gales ragged far overhead, was one
OF the many thrilling incidents OF the
German submarine merchant ship

away while we were submerged"
said the willy submarine commander.
We Would play the phonograph. and
We had wine--yes, plenty Of wine"
Koenig said he knows nothing
about the Bremen, except that she
sailed August 26 with a sixty-day
food supply.

drugs" he said. There is some
anthityron. We had planned to
bring some infantile paralysis serum.

I'VE left Bremen October 10, in a
raging northwest gale. went through
the North sea and passed the waters
between the Shetland and Orkney Is
lands. After that We headed as
straight as possible for New London.
Yes. we saw many ships-about the
same number as on our first trip.
Some we went around--others we
dove under. We travelled less than
125 miles submerged.
1--WE saw the grim British warships
in the North sea and we saw seven
ships between here and Nantucket.
We went through very heavy
gales and rough seas, but did not
stand on our heads. The longest
time we were submerged was seven
hours. Bven at rs fathoms we could
feel the roll Of the waves"
The Deutschland's commander
said he intercepted one message from
the Nauen wireless station about the
U-5S. To reporters who asked abou,
stories that two Bremens had left
port, but had failed to reach Amer
lea. he replied that only two CON-
merce submarines had ever started
from Germany for the United States
the Deutschland and Bremen. He
said he expected to start back tC
Germany within fortnight.
Captain Koenig said this afternoon
that the Deutschland's cargo wa:
worth $4,000, 900.

"The kaiser took things that
said Just as told them" he added
The emperor, Koenig said, is look

LOST ON THE
MARINA
Situation Becomes Involved
and the U. S. Finds Many
Problems Arising From the
Unwarned Sinking Of Ship

London, Nov. 1.-Five Americans
are missing and believed to have per-
ished in the sinking of the British
steamer Marina, according to the lat
est dispatches received here today.
They are: Daniel Thomas. VIII
mington, DEL; Josh Brown, Roanoke,
Va; Brown, Charlotte, N. c.;
Geo. Sedbury, Fayetteville. N. c.;
- House. Norfolk, Va.
The United States consul at
Queenstown has taken the joint am
divits OF 2S Americans landed at
Berehaven and IA landed at Crook
haven, declaring that the Marina was
attacked without warning.
Twenty-eight survivors were land
ed at Dublin.
Washington, Nov. 1.-The situa-
ton growing out of the sinking OF the
British steamer Marina by a German
submarine today loomed up as an
issue fraught with the most serious
possibilities since the torpedoing Of
the Sussex.
With six Americans believed to be
dead as the result of the sinking Of
the British ship. and no evidence yet
to show that the submarine gave
them a chance for their lives, the
situation has become extremely
grave.
Germany has been asked for the
submarine commanders report Of the
affair, while the United States d.
plomatic and consular representatives
near the scene have been directed to
forward by cable all information that
can be gathered. II the evidence I'm
ally shows that the Marina was sunk
without warning. the German govern
ment. 1t was agreed, will face the ne
cessity Of taking drastic action to ex-
plate the offense. One submarine
commander will have been proven
guilty Of prosecuting relentless and
indiscriminate" warfare against YES
sells OF commerce, the penalty for
which, this government declared in
its Sussex note of April is, would be
the breaking of of diplomatic rela-
tlons. Recognition OF the gravity Of
such action by submarine COM
mander was shown at the German
embassy. where 1t was said the COM
mander would be punished. II found
guilty, his action disavowed by the
government and reparation made.
Today it was made clear that in
asking Berlin, through the American
embassy there, for the admiralty's
information on the sinking OF the
Marina, 1t was not intended to in
innate Germany's submarine pledges
have been violated. Such informa-
tion as Germany may have is likely
to be essential in the clearing up OF
disputed points in the case.
Because of the large number OF
Americans among the survivors, their
atiidavits probably will prove the de-
Gliding factor in determining this gov
ernment's action.
Secretary Lansing has refused to
discuss the matter in the absence Of
definite proof Of just what the CIR
cumstances actually were.

O GIVES PERMISSION
TO BUILD SIDETRAOK
VIII Allow American Cement Com
pany to Build Track Across
It's Property.

The American Cement Machine
company wishes to run switch or
side track from its plant at Fourth
and Bank streets across Bank street
between Third and Fourth streets.
The track would pass over property
of the c., B. & @. railroad and also
property Of the city and various in
dividuals. The matter has been pend
ing for some time as It has been
necessary to secure the consent of the
various property owners to the deal
first.
In a paper fled with the city coun-
ell this morning, the c., B. & @. road
has waived all damages which may
result from the construction of a side
track across Bank street between
Third and Fourth streets. The side
track is to extend from connection
known as the uptown switch to lot
Q in block 81. This means that the
road has given permission for the con-
struction Of the switch. The city
council Will probably pass an ordin-
ance shortly. giving permission for
the construction Of the track.

