U. S. WARNS BRITAIN
ILL FEELING CAUSED BY SEIZURE
OF MAILS CITED.
Message From State Department De
cIares America Will Not Admit
Right of Search.

Washington, Jan. 29.-The text Of
the American protest to Great Britain
against interference with neutral
mails, made public on Thursday, re-
veals that diplomatic and consular
pouches have been treated in man
ner the United States considers "vexa-
tiously inquisitorial. The note de-
scribes the practices of British Off
Gals as "unwarranted interferences,"
and urgently requesting a prompt re-
ply, points out that "a strong feeling
is being aroused" in this country by
eign banks are refusing to cash Amer
lean drafts because they have no as
surances that drafts are secure in the
mails.
The United States declares that par
eel post articles are entitled to the
exemptions of neutral trade, and de-
MES the right of Great Britain to take
neutral mail ships into British juris-
diction for purposes of search and
then submit them to local censorship
regulations.
With the text of the American note
was made public Great Britain's ad
interim reply, saying that questions of
principle raised by the United States
have made it necessary for Great
Britain to consult her allies before an
swering finally, and indicating that
there will be no unnecessary delay in
the negotiations.
The American note is in the form
of memorandum to Ambassador Page
at London, instructing him to file a
formal and vigorous protest"

"zEP' RAID ON PARIS
rWENTY-FoUR PERSONS KILLED
BY BOMBS DROPPED FROM
GERMAN AIRSHIP.
INVADERS ARE DRIVEN OFF
French Aeroplanes Attack Graft
People Refuse to Heed Warning to
Remain indoors During Attack
Said Lasted Minute and Half.

London, Feb. 1.-The war office ON
cially announces that Zeppelin raid
was made last night by six or seven
airships over the eastern and north
eastern midland counties. A number
of bombs were dropped. Up to the
present, says the war office statement,
inconsiderable damage has been re-
ported.
Paris, Feb. 1.-Twenty-four persons
were killed and twenty-seven injured
in the Zeppelin raid over Paris Satur-
day night, according to an official
statement given out here.
Ten of the wounded were placed in
hospitals owing to the severity OF
their injuries.
The raid lasted about one minute
and half, while in the first visit OF
Zeppelins to Paris on March 81, 1915,
four of these aircraft were over or
in the neighborhood of the capital for
nearly two hours.
The fact that only one German ma
chine appeared leads to the belief
LuaL LILO LOppS1lA Wd0 AAe1hAA0 -
accommodating trip, and the supposi-
ton is that the Germans have in view
a similar operation on larger scale.
The Paris newspapers demand that
measures of retaliation be taken i'm
mediately.
Before the attack 80 French aero
planes searched the remote air regions
above Paris for the raider, of whose
appearance warning had been given.
BY the time it had reached the edge OF
one of the old quarters of the city
several of the airmen were able to
make out it's pale yellow shape $4,000
feet from the earth.
One Of the French aircraft fire. 20
shots from quick firer at the in
vading craft.
Frightened doubtless by the nu-
merous war planes rising toward 1t,
the Zeppelin wheeled and drove at
full speed westward, dropping in its
trail into the darkness cargo OF
about three and one-half tons OF
bombs. Then, continuing it's flight at
a great altitude. the airship vanished.

stocks. These Seeding stocks. budded
or grated with q selected variety, will
bear one or two years earlier than
those produced from cuttings.
The scions to be used in chip bud
ding. cleft grating, and whip grating
should be cut during late winter. All
scions should be kept cool and moist
until used. The budding and grating
should be done as soon ~ the trees
which are to be grated start to grow.
When selecting scions or bud sticks
care must be exercised, just ~ when
propagating by wood cuttings, to pro-
cure wood with strong. wsll-developed
buds. On twigs Of the last seasons
growth the best buds are generally
near tho base, where they are sup
ported on more mature wood than
those near the tip. In wood more
than q year old, most Of the buds
near the tip have already produced
branches, thus making this portion
Of the twig unsuitable for use in bud
ding or grating.
The method employed in budding
persimmons largely determines the
character Of the wood that should be
selected as a source of buds. For the
common shield or '"T'' bud. the basal
half Of the new growth is preferable
because the bark L. thinner h that
on older wood and the buds At closer
and better than where wood with
older and thicker bark is used. More
over, the buds ear the base OF tho
new wood are better than those to-
ward the tip, because the latter are
SO irregular in outline that 1t Is diff
cult to At them closely to the stock.
when the chip-bud method IL used
It IL essential that the bud stick have
sufficient body to allow the removal
Of the bud with q clean, solid chip
adhering thereto. A bud stick should
never b. larger than the stock on
which the buds are to be worked. II

to make in the stock.

An almost universal complaint
among those who grow house plants
IL that their plants begin to flag along
about midwinter when they should be
at their best and from that time on
they fail to give any adequate returns
for the care expended on them. Few
of them bloom. Some of them grow,
or try to. after b weak and spindly
fashion, but none Of them have that
fresh sturdy look which delights the
eye Of the who loves howers
and growing plants. What's wrong?
In answer to the question I have to
reply that in all probability no one
cause IS responsible for the failure.
There are several reasons why house
plants do not do we'll in winter, and
perhaps the best way to get at the
bottom Of the difficulty is to tell what
kind Of care to give to avoid the dan
gers in the way, and from this the
owners Of unsatisfactory collections
may be able to discover wherein they
have made mistakes in caring for
their plants.
One very important thing is to give
tho plants plenty Of fresh air. The
wonder to me Is that some plants live
! through the winter at all for they
are kept In rooms heated almost to
the sitting point, and in which there
is little or no moisture. A noted
physician has said concerning moist
ure in the house, that a room in which
plants will not live Is not At for human
beings to live In.
Plants must have air. This may be
obtained by lowering a window from
the top on one side OF the room and
raising one from the bottom on the
Ottumwa tri-weekly courier. [volume] (Ottumwa, Iowa) 1903-1916, 1916-01-29

opposite side Of the room, and let
them remain open Tor about five min
utes. This may be done while the
housewife is busy about her other
duties and no one need be In the
room at the time the airing Is being
accomplished, If the weather Is too
cold. Fresh air should be admitted
into the room for q short time every
day. no matter what kind of weather
It is.
Last season 1 answered a letter
from a woman who complained OF
declining health among her house
plants by giving advice similar to that
in the above paragraph and here Is an
extract from a letter she wrote me six
weeks later.
at have given your fresh-air treat
ment a careful trial and it has proven
a complete success. l know now just
what my plants needed. In less than
a week after I began letting air into
the room they began to improve and
now they are the finest plants I ever
t: led to grow. They blossom and all
my friends say, What Kind OF fer
tilizer do you use When I tell
them that fresh air IS the fertilizer
that has brought about the change
they look at me as though they
thought 1 was trying to have some fun
at their expense. And let me say
right here that we who use the room
feel a great deal better than we did.
The languid, spiritless feeling that we
complained of every night is gone and
We attribute the change to better air"
AS a general thing, II the plants were
repotted in the fall no fertilizer will
be needed by them before midWinter.
