EXPECTS
BUILDING ACTIVITY
TO INCREASE SOON

With the re-occupation of the NJ.
Rumely buildings by the United Re.
frigerators company and the Hood
Wholesale firm, improvement in build.
ing conditions will be noted in the
next year and all business will be
stimulated. This forecast was out.
lined today by J. F. Hasecoster, archi'
tect.
Although vacation months are the
slack period in the building trades, Mr..
Hasecoster indicated that outlook for
considerable activity during the com
ing year was good. Indications are
that number of new residences,
some OF them quite pretentious, will
be constructed. The prospective build
ers are now consulting architects.
Construction of new residences is
necessary as various surveys Of the
situation made by the post office and
private concerns show very few va
cant houses in the city.
Operation of the Hood company and
the Refrigerator factory will bring
new families to the city This will
stimulate business and In turn react
upon the building trades.
So far this year has been normal
in the number and cost of new build
ings erected.

AS for tea, the German people are
asked to remember that, as long as
they were still buying tea, they were

BREEDERS TO FIGHT
new STALLION LAW

Through the Breeders Protective
Association of Indiana, with headquar-
tiers in Portland, the state stallion en-
rollment" law is to receive attention
which it is hoped by those interested
will result in the repeal of the law.
The plan now is to organize in each
county, local organizations to work in
conjunction with the state body and
through members of the organization
to make general fight on the act. I'm
der the law all stations must be en-
rolled and licensed after inspection
Any blemishes or defects must be
stated in advertisements and this,
horsemen say, may result in a grade
stallion with no blemishes obtaining a
higher standing than a thoroughbred

DEUTSCHLAND
Continued From Page one.)

the same waiting game that was in
effect at Baltimore.
The sympathies of the majority OF
people here is with the Deutschland
because of the odds against her and
there has been a number of wagers
that she will successfully elude the
watching patrol.
There is hardly enough water at the
three mile limit for the Deutschland
to submerge without danger, but the
charts show plenty of water just
beyond the limit and it will be a very
easy task for the submarines to slip
out through the capes almost COM
pletely awash and then to submerge
and take the course which has been
decided on in advance.
The neutrality of the United States
was very much in evidence outside OF
the capes. The destroyers were
steaming back and forth outside Of
the three mile limit. The North Caro-
lima drifted about with little power.
Under the guns of Fort Monroe.
Shortly after IL o'clock, German rep
resentatives here began an effort to
get into touch with the Timmons. At
that time the exact whereabouts OF
the Deutschland was something of a
mystery.
The last actual report concerning
her came from the Windmill point,
1t said that the Deutschland had clear
ed the light house south Of Tangier
island and west Of Watts island short
ly after 9 o'clock this morning. At
that hour the submarine and her ten
der were simply loafing along and
were hugging the eastern shore side
of the channel.
An incoming tramp at noon report
ed that the allied patrol was not in
sight off the cape. 1t is believed that
they have perfected some system OF
signalling whereby they will be ap.
praised of the approach Of the sub
marine and that they do not intend
taking any chance of being ordered
out to sea by the American neutrality
patrol until after their prey actually
is within sighting distance of the cape.
A telephone message from Old Point
Comfort at IL o'clock stated that a
number of private launches were wait
ing there to escort the Deutschland in
to Newport should she show up there.
Inasmuch as only Captain koenig
actually knows what the submarine
will do one mans guess was as good
as another.
