COVETED DELIVERY OF MAILS FINALLY
 HITS GURDON ST.
Residents of Neglected Thor oughfare Get Together
 With Good Results.

The residents of Gurdon street for a. long time have been wanting the city mail delivery service extended to them but the post office department said:
 No, your sidewalks are not in good condition and there are several vacant lots where there are no walks at all. We do not allow our mail carriers to cover such streets. You must repair your sidewalks if you want city de- livery
 The people of the street got their heads together and repaired their own walks. cut slots in their doors, and straightened out too, some numbers which had been irregular but the own CTS of the vacant lots refused to do anything with the walks before them. The residents storTned and pleaded but the vacant lot owners were obdurate. The mail service would not benefit their lots and they did not eares
 Finally, seeing their hope frustrated because of the greed of two or three people, the residents of the street thought of a solution of the problem. Working together. they carted load af- ter load of cinders to these lots and laid down a. cfnder sidewalk so well made and soft to walk upon that no carrier of the post office department Tof the United States, no matter how fastidious he might be. could complain of it.
 Today saw the realization or thelr hopes for the mail man made his first trip on Gurdon street. this morning. 1t is understood that there are number of places about the city where the peo- pie are being deprived of city mail service because the owners of vacant lots refuse to provide adequate side- walks Residents of these streets may take a, hint from the energetic people of Gurdon street
 The city delivery was also extended this morning from 1,o52 Laurel avenue to 1,130 of that street.

GERMANY, DELAYING ANSWER, AWAITS NEW NOTE OF U. s.
 TO ENGLAND ON SHIPPING
Tone of Reply Not To Be Brusque Says Berlin United States Puts Firm Demands Before British Govern ment-Vienna and London Are Divided in Opinions On Iusitania Note
2s-severaI of the

London, July 26-SeveraI of the morning papers declare they are un- able to understand President Wilson s reference in the latest note to Ger many to events of the last two months which have proved that it is possible to conduct submarine opera ttons in accordance with accepted principles of warfare. The papers argue there has been on change of German methods in this resp pect.
 The. naval correspondent of the Times asserts the blockade of the past two months does not bear out the view of President Wilson and points out that the few intervals of decreased activity always has been followed by renewed activity resl1 lting in the sinking without warning and with the loss of life both of British and neu- tral vessels. He says there is not the slightest indication that German command ders have changed their meth ods and that President Wilson s words, therefore, taken in their or dinary acceptance. tcannot be justi= fed
 The Hines says it is possible Presi- dent Wilson may have had from the Brttish government some, information which is withheld from the public but argues that, so far as the facts have been revealed there is no ground for supposfng any changes have been been made in the instructions given German submarine commanders.

New York, July 26.-opening.-War stocks were in good demand early to- day and considerably higher prices were established. Aside from this group of issues the market was un- certain, and irregular. The widest movement was in Bethlehem Steel which was influenced by a report of it's proposed new combination of steel companies. In the railroad sectian Canadian Pacific, Lehigh Valley and St. Paul lost about 9. point each. Con- siderable heaviness was also shown by the various copper stocks. In the out side market sales we're made of cleo tric boat at 40, a rise of AS points over Saturdays close.
 NoOn-Thes early advances held well during most of the morning session, but news of the torpedoing of the Lee1anaw upset what promised to be a vigorous bull market. There. was a quick reverse, particularly among the war stocks, which had established ad- vances ranging up to IA points in Bethlehem Steel. In the early rise railroad share were not helped by the bulge in the specialties. In fact, they, acted as though distribution were going on under clover of the strength. Bonds were irregu1ar.

Berlin, July 26.-There is every iE1di- cation that considerable time will elapse before the German government makes any attempt to answer the lat est American note on the sinking of the L4usitania. Should the United States protest to Great Britain in re- gard to the restrictions placed upon shipping, which it is reported here is now being formulated, be couched in firm terms it is considered possible the German reply will not be brusque-
 In the absence of evidence that the United States intends to force Great Britain to abandon the policy Ger many considers illegal, condemnation of President Wilson's note is univer- sal. Hope has not been abandoned, however, that the United States may intend to assaI vigorously Great Brit aims methods of controlling the sea. Until this points becomes clear the Berlin foreign office probably will mark time.
