NORWAY'S REPLY FAILS
TO SATISFY GERMANY
Tone Conciliatory, but Does Not
Offer Enough, Berlin View

Berlin. Nov. 49, Although the Nor
wegisn answer TO the German note with
respect to the submarine question has
not yet been made public, the "Lokal
Anzeiger" learns that it is couched in
a conciliatory spirit, though it does not
ooncretely offer enough TO warrant its
being called satisfactory.
Verbal explanations, which accom-
panied the note. says the "Loksl An
zeiger," were such that it is not i'm
possible that an understanding will be
reached.
The paper points out anew, however,
that the solution of the difficulty and
the future relations between the two
countries depend wholly on Norway
nnd the further explanations it may
chose to make. and not upon Germany
which "is watching developments wiC
calmness."

New London, Conn, Nov. 13.-All in

sailing of the German merchant sub
marine Deutschland for Bremen, either
tomorrow or Wednesday. According
to some reports. she may sail to-mor-
row. Loading Of her cargo Of rubber
and metals was so nearly complete to-
night, when sixty stevedores ceased
work at IL o'clock. that it was said
only an hours work tomorrow will be
needed to have the submarine ready to
sail.
One hundred tons of oil already are
stored in the Deutschland's tanks, and
twenty five tons more are on the wharf
ready to be put aboard. The subma-
rine's machinery has been carefully
overhauled and the entire vessel is
shipshape. A fact pointing toward an
early departure is that the craft is
being provisioned, and fresh meats will
be put on board tomorrow.
Captain Koenig expressed confidence
to-day that he would be able to evade
the fleet of Allied warships and de-
stroyers which is reported to be lying
in wait outside this port to sink the

Ottawa. Nov. 13.-General Sir Sam

Militia and Defence. His resignation
was requested.
General Hughes was appointed MIN

nation was demanded at that time oy

Hughes Has No Regrets
Concerning his resignation, General
Hughes said in part; t.o, 7
ain leaving the department l feel
have nothing special to regret IN re-
gard to its work or management III
Rritain. in the first year OF the war,
Canada had practically no control OF
hor forces. The British system was
followed. Last year for nine straight
months our soldiers had no rest from
the trenches. This year have planned
extra divisions so that fully one-quar-
ter of our troops could be resting at
time. but perhaps the most importan,
accomplishment of all has been the
perfect harmony with the War Oniee
The break between General Hughes
and Premier Borden and other mem
hers of the Canadian government re-
suited from differences over questions
Of policy and administration. Tnere
have been many such differences. but
until recently, it Is said. General
Hughes has generally carried ou9 mis-
plans. ;-..ad and
adjustments have grown more dlmeult'

ing disposition on the part OF the rre-
rier and the Cabinet 20 insist upon
their plans as against those Of hugnes'
Wanted Canadian Rife
One of the points over wnicn an
fsrence arose was the supplying OF
tho Canadian forces with the British
armv ride. General Hughes, 1t is re-
ported, advocated instead the use OF
a Canadian weapon.
Some time ago General Hughes re-
turned from three months VISIT 10
England with a plan to have a Cana,
dian war council organized in England
with a deputy Minister OF Militia at its
head. The Canadian government, how,
ever. held that with more than 100000
Canadian troops in the trenches IN
France or in training in England. there
should be an overseas Minister OF Mill
tia. General Hughes opposed this, as
II would deprive him Of much OF his
authority.
When the government insisted upon
its plan. il is reported. General Hughes
suggested that Sir Max Aitken should
be appointed. Premier Borden, how
ever. appointed Sir George Perley, al
though there is said TO have been lack
of harmony between him and General
hughes.
While he was in England General
Hughes, after investigating the Cana
dian army medical force, relieved Cen

Hollweg. is the belief of informed per-
sons here. If this happens, President
Wilson will be forced either to break
relations, in accordance with ms threat
IN the Sussex note, or make radical
change in his German policy.
Pacifists Influence Wilson
One way is open to the President,
some Of his advisers believe, to prevent
q new outbreak by Germany without
Welding further ground. That is to
convince Germany that he is preparing
some move to bring peace to Europe.
The Tribune learned to-day that Ad-
ro;n;stration supporters already are
busy trying to create the impression
that President Wilson is worxing on
neace plans. Nothing to support this
could be learned at the State Depart
ment. but diplomatists admit that the
revival of such an impression would
have a favorable effect in Berlin.
The disturbing feature OF the recent
election is that the President won IN
the paeihst states. officials realize that
he was elected by the people who want

this into consideration in considering

Slight Expense Involved

Mr.. Ford declared that the greater
mart Of the brewing apparatus and ma
chinery in any brewery can be used IN
making alcohol. the addition needed
only being a continuous still.
"The raw materials We have used IN
the laboratories in producing alcohol
cheaply are various kinds Of grains and
vegetable substances. Tests were made
with corn and wheat. Then we tried
potatoes, grapes, cherries, peaches, cur
rants. strawberries and many other
kinds of small fruits. Carrots, turnips,
beets. sugar cane and wood we're also
used. We also found that the wastes
from canneries, such as apple peels and
cherry pits; the wastes from sugar fac
tories and vegetable tops, usually
thrown awav on the farms, were sur
prisingly high in alcohol value.
zone Of the best materials we found
were cornstalks. These, ground up,
mashed and boiled, produced a very
high percentage. An acre of cornstalks
viii produce 100 gallons of alcohol.
some cornstalks would produce 90 per
cent more.
"Then the distiller can turn around
and sell his waste back to the FARMER
for cattle food. Nothing has been
taken from it but the alcohol; all the
nitrogenous matter is still there TO go
hack TO the soil as fertilizer.
