'sUBhARINEt RAMS TUG
Deutschland Cuts Boat in Two and
browns Five of Her Crew Early
Today.

New London, Nov. II An at
tempted dash to sea by the German
merchant submarine Deutschland
ended early today in a collision be-
tween the uper-submerSible and an
escorting tug in which Captain Cur
ney and four members Of the tugs
crew were drowned.
The Deutschland, bound for Bre-
men, put back to port immediately
after the collision and by o'clock
this morning was again wrapped into
her pier. She once more shielded by
the liner Willehad, her mother ship
and the big steel nc- was swung .ntc
place to further guard her.
Work was Immediately begun by
a small army of workmen to learn the
extent of the submersible's damage
as a result of her second collision DUR
ing the present trip. She smashed
into pier when she made hcr start
from Bremen. and was held up ten
days for repairs.
The collision this morning occurred
in the treacherouS stretch of water
between Fishers and Little Gull is
lands, known as The Race. The water
is $50 feet deep. A strong current.
sucked landward and seaward through
the narrow stretch at the mouth of
Long Island Sound, makes it one
OF the danger points in that vicinity.
The tug T. A. Scott, jr., is said
TO have attempted to cross the
Deutchland's bows while the Scott
boats and the tug Cassie, acting as
rear guard for the submarine. were
steaming along at twelve knots an
hour.
There was splitting crash as a
great hole was torn in tho SCOTS
side. She broke in two and sank
within three minutes: The crew had
10 chance to reach the lifeboats.
Captain Gurney, in the wheel house.
lis believed to fhave been crushed to
death.
The four sailors who went down
with Gurney were all below deck,
trapped like rats.
Captain Hinscf. of the Eastern
Forwarding Company. which owns
the Deutschland, was aboard the
Scott, and was thrown into the water.
Sailors, from the Deutschland leapcd
overheard and dragged him on the
submersible. He was nearly dead
from shock ard cold.
Since the Deutschland came back
here Inder her own steam, it is not
believed she sustained any serious
damage. Hurried examination led
Eastern Forwarding Company officials
to believe size would be ready for
sea again IN few days ut the most.
The Deutschland was running on
the surface ut the time Of the ac:I-
dent. While there was no heavy sea,
the current. according to the Cas-
sizes crew. was unusually strong.
Because of this and the inky dark
ness, the DeutSchland's lookout did
not see the Scott quick enough. to
sound an alarm.
All lights that had not been. extin-
guished were shaded in order to make
escape for the Deutschland easier
This added to the difficulty in keep
ing the distance between the boats.
The Race is about five miles due
south of the Thames mouth.

EXPECT MORE CROWDING
IN D. C. PUBLIC SCHOOL S
officials Anticipate Great Pressure,
Particularly in Higher

More overcrowding of the Districts
public schools is anticipated with the
beginning of the next half-year, Feb
ruary I. Many of the schools already
are severely handicapped ana en-
barrassed by extreme overcrowding.
Ii Is probable that the greatest pres

as fewer children enter the grade
schools in proportion to the number
leaving than go from the grades to
the high schools in proportion to the
number graduating there.
Central High and Mckinley Manual

present information indicates that

icy School. however. has no such re-
dress, unless. perhaps. the old Central
is used sor an overflow building.
Certain points in the grade schools
are also expected TO be crowded Every
effort Is being made to determine where
the crowding is likely to be greatest
and where the surplus" children NAV
be placed. 1t is considered likely that
the grade schools will suffer more in

ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT
In Idaho, it is said, a Democratic
presidential elector has died since his
name was placed upon the ballot.
This means that the elector receiv-
ing the next highest vote will be
given credentials to the electoral col
lege. Of course, he is a Republican,
and may be expected to cast his vote
for Mr.. Hughes. The same thing oc-
CURED in Missouri, only in that case
the deceased elector was a Repubh-
can who was defeated. It might have
been otherwise, and two electoral
votes given the Republican candidate
to which he was by no means en-
titled.
In a close election, such as this
one, two votes might easily turn the
tide and elect a president.
Our system of electing presidents
needs a revision. While based upon
sound premises and while, thus far,
it has happened that no great harm
has come of it, the country has out
grown it. Twice in history presi-
dents have been inaugurated who
were not the choice of a majority Of
the people.
There is no good reason why the
election of the chief official of this
great nation should be entrusted to-
Intermediates who are in no manner,
legally bound to vote as instructed
by their constituents. There are no
obstacles, that cannot be surmount-
