BERLIN MAKES FORMAL
REFERENCE TO GERARD
GRATITUDE AND THANKS FIX.
TENDED REPRESENTATIVES
BY BRITISH GOVERNMENT

Berlin, Feb. l1.-(Via London,
Feb. 12)-The Berlin press is con-
fining itself to the most perfunctory
references to the departure of for
mer Ambassador Gerard, and the
American embassy staff. The Lokal
Aneziger, the only newspaper print
ing editorial comment, says;
at can hardly be said that in the
person of the representative of the
United States, who left yesterday,
popular figure disappears from Ber-
lin. The assertion that he was a pro
nounced opponent of Germany is
stretching the case bit, yet he sure
ly was no friend of Germany and it
may be calmly set down that the re-
lations of the United Safes and Ger
many would have reached far less
deplorable stage if the great trans
Atlantic republic had been represent
ed in Berlin in the person of a man
who possessed greater appreciation
Of the difficulties and peculiarities
of our position, and who, further, had
been inclined to keep his government
correctly informed with respect tC
the campaign of lies and villificatior
to which we are daily exposed.
IF, on the whole, Mr. Gerard wa'
no outspoken friend of Germany HI
was equally disinclined to share th'
blind admiration for England anc
: everything English with which hi
countrymen seem obsessed. From
: the beginning of the war he expresses
S his inability to see how the entent
: could ever be victorious over the cen
= trail powers and this opinion he neve

Believing that one of the best ways
farmers in Lowndes county can cir
cumvent the boil weevil is by planting
early maturing seed from districts
not yet infected with the pests, local
oil mills have taken steps to secure
seeds of this character in large guam
titles, and will furnish them to these
farmers at actual cost.
In order to show the farmers that
no profit is to be made on the seed,
one of the mills has decided to have
cut made of the invoice, and this
cut will be published in the local pa
pers, thus showing the public exact
" what the seed cost.
