The liner St Paul, which was expected to reach New York today with affidavits from American survivors of the Sus sex disaster, is not likely to get to port before Thursday. This may de lay an important decision with re gard to German-American relations which was to have been reached at tomorrow's) session of the cabinet Ambassador Gerard's report bear ing on the German disclaimer of re sponsibility for the Sussex explosion Is due here today. A compilation of evidence to meet this disclaimer Is In progress. The nature of this evi dence Is kept a closely guarded sec ret. A high authority, however, stated It was "strong enough" to con vince President Wilson that a Teu ton submarine attacked the Sussex, but perhaps not sufficiently conclu sive to warrant a severance of diplo matic relations. While Germany declared that "In torpedoing four British freighters it did not violate any of its assurances to the United States, the administra tion is reported to see in that stand an attitude deserving of an imme diate sharp check. Facing the diffi culty of proving individual cases, of ficialdom believes President Wilson may act upon cumulative evidence of Germany disregarding its solemn as surances . The administration will proceed upon its own evidence, re gardless of the German findings, It its own proves sufficiently strong.

Service GERARD CAPITAL CnMk Pass htm COUNTY AGENT'S NOTES I am now living at 501 North Third street, In Grants Pass. My telephone number la 113-R. While I am in the country almost all the time except Saturdays, I can be reached, almost always, at home In the evening. The office phone It with the commercial club, number 15$, where I will be found on Satur days. Mr. Riley will attend any calls that may come In during my absence In the country and any messago left with him will bo delivered to me when I come in. Tho warm weather of the past week has hastened the fruit bloom and In tunny Instances pears are past the time tor tho pink spray Most ot tho apples are Just rlnht for It now. Many of tho pears are Just about ready for the calyx spray and tho apples will be ready for It by tho end of this week or the first of next. This should ibo applied when about 75 per cent, or a little more, of the bloom has fallen and before any of the calyx lobes have closed. The purpose of this spray Is to got some of the material enclosed In tho calyx end as It closes. This Is the first codling moth and the third scab spray. Use Umo-sulphiir 1 to 35 and arsenate of lead 4 to 100. It you anticipate using atomic sulphur In a later spray you should add four pounds of the atomic sulphur in this spray in order to prepare the trees for this spray later. There is no doubt less danger from burning the fruit If this method is followed. I should like very much If some of our orchnrdlsts would try this out on a few trees and watch results. I again wish to remind you that I have 50 of the latest books on agri cultural subjects. These are for loan calling at my office If I am not In. Mr. Riley will give them out when you call. ! I am finding some soils that show( acid. I should like to have more samples to try out. C. D. THOMPSON, County Agent. TAKE BODY OF DEAD AUTO RACER EAST Los lAngeles, April 10.
