not. The fifth ward alderman de-
clared that Mr.. Wilson knew the
status of the bids before the meet
ing convened and had no business in
airing it when he did.
At that juncture, Mr.. Ramsay
asked for the name of the city's le-
gal advisors in the matter Mr..
Clark said he did not think that was
a fair question, whereupon Mr..
Lane laughed. Alderman-at-Large
Weaver said he could see no reason
for not giving the name and he stat
ed the attorneys were Caldwell,
Masslich & Reed, of New York city.
Mr.. Lane stated that the object in
ascertaining the name was simply to
enable Mr.. Ramsay to lay some legal
points for the attorneys to aid them
in reaching a conclusion.
Mr.. Wilson said that some refer
ence had been made to shoemakers
building houses at a previous meet
ing. He desired to learn from the
street committee how such state
ments could consistently be made
when it was constantly engaging men
as inspectors for sewers and other
street improvements who knew prac-
tically nothing about the work. Mr..
Clark said such inspectors were
simply fgureheads; that they were
paid So a day, and 1t would be i'm
possible to procure mason or other
skilled mechanic at that rate of pay
to inspect the work. Besides, he de-
clared, the city engineer looked af-
ter street jobs. Mr.. Wilson stated
in turn that no experts were needed
as the work was usually common
labor. Concluding, Mr.. Wilson ask
ed why che and the engineer" had
been called off job. He stated with
bitterness, "If the contract was not
done right, nobody would call me off,
l tell you No reply was made.
At the end of the discussion Mr..
Ramsay informed the aldermen that
any legal tangIe the city might be-
come involved in as the result of
making the award to him would not
result in incurrence of any special
counsel fee upon the city, as he
would supply the necessary legal
talent at his own expense.

British See Victory For Wilson.

bFltlSH oet SlttOIA Tux W hSOh.
Special by Unitel Press Wire
London, August 28-President
Wilson has not only struck great
blow for peace, but has won diplo-
matte victory of historic Importance
in inducing Germany to modify her
submarine methods, the Daily News
declared in a striking editorial to-
day.
Both the News and Standard ac-
cepted the view that Germany is sin
cere is her latest representation to
Washington and intends not only TO
disavow the Arabic attack, but to
promise that no more passenger car
rying ships will be torpedoed.
at is not, of course, great
achievement in itself for powerful
government to extract from still
nominally friendly people an assur-
ance that they will not murder any
more of it's subjects" said the News,
''but it is a considerable feat to have
broken at least the brutal self-suffer-
ing which it is claimed in Germany
can be the only law by which the &C
tion Of the government and people
could be guided.
There is not the slightest reasons
to suppose that DR.. Won Bethmann-
Hollweg sanctioned this attack upon
the Arabic or desired to further
strain the relations with America.
The sinking of the Arabic may be as
sumed to have been the trick of his
opponents, the Tirpitzites, planned
as much to embarrass him as to drive
America to action"
The News says that possibly the
submarine that sunk the Arabic was
later sank by British warships and
for this reason it is easy for Ger
many to disavow the act of the L
boats commander.

Petrograd, August 2S-The gen.
eral staff today issued an official
denial of German claims that the
fortress of Brest Litovsk was storm

troops. Brest Litovsk was evacuated
by Russians because it was consid-
cred inadvisable to pen up within
its walls a garrison of 1000 men.
Valuable supplies were first removed,
then the forts on the left bank of the
Bug held off the enemy until the
main garrison rejoined the field
army. The fortress was then sur
rendered to the enemy, the princi-

The advance OF the Russian tenth

ther to the northward. This was done
to- avoid a repetition of tho Russian
defeat in the MazuI'ian lake district.
