GERMAN SUBMARINE SINKS
 WITH THIRTY MEN ON BOARD
No Lives Lost-Water Bunkers Be-
 came Accidentally Filled.

kieI. Germany, Jan. 17.-With thir- ty men aboard, the German subma- rine U3 went to the bottom of the harbor today, through the accidental filling of her water 7ounkers. The salvage ship Vullsan was at once sent to her rescue, and chains were placed around the submarine and within a short time one end of the little craft was drawn above the surface of the water
 Through a buoy telephone the com nander of the U3 communicated with the VullSan and in a matter of fact way made the announcement that the crew were comfortable and that the suprN. of oxygent was good for AS hours.
 After the attaching of the chains was completed the massive machinery of the Null<an was set in motion and the submarine was drawn from tine bottom. She came up obliquely, how ever, and ill that position remains to- night, only one end showing above the water TWenty-seven of the crew crept through the torpedo tube when the vessel was partially raised. The three others. including the command CT, decided to stay with the ship and they are still in the tower, which lies under water owing to the slant of the craft. It is expected that they will be rescued without difficulty.

He said that the trolley had acquired a right of way from Silver street to Hilltown and Addison and on to Norwich. The roadbed had reached Glastonbury.
 1t was intended to open the first s revenue immediately. The com pany would serve one-fifth of the pop ulation of Connecticut directly and perhaps nearly two-thirds of the pop ulation directly. and indirectly. The line was an interurban line and also a local trolley. It would open coun- try new to the trolley. On the line was Marlborough, nearly dead town which will rise again. On it is Moodux with freishtage by OK teams, which will tap the line at Marlborough and Moodus will pafronize Hartford instead of Middietown. The line will bring to Hartford a million people and Hartford should get d dollar or two apiece on the average. There was no promoters stock in the coIscern.
