tory in which, among other
things, submarine engines can be
built in six days.
Confidential designs of new
foreign fighting craft have been
secured, containing features not
yet used by the United States.
Aeroplane engines have been
improved so that machine never
before constructed here can now
be built.
These concrete achievements
were placed before the Naval
Advisory Board at is meeting
in the Brooklyn Navy Yard to-
day. They represent the activi.
ties of members Of the board
since it's last session.
The meeting was an executive
one. Thomas A. Edison presid.-
ed. The latter presented to the
board plans for the new labora-
tory. The plans are complete in
every detail and if passed by
Congress will eventually mean

Can Go No further
Says German Official

Berlin, Feb. 5.-Dr. Alfred
Zimmerman, Under-Secretary
for Foreign Affairs, in an inter-
view, expressed the hope that
the new formula forwarded to
Ambassador Won Bernstorff
would offer a possible basis of
settlement. But he made no eff
fort to conceal gravity of the
situation and was most explicit
in his statements that Germany
had reached the extreme limit
of concessions, and under no
circumstances would concede the
illegality of her submarine cam
naign in the war area. DR..
Zimmerman said:
1.-THE Government is willing
to do everything in its power,
and has done everything in its
power, to meet American wish
es, but there are limits beyond
which even friendship snaps. /

course. We had thought the
submarine issue settled, and the

Much Good Has Been Done.
Only Body guard of the Devil Left.

The Sheriff-Imrie meeting
has developed into a great union
\swivial among the Belington
and much good is be-
Ing done. One Of the evidences
Is that of the number of profess
led Christian, showing their

The Sunday meetings were
largely attended. The mems

The afternoon was very inter-

bic, then this was followed up
LII thru the week with great in

Evangelist. She made a good
Impression and delivered an

Many conversions are re-
lorted, especially among the
Dung man and women, but there
j yet a few holding back-un-
