that the Deutschland is hitting it up
for its home port and that it's nearly
there. When left on the night of
Aug. the submarine was speeding
straight to sea. 1t merely disappeared
and ducked almost beneath the ships
of the allies. Because Of its dirty
green and white streaked hull It re-
sembled an ordinary ocean wave. II

Crew Show No Fear.
Regarding the crew Of the subma
rine Captain Coleman said he had
never seen men so happy at being
homeward bound.
There was not the slightest sign OF
fear among them" he said. "They
were plainly exllberant. They spoke
with the greatest praise Of the treat
ment they received in Baltimore and
asserted that they carried back with
them the most pleasant memories OF
their stay here. But they were glad
for one thing, to get awaX from the
heat and also to get on the final lap OF
the trip which will make them
famous"

Eldora, Aug 1.-THE first lap in the
legal battle between Iowa Falls electric
companies has been traversed. and the
courts here refused to enjoin the new
company from erecting lines and doing
business. ..
Judge E. N. McColl, Of Nevada, has
filed his findings in the case Of Charles
e. Raymond against the Iowa Falls
Electric Company and others. Suit was
brought by Raymond as owner Of the
old electric company against the new
company asking for an injunction on
the ground that the new concern had
constructed its lines so as to interfere
with the old company's lines, in that
they were parallel and that the thread
ing of the leads" was dangerous to
property and to the general public. The
new company set up as defense tina,
the franchise Under which the old COM
pany was doing business was null and
void and that the construction of new
lines was under the control and direc-
tion of electrical inspectors created and
employed by the city council Of Iowa
Falls.
Old Franchise Good.
The court finds that the franchise
under which the old company Is oper-
ating is valid and also sustains the
contention that the construction worl
of the new company creates a condition
dangerous to life and property, but tha
the power and control of construction
is so completely given over to munici.
palties by the state that the court hat

On that ground the court refused tc

The case involved the taking Of g

pany. or the new company. Is controlled
by the Dows-Reed syndicate of CedaI

Military writer's are unable tc

thorities were misled as to the prep

and hoped to make an impression or
the rebeHious Arabs.
