No Guards Are in Sight.

One felt like regular Spy" drifting
along, both in front and in rear Of the
embassy to see if any guards" had
been placed to protect the embassy. AS
far as was discernible. no guards were
in sight. The fact u.s. as far as one might
look up and down Connecticut avenue
not an officer of the law was in sight
anywhere, at least about 10:45 or IL
o'clock.
The British embassy sat across the
street from the Austro- Hungarian en-
bassy this morning, as it usually does,
but today the imaginative. very imag-
NATIVE passerby could imagine he felt
counter charges of electricity. passing
backward and forward. meeting square
ly at the neutral zone on the car track,
and thence flowing down into the slot
to help send the street cars to and
fro on their journeys.
The largest crowd since election
stood in front of The Star bulletin
board today to read the latest dis
patches on the present foreign situa-
ton. There was no excitement. but
the sense Of seriousness was evidently
present to all the readers of the lat
est news. as bulletined on The Star

ALL SEEMS T0BE QUIET
AROUND THE EMBASSIES
No Guards in Sight and No Special
Activities on Part of leu
tons Apparent.

Passersby in front Of the German and
embassies this
morning found these two seats of their
respective governments in the capital
of the United States quite as usual
from the exterior. Those who looked
for a special police guard today were
disappointed, as none was to be seen.
There appeared not a sign of life at
the German embassy. located at 1875
Massa chusetts avenue at a late hour
this morning. The flag was not up.
and, save for a taxi standing in the
terrace" as the north side of this
particular block is designated. the only
thing that seemed to stir around the
embassy was a curtain in an opened
window on the top floor.
Equally quiet seemed the Austro-
Hungarian embassy, at 1905 Connecti-
cut avenue. No policemen were to be
seen at either the front of the build
ing or at the back, which projects on
18th street Connecticut avenue making
a sort of wedge along here.

fldential and close personal friend of
the President. who rushed to Washing
ton last night and was today closeted
with the President throughout the bet
ter part of the day
1t was not considered probable today
that President Wilson will go TO Con-

Look for Active Duty.
Naval officers today looked forward
to active duty at sea within a very
short time. They have no idea what it
will be, but protection of American YES
sells and lives would be one and gun
ming for German submarines off New
York harboT would be another. Naval
men are strongly of the opinion that
Germany has prepared long for the step
she has taken and that if she has rea-
son to think President Wilson will
promptly sever diplomatic relations
she has made preparation for sub
marine warfare outside New York
harbor
Administration officials and all men
agreed today that Germany has right
to blockade England if she can con-
duct an actual blockade according to
international laws. which recognized
the right of sinking of vessels only
where they resist capture or seek to
elude capture by running away. that
Germany does not propose to do this is
evidenced by the fact that she notifies
the United States of her intention to
return to a system of marine warfare
would not stand for and which Ger

The most serious accusation against
Germany in official circles today, when
ever anybody ven.ured remark, was
as to Germany's sudden action in CIV
ing notice of her blockade and her
plans within few hours of the time
of taking effect. United States ships
and business men have arranged their
business, especially as to. sailings. in
accordance with Germany's promise to
the United States to recognize interna-
tional laws so far as they could be ap-
piled under modern progress in marine
warfare. Few vessels that have sailed
from New York recently will be able to
reach English and Mediterranean ports
without the danger of being torpedoed

Two German Views.

Two opposing views of American hos

German censor. The first was that the
harm the United States could do Ger

greater than as neutral supplying
munitions and loans to the allies and
that the Gripping of allied shipping
would be the turning point of the war.

Chance of Guarding Commerce.
Naval officials do not believe that a
material increase in the damage to al
lied commerce is to be expected. Of
Acers think it quite possible that
Great Britain may assemble fleets OF
merchantmen and take them through
the danger zones under heavy guard of
light. swift submarine destroyers. A
circle of such boats about the mer-
chantmen. it was said, would make it
exceedingly dangerous for submarine
to come to operate, and while an occa-
sional big ship might be torpedoed. the
greater number could be protected.

row close to the ground Is there
anything that can be done to prevent
this?-I. D. F.
Answer: This rotting is caused by
excess moisture, usually because the
ground is lower in the row than on
either side. This can be prevented by
drawing the dirt toward the row until
the ground is higher in the row than

JUPITER'S ANGER
 CAUSE OF STORM
Tree Uprooted;; No Electric Ser
 vice During Heavy Storm

A terrific thunder shower swept through this city yesterday afternoon and caused considerable damage. Trees were uprooted, houses shaken, electric light service was weakened, trolley service was temporarily crip- plea, and most important of all the excessive heat wave which baked the city for the past few days had it's back broken.
 It was just about 4.30 yesterday afternoon when old hoary Jupiter quite suddenly became incensed at some act of either the nine gods or at some act of mortals. It is rumored that ne was affected by the heat so that hls ire was increased a hundred fold. At any rate he became angry and rose up from his throne seizing' his omnipotent thunderbolt and hurl- ed it with appalling power. It struck a tree on Erwin place and it clove the tree Tn two equal parts in an in- stant Other bolts from the strong right arm of Jupiter followed and they met their marks. One struck a wire on Grove Hill. another cut off a limb or a tree in front of the High street residence of Rev. Dr. Earle B. Cross ana another uprooted an inn mense tree before the home of Major Frank H. Johnston.
 The storm ceased in less than one hour but the damage to the lighting service and trolley service was not repaired so soon. The lights were out Tn almost the entire city until 7:45 and more than an hours time had elapsed before the trolleys had suf- : ficient power to operate.
 Jupiter had not been wholly ap- peased by the injuries he had wrought by the late afternoon storm, for he become angry a second time about 7 o'clock in the evening. Then one could hear him raging, his full and deep voice making the rum bling and roaring of the thunder and the flashes of lightning were his thunder bolts. About 7:30 he considered his days work finished and quietly sub- sided.