By Mr.. Elder.

To the constitutions Democrat:
Referring to your article on March
4th, misrepresenting certain acts Of
the city council and holding Mr.. Frank
Schmidt up to criticism for such acts.
The SUIT you mention, brought by me
in 1914, against Cameron e McManus,
for damage to Cedar street, was for
excavations in Cedar street to the
depth Of twenty feet or more by Cam
eron & McManus and others quarry
ing on what is known as the stock
yard grounds. This quarrying had
been going on in Cedar street for
years by various parties and no OBJ
jections were made by anyone Any
one who will take the trouble to in
vestigate the matter and really ascer-
tain the facts, will know that there
can be no comparison between this
and the present matter under discus
sion. 1t would cost thousands Of dol
lars to make Cedar street as 1t was
before the excavations: whereas, the
plat Of ground in question, leased to
the Keokuk Quarry & Construction
Co.. for quarry purposes, by the city.
is Of no value to the city as a street,
alley or public ground and would be
worth more when the rock and dirt IS
removed than it Is now. 1t cannot be
reached by the city except over pri-
vate ground. It's promise of future
value Is very slight. Neither rock nor
dirt could be taken from 1t today ex-
cept at great expense. On the other
hand. Cedar street and the "City
Plan" is one OF our future thorough
fares and offers the best grade from
our levee Of any street in town
The deal" you refer to amounts to
less than 5000 and any unbiased per-
son would say It was a good trade for
the city. 1t Is seldom now that the
city can buy dirt in place-where It
needs it. for seventeen cents per yard
or twice this price
What I am wondering and probably
many others as well, is what was the
animus behind your article? Take tho
public into your confidence
7 believe in a Square DEAF for the
CITY and its citizens now and for all
time.

MICHIGAN HAS
new INDUSTRY
LIMESTONE AND SALT USED IN
WAR CHEMICALS FOUND
IN STATE.
NEW PLANTS SPRINGlNG UP
Michigan Has Enormous Supply OF
Natural Brines and Rock Salt
Deposits.

Lansing--As a result OF demands
pendent upon salt, brines and lime
stone for their base, and particularly
those entering into the manufacture
of dye-stuffs and explosives, Michigan
is developing a new industry. The raw
materials from which a large part of
the chemical products, used in explo-
sives. medicines, disinfectants and
dyestuffs are made, are obtained from
brines, limestone, coal and wood.
Michigan has enormous supplies Of
natural brines and rock salt deposits.
The Marshall sandstone which under
lies the greater part of the southern
peninsula contains an abundance of
brominiferous brine
Formerly many OF the salt compan-
ies produced bromine as a by-product.
The output became so large that the
prices dropped TO the cost of manu-
facture. Most of the salt companies
ceased 10 use their bitterns for these
products and at the beginning of the
war there were only few companies
producing bromine, bramides and cal
cium chloride. Though these products
are generally obtained as by-products
in salt manufacture at Mt. Pleasant,
Midland and Bay City. there are large
chemical plants using the brines Who'll
ly in the manufacture of bromine, bro
mides, calcium chloride and various
other chemical products. Salt COM
panies in st. Charles and Saginaw
still produce these substances as by
products
In addition to the natural brines,
Michigan has enormous rock salt de-
posts in southeastern Michigan along
the Detroit and st. Clair rivers, in
Alpena, Presque Isle, Manistee and
Mason counties.
THE aggregate thickness of the salt
beds in the Detroit-St. Clair rivers dis
trict averages more than 400 feet. In
Presque Isle county the maximum
thickness exceeds 500 feet. The area
known to be underlain by salt beds
covers several square miles and the
supply Of salt now in sight, at the
present rate of production is roughly
estimated to be sufficient to last 80
O00, 900 years.
Most of the salt produced in Michi-
gan is obtained from evaporation of
artificial brines from these deposits
and In the vicinity of Detroit two or
three companies are utilizing the
brines wholly in the manufacture of
soda ash, bleach, caustic. calcium
chloride and other products. Lime
stone containing nearly pure calcium
carbonate is required in the manufac-
ture OF soda ash products, and also
in the production of many by-products
from coke ovens. Almost unlimited
deposits of such limestone are found
in Alpena, Pressure Isle, Cheboygan
and Charlevoix counties in the south
ern peninsula, and in Mackinac and
Schoolcraft counties in the northern
peninsula.
