Rye-Our Share for 1918

In planning Tor bread ir 1918, the Government has estimated the possi- 1 bilities for every state in the Union i Connecticut normally grows 5000 acres | of Rye. The Government expects us 1 to grow twice this amount sin 191S- It, 900 acres. There is no good reason 1 Rye practically never fails to make a gair crop; it is well adapted to our l soils and climate; it is a crop we all | know how to grow.
 The important point is good seed. If good, plump seed can be obtained local ly. use it by all means. Otherwise get Mammoth White Winter, Giant White Winter, 1T Wisconsin Pcdigreed from a l reliable salesman.
 Perhaps the best place for rye is after corn-especially Ensilage corn. Don't blow, simply disk the land. If the corn was well manured no addi- | tional manure of fertilizer will be need ed. except perhaps a few hundred pounds of acid phosphate. Rye may also follow potatoes even when they are dug late. In this case mo disking is necessary. W l.. Slate, Jr.,-Con- necticut Agricultural College. Connecticut Milk and Butter Scoring The regular quarterly milk and but cut Agricultural College August I5.

Diplomatic Privileges Withdrawn.

Immediately after the break in re-
lations the German authorities in Brus-
sells withdrew from Mr.. Whitlock the
diplomatic privileges and immunities
which he had up to that time enjoyed
His courier service to The Hague
was stopped, he was denied the privi-
lege Of communicating with the Depart
ment of State in cipher, and later even
in plain language. The members of the
relief commission were placed under
great restrictions of movements and
communications, which hampered the
efficient performance of their task. In
spite of all these difficulties the gov
errment and commission were deter
mined to keep the work going till the
last possible moment.
Now, however. more serious diff
ficulty has arisen. In the course OF
the past ten days several of the com
missions ships have been attacked
without warning by German subma-
rines in fragrant violation of the solemn
engagements of the German govern
ment Protests addressed by this gov
eminent to Berlin through the inter-
mediary of the Spanish government
have not been answered. The German
governments disregard of it's written
undertakings causes grave concern as
to the future of the relief work. In any
event IL is felt that the American staff
of the commission can no longer serve
with advantage in Belgium. Although
a verbal promise has been made that
the members of the commission would
be permitted to leave If they desired.
the German governments observance
of it's other undertakings has not been
such that the department would feel
warranted in accepting responsibility
for leaving these American citizens in
German occupied territory.

ment to send into Belgium. certain

Text of Statement.

The official statement given out by
the State Department follows:
by direction of the President, the
minister at Brussels has been instruct
ed to withdraw from Belgium with for
eign diplomatic and consular officers.
and take up his official residence at
Havre.
After consultation with the commits
sion for relief in Belgium. Mr.. Whit
lock has also been instructed to ar
range for the departure of the Amer
lean members of the commission. This
step. the seriousness of which is fully
appreciated by the government, was
taken only after careful consideration
and full consultation with all the in
terests involved.
When diplomatic relations with
Germany were broken off the normal
procedure would have been to withdraw
the minister at Brussels and the Amer
lean members of the relief commission.
Both this government and the commits
sion, however. felt a heavy moral re-
sponsibility for the millions of inno-
cent civilians behind the German lines
and it was decided that the work of
the commission must be kept going de-
spite all difficulties until continued
American participation became impos-
sible.
For over two years it has been the
single-minded purpose of this govern
ment and the commission to see that
these ten millions of civilians were
fed. and. with this end in view, the
Americans concerned have submitted
to restrictions forced on them by the
German authorities which, under or
binary conditions, would never have
been tolerated.
