Berlin. Sept. 7-The Vossische Zei- ,cussion of the situation as regards Germany and the United States, under the heading The Agreement with America"
 After impliedly expressing dissatis- faction at the message conveyed by Ambassador Won Bernstorff to the Washington authorities, it asserts:
 "Complete unaninity reigns in Ger many in the wish to maintain unal tered peace between Berlin and Wash ington. Ambassador von Bernstorff s explanation must not be taken either as an admission of any guilt in past procedures or as an indication of fear or weakness.
 "It must be reiterated that the tor pedoing of the Lusitania, no matter how lamentable from a humanitarian standpoint, left no stain upon Ger many's honor. The same holds true for the Arabic. If it ever becomes possible to clearup this case through urobiectionable evidence 1t will be shown that the captain of the Arabic himself was guilty of his fate and that of his passengers.
 Submarine Warfare to Go On.
 "It must also be specifically pointed out that submarine warfare against merchant vessels will now, as former ly-and. it is to be hoped, with unre- mitting vigor-be carried on. There can be no talk of any result for Great Britain. British merchant ma rine losses will not be lessened in the future. Great Britain must not per- init herself to hope she may succeed in the future through sordid manipu- lations in making use of German good nature.
 "Our admissions to America have restrictions. Our agreement counts only in case British passenger steam CTS do not try to harm our submarines If Great Britain in the future believes if will be possible to deal lightly with the lives of American citizens she will

Not having received any pay in the trfc lights on Pennington road George F. Atwater, superintendent of the United Electric Light and Water corapany- of New Britain issued orders to remove the bulbs, leaving the thor oughfare in Stygian darkness for. the past two nights. MT. Atwater this morning said that the lights would not be replaced until the money is paid up tc date.
 The money for the lights has been secured in the past by means of so- liciting among the neighbors residing On Ear,nington road. Edward Mott, who formerly resided on Pennington road but who recently disposed of his Y property, has for the past three years solicited the funds. He holds a five years contract with the company for l%ahe lights.
 As has been the usual custom every ! year MT Mott went about soliciting for funds this year. He evidently did not receive sufficient amount to cov- CT the costs of the lights and it is said he returned the money to the don- ors. A number of residents expressed great indignation when discussing the matter this morning. They said that Sthev had been totally ignorant that 2 the Electric Light company had not been paid and that the lights were removed. They said that they ha6 not been informed by MT. Mott thai he was unable to raise the required amount He ought to have informed the people that the lights were to DC taken down. said one public spirited !A citizen.

have to bear the consequences as pe- fore Through our step we nave proved to Americans-if it were nec- essary-in the most loyal way, now highly we value the relations existing between them and us. It is surely known in leading circles in the Oni1eo States that even a declaration or war by America against Germany could no longer do real harm to the German cause.
 Peace Moves Rejected.
 "The British press is attempting to alter the case to make it appear that G,rmany's move was made with an | intention to win the American presl- dent as a peace agent. We do not know whether President Wilson has this thought. Likewise we cannot prevent the pope, through Cardlnai 1 Gibbons, from expressing ms peace 1 desires to the president.
 We highly respect the humanitar- ian basis of this, but we. would not like to leave any uncertainty concerning ths fact that Germany does not even consider concluding peace through any agent whatever. He who wants peace with us may come to us him. self Peace may be discussed, accord ing to the present outlook only in di- rect negotiations"
 The Vossische Zeitung discusses the peace rumors and says Great Britain sees it's salvation in such a move be- cause tits action in the Dardanelles has broken down, the day of reckon ing in Egypt is drawing appreciably nearer. universal conscription has fal- len by the wayside the labor problem is becoming critical the conditions In Ireland defy description"
 Britain Stands Apart.
 The Tagliche Rundschau says:
 "In opposition to the brilliant re- suits of our arms and our surely vic torious position stands the depressing fact that in this week we have re- 1 stricted our most promising weapon against tht British, our chief enemy 1 the submarine-by ,adhering to tie 1 wishes of the American executlNe, President Wilson. "In Great Britain and in America our compliance is accepted with sat- isfa ction and has lowered the price ol | grain. American papers also say that ! Great Britain now can hold out TOT another year of war;. which is com prehensible when one considers that 5o4 ships with a tonnage of more than GOO 900 were destroyed by subma- rines.
 "As it is actually impossible, as president Wilson admitted in his note of last May, for a submarine to search 1 merchant or passenger vessel at sea and verify it's papers the German con oaesions denote a comprehensive re- striction of submarine warfare, deter-
 mined upon by the war leaders TOT political reasons.
