"Money may be sent to local. Red Cross treasurers or to the Red Cross headquarters "in Washington.

There were practically no food supplies to be pur chased in Mexico City, he said. TO FORM LEAGUE OF PEACE.

Germany's; re ply to the American note concerning the sinking of the Lusitania with-a loss of more, than 100 American lives, pro duced a feeling of profound disappoint ment here. Dissatisfaction . at the failure of Germany to answer the de mands of the United States was; re flected in government circles gen- erally. President .Wilson had retired early before, the text arrived, but from,a reading of the summary published to day -and Ambassador Gerard's , fore cast; he had an accurate, . impression, ot I what- ILqntained, v v : "' i --T' - Bryan.

Just what course of action the United States will pursue l is undetermined. i President "Must Know Gennany'a j . Policy Toward Neutrals.'. Washington, June 1. President Wilson determined today . that the United States must ascertain definitely and promptly from Germany whether that country intends in the future to be guided by the accepted principles of international law and the right of neutral or to follow Its own rules ol maritime warfare. , The president listened to a varied expression of opinion at a meeting of his cabinet, taking little part in the discussion himself. Later he began the preparation of . a note to be dis patched before the end of this week. embodying his own ideas ana wnat seemed to him the concensus ui.-inofficial family. Reply Unsatisfactory. The verdict of a majority of the cabinet was that the German reply to the American note following the sink ing of the Lusitania was unresponsive and unsatisfactory, disregarding th good will of the United States, doubt ing its facts and disclaiming all blame for destruction of the merchantman with American lives. The questions of fact raised by Germany erej;e garded as irrelevant at this time. The trend of opinion was that the United States must learn" soon whether Ger many intends to recognize the hither to accepted principle that neutral may travel anywhere on the high seas on unarmed merchant ships, even if such vessels carry contraband and that merchantmen which do not resist capture must be visited and searched and the passengers and crew; trans ferred to a; place of safety before th vessel Is destroyed. j - TO RUN MOTOR CARS.

With such re cognition would come an embargo on, arms permitting'; the constituted gov-, ernment to receive munition pf war to the exclusion of all other elements and factions. r ; That the eoverhment's policy, if un successful in this course, might re-j quire ultimate intervention has been; considered, and the intentions to in sfsCon a settlement has not been swayed by the possible necessity or such, action. In high executive , quar ters, however, confidence prevails that the expression of the American gov ernment's attitude will clear up mis apprehensions that have existed, in coalition government. .

L.; Perkins.) r Cultivation plays one of the most important parts in making large yields.; After, just such a long raining ; period as has been here, Is when the farmer should be at his best, both, in mind and body. The corn fields by ; the time they are dry enough to culti-J , vate will have - a heavy growxn . oi weeds and grass. It is at such a; time as this that the farmer is likely to , do - J his crops worlds of damage. He, is prone to cultivate too deeply in his ef forts to" completely, at one operation, eradicate both weeds and grass. ; It would be much better for the farmer to -J cultivate twice shallow, than, to culti vate once deep at such a time, If every farmer will, while cultivat- ;i ing his corn, stop and gently remove soil from upper roots of one corn plant he will at once see. at; what depth he should run his cultivator in order not to break from his plants the organs which carry the plant food. It is about as important for a plant to have. -Its full root system retained as.it is for a -man to have a - perfect system of blood vessels in his body.
