One hundred and eighteen members of Germania lodge, No. Il, s. of H.. and of the sister lodge. Immergruen No. 12. went from this city by special car Thursday night to New London where they were guests at the celebra- tion held by Herwegh lodge of that city in honor of Paul Koenig. the dar- ing captain of the undersea merchant man Deutschland. Tho reception was held in Lawrence Hall.
 Members of the Sons of Hermann to the number of 1.400 from various parts Of the state participated in the festivi- ties of the evening. The feature of the occasion was the conferring on Captain Koenig of honorary member ship in the organization, a distinction which has been given but once before was the late Admiral Schley. The honor is conferred only on men of in. ternational reputation.
 The Norwich delegation left here in a. special car at 6.45 o'clock and made the return trip at 11.45 o'clock, arriv- ing back in Franklin square at 12.30 o'clock. The committee in charge of the local arrangements comprised Au- gust Hahn. secretary of Germania Lodge, Henry Leopold and Carl zem- ka.
 MT. Hahn and William Zelz, another memDer or German1a LOdge or this city, enjoyed the distinction of secur- ing a glimpse of the famous undersea craft tied up at the state pier. They talked for a short while with the su- perintendent of the Eastern Forward ing company's office and with several of the sailors from the Willehad. They expressed a wish to board the subn1a- rine but were informed by the super intendent that strict orders had been given to allow no one on board.

preaching the crossing at greater speed than is prudent, and it has been only by the utmost effort that some cars have been brought to stop in order to avoid disastrous collision with the trains.
 The bridge on the Bolton -Andover road will vividiy recall to autoists any trip they have ever made over it. In addition to being only wide enough for one car or other vehicle, 1t is al- most at right angles with the road, and there is such a sharp descent on the west side that unless auto brakes hold securely q machine is controlled with the greatest difficulty. The ap- proach on the east side of the bridge is also dangerous, as there is a very steep and rough hill and in order to avoid throwing into tow gear autoists generally climb the hill faster than they should, considering the danger of the narrow span and the equally bad approach from the west.
 So many obstacles confronted the engineers in laying out the new high way that it is considered an engineer undoubtedly be shown while the work is being done. Starting at the west, the new road will leave the present road about 15e yards south of the 1 railroad crossing and climbing the mountainside back of the fagman's
 
 | breaches the railroad tracks at point which one would think nature had pre- pared for one end of the bridge. Here there is the necessary cut on the rock ribbed side of the mountain, but crossing the tracks diagonafly, the | proposed road runs into the huge ledge. Removing this hill will be . rather delicate piece of work, as the rock will undoubtedly have to be 1 blasted, and the railroad tracks di. rect1y beneath must be kept clear fol | traffic.
 Cutting into the present road jus, | west of the Waldo Rice house, the present road until 1t reaches point about a hundred yards east of ths E-new highway continues east on the 1 South Bolton bridge, where 1t again leaves the present road and turning southeast follows along the side of the railroad tracks until it meets the l present Bolton -Andover road some distance east of the present danger ous bridge. In following this plan ii will be necessary to move the yellow 1 house owned by Marvin Howard and ] it is proQoGD4 to move 1t to adjoining

property of MT. Howard, east of the present location.
 Building the road up the mountain side on the south side of tine Notch will require considerable cutting and filling, but there will be even more grading in bringing the new highway to the old Bolton -Andover road. The stakes for the work have been driven and the grades have been decided up- on, so that work will be started as soon as a few details are arranged.
 Many are of the opinion that the South Bolton bridge will also be eliminated by the improvements, but according to representatives of the commissioners office this bridge will remain for the present. as there is no inclination to in any way change the old South Bolton road. When the work is completed the concrete span over the naturally picturesque Notch will be one of the sights of that sec- tfon and automobilists will have an excellent road from Willimantic to Manchester. These Improvements, to- gether with the elimination of two very dangerous conditions, will more than repay the state and railroad com pany.

 After receiving the degree and di- plona, Captain Koenig was presented a beautiful gold watch charm emble- nautical of the order. Following this there were addresses by several of the grand officers. A season of scciability ensued. A buffet luncheon was served and music for dancing was furnished by an orchestra
 was realized that the quarters of Her. wegh lodge in Main street would be inadequate for the occasion and plans bwere at once made to secure a larger meeting place. Frank A. Baier was chairman of the committee of arrange mentS.
 Many of the members of the order who arrived in the afternoon took auto mobiles or walked to the state steam ship terminal, where the Deutschland is dccked. There were more visitors there than any day since the submersi- ble arrived, but few if any had an op- portunity to view the undersea freighter.
 In response to a query Vice Presi- dent Paul Hilken of the Eastern For warding company said the process of loading was going on as usual. He stated that no further shipments of silver bullion had been received Otherwise he said there was nothing for publication.
 Gotthold Prusse, the German con- struction engineer, who made the orig lnal calculations of weights to be car ried by the subsea freighter, is in New London. He came to this country on the Deutschland on her first trip and IS In New London for the purpose of calculating the weights iii the slowing of her present cargo.
 The Deutschland will not start her homeward trip today as was originally planned. Thursday night it was stated her departure might be delayed until next week. Failure of some of the cargo 10 arrive on time is the reason assigned for the delay.

A Voice from Bermuda.

Since the recent submarine attack on the American coast two Berm udian ladies were sympathetically exchang- ing opinions on what they regarded as criminal patience upon the part of President Wilson towards Germany. They had no mercy upon that official dignitary, they gave him no quarter, and between them the two speedily reduced him to political pulp. Finally one of them in a burst of cumulative indignation exclaimed seornfully. If Germany should Lombard New York, all she'd have to say would be, Oh.

OLD DEATH TRAP
 TO BE ABOLISHED
Highway Commissioner Announces Plans for Elimination of Notch Railroad Crossing.

Bolton people. as well as thousands of automobilists who pass through there on the old Boston turnpike, will welcome the encouragement that State Highway Commissioner c. J. Bennett has practically completed plans for the elimination of the Notch railroad crossing and the discontinuance of the death trap bridge on the Bolton-An- dover road by the construction of a new highway.
 The advisability of these improve ments was recognized years ago, but the job was put off each year because of the large expenditure involved. For some time, however, Commission CT Bennett has been convinced that with the great amount of through traffic it was due principally to luck averted. Although the railroad com pany guards it's crossing with a flag man, sharp decline just north Of the crossing often results in autos ap-
