Sent to Bottom by Mines or
German Submarines.
MAKES A TOTAL OF Ten
Half Score Vessels Aggregate Loss
TO Great Britain Since Germzny's
War Zone Decree Took Enect-One
Life Lost in Latest Marine Disasters.

London. Feb. 26.-Two more Eng.
lish vessels have been sunk off the
English coast either by mines or
%torpedoes from submarines. These
latest losses make a total of ten Brit
ish boats sent to the bottom In Eng
lish waters since Germany's war zone
decree went into effect a week ago
The last two boats sunk are the
steamer Deptford and the coaster
Western Coast. The former was lost
at a point I'm the North sea off Scar
borough. The latter went down in
the English channel off Beachy Head.
The crew of the Western Coast was
landed at Portsmouth. One sailor
lost his life when the Deptford was
sunk, but fifteen members of the
crew landed safely at South Shields.
In neither case is it known whether
a mine or submarine was responsible
for the catastrophe. The engineer OF
the Deptford says he was on duty in
the stokehold at the time the explo-
sive In the torpedo head or in the
mine rent the Deptford In twain. He
says he saw a fash of blue flames
shoot up from the bottom OF the ship
and through the deck.
Stunned by the Explosion.
The force of the explosion threw
him down violently and stunned him.
He managed to reach tn deck, how
ever, as the vessel wah seeling and
just as the lifeboat was being launch
eo. II raj the carpenter of the
D%eptford who lost his life.
After hours in an open, leaking
boat in a snow storm, which caused
them to suffer acutely, the men say,
they signaled a steamer, but no
notice was taken OF their appeal.
Later, however, they encountered the
steamer Fulgens, which picked them
up and brought them into South
Shields.
Some members of the crew say
they saw the wake of a submarine
after the Deptford was struck.
The Deptford was a small boat,
20 feet long, with a displacement OF
], 20S tons.
Extension of the German subma-
rine campaign is indicated in a dis
patch from Geneva which says three
new German submarines arrived by
railroad at Pola (the chief naval sta
ton of Austria-H Hungary. according
to a telegram to the Tribune, and
will soon begin operations not only
In the Adriatic but in the Mediter-
r6nean.

Unirnproved Real Estate
Burden, Says Mrs. Henderson

Editor of The Washington Herald:
If Mr.. Glover pleaded for mercy on
account of excessive assessments on
his large holdings, !. for one, can
readily understand it, although our
family has never combatted bills of
any sort from the District.
Washington is not 4 business town
and improvements in the way of
handsome residences. creditable archi-
tecturally to the Capital. are extreme
ly slow. How many private resi-
dences of commanding beauty are
there built at the Capital each year
and are they not often for various
reasons for sale afterward? The
fight for the architectural beauty of
the Capital is still on.
There are a few broad residential
avenues at Washington that should
compare with famous residential ave
nues at national capitals all over the
world Unless some few people can
afford TO hold large unimprOved prop
critics for frst-class architectural
purposes only. these sections go like
Mushrooms into rows of two-story
buildings or tenement-looking apart
ment houses, hideous in architectural
effects and ruinCus to future high
standards. Mr.. Glover has done a
distinct service to the District in
holding on to his large properties
while hoping and waiting for first
class improvements to reach him.
Mr.. AIonzo Bliss is another benefac-
tor of the kind.
People are fond of calling such
persons real estate spectators. with
out knowing that real estate investors
cannot afford to purchase property at
over 81 a foot and hold on to it for
over two or three years.
AS an example 1 will say that our
The Washington herald. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1906-1939, 1915-10-30

rental for handsome buildings last
year only paid S44 in excess of our
tax bill for Sixteenth street holdings
alone, while rentals for wooden shan
ties pay from 20 to 80 per cent.
Take for instance a lot we pur-
chased on Sixteenth street below L.
in 1912. at S2.5O a foot. The interest
of money invested and assessments
would make the valuation of the lot
today 1886 per foot. A lot on corner
of Sixteenth street and New Hamp-
shire avenue and U street cost $4,000
twenty-four years ago. The present
cost today is S23.5OO or over SO a foot.
Any real estate unimproved invest
ments in Washington, il held for any
length of time, are a distinct burden.
and in the interest of the beauty of
future Washington the government
ought to assist patriotic citizens who
are anxious and willing to work for
the beauty of the Capital.

Nearly all cities that had municipal
Christmas trees in 1914 are going to have
them again this year. Barre is in the
list of new ones to attempt this out of

the tree will be erected in City park,
where il will have very conspicuous
location. The woods will have 10 yield
one of the biggest and stateliest of its
products for the occasion. Representa-
tives of one of the committees have al
ready started scouting for the desired
one. The task of erecting and decorat-
ing it win prove an interesting one.
With the many hundreds of incandes

| A Barre man who has penchant for
comparisons repeats an interesting con
versation with a resident Of Maidstone, in
the northeastern part Of Vermont, where
number of local sportsmen maintain a
hunting and fishing lodge. Asked as to
the cost per capita of educating children
in Maidstone, the man from that town
smothered a slight ehuckle and informed
his interviewer that the only child of
school age in the town limits was his own
daughter, whose expenses incurred in at
tending school in a neighboring New
Hampshire settlement were borne by the
town. When he was informed that in
Barre there are upward of 20 teachers on
the payroll, the Maidstone mans reioind-
er developed the information that Maid
stone and three towns adjoining could
not produce 20 children of school age.
The four towns with a school population
estimated TO be less than 20 are Maid
stone, Guildhall, CRANKY aud Brunswick.
According to the last census. the four
towns have combined population Of 797.
