w. S. Giles has an apple tree on
Union street at Camden that is quite
a curiosity. Every alternate year just
one half Of the tree blossoms and
bears fruit and the next year the other
half takes its turn. The southern half
of the tree is now in full bloom and
not a blossom is to be seen on the
northern half. AS both parts bear the
same variety Of apples it seems
strange that year after year the two
sides of the tree should take turns in
this way.

 24th of March, 1916, at about 2;5O o'clock in the afternoon, the unarmed steamer Sussex, with 325 or more passengers on board, among whom were number of American citizens, was torpedoed while crossing from Folkestone to Dieppe.

 "The Sussex had never been armed i; was vessel known to be habitually used only for the conveyance of pas- sengers across the English channel, and was not following the route taken by troop ships or supply ships. About 80

of her passengers, noncombatants of all ages and sexes, including citizens of the United States, were killed or injured.
 "A careful, detailed and scrupulously impartial investigation by the naval and military officers of the United States has conclusively established the fact that the Sussex was torpedoed without warning or summons to surrender and that the torpedo by which she was struck was of German manufacture In the view of the government of the United States these facts from the first made the conclusion that the torpedo was fired by German submarine unavoidable. It now considers that conclusion substanti- ated by the statements of your excel lency's note. A full statement of the facts upon which the government of the United States has based it's conclusion is enclosed.
 NOT ISOLATED CASE
 ''The government of the United States, after having given careful consideration to the note of the imperial government of April 10 regrets to state that the impression made upon it by the state- ment has failed to appreciate the gravity of the situation, which has resulted, not alone from the attack on the Sussex. but from the whole method and charac- ter of submarine warfare as disclosed by the unrestrained practice of the com manders of German undersea craft dur ing the past twelvemonth and more in the indiscriminate destruction of merchant vessels of all sorts, nationalities and ha inlx nf sex had been an isolated case the gov ernment of the United States might find it possible to hope that the officer who was responsible for that act had will fully violated his orders or had been criminally negligent in taking none of the precautions they prescribed, and that the ends of justice might be satisfied by imposing upon him an adequate punish ment, coupled with formal disavowal of the act and payment of a suitable indemnity by the imperial government But, though the attack upon the Sussex was manifestly indefensible and caused a loss of life so tragical as to make it stand forth as one of the most terrible ex- amples of the inhumanity of submarine warfare as the commanders of German vessels are conducting it, it unhappily does not stand alone
 "On the contrary, the government of the United States, forced by recent events to conclude that it is only one in- stance, even though one of the most ex- treme and most distressing instances, of the deliberate method and spirit of indis- criminate destruction of merchant ves- sells of all sorts, nationalities, and desti- nations which have become more and more unmistakable as the activity of German undersea vessels of war has in recent months been quickened.

 NO REASONABLE DOUBT
 Tn view of these authenticated facts there can be no reasonable doubt but that the Sussex was torpedoed and that the torpedo was of German manufacture. As no vessel was seen by any person on the Sussex the conclusion is irresistible that the torpedo was launched without warning from a submarine which was submerged at the time of the attack and remained beneath the surface after the explosion.
 The conclusion thus reached from the
