PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE
BRIDGE TO Be REBUILT
Will Be Made Over, With High
Span to Pass Dredges
Underneath.

Pennsylvania avenue bridge spanning
the Anacostia river is to be reconstructed
with high span, which will permit
dredges to pass under the structure.
Following the failure of Congress to in
clude in the District appropriation bill an
item for equipping the bridge with draw
span at a cost of 100000, the District and
federal authorities have decided to build
a high span out of funds contained in
provement of the Anacostia river. The
cost will be $4,000.
No Interruption to Traffic.
The improvement is necessary in order
to permit dredges to proceed up the East
ern branch in connection with the Ana
costa development project. 1t is thought
the change can be made in the bridge
without interruption to traffic. d. E.

HOW BRITISH SUNK A GERMAN SUBMARINE Destroyer Caught Flotilla Operating Far From Base.
 Ran One Down

Edinburgh, November 7.-(SpeciaI TITS IS the way a German submarine was located and sunk by the British fleet off the coast of Scotland as the result of close watchfulness on the part of the British "bulldogs' of the ocean.
 For more than 10 years a specially se- iected fleet had been told to watch for hostile submarines. From the character of the vessel employed it was clear that the presence of submarines was more than suspected. Reports made to com nanding officers showed that the ap- Pearances Of these submarines above the surface were not too frequent Slowly put surely the warships gathered around the limited area in which it came to ue known German flotilla, working far rom It's base, was operating.
 It was discovered that they had been re- Wing on supply ships. the capture of which had practically crippled them They were almost helpless for want of fIei Thus. one of the vessels, whose appearance has frequently been rumored. was known to rise occasionally for air supplies or for the sight of supply ship. Three times she was reported to have fired torpedoes at coast patrol vessels without success.
 At last fast vessel of the patrol fleet. located the periscope of submarine at comparatively close quarters By smart handling she escaped a torpedo. The sub- marine was at once submerged But it was too late. With the swiftness of a mound on the scent. cordon of fast yes- seis bore down upon her. The process of dislodging their fox followed with keen zest
 About midnight the enemy was caught ana the crash of gunnery broke upon the stiffness of the midnight air. In quicker time than 1t can be written another of Germany's vigilant submarines went to the bottom. -

London, October 17.-(SpeciaD-There is likely to be big row about the way in which the censorship was evaded in con- nection with the sending of British rein furcements to Antwerp. The newspapers were expressly forbidden to make any mention of the operations there and es- pecially of the landing of British forces and the order was Loyalty obeyed by all but one. The paper belongs to a proprie- tor who has been denouncing the censor ship loudly and who was threatened with the suppression of his papers some time ago. He got round the prohibition in
 most ingenious way, by describing the ar ArivaI of .reinforcements." The nationali-
 ty of these troops was not mentioned,
 but it was stated that they marched into the city to the music of fife band. Now
 the only troops which march to the music of the fife are British, and this state- ment was particularly objectionable be- cause whils it conveyed nothing to the great majority of the papers readers it

is not a single instance of any member of the British force being recommended for the Victoria cross. This is in marked contrast to the Boer war, when crosses were won on the very first day. Sol- diers who have returned from the war cannot advance any explanation that is entirely satisfactory. Some say that 1t is because the deeds performed are such as the average British soldier considers to be no more than his duty, but this applies with equal force to the Boer war.
 There is nc doubt that many deeds of heroism equal to anything that have been rewarded with the Victoria cross in the rast have been performed on the field of battle and the only explanation of the ab- sence of recognition is that owing to the wider area of the war and the larger proportion of men engaged, 1t Is much more difficult for men to catch the com mander's eye, and so secure the neces- sary recommendation for the cross
 The official heads of the British army are aware that many acts of heroism will be overlooked in this way. and they
