railroad claims they should and do. He
started from a mark in the track and thus
obtained his lines. His cross examination
was finished this morning.
David Williams of St Johnsbury, an
other civil engineer, showed plan he hac
made and he, too, had been unable to at
tain the desired result by starting from
the northwest corner of the bridge abut

GOTH VICTIM OF THE WEEK.
List of Vessels Sunk by Germans In
cludes Steamer Gulfight.

The Lusitania is the goth vessel
sunk Or damaged in the first week of
May in the German war zone about the
British Isles.
Most of these vessels were torpedoed
by German submarines, although in
some cases it has not been established
whether the damage was inflicted by
mines CIR submarines.
In the last fortnight German sub
marines were more active than ever
before. Sixteen of the % vessels were
British trawlers. There were four
British and one French merchantmen
in the list.
The others were vessels of neutral
nations One of them was the Amer
lean steamer Gulfight, which was tor
pedoed off Scilly Islands May l, with
the loss of three lives. There We're

zone was decreed on Feb. 4, to take
effect on Feb. IS. The German govern

including etall the waters surrounding

Lusitania, therefore, was in the war
zone when sunk.
In the war zone decree the German
government announced its intention
q to endeavor to destroy every mer-
chant ship found in this area of war, =
stating that this action had been made
necessary by the conduct of Great Brit
ain in carrying on "a mercantile war
fare against Germany in way that
defied all the principles of interna-
tional law. -
The German admiralty is reported TO
have sent newly constructed subma-
rines of large size and high speed for
the present campaign. Few details arr
available as to the specifications OF
these vessels.
It is said they are able to carry sup
plies for three months, enabling them
to remain out for that length of time
without putting into a port or having
recourse to a parent ship.
The U-28, one of the powerful Ger
man submarines, which sank the Brit
| ish steamer Falaba off st. George I
Channel March IS, with the loss of IL
lives, was equipped with four torpedo
tubes, two 14-pound disappearing guns
and two one-pounders. The Lusitania
with her speed of % knots, probably
was several knots faster than the sub
marine which sunk her.

BOYCOTT MAIL SERVICE
Muscatine Farmers Adopt Unusual
Means to Show Disqualification With
Adoption Of Motor Delivery Service
on Rural Routes.

Special to Times Republican.
Muscatine, Oct. A boycott of the
United States mail service is the un-
usual recourse which Muscatine county
farmers are taking as result of the
adoption of a motor delivery which has
cut the mileage down some twenty
miles or more.
The innovation, which was started on
Oct. /, has not been favorably re-
ceived by many rural residents who
fear an inefficient service and it's
launching was anything but suspicious.
The adoption of the automobile and
the consolidation Of the old Cones
vile route and Nos. and out of
Nichols led up to the present pro-
test
The farmers declare that the new
motor route offers no prospect of a
service as satisfactory as the old and a
belief that in wet and rainy weather
an even poorer service will result has
prompted the farmers to unite in their
opposition to the change. The farmers
have agreed to send all matter thru
the Nichols office no matter what the
Inconvenience may he and the motor
carrier travels his route collecting no

American Securities in Europe.
The report discusses the situation
in Europe with reference to American
securities as follows: by averaging
the various authoritative estimates we
arrived a: the conclusion that Europe
holds perhaps more than S3.Ooo.-
600. 900 worth Of American securities.
Since the war began considerable
quantities of our securities have been
realized on and it is altogether likely
that the major portion of those now
held in Europe are held for permanent
Investment and will not be thrown on
the market in any considerable guam
titles. 1t is however. wise on our part
to build up an offset against this item
so that our markets can never be de-
moralzed by sudden unloading on
the part Of European holders of our
securities. We are building up this
onset now at the rate of nearly ST.
SOC. 0oo. 600 a year in favorable trade
balance because Of our excess of ex-
ports and If the proposed loan of
$500. 900 900 to 81 900 100000 to the al
lied powers is made. and indications
are now that It will he. this item will
further offset against our indebted
