WASHINGTON. 



Mrs. G. Supper, who is employed at 

 the Gude Bros, store, started last Sat- 

 urday on a four weeks' vacation. With 

 Mr. Supper, she will soon leave for 

 one of the popular summer resorts. 



A telegram from the Washington 

 delegation which went to attend the 

 convention of the S. A. F. and O. H. 

 at San Francisco, tells of the safe ar- 

 rival of the party, all of whom are 

 very enthusiastic at the efforts made 

 by associations and individual florists 

 all along the line to entertain them. 



Mr. and Mrs. Henry Pfister were 

 scheduled to leave Switzerland, dur- 

 ing the week for the United States, 

 according to a postal card just re- 

 ceived by Albert Schnell. They have 

 been abroad for a number of months 

 and would have returned earlier were 

 it not for the fact that great difficulty 

 is experienced in securing transporta- 

 tion. 



Detlef Witt, who was connected with 

 his brother in business at Silver Hill, 

 Md., for about two and a half years, 

 is a member of the army stationed in 

 Russia. Air. Witt returned to Ger- 

 many with his father about a year ago 

 with the intention of taking charge 

 of the Jatter's farm in Holstein. Early 

 in the spring he was called on to take 

 his place In the German army and was 

 assigned to a regiment of infantry. 



Carlos J. Jensen, representing L. 

 Daehnfeldt, Ltd., of Odense, Denmark, 

 last week conferred with the Foreign 

 Trade Advisers of the State Depart- 

 ment with a view to securing their aid 

 in obtaining a modification of the Brit- i 

 ish embargo, as set forth in the Order ' 

 in Council of March 11 and subsequent- 

 regulations, in order that it may be 

 made possible to secure the shipment 

 of seeds to the United States from 

 this country to Denmark. This firm 

 has seed gardens in the San Jose val- 

 ley of California, in Denmark and in 

 Germany. Unmolested exportation 

 from Denmark is permissible under 

 England's restrictions only where it 

 can be proven that they are Danish 

 products. This is a hard matter to do 

 in the case of the seeds grown in Ger- 

 many. With respect to shipments of 

 seeds from and to Denmark, this can 

 only be accomplished where it is guar- 

 anteed to the British authorities that 

 they will not be re-exported to enemy 

 countries.
