COMPLAINTS RENEWED ON
 GARBAGE ACCUMULATION

Inefficient garbage collection again besetsA the housewives of the North End who are unanimous in condemna- tion sof the system which permits two or three weeks accumulation, which eventually becomes prey for hungry dogs. In some instances it is report ed that the refuse has been scattered over porches and yards to the great disgust of householders.
 Inquiry at the board of health of- fees elicited the statement that com plaints there have been few and it is believed there that the collections are regular.
 A report that the Fischer garbage reduction plan has been closed tenn porarily for repairs is denied both at the company's offices as we'll as at the health department Charles c. F'isch- CT told a reporter for The Farmer to- day that it was true Improvements were being made at the plant but that the work had in no manner llampered the reduction of garbage brought to them and they had accepted every ton offered by the collection agency.

ASSURANCE IS ONLY
FORUNARMED SHIPS
Believed Germany Will De-
'mand That Merchantmen
Shall Not Attack U-Boats.

Baron Erich Zweidenik. charge of
the Austrian embassy here, con-
fered today with Secretary Lansing.
II was understood MIR. Lansing ex-
planned to the charge why the
United States did not acqufesce in
the announced intention of Ger
many and Austria to sink armed
merchantmen after February %. in
order that Baron Zweidenik might
inform his government of the formal
communication ON the subject the
United States soon is expected to
send to Berlin and Vienna.
Indications in official quarters
today were that Germany's reply
to the reque of the United
States that the Teutonic powers
modify their announced intention
to sink without warning all armed
merchant ships OF the enemy after
February 20. will be statement
that assurances given in the Lusi-
tania and Arabic cases had to do
only with unarmed vessels; that
Germany must feel certain that
its submarines which warn >ner-
chant ships will not be attacked,
and that this country shall give
its definition of defensive arma-
ment, as distinct from offensive
armament.
1t was considered certain that
the problem of limiting arma-
ment to defensive value will be
the basis of long negotiations.
German Statement.
1t is stated in German circles that
evidence in their possession leads to
the conclusion that all British mer-
chant ships. with the possible excep-
ton of those in transatlantic trade
had instructions to resist capture, and
that the latter probably will be armed.
1t was pointed out that the Clan Mac
lavish, sunk by the raider Moewe, the
captor of the liner Appam, had fought
with her guns until she went down.
1t also was declared that aboard the
Appam was found a document contain
ing additions to the original conf1den-
tial instructions Ito all BritiSh-Born
sea captains" and setting forth that:
Amy submarine whihc approaches a
vessel may be treated as hos
tile. If chased, the merchant ship
should first attempt to escape, and if it
cannot it must head straight for the
submarine in order to prevent the
effective use of the submarines guns"
