FRENCH ADMIRAL
SAYSU. S. SAILORS
WILL MAKE GOOD
Degouy Indicates Belief That
U-B6ats Are on This Side
of Atlantic

Paris, Feb. Rear Admiral Degouy,
retired, of the French navy, paid a
tribute to the officers and men OF the
American navy in An interview on the
submarine issue to-day. >,
SHOULD Germany's new policy" said
the admiral, bring the United States
into the European conflict, American
sailors may be depended upon TO give
a good account of themselves in fight
ing submarines which are now on the
other side Of the Atlantic or that may
get there" -.
Admiral Degouy has made q life
study Of French naval strategy and tao
tics with reference to Germany and is
one of the best authorities on that sub
ject. Some Of his ideas, long rejected
by the French navy, are now gaming
favor, notably in regard to more COM
prehensive action against submarine
bases. OF the submarine situation the
admiral said: :,
"The ruthless campaign announced
by Germany will make the deadliness OF
submarines more certain, more nVes
will be lost and something added TO
material losses, but it cannot win the
war. IL will, in fact, have but medi-
OGRE influence on the final issue.
"As for the announced blockade by
submarines of such an extent Of coast,
it is a misnomer. Two thousand sub
marines would not be equal to the task
of making the blockade effective in the
sense of the term as formerly accepted,
and calculate that Germany has some
thing like two hundred Of these YES
sells.
"They have built during the war
more submarines than they have lost
but the insufficient initial basis OF their
underwater plans is an insurmounts6le
obstacle to its success strategically
Nevertheless, the two hundred units
they have are capable Of doing a great
deal Of harm, especially the largest and
newest types. | Judge that there are
thirty of the latter which are capable
of operating On the high seas with
wide range Of action"

to the Atlantic, there was no indica-
ton during the day that Dutch ocean
traffic would be resumed. II was de-
clared that passenger ships would not
resume service in any case until their
safety had been assured.
Much the same situation held in
Spain. Many steamers due to leave
Spanish ports postponed their sailings
during the day, waiting for the situa-
tion created by the German note TO
clear. The Spanish government tele-
graphed the Central Powers asking for
an extension of time in which Spanish
ships now at sea in the blockade zones
could return to port
The Spanish Cabinet met tonight TO
consider the country's attitude in re-
gard TO the German declaration and
considered the establishment of a
scheme for insuring Spanish Ships.
King Alfonso will preside over another
meeting to be held tomorrow. The
quarters Of all informed subjects OF
the Central Powers are being guarded
closely by the police to prevent any
aggression.

MUCH WASTE IN GARDENING
Necessity May Force Americans to
Adopt Economical FertiIizino
Methods Used by BeIgians.

Shortage in the supply Of fertilizer
Is situation Of great gravity that con-
fronts the amateur gardener whose pa
triotic spirit is impelling him to till
city lots and suburban plots. City sta
bles. which formerly supplied fertili-
ger to farms in the neighboring states,
have been turned into garages, with
the result that manures can be OBJ
tanned only in small quantities, If at
all. To obtain the results to which
their .labOrs and their enthusiasm en-
title them the back lot and suburban
gardeners must husband their re-
sources, abandon the wasteful Ameri-
can method of enriching the soil and
turn to the system that gave Belgium
pre-eminence in intensive farming, ac-
cOrding to the New York Herald.
The American method of placing fer
tilizer is to spread it entirely over a
plot or field. The Belgian method is
to place the fertilizer only under the
spot where the plant is to grow, vast
ing none of the valuable plantfood be-
tween rows or between plants. The
European gardener turns over the
earth, harrows or rakes it and then
digs trench or series of holes about
eight inches deep where he desires
to plant row of corn, peas or beans

An UnIooked-For Present,

Among little Willie's numerous birth
day presents were a toy tomahawk, an
air gun and lasso-these being sent
by a sport-loving uncle who knew the
youths proclivities.
Shortly after breakfast Willie's
mother heard a crash in the green
house at the foot Of the garden, and
went to investigate. On the way she
passed few uprooted bushes and
flower-bed trampled out Of recognition,
and in the greenhouse itself many las
seed flower-pots. Following the trail
she found Willie hiding behing a tree
stump.
"What are you doing, Willie?" she
cried In Mortified tones.
Looking for Redskins" replied the
youngster.
With a grim look she took Willie by
the ear and led him indoors.
Looking for red skins!" she repeat
ed ominously, as she took up a cane.

bench to another, the necessity of cul-
tivating each bench separately, the
loss of the land occupied by the I'M
cultivated embellishments, and the
growth of weeds and grass on the en-
bankment, which rObs the adjacent
cultivated soil of it's plantfood and
tends to seed the entire field to weeds
and Objectionable grasses. These
reasons are sufficient to initiate
against the use of this terrace except
on steep slopes where no form of cul-
tivable terrace can be employed.
The best practice indicates that the
bench terrace should not be used on
slopes exceeding 20 per cent. How
ever, they are actually in use on slopes
up to 80 per cent, with vertical in
terval of s to 10 feet; but in such
instances the labor of cultivating the
narrow benches and Of maintaining
the high embellishments is considerable,
and it is believed that such slopes
could be devoted more profitably to
pasture or timber.
Narrow-Base LeveI-Ridge Terraces.
The narrow-base level-ridge terrace
is used to a great extent throughout
the Piedmont region of the South. 1t
is essentially the first stage in the
construction of a bench terrace, but
methods of blowing are employed to
prevent it from developing into ter
race of the bench type. 1t is built usu-
ally 3 to 3 feet wide at the base and
from One-half to 1 foot high. Where
these terraces are sodded heavily they
render satisfactory service on previ-
Gus soils and slopes not greater than
5 to 8 per cent. They should be
spaced from 2 to feet apart in YER
teal distance. A close spacing re-
duces the volume of water which col
lects above the terraces, and the sod
ded surface prevents erosion of the
terrace due to impounded water over
topping it.
This type of terrace is cheap to con-
Struct, easy to maintain, and affords
a very convenient guide row in plow
ing and planting. The principal OBJ
jections to its use are ~ the land &C.
cupied by the sOdded terrace reduces
the total amount of tillable land in
the field; (2) the growth on the ter
race saps the strength from the ad-
joining soil, resulting in a dwarfed
plant growth on either side of the ter
race; and (3) the weeds which often
are allowed to grow on the terrace
tend to seed the entire field, and har-
Dor Objectionable insects in the WIN
ter. Owing to these objections. this
type of terrace is losing favor rapidly
among the most advanced farmers.
Some attempts have been made to
cultivate this terrace and thus do
away with the Objectionable features,
but such attempts have been attended
with very little success, except where
the soil is very sandy and capable of
absorbing most of the rain water as
fast as it falls. Where this water is
not absorbed readily by the soil, 1t
concentrates above the terrace, gener-
ally breaks 1T and rushes down the
slope, usually washing a deep gully
and carrying away large quantities Of
fertile soil.
