Berlin, via London The Cologne Gazette declares that the report of a German desire for peace, which it says are probably inspired by the British, belong to the "region of higher political idiocy." "The posi tion of the Germans, neither in the East nor West," it continues, "is crit ical. German military undertakings on all the battlefield are progressing fa vorably. Neither the military nor the political situation contain any reason which might make Germany desirous to conclude peace." Italian Accuse France. Berlin Dispatches appearing in Italian newspaper are to the effect that molestation of Italian shipping by the French is a part of a systematic plan of the French to divert the mari time trade of Genoa ' to Marseilles. Word come from Rome that in North ern Italy there is much feeling against England, many foundries being closed because of the seizure of copper and lesd. British imports in October, ac cording to Roma reporta, decreased 40 per cent, and the exports 60 per cent, as compared with last year. Germani'Sag No Change. Berlin An official announcement given out in Berlin says : "English ship did not, attack the coast of Flanders again Friday. There hava been no actual change along tba battle front in the western arena. To the north of Lang-em arck, w hava taken a group of house and made a number of prisoners. Our attack in the Argonne region has made further progress. French attacks in the neigb feorbood of Apremont were repulsed." Seattle. There is considerable ac tivity In apples, but prices are not quotably higher. One of the apple features during the week was the re celpt of several carloads of Jonathans from the upper Columbia district It has been noted that the larger size are watery, with defective core, but the run of medium and small stock is well adapted to the trade, and will prove good sellers. Prices are 75c to There Is a good undertone to the lo val vegetable market, and the feeling reaches, into practically every staple offered, root stock and hothouse goods redominating. The demand for local celery is good, the newer arrivals of the golden hearts stimulating the de mand. Prices sre 40 60c. Hothouse leaf lettuce is no longer one of the leading vegetable staples as In days gone by. It has been a drug on the market this season. Crate lots are selling at 40050c.

The United States and Germany are among the power which have recorded their acceptance of the declaration. while Great Britain ba not taken this action. One article of tha declaration pro vide that it ahall be binding aa be tween belligerent power only on those by which it ha been ratified. Soon after the. outbreak or the European war it became evident that, while they recognised in a general way the spirit of the declaration, some of the belligerent power intended to insist on great modifications of im portant details, basing their action on the fact that they had not formally ratified the convention. Since the declaration wa in fact a compromise between the extreme view of the several governments, which participated in the conference, a high official here pointed out that it would have been neither just nor fstr. in the opinion of the government, to consent to any modification without the agreement of all parties. The State department felt obliged to withdraw from its adherence to the declaration, even before the German protest waa received. It is said, however, that the Ger man position that the Briusn nave violated the spirit of the declaration of London by seizing and detaining food supplies carried in neutral bot toms and consigned to German porta. directly or indirectly, is recognized by the United States officials a sound. Convict Demands Wage. Providence R. L Arguments on the constitutionality of the law authoriz ing the state to mske contracts celling the labor of prisoners without com pensating them were heard before the Rhode Island Supreme court. On the ground that such enforced servitude on the part of a prisoner is slsvery and that the state constitution prohibits slavery without making an exception against convicts, the national commit tee on prison labor is pressing the suit against s garment company which holds a contract for prisoners' labor. Clergy Want to Battle. Berlin The Evangelical clergymen of Berlin and its suburbs have signed a declaration against the military de cree which says that student clergy men, ordained, or clergymen who have been pensioned msy not be celled to arms. In their protest the clergymen declare this decree cannot be justified and is sn insult to them. All other classes and professions have the honor of being able to fight for their country and they wouled do likewise. They ars going to petition the reicbstsg to revoke the decree. Trade Balance Crowe. Washington, D. C Exports at the principal ports, which handle 80 per cent of that business, totaled $89,217, 637 for the week ended November 21, as against imports . of $24,834,124, leaving a trade balance of more than 114,000,000 in favor of the United SUte for the week and bringing th trad balance for th month to more than $46,000,000. Effects of Spraying Heavy Oil en Tress Th Oil Penetrated th Bark and Killed th Tlssu. but by other who are reckless to the point of seeming to delight In taking chances Many kind of oils hsre been used for spraying Insect pest, some of which hsre proved reliable and others Injurious. Kerosene oil can be used on some plants under certain condi tion without causing Injury, while In other cases it will kill them. Wa have seen quite a few shade trees killed by spraying with kerosene and water to exterminate woolly aphis; tba on soaked into the bark, reached the cambium and sapwood, destroying the tissue. Gas oil. a heavy oil used In the manufacture of water gas, la very In lurtous to trees wbn used aa a spray A few years ago several hundred shade trees wero severely injured In one of the eastern cities by spraying the trunks with this oil to kill clusters of gipsy moth eggs, it being used with out anv knowledge whatever of Its adaptability to this purpose. Ordinary house paint has some times been used on smooth-bark trees with great Injury. Occasionally commercial oils used for soraylng fruit tree for the San Jose scale cause local Injury, and some shade trees have been known to be affected by their use. Oils and other material to keep down the dust In roadbeds are now much In use, and we have observed some Injury from this source, when the trees were located close to the highway and the buttresses of the roots were exposed. Salt used on sidewalks. In gutters and trolley lines in winter has been known to injure the root systems of trees. Arsenate of soda, potassium cyanide and other chemicals sre ex tremely poisonous to trees and will cause death.'
