Mnston Dec. ll—-;& nots of e{- planation from Germany in responee to the American view concerning the sinking of the steamer Lana’d on Oct. the state department today i e Grew at Berlin. It says the Lapao was sailing under the ‘British flag and was sunk by a sub- marine after provision for the safety of her crew, because she was captured ag contraband and could not be iato pori. ‘The question at issue is whether was under American regis- try, in which case Germany would be Uable for damages to her owners It is admitted that she was scld by her owners in Manila before starting on her last voyage, but her masfer has reported that the actual transfer of régistry had not taken place. This point will be investigated ftirther. The German note, dated Berlin, Dec. , and signed by Foreign Secretary reply as follows to the note of Mr. Grew, charge d’affaires of the United States of America, dated the 21st ulti- mo, relative to the sinking of the COURT MARTIAL SENTENCE APPROVED BY PRESIDENT Of Guardsman Who Refused to Obey the Federal Call for Borcer Duty ‘Washington, Dec. 13.—President Wil- son today approved the action of an army court martial in _sentencing Lewis C. Gardner, of the New Mexico militia, to dishonorable discharge and a year in prison at hard labor for failure to obey the federal call for border duty last June, but remitted the prison sentence because the case had_been pressed as a test. War department officials regard the decision as important because of the warning it gives to more than 10,000 enrolled members of the national guard who have not appeared for fed- eral service. Gardner was enrolled as member of B company, First Infantry, New Mex- ico National Guard. He was one of r considerable number who refused to be mustered into the federal service but the others changed their minds when courtsmertial were ordered and Joined their companies rather than face trial. Major Blanton Winship of the judge advocate-general's depart- ment was especially assigned to carry on the presecution before a court composed of both regular and national guard officers, the latter from the ac- cused soldier’s own regiment. ‘When the case came up for appro- val, Secretary Baker took the position that Gardner was not aware of the gravity of his offense and as the pur- pose of the proceedings had been serv- ed by the conviction, that the prison sentence be remitted. Army officers say the right of the federal government to enforce service of national guardsmen has been well established- and a precedent set for the treatment of future ‘“slackers.” Thelr claim, however, that the fact that between 10,000 and 15,000 enroll- ed members of the guard never have been located for- federal service, con- stitutes e serious impeachment of the whole national guard system and ex- pect to have this point fully presented to the military committees of con- gress during the present session. A special report on the mobilization of the guard is now before Secretary Baker, but its conclusions have not been made public. MANIFOLD TROUBLES OF MILKMEN DESCRIBED To Wicks Investigating Committes at Hearing in New York. New York, Dec. 13.—Troubles of the milkmen were described before the Wicks legisiative investigating com- mittee here today by Loton Horton, president of one of the largest dls- tributing companies in this cily He Dompl.'uned that: ‘Many persons use milk drivers as alarm clocks. “Fine, fashionable people, who rent swell apartments here in the winter and leave for Florida in the spring, Mso leave their milk bills behind. “A milk driver climbs on an ave- rage 324 flights of stairs a day. and twice a week this is doubled because of the bills he has to deliver. “No man who climbs that number of stairs can last more- than three years.” Referring to the' “fine, fashionable people” who go away without paying their milk bills, Mr. Horton said it was often necessary to follow them to the country and “dun” them. “I tell my boys,” he a.dded “to fol- low them to the grave.” The Sheffleld Farms-Slawson Deck- er company, of which Mr. Horton is the head, had a surplus of $800,000 last year, but‘this was not “considered satisfactory,” the witness said. Of the amount, Mr. Horton stated, $200,- 000 went to depreciation of lyufldlngs $100,000 to salaries, $120,00 for divi- dends and the remnnhg $380,000 to capital stock. His company selis 800,000 quarts of milk a day, he added. Asked why he had not explained to the committee the difference in the cost of milk to his concern in summer and winter, and why the consumer was not given the benefit thereafter, M.r Horton exclaimed: ! “Oh, I'm tired of explaining why I ive!” Winsted—The New England Knit- ting company et Winsted hes an- nounced a ten per cent. increase in wages tb its 200 employes, effective on January 1.

Rudnd‘ the State-Department—Says the Steamer Was Flymg British Flag and Was Sunk by a German Submarine After Provision Was Made for Safety of Crew. 2 4 steamer Lanao by a German subma- rine. “On Oct. 28 last a German sudma- rine encountered the eteamer Lanao on the way to Le Havre and captured it as a prize because it waa carrying contraband to the enemy. Since the submarine was unable io conduct the Lanzo into a German or allied port witaout exposing itself to the danger of sinking, it sank the steamer after iit had taken the crew on board. The crew was then sent on hoard the Nor- ‘wegian steamer Tromp, which was just at thoe time in sight “The steamer Lanao belonged orig- inally to the Findlay-Millar Steamship company of Manila. It was, however, sold in July, 1916, to the shipping firm of Hannevig Brothers of London and sailed since under the English flag. The owners of the firm of Hannevig Brothers are the sons of the _ship- owner Christian Hannevig of Borre, Norsway, and are, like him, Norwegian subjects. *“The undersigned requests Mr. Grew, charge d’affaires, communicate the above to the government of the United States, and avails himself, ete.” - - RELIEF OF THE NEWS PRINT PAPER SITUATION To be Considered at a Meeting to be Held in Washington Friday. ‘Washington, Dec. 13.—Newspaper publishers were urged in a statement by the federal trade commission today to be present or to telegraph author- ity for others now here to act for them at the meeting to be held in Washington Triday to consider the proposed plan for relief of the- news print paper situation which has re- sulted in high prices driving many small newspapers out of business.
