Windowbox Makers
Are Rushed; Get in
Your Orders Early

Orders for window boxes must he
placed soon If they are to be up by
the close of the month.
There is such a rush for boxes that
the closing days of the season will see
everybody busy making, painting and
planting them, and last day orders
may not be finished on time.
The hope of those in charge of the
Telegraph's Porch and Window Box
campaign is to have all the boxes in
place by May 80, Memorial Day, so
that the whole city may blossom
forth like the rose on that occasion.

OF ENGLISH TRIED
BEFORE TRIBUNAL

London, Jan. 4, s p. m.-(Delayed.)
Sinking of the White Star liner Ar
able, destruction of a British submar-
inc by a German destroyer on the
Danish coast and the submarine at
tack on the British steamer Ruel are
the three incidents that Sir Edward
Grey, the British foreign secretary,
suggests for submission to some i'm
partial tribune for investigation, to-
gether with the case of the Baralong.
The foreign secretary notes in his
reply to Ambassador Pages communi-
cation of a memorandum from the Ger
man government complaining Of cir
cumstances alleged to have attended
the destruction of a German submar-
inc by the British auxiliary cruiser
Baralong, that the three incidents in
question occurred within As hours OF
the time the Baralong sank the SUBJ
marine.
1T is evident that to single out the
case of the Baralong for particular
examination would be the height OF
absurdity," says the secretary. Even
were the allegations on which the Ger
man government rely accepted as they
standard his maiesty's government
does not so accept them-the charge
against the commander and crew OF
the Baralong is negligible compared
with the crimes which have been de-
liberately committed by German Off
GERS both on land and sea against
combatants and non-combatants."
