According to Captain Freder-
ick Cooke. Norfolk pilot and the
first American to board the Deutch-
land, the crew wore regulation uni
forms of the German merchant sea-
men.
Captain Cooke said the command
er Of the Deutchland was extremely
frank in stating his mission to the
United States-that of instituting
merchant service and export bust
nes between the United States and
Germany. The Deutchland left a
German port June % and although
she encountered a number of mer-
chant snips and one warship, the
commander said he easily escaped
detection by submerging He de-
clared the entire voyage was un-
eventful
Reaching the vicinity of the Vir-
ginia coast Saturday morning, the
Deutchland remained far outside,
knowing that the capes were guard
ed by enemy warships, and came in
in the night under cover of dark
ness. He declared that at one time
he was within 500 yards of a French
cruiser outside the capes, but passed
in unobserved.
According to reports brought in
to Norfolk and credited to members
OF the Deutchlands crew, the sub
mersible arrived off the sapes on
Thursday afternoon. but was de-
tected by the English and French
cruisers on guard and was forced
to run, the chase lasting until Sat
urday morning before the warships
gave up the hopeless task and re-
turned to their stations This re-
port, which had not been confirmed
at the time this was written, was
that the Deutchland went to sea for
a distance of nearly 500 miles be-
fore she got rid of her pursuers;
that she was fired at several times,
and that the delay prevented her
schedule time, early Friday
Navy officials give little credence
to the story declaring that it would
have been no hard matter to sub
merge and evade the enemy ships
with the loss of few hours at the
outside.

PROPOSE BOND
ISSUE TO PAVE
INTERSECTIONS
This Means Suggested for Easing
Paving Burden ON Streets Leading
TO Normal and Presbyterian COL
Iege.

Anent the paving Of Sixth Avenue
from Main Street to the Normal
school and Elm Street from Third
Aveune to the Presbyterian College
the suggestion has been made that
the people of Durant vote a bond is
sue with which to pay for the paw
ing of the intersections of the streets.

would nave to be paid in full by the
property sApg the streets to be
paved. ~
II is contended that no two streets
in the city are in worse need of paw
ing, on account of the large traffic
brought along them by reason of the
college and the normal, but that not
withstanding this heavy traffic, there
is considerable property along the
streets that would be virtually con-
fiscated IL compelled to pave. AS Il
is ordinarily, intersections are paid
for by property, back to the middle
of the adjoining block, the amount
decreasing as the distance of the lot
increases from the intersection.
1t is also believed that the voting
of a bond issue for this purpose
would materially aid the project of
getting the streets paved, for as It is
now, there is considerable objection.
Those suggesting the bond issue Of
fer the opinion that the whole city
benefits by the paving of these two
particular streets, just as much as do
the property owners along the street,
hence the whole people should help
bear the burden, via the bond issue
route. The matter has been dis
cussed by the city council, but up un-
til this time no official action has
been taken in the matter.

Many Pathetic Appeals.

The appeals received at the state
department from parents seeking their
sons are pathetic in many cases. One
mother wrote in saying her son was
"only fourteen and merely over-large
for his age" Other parents charge
that their sons were forced into the
service of Great Britain, though such
an idea is manifestly inaccurate, as
the government of Great Britain read
ily releases boys who are under the
proper age limit.
At the outbreak of the war, the
British authorities made only two re-
ouirements-thatt the boy be an Ameri.
can citizen and under twenty-one years
of age. Later, the age qualification
was lowered to eighteen. Due to the
volume of requests, the English au-
thorities are now only releasing boys
who are under that age. If the boys
father is a naturalized American, the
certificate of naturalization must ac-
company the discharge application.
Owing to the fact that the depart
ment of state has no funds available
to pay for the expenses of this work,
parents are required to deposit $45,
which will pay the boys passage home
and when he is found. another $25 is
