The United Stateg demands that Germany ‘disavow the acts of its naval officers in sinking merchanfmen with- out making provision for the safety of those on board in accordance with the international law of civilized na- tions. ( The United States will be satisfied only if rights of American citizens to travel wherever their business calls them on the high seas be respected. It being obvious that a submarine can | not make arrangements for the safety ofa ship’s passengers before torpedo- ling it, itis up to Germany to cease the use of submarines except against warships. The United States intends to. see that its citizens are protected against any violation of the acknowledged code of nations in dealing with mer- ichant ships. The United States will, if Germany persists in its course, take upon itself ‘the duty of enforcing such 9 rule ‘and will take the necessary steps ta make ithe séa sufe, Cuba Doesn’t Want Dernburg Havana, May 15.—The suggestion jthat Doctor Dernburg, whose pro- | German activities made him persona |non grata in the United States, may visit this country is not received with cordiality. The anti-German feeling here, following the Lusitania attack, ‘isas strong as it is in the United | States, if not stronger. The press is a unit in denouncing the attack. To- night there was anti-German rioting in the city, and the manager of the German Exchange Bank of this city was beaten by the crowd before it was dispersed by the police. German Veterans for Wilson Sioux City, Ia., May 15.—Rudolph Beerend, member of the city council \and president of the national organi- zation of former members of the Ger- man army, known as the Deutscher | | Kriegerbund von Nord Amerika, said | today that in case of war between the United States and Germany, German- Americans would be found standing solidly behind the President and fight- ing against the fatherland. “There can be no question as to the attitude of the German-Americans’’ Beerend said. ‘The Germans would organize in their own ranks regiments | to defend this country should the need arise and would be fighting for this country just as was the case when Germans organized their own troops |in the Civil War. - . “The Germans of this country give President Wilson credit for meeting a trying situation fairly, for doing his ‘utmost to preserve neutrality ~ and, right or wrong, in case of war would ; be with him to a man.”’ | Queenstown, May 13.—The cor- {orner’s jury which conducted an in- | quest into the death of those aboard the Lusitania, today reported its find- To Kill Chinch Bugs While the chinch bugs seem to be the question of the day, it might be wellto relate the experience of W. E. Taylor, who lives near Windsor. Two years ago Mr. Taylor, being bothered by the bugs; tried this ex- periment. He spllt a potato in half, hollowed the halves out and placed some chinch bugs there then tied the halves together and let them remain there five days. Mr. Taylor had a patch of wheat on his farm and on the east and west side of this were patches of oats, he placed the dis-| eased bugs from the potato in the; east field and in four days-all the chinch bugs in the field were dead, while the west side oats were com- rather fishy but Mr. Taylor vouches for it and that is.enough for us.— Henry Co.

Figures compiled in the circuit court | show that 20 per cent of all foreign- ers applying for naturalization since the sinking of the Lusitania have been Germans. _ Wrecked Aliens’ Stores London, May 12.—All the German owned restaurants on the Strand have been closed and the police called out to protect them because of the threat- ening attitude of the gathered crowds. London, May 12.—Not since the outbreak of the war has the situation so far as naturalized enemy aliens is concerned, been so critical.
