Bremen, August 24-The German
super-submersible Deutschland eluded
the vigilance of at least eight British
warships and the whole American
fleet of fishing schooners in the en-
ploy Of the allies when she left the
Virginia capes on the night Of August
Q. Passing out Of the eapes the
Deutschland encountered a great num-
Der of schooners which had dropped
nets ostensibly to fish. The real pur-
pose, Captain Koenig said today, was
to make soundings for the Deutsch-
land, aiming to signal the allied war
ships when the submarine should
plunge through the nets. The war
ships made no attempt to approach
within the three mile limit During
the whole Of the journey Of 42OO miles
the Deutschland snbmarined only 10
miles. A heavy fog on the English
coast delayed the submarine several
days.
Two-thirds Of the population Of Bra-
men turned out today to greet the sub
mariners.

cision would be reversed by the SUI
preme court OF the United States and

THE state supreme court indicates
in the opinion that an action on the
construction bonds given the city by
the contractor would lie for damages
by reason Of any failure to construct
the pavement according to the plans
and specifications In the trial OF the
case it was shown that the pavement
is not what the contract called for the
jury and the trial court found this fact,
and we may advise the people to re-
quest the city to sue on tho contrac-
tors bond for damages.
There is some question as to wheth.
er penalties accruing pending the liti-
cation can be collected. Tho penalty
is for a failure to pay the assessment
wen due. If the validity OF the as
sessment is in litigation it would hard.
ly be equitable to require payment OF
during that time.
1T will be our purpose to prevent
the collection Of these penalties if pos
sible, or we may ask the city to remit
such penalties if we conclude Il has
to do so.n
