TRANSPORTATION MATTERS
ln the House of Commons on May 3rd, the Ac-
ting Minister of Railways made an interesting state- ment regarding the progress being made on the Car Ferry terminals at Carleton and Tormentine. He sta- ted that the work was almost completed at Cape Tor- mentine and was so far advanced at Carleton Point that the Car Ferry would be able to commence the ser- vice in the fall, probably about Oct. lst.
.\lr_ Hughes was skeptical on this point and doubt-
ed whether the contractors .\lessrs Roger Miller & Sons, Toronto, would be able to live up to the pro- mise. Mr. Nesbit, Liberal member for Oxford, N. S. defended the contractors from the imputation and the Acting Minister said the contractors had a high re- putation for bustling throughout Canada.
\\'hile the Carferry connection will be made to-
wards the end of the year, the widening of the gauge of the P. F.. I. Railway cannot possibly be underta- ken meanwhile so that there \vill be no railway con- nection this year between the Island and the mainland. ln this connction the Acting Minister gave some addi- tional information regarding the steamer communica- tion during coming summer. Both the Carferry and the Stanle_\' will continue to run between Charlotte- town and Pctou_ It mav be mentioned that this was
the result oi representations made to the Minister by pt
l\Ir. .\. .-\. McLean, M. P., at the instance of the Charlottetown Board of Trade. Mr. McLean waited upon the Minister who was accompanied by Mr. Gutel- ius and urged the advisability of cutting side hatches in the Carferry to enable her to dischage and load freight at the same time. Mr. McLean, also- at the instance of the Charlottetown Board of Trade, made representations regarding the train service on the Mur- ray Harbour branch. Mr. Nicholson and lie had been interviewing the department on the subject for some time but it was not until Mr. Gutelius arrived in Ottawa that they were able to arrange matters.
lt must he said that the Government has been most
conciliatory in its attitude towards the province in these matters. The continuance of both the Carferry and the Stanley on the Cllarlottetown Picton route in addition to the Northumberland on the Sunimersidc l’t du Chcnc route was more than the most optimistic member of the Board of Trade anticipated. The con- gestion at Picton should speedily be relieved and the trade between the province and the mainland resume its normal course.

GERMANTS REPLY T0 U. S.
I The German reply to the last American note has
been received in Washington and is no\v being given consideration. To a people who have exhibited such remarkable patience in the frequent interchange of notes during the past year as the Americans have shown there probably is material for still further con- sideration iu the latest German reply, which is typi- cally German. lt is evasive» ironical, defiant, concilia- tory, by turns and untruthful and deceitful through- out. Its dominant note is hatred of England, its reply to American accusations of breach of faith and pro- mises, denial, or where that was out of the question evasion and a desire to further consider the questions raised. The German government the reply asserts, had instructed its submarine commanders to strictly observe international usage, has “imposed far reach- ing restraints upon the use of the submarine weapon, solely in consideration of neutrals’ interests, in spite of the fact that these restrictions are necessarily of an advantage lo Germany’s_ enemies. No such consi- deration hzis ever been sliowiineutrals by Great Bri- tain and her Allies.” It admits that mistakes may have occurred in the carrying out of their orders and repeats that the German government has “made seve- ral proposals to the government of the United States in order to reduce to a minimum for American tra-
Q is that any misfortune that may have befallen Ameri- 1” '
if » `_. '/- »`
“can citizens or American goods, was through the fault of the United States. In pthervvords, had American citizens remained ashore and American goods beeni kept at home the fomier would nothave been drown- ed nor the latter lost through the torpedoing of Ameri- can or other neutral ships! ` '
The German reply concludes as follows:
1 “ In accordance with the general principles of visit , and search and the destruction of merchant vessels re- cognized by intemational law, such vessels- both within and without the area declared a naval war zone, shall ,riot be sunk without waming and without saving hu- `nian lives until the ship attempts to escape or olTer re- sistance." G ' ’
“But neutrals cannot expect that Germany forced
to light for existance for the sake of neutral interests, restrict the use of an effective weapon if the enemy is permitted to continue to apply at will methods of war- fare violating rules intemational * * * * and I it does not doubt that the government of the United States will now demand and insist that the British :Government shall forthwith observe the rules of inter- national law universally recognized before the war, as are laid down in the notes presented by the govern- ment of the United States to the British Govemment December 18, 1914, and November 5, 1915.
“Should steps taken by the govemment of the Uni-
yted States not attain the object it desires, to have the laws of humanity followed by all belligerent nations the German Government would then be facing a new situation, in which it must reserve to itself complete liberty of decision.
This, with the usual assurances of “highest coiisi-
deration" etc, concludes the note. ‘ The United States press is generally quite outspo- ken in its comments on the German reply. According to the New York Times, the weight of American press opinion, disapproves of it. In the south. especially, the , reply is regarded as unsatisfactory. Of the newspa- pers which are quoted, 59 disapprove the tone of the| note 23 approve and 23 are non-committal. , According to our despatches this morning the Uni- _ ted States government is preparing another note in reply. The tenor of the reply is that as long as Ger- * many's new instructions to her submarines are observ- ed the present diplomatic relations will be continued, but that the United States Governmem cannot allow Germany to dictate itsnegotiations with Great Britain l What will happen if Germany again breaks her word and continues to murder neutrals on the high seas is
‘ not stated. ' ‘
DAIRYING IN P E. ISLAND.
The progress made in this province will always bei
coupled very closely with the dairy industry. Pro-l gress in dairying implies two features: (I) quality; (2) quantity. The first feature is an absolute esscn-I tial to-day, because never have the purchasing public 'made such stringent demands 'in their dairy products.
:Never again will the standards of quality in' butter and cheese bc on agpar with those which existed a yfew years past. 'I` he science of bacteriology has rele- _ gated into the rubbish heap our ideas of twenty years Iago in reference to the care of milk and the manufac- ture of butter and cheese. The lsland's output is so `small when it gets to the large markets that our sell- ing price is regulated according as the quality mea,-` sures up with that from the larger districts. ‘ \\'e are told that our prices for cheese are not as ‘ high as those obtained in other districts. If this is 1 correct the patrons of the factories should know it and ` should know why. ls our milk not handled pro- * pcrly or are our factories andfmakers not up to the. standard, or is it in the system of selling the cheese? Some tell us that our cheese should weigh 80 lbs. in- stead of 70. Some say the factories are not in good ‘repair; others say the milk is not delivered properly 1 However it may be if the price is not right it is time yto become serious. ' y We do know that our output was graded as finest a few years ago and also that our climate is excellent _ and that there is an abundance of spring water forl cooling the milk in the country. We are informed
‘ that one of our markets has been lost and that some of the largest buyers hesitate about handling any more ‘ of our output.
There arc conflicting reports in circulation, re-
igarding’ the industry at present and probably the Dairymen’s Association will be able in the near fut- ' ure to throw some light on the matter. ‘
