Favors Flat Roofs.

Mr.. Roth said that he believed
that the best roof is going to be
made by composition roofing on
a flat-topped building, and that
the peaked roofs will eventually
become fewer and fewer. He
said he believed these fiat ones
the cheapest and best roofs, and
he thought it might be good
plan to take the peaked roof off
the damaged brick buildings in
the old parts of the city and
make fiat roofs. One advantage
of fiat roofs with tarred or COM
position material is that they are
easy to repair. and any one may
go on such a roof with paper and
bucket of tar and mend a
break readily. However, Mr..
Roth said, he did not favor some
of the composition roof materi-
ais in a hot climate, especially il
they are put on a sloping roof.

Evidence Not Conclusive.

The piece of metal reached the Ameri-
can embassy in London through the
British admiralty, and there were am
davits declaring that the metal was
picked up on the deck of the vessel

close one made by the person VINO
actually picked it up on the deck OF the
Inflated vessel. .;
In view of the apparent lack OF posi-,
tive evidence that the piece OF metal
in question was actually picked up on
the vessel, Secretary Lansing said that
the incident was a closed one. How
ever, there is possibility that the de-
cision of the American naval oi1cers
will be sent to the Berlin government
as a matter of information only, the
German government having declared
following the disaster, that there We're
no German submarines in the vicinity
at the time and suggesting that the
sinking of the Hesperian might be due
to a mine.

Further representations to the Ger

by the United States, in the light of the
decision of the naval officers as to the
character of the piece of metal said to
have been taken from the deck OF the
Hesperian. This was made known by
Secretary Lansing last night. following
a thorough examination of the evidence
submitted by the British admiralty
with the piece of metal.
While the State Department has In
its possession a piece of metal which
the United States naval experts say
could not have come from anything
else than a torpedo, this government
is without absolute proof that the
metal was picked up from the deck OF
the steamer Hesperian before she sank
near Fastnet, presumably from the ex-
pIosion of a German torpedo against
her hull.

ADMIT AMERICANS
HAVE GRIEVANCE
London Papers Say Great Britain
Modified Rules Because Germany
Had Broken Them.
WILL USE 1BER1AN INCIDENT

LONDON. Aug. 4.-The comment
Of the London afternoon papers on
the correspondence between Walter
II. Page, the American ambassador,
and Sir Edward Grey, the British
foreign secretary, admits generally
that America and other neutrals have
grievance. but they insist. to use
the words Of the Westminster Ca
zette that Great Britain has been
compelled TO modify some of the &C
cepted rules because Germany has
deliberately broken these rules"
Continuing the Westminster Gazette
SAYS:
For the moment we would do well to
recognize that on a strict Interpretation
Of international law. neutrals have
! grievance upon which they are entitled
/ to insist, but this grievance arises in the
main from the peculiar use Germany has
chosen to make OF the submarine in its
war upon merchantmen, both enemy and
neutral"
This same newspaper I'm reference to the
sinking OF the British steamer Iberian,
in which an American lost his life. notes
the silence OF the American press on this
incident. Then It says:
The German answer to the American
note has been most direct. II has taken
the practical form of the killing without
warning of American seamen. Apparently,
II the American press has its way, no
notice is to be taken OF this fact This
impression OF the real feeling of the
United States in this matter will be no
Gore lost upon Germany than upon this
! country"
The Evening Standard, in an editorial,
says:
THE notes exchanged show that the
difference between Great Britain and the
United States although they are by no
means irreconciliable."
1t points out that Sir Edward Grey UNI
lreservedly accepted the main American
contention that International law must
prevail over national law. Continuing, II
argues that the order in council makes
national law conform fully to interna-
tional requirements, but If the United
States does not accept this view, then Sir
Edward Grey comedies that Great Britain
will make no objection to an appeal e
an international tribunal. This latter is
a very strong point, the Standard sets
forth. insomuch as the United States has
elected to stand on international prin.
ciple.

There has been no reduction In the
Cadillac price this year and the follow

OF the Cadillac company of Omaha ana
w. C. Leland. general manager OF the
Cadillac company Of Detroit.
To Increase Price.
Concerning the increase In price OF
slO6 on the open body styles, In the
face Of the general tendency toward
lower prices on the part OF most max
ers, General Manager w. c. Leland
said;
I'VE simply could not continue to pro
| duce a car OF the Cadillac type and quail
| ity at the old price without doing so at
| a loss; and don't think anyone expects
| us to do that.
THE general tendency OF other max
/ ers toward reductions does not partieu'
larry interest US.
Eve shall continue 90 use the best
materials we can obtain. which are best
adapted for their respective uses. taken
aa a whole, these do not cost any less
than they have been costing. On tht
contrary, we are paying more for GER
tain materials now than In the past.
Everybody In the manufacturing
business knows that skilled mechanics
cannot be had for less money today thai

rather the reverse. And the best skilled
workmen are the kind we use.
Price Was Too Low.
''The price OF our Eight was set To-
low In the beginning. AS It was neees
sary to announce the price at the tim
the car was announced. and as there ha
been no manufacturing experience wit
a car OF this type. the cost Of producuo
could only be estimated.
In view OF certain conditions whie
arose after the car and the price hs
been announced. it proved that the est
mate was too low.
; I'VE might have lessened the cost
