America, on the ground that certain fruit diseases are being 
carried into that country on export goods. Indeed the first 
order was one of absolute exclusion of both fresh and dried fruit, 
but the American Ambassador protested so vigorously that the 
decree was finally modified to admit dried fruits as before and to 
subject fresh fruits to examination. At Washington the threat 
of quarantine against our export horses is regarded as a part of 
the trade war inaugurated against imports into Germany, and 
the feeling is undoubtedly in favor of very severe retaliatory 
measures if further interference with the trade is attempted.—
