THE WONDERFUL DEUTSCHLAND
First Merchant Submarine Brought
Valuable Cargo from Germany to
to Baltimore.

The sensation of the week in naval
and shipping circles was the arrival
at Baltimore Monday of the German
merchant submarine Deutschland, af-
ter passage of .16 days from Brem-
mcr Haven. The ship, carrying a crew
of % men under the leadership of
Capt. Koenig, brought a cargo of $50
tons of valuable chemicals and dye
stuffs. On the return voyage, which
will be started within a few days, the
Deutschland will carry back nickel and
rubber supplies, which are sorely need
ed in Germany.
The Deutschland is the first mer.
chant submarine ever put into service
and the success of the vessel in elud
| ing the English and French cruisers is
regarded as q wonderful performance
1t is well known that for months
British and French warships were pa
trolling the American coast, havin,
/, particularly in view the capture of am,
| German ships attempting to entc
| Chesapeake bay.
| The Deutschland is craft $50 fee
long by about % beam. She was no
loaded to full capacity. Capt. Koen
ig says she travelled only 90 mile
under water, but that he could have
kept below the surface four days at {
time if his ship had been in danger
1t is claimed that the Germans have
another vessel similar to the Deutsch
land already on her way to this coun
try and that a fleet of such vessels
will soon he in operation, showing that
the British blockade is Intellectual
The British and French representa-
tives in Washington asked the Ameri
can authorities to determine the status
of the Deutschland, but an eXamina
tion showed that the ship was un
armed, carried no weapons except -four
revolvers in possession of the officers
and that the crew consisted of sailors
not connected with the German navy

CARRANZA' REPLY ACCEPTED.
Friendly Relations Now Existing Be-
tween United States and De Facto
Government of Mexico.

A note formally accepting Gen. Car
rama proposal that the differences
between the United States and the de
facto government of Mexico be set
tied by direct negotiations was handed
Friday to Elisco Arrendondo, the am
bassador designate in Washington. 1t
must first be made clear that Car
rama s own troops can take up the
task which Pershing's forces were
sent to perform. There is nothing in
the note to indicate an immediate
withdrawal of the American soldiers
from Mexico. The affairs between the
two countries, from a diplomatic
standpoint, are regarded as friendly
1t is probable that the embargo on all
supplies except arps and munitions
will be raised soon. There are i'm
mense quantities of goods on the Dor
der which have been held W the past
few weeks.
There have been no disturbances or
the border recently. Reports have
been received of battle between
Villa adherents and Carranza soldiers
south of Parral. A despatch was sent
out stating that Villa was moving
toward the border with force OF
1000 men, but this has been since
discredited.

That Vermont is greatly favored
this year is shown by the last report
of crop conditions issued by the United
States department of agriculture. This
report shows many encouraging and
satisfactory things, among others that
Vermont leads every state in condi-
ton Of hay, with a percentage of 10
compared with n percentage of 909
for the United States as whole. Yer
mont leads in condition of alfalfa
with a percentage of 105, is tied will
New Hampshire for first place in con
dition of clover, with a percentage OF
1902, and is tied with New Hampshire
for first place in condition of pasture
with a percentage of 100. Vermont al
so holds first place in condition of ap
pies, pears and field berries, with {
percentage in each instance of 100
compared with percentage for th
United States of 76 for apples, &C.:
for pears and $50 for field berries
Nature is good to Vermont, surely.

FREED OF MURDER CHARGE.
Jury Finds That He Was Insane When
He Killed Elmer Washbun at Beth
el April Q.

Peter Laroque, 90, on trial in Wood
stock two weeks, charged with
the murder of Elmer Washburn of
Bethel, was acquitted at noon Fri
LAY by a jury which had been out less
than two hours. The verdict was not
guilty on account of insanity.
Washburn was found on April 25
lying beside the railroad tracks in
Bethel with his skull fractured and
his face and head badly beaten. He
died few hours later. The state
claimed the two men had been at odds
and that Laroque had been offered $500
to put Washburn out Of the way. The
defense claimed that the respondent
was an epileptic and it was during one
of these attacks that the deed was
committed.
Raymond J. Trainor of White River
Junction and March NJ. Wilson of Ran
dolph represented the respondent and
Attorney General II. +. Barber of
Brattleboro and State g Attorney b. f.
Cole of Windsor appeared for the
state.

At any rate Carranza deserves some
thanks for opening the eyes of the ma
ton to the country s utter lack of pre-
paredness for defense, even against
such an insignificant foe as Mexico. lie
has started the United States on the
real road to preparedness, for it is not
to be believed that public sentiment
will put up with the make shifts that
have been offered, or that the the OBJ
structionists in congress will dare to
continue their opposition to adequate
measures for national defense.

RUSSIANS ADVANCING.
Have Six Large Armies in the Field
British Claim to Be in Sight of Per-
Onna

The continued advance of the Rus.
SLAMS has been the chief feature of the
war situation abroad during the past
few days. The recovery of the Rus
sian armies since their defeats last
year continues to be source of won
der to the military critics. Russia
now has six big armies which are con
Quoting successful operations. The in.
terest in the operations of the Gar s
soldiers lies in the advance into Hun
gary. The French and British have
continued their fierce offensive and
have reported several important adj
vances and the capture of thousands
Of prisoners. The German war office
has denied the claims of the enteute
allies but it is noticed that the de-
spatches from Berlin are not very
optimistic in tone. The British claim
to have reached a point overlooking
Peronne, which is apparently the OBJ
iective of their present drive.

The viii to Do.

Jim Smith was VIGOROUSLY slow

grocery for pork. One day, as his
credit was becoming strained, he
walked calmly into the grocery, and
said, "Mr. Black, | want to pay you

delighted proprietor, as he FASTENED
