is made to save this portion
Of the manure. When 1t is remember
cd that the urine is richer In both
nitrogen and potash than the dung,
and that they are more available to
crops In the urine than in the dung,
It should be self.evident to all that it
Ia highly essential that this part Of
the manure be carefully saved.
The second greatest source Of waste
If manure is the loss incurred by leach
Ing. If manure is piled against the
side OF the stable where the watoI
from the roof can drip on it, or If it is
piled on the hillside or other exposed
places, the rain water in leachins
through the manure washes out Of Il
much nitrogen and potash. which is
seen in the dark brown liquid oozins
from the base OF the pile.
The third common source Of loss is
that incurred by heating and fetuent
ing. When manure is thrown in piles
1t soon heats and throws OF more or
less vapor and gas. This heating is
caused by fermenting or breaking
down OF the materials composing the
manure The fermentation is caused
by the action Of bacteria or low orders
OF microscopic plants. The bacteris
which produces the most rapid fermen
tation in manure need plenty of air OF
oxygen. Therefore fermentation vii
be more rapid in loosely piled manure
A certain amount Of moisture is neces
sary for fermentation, but if the
manure is wet, fermentation is checked
because It lowers the temperature and
excludes part Of the supply of air
Ths fermentation which takes place
n manure breaks down the organic
matters and causes loss Of humu7.
and also Of nitrogen through the am
monIum compounds which are volatil
lied. The odor Of ammonia which is
commonly noticeable about horse
stables and piles Of horse manure is an
evidence of the fermentation and loss
which Is taking place.
