Through mistake it was announc-

1t was explained today that in
reality Steinbrink entered a motion

he had made this motion Councilman
O'Neal moved an amendment to place
the Steinbrink motion on the table

PRESIDENT SAYS
U-BOAT ACTIVITY
MUST STOP NOW

WASHINGTON, Jan 5.-Anxious
waiting marked the administrations
attitude today toward the international
situation. Until Ambassador Penfield
reports the reply of the Austrian gov
ernment as to whether an Austrian
submarine sank the Persia the hands
OF this government are tied.
Meanwhile, President Wilson and his
advisers are closely studying the
broader phase Of the situation, that
dealing with the entire problem Of
submarine warfare. The president has
promised action. His confidants de-
clare that this action will be salts
flying. They say that only a complete
acceptance by all Of the Teutonic al
lies of the principals enunciated by
Germany following the Arabic case.
and by Austria in the Ancona second
note will satisfy. But they admit that
the question of armed merchantmen is
becoming increasingly prominent and
threatens a complication that will be
hard to solve.

may LEASE GROUND
FOR ADJUSTMENTS

The board of directors Of the Nor
ton Lake and Park company is con-
sidering the leasing of the property
to some responsible amusement COM
pany for the purpose of erecting an
amusement park. The board will hold
a meeting within the next two weeks
to consider plans for selling lots and
further improving the grounds. Be-
cause Of the lack of funds, the COM
pany cannot erect suitable buildings
for an amusement park and it is be-
lieved that through this means, the
park can be made more popular. The
plan used last year of leasing the
dance hall and refreshments stands
has proved a failure and it is believ-
ed by several of the board members
that the only successful way to con-
duct an amusement enterprise is
through a private company organized
for that purpose.

Oppose Level Bridge.
1t became apparent from remarks
of members that there is decided op-
position to Main street bridge built
on a level plan, mainly because of the
excessive cost.
President Blickwedel and others in

brought to bear on the county COM

south side bridge this year so that
plans could be drawn up and work

bridge matter ought be brought to a
head this year. He opposed the level
bridge plan. calling attention to Cali
fornia bridges he had seen that not

President Blickwedel announced that
