tention, too! Let me quote certain
sentences:
IF you are offered any scheme
to make money, take 1t to your

ciples. The promoter finds poor

.U-B0AT SANK SHIPS
GERMANS TELLS y. .. STEAMERS
WERE LEGAL VICTIMS OF
SUBMARINE WAR.
THINKS SUSSEX HIT MINE
Note Sent to Washington Says . Yes
sci Was Torpedoed Near Where
Liner Was Sunk, But Evidence
Shows II Was Not the Sussex.

Berlin. April IA (by wireless). The
German reply to the American note
concerning the damaging or sinking of
five steamships contains the statement
that the steamers Englishman, Eagle
Point, Manchester Engineer and Ber-
windvale were destroyed by German
submarines. Evidence is presented to
show that these vessels were torpedoed
legally in accordance with the rules OF
war.
The note states that German sub
marine torpedoed a steamship in the
vicinity Of the place at which the chan
mel steamship Sussex was damaged by
an explosion, but that evidence at
hand indicates that the vessel tor
pedoed by the submarine was not the
Sussex.
The commander Of this submarine,
the note says. made a sketch at the
time. This sketch has been compared
with a photograph of the Sussex and
has been found to show dissimilarities
in build. arrangement Of stacks. etc.
Therefore 1t Is presumed a mine was
responsible for the damaging of the
Sussex. In the way Of confederation,
1t is stated that German naval forces
destroyed 26 floating mines on that
day.
Regarding the cases of the English
man. Manchester Engineer, Eagle
Point and Berwindvale. it is stated
they we're signaled to halt, but disre-
garded the signals. Thereupon warn
ing shots were fired.
The statement is made that the sub
marine commanders assured them
selves before sinking the ships that
their destruction was justified and
that the crews were safely in boats. no
man being left aboard the vessels.

Canada az q whole has enjoyed won.

Taxes in Western Canada average $24

When Western Canada was faced
with her enormous harvest last fall

soldiers in Canada could give the EN-
