Teutons to Treat Armed Merchant
Ships as War Vessels tnd Sink
Them Without Warning
Washington, D. C. Diplomatic ne
gotiations of various character soon
will confront the United States as the
result of the expected intention of the
German and Austrian governments to
treat armed merchant ships of the en
tente allies as war vessel after Feb
ruary 29.
Apparently it m certain mat any
attempt by the United States to
change the present rule permitting the
of American porta by merchant
ships armed for defensive purposes
would be met by a strong protest.
Correspondence also is likely to follow
if the United States assume posi
tion which coincides with that of Ger
many and Austria regarding the right
of submarines to sink armed ships
without warning.
On the other hand, the United Stales
itself may take the initiative should
the entente allies impose s virtual
boycott on American porta in the
event that this government oectaea
that armed merchant ships entering
American waters are ships of war, and
therefore subject to internment.
The view of at least some or the
reDresentatives of the entente alii
here is that any change made in the
rule bearing on submarine w art are
durinff the war would be an unneutral
act. The governments are represented
as not being prepared to admit that
there has been any change in the con
ditions of naval warfare which woum
warrant characterising merchant ships
armed fee defensive purpose as war-
shins.
In Teutonic Quarters. However, u is
contended that merchant ships armed
for defensive purposes are really
armed for resistance and that i
chant ships have no right to resist.
Moreover, it is contended by Germany
that it is impossible to adhere to the
principle of warning merchant ships,
as, should they be armed, a single
shell of small caliber could sink an;
submarine.
American officials seem inclined to
the view that the contentions of the
German and Austrian governments are
well founded, and from several quar
ters came the information that the
United States might warn its nationals
to remain off merchant ships that are
armed. This, it was said in German
quarters, was precisely what the Ger
man and Austrian governments nave
been aiming to achieve. :
The possibility of the entente allies
putting Into effect a practical boycott
of American porta was widely dis
cussed in official circles. The allies
may permit only a sufficient number of
their unarmed ships to enter American
ports to take away merchandise and
goods consigned to themselves. It
was admitted in high official quarters
that should such a plan be put into
effect action might be taken.

$260,000. Shews placed under the
American flag at the outbreak of the

Elm Leaf Beetle Weret feet
Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
vallta. The elm leaf beetle, which ha
already become a sorlou pest In Mult
nomah county. Oregon, and threatens
to spread to otnr part of th state,
may be effectively controlled by lead
arsenate apray applied to th foliage,
The-proper spray fairly applied at th
right time to every portion of the in
fested tree will hold th peat abso
lutely In check, says A. U Lovett, en
tomologist at th Agricultural College.
Commercial lead arsenate paste
should be used at the rate of three to
five pounds of th peat to fifty gal
lons of water. Two applications
should be given, the first In the spring
just as soon aa the leaves are out well.
This is to poison the beetles that have
wintered over, which deposit the eggs.
The second and most Important spray
should be applied about three weeks
after the first. This Is to catch the
young grubs Just hatching and the re
maining beetle. Great care snouia
be taken to get this second spray on
the under surface of the leaves, since
this is where the grubs feed. Where
these sprays are not applied an appli
cation must be made in July to catca
the pests of the second generation.

EASY WAY TO HEAL
COMMON SKIN-TROUBLES
A Baltimore doctor suggests this
simple, but wtiU-tried and inexpensive,
home treatment for people suffering
with eczema, ringworm, rashes and
similar Itching, burning skin troubles.
At any reliable druggist s get a )ar
of resinol ointment and a cake or res-
tnol soap. These are not at all expen
sive. With the resinol soap and warm
water bathe the affected parts thor
oughly, until they are tree from crusts
and the skin is softened. Dry very
gently, spread on a thin layer of the
resinol ointment, and cover with a
light bandage, if necessary, to protect
the clothing. This should be done
twice a day. Usually the distressing
itching and burning stop with the first
treatment, and the skin soon becomes
elesr and healthy again unless the
trouble is due to some serious internal
disorder. Samples free. Dept 7-S,
Resinol, Baltimore, Md.
What an Automobile Buyer Leeks For
F. W. Vogler, president of the North
west Auto Company, Reo distributors.
savs that the fundamentals on which
cars are purchased by the majority of
buyers who have analyzed the situa
tion thoroughly before making a se
lection, are based on four things that
this class of purchaser insists on.
The first question asked la bow long
has this model been on the market.
r Experience has taught 'the careful
buyer that a first year model, regard
less of who is back of It, is more or
less of an experiment and the user
ultimately pays for this experiment
ing. '
When transmission is located on the
rear axle, experience has taught the
buyer that this is a good thing to avoid
because of the shocks it must get over
ordinary and rough roads.
A third point of vital Importance In
the experienced buyer's mind is the
size and stability of the manufacturer.
The experienced buyer wants a car
that is backed by the personal respon
sibility of some one individual who is
not under the constant fear that if
dividends are not of a given amount
at the end of the season the position
will be open for another man.
Service is the fourth demand of the
enstotner who has been through the
mill. He must know from personal
observation for his own satisfaction
that repair parts are kept at the dis
tributing noint Of course the finan
cial and moral standing of the dealer
selling the car is of equal importance.
