Washington, Aug. 30.-Press dis
patches from Berlin saying Germany
had decided on a policy in the Arabic
case in accord with the recent state
ment of the imperial chancellor were
noted with satisfaction today in official
circles here.
The chancellor said if it developed
that German submarine commander
had gone beyond his instructions, Ger
many would give complete satisfaction
to the United States. Formal assur-
ance to that effect was given the state
department last week by Count Won
Bernstorff, the German ambassador, on
instructions already had informed Sec
retary Lansing that German sub-ma-
rines had been ordered to torpedo no
more peaceful merchantmen without
warning.
| So far as officials here know, the
submarine commander who attacked
the Arabic has not yet reported to Ber-
lin. Until this report has been await
ed for reasonable time, the Wash
! ington government does not expect the
promised formal communication from
the imperial government.

Materials Compared.

One basis for comparison between
tbe natural and manufactured prod

payed from Florida avenue to Morris
street with natural asphalt In 1903 1t
was paved from Morris street to Co
lumbia road with manufactured sub
stance. The section from Florida ave-
nue. to Morris street is still In good
condition, but the remaining portion
which was paved with manufactured
asphalt is said to be in such need OF
repair that it soon will be necessary to
repave 1t.
it is expected that as soon as the
Commissioners reach decision re-
garding the awarding of a contract ar
rangements Immediately will be made
for the paving Of 7th street from New
York avenue to Q street northwest.
This work alone will cost about $4,000
Effort will be made to get the paving
work started some time next month.

not later than the beginning of the

Hope to Set Example.

District officials hope that the ex-
ample the LOCAL government is setting
in instituting a war on flies will be fol-
lowed by other municipalities, and that
it will stimulate the efforts of indi-
vidual citizens toward abolishing the
germ pests.
Not only will the District govern
ment keep The Star traps in operation
all summer. but the health department
will send out inspectors on request to
ascertain what conditions are RESPONSE
BILE for the existence of unusual num-
bers of flies in certain localities 1t is
hoped that in this way many fy-breed-
ing sources can be discovered and abol-
ished.
