New London, Conn, Nov. 1.-The
German submarine freighter Deutsch-

second trip from Bremen to the Unit

the journey in 81 days out of Bremen
and according to Capt. KKoenig, the
voyage was uneventful.
With two exceptions the crew of 25

who made the first voyage to Balti-

bers of the crew could be induced to
discuss the fate of the Brem, the
sister-craft of the Deutschland, which
is reported to have been captured or
sunk by the warships of the allied
governments.
The Deutschland carried a cargo of
rare medicines and dyes valued at
million dollars which will be unloaded

VERMONT SUMMER HOME SITES
List to Be Published from Secretary
of States Office.

OhaNC . OfhNNs
Several thousand inquiries having
been received at the Secretary Of
States Office during the past few
months regarding various phases of
the summer tourist business in Yer
mont, and the number of tourists Wis.,
iting this State in 1916 apparently
having been larger than in any pre-
cedng year. the time seems opportune
to devote more attention to the ad-
yantages Vermont offers as an ideal
location for summer homes. The three
principal attractions which the State
offers in this respect are:
Beauty and variety OF scenery.
Nearness to large centers of pOpula-
ton,
Moderate prices for suitable sites.
In order to reach large number Of
persons who may desire to purchase
sites for summer homes, the State
Publicity Bureau proposes to publish
for free distribution a list of small
farms and cottage sites for sale. and
any person owning such property in
Vermont and desiring to sell the same
may secure the insertion of an adyer-
tisement without charge in the pro-
posed book. by sending a description
of the property to Guy W. Bailey,
Secretary OF State. Essex Junction,
VT Where the site includes sufficient
land for a flower or vegetable garden,
or has available for use u good spring
of water. such fact should be stated
together with nearness TO roads and
to farms where supplies may be pur-
chased.
The most desirable sites usually are
those on the shore of lake or pond,
or locations on the slope OF hill or
mountain. affording an extensive out
look OF the latter class Vermont con
tains an unlimited number. and most
property Of this kind at the present
time brings to the owners very little
revenue.
The Publicity Bureau believes that
there exists an opportunity very large
ly to increase Vermont's wealth and
prosperity through a judicious devel-
opment of the summer home PROPOSE
lllOl. it luCd dppcdAS W many
persons employed in business and the
professions, and particularly to those
employed in educational pursuits who
have long vacations. If high prices
are charged for sites not now valuable
a great opportunity will be lost If
moderate prices are established waste
places will be developed, property
values will increase, new markets will
be opened and a generally desirable
class of people will become attached
to Vermont. Then people will become
good customers and many of them will
become good neighbors. Good morals
and good business alike demand that
wouldbe purchasers be treated in a
spirit Of friendliness and fair dealing.
Through the newspapers OF the State,
the department appeals to the people
of Vermont for their cooperation in
building up new and promising in
dustry. which has been Il source OF
large profit to some of the neighbor
ing commemorative

is THIS BENNINGTON?
Suspicion That Editor of Good
Roads" Has Been in Town.


Attention of a number of Bennng
ton residents has been called 10 a re-
cent editorial in the magazine Good
Roads" on the subject OF main nigh
ways in small towns and villages. The
writer does not name the New Ing
land town which he cites as an ex-
ample but Bennington people WAC
have read the article are possessed Of
the suspicion that the Editor of GOod
Roads has been visiting in town. Here
is the article. How does it strike you?
at would seem superfluous to call
attention to the fact that continuous
maintenance is as necessary for the
streets of the smaller cities and the
larger towns as ii is for country roads.
yet it is true that in some sections the
main country roads are in much better
condition than are the city and village
streets. Automobilsts are well aware
of this, for it is forced upon their no
tice every time they enter or leave
any settlement of sufficient size to be
intrusted with the care OF It's own
highways.
"a New England town which serves
admirably as an example of this con
dition was recently visited BY the
writer 1t is an ordinarily prosperous
community CT some eight or nine
thousand inhabitants it is ideally
situated in region of great natural
beauty; it has fine water power, al
unexcelled water supply, and many
other natural advantages. 1t is serve1
by two railroads and is the home of
several large manufacturing concerns.
1t has an active and growing organlZ-
alton of business men, and within the
last fifteen years has become an i'm
portant summer resort. 1t has sever
al unusually fine churches, good
schools, and a we'll equipped library.
Its Fire Department is efficient, its
streets are well lighted and there are
sidewalks on most of the principal
thoroughfares.
But the condition Of its streets is
indescribably bad. With the exception
of a short stretch of bituminous ma
cadam resurfacing on the main sire It,
there is hardly mile of even pass
ably good roadway in the town prop
Gis AlliOSb tNClS lOduWdg Is IL ouS-
cession of ruts and waves that make it
very uncomfortable to ride in any kind
of vehicle, even at a very slow speed.
The main street through which runs
a single track, Trail, street car line, is
about as bad as it could be and remain
passable. 1t is even rougher than the
other streets and as it has been oiled
apparently without preliminary
cleaning-it is sea of oily slime in
wet weather Unflattering as this de-
scription may seem, it is conservative
rather than overdrawn. And the town
would suffer little in comparison with
some OF its neighbors. +*"
Whatever the reason for the ap-
parent apathy of small town and city
officials, the results are deplorable.
Traffic should be as well accommodate
ed within communities as between
communities, and it is difficult to un-
derstand. why there should not be
enough civic pride among the citizens
of our smaller municipalities to re-
fuse to tolerate such street conditions
as exist in many small cities and
large towns"
