"They asked in very distinct terms

HISTORY OF ALFALFA PLANT
Records Show 1t Was Carried Into
California From Chile in 1854
Spreading Eastward.

Alfalfa is very old plant. 1t was
taken from Persia to Greece by XcrXeS
and his army, 500 b. G.. Three hun
drcd and fifty years later the Romans
carried it from Greece to Rome. pliny,
the Roman naturalist who lived the
first century after Christ, tells of its
value.
1t was probably taken from Rome
to Carthage and the surrounding ter
ritory, and from there to Spain about
700 A. ID. From Spain 1t was carried
to France to Belgium and England.
II was esteemed in England when Co
lumbuS discovered America. Cortcz
brought 1t to Mexico, others took ii to
Peru and Chile, and to New England.
In 1871, we have Il record of it be-
ing carried to California from Chile,

German SubIllarincs Send Grain oBats

the announcement Of the torpedoing
and sinking by German submarines OF
seven Dutch cargo vessels, two OF
which, the Noorderdijlk and the Iaan

American line.
Two others, the Ecmland and the

ing been given to understand by the
German authorities that the date
would be relatively safe the so
called safe period for neutral ships
sailing from British ports which orig
inally expired February s, having
been extended at tho request of the
DutCn government.
The ships sunk aggregate more
than 10000 tons.
The foreign ministry today made
the following announcements:
"Whcn unrestricted submarine war
fare was proclaimed, the Netherlands
government not only protested against
it., but insisted that the German gov
crnmcnt should take care that no
Dutch ships then cn route TO or from
Dutch ports should be victims OF the
new measure. Germany declared her
willingness to do this, but added that
! 1t was impossible to guarantee abso-
lutte safety"
The statement says further that the
seven ships which have been torpc-
! docd vailed themselves of German
offer to sail on February %. They
were to sail together on westerly
course out of the danger zone and
/ then proceed to their destinations

Of revenue and national defense legis'

sideration, Is out OF the way. The
House will pass the Army appropria-
tion within few days, and then devote
Its attention to the sundry civil and
general deficiency appropriations.
What emergency legislation may be
enacted before adjournment depends
entirely upon the decision OF the Pres
ident. Many believe he will communi.
cate within few days his plans for
handling the international crisis. Pre-
vailing opinion Is that he will ask
Congress for authority to use tho

protection Of American seamen and
American rights on the high seas, not
with the purpose Of making war, but
to open the sea to shipping

the withdrawal OF the state troops Is in

Germany, but carries out policy de-.
termined to long ago. The order was
issued after General Funston had re-
ported that he had enough regulars to
meet any border exigencies that might
arise. Many guard units already had
been ordered home during the past few
weeks, and the number Of guardsmen
remaining and to be demoboli2cd un-

1t is desirable, where possible, to

desirable for several reasons. The

An Ancient Lift.

The earliest mention of device In any way resembling the modern ele. vator or lift may be read in Vitruvius, who describes a hoisting machine which was invented by Archimedes. This elevator of the second century B. C., was worked by ropes which were coiled upon winding drum by a cap. stan and levers. The same writer re- fers to another similar machine which was made to rotate by a man who walked inside the capstan. Such a primitive elevator is still in use to lift passengers and luggage from the first to the second story of convent on Mount Sinai.
