When the supersubmarine Deutsch-
land leaves for home, her status as
merchant vessel also will include that

papers and clippings consigned to the
editors of the large German news
papers, to show them, as was stated
by Gus Buchholz last night. that the
people of the UH3ted States are fair
minded and have no antipathy for Ger
mans. Mr.. Buchholz hit upon this
scheme of sending what might be
termed Americas message of peace
when one of the party of the crew that
was in the capital yesterday said that
1t seemed to him that the American
press is "a mirror of the life of the
American people"
The six men who were here yester-
day were amazed at their reception in
Washington, and particularly at the
ovation given them at Keith's Theater
Friday night. Mr.. Buchholz is sure
that the statements of the members of
the crew when they return to Germany,
backed up by the newspaper articles.
will cause a different sentiment toward
the people of the United States to come
into being among the German people.
Before leaving for Baltimore yester-
day afternoon the men left this mes
sage for abe people of Washington,
through Mr.. Buchholz and Edward H.
Droop, who were their hosts:
Thank People of Washington.
I'VE thank the people of Washington
for their cordial reception, and will re-
member always the few short but
pleasant hours spent here Our recep-
ton was finer than our fondest hopes
led US to believe it would be. (Signed)
albert Albers, Hans Hukel, Tony Born,
Karl Pickert, Karl Steen and Edhardt
Schneider
Mr.. Buchholz said last night that Mr..
Droop and himself entertained the men
from the submarine because they con-
sidered every man on the boat hero.
They were not forced to come said
Mr.. BuchholZ but every one volunteered.
They cannot be forced to return if they
do not want to do SO. for they are not in
military service. They are free to follow
their own will, yet every one of them
will stay with the Deutschland and brave
the dangers that await them"
He went on to say that Mr.. Droop and
he wished to introduce the men to the
people of America as far as they were
able and to show them how fair-minded
Americans are. He said that their re-
ception has made profound impression
upon the men.
Mr.. Buchholz and Mr. Droop will go to
Baltimore this morning to extend to Capt.
koenig a personal invitation to visit
confident that the sub skipper will ac-
cept.

MAY REVISE SCHEDULE
Of 7TH STREET LINE
Construction of Capital Traction s
Proposed Loop Likely to Make
Change Advisable.

Revision of the street car schedule
on 7th street may follow the construc-
ton by the Capital Traction Company
within the next few weeks of a loop
around the G. \. r. monument, at the
intersection of 18th street and Penn
sylvania and Louisiana avenues north
west. Work on the Improvement
which has been authorized by the pub
lie utilities commission. will start in
a week or ten days, it is announced.
and effort will be made to have it
completed by the middle of August.
The company has made no announce
ment as to a change in schedule, but
the effect of the Improvement, it is
understood. will be to turn back on
18th street certain cars which now go
all the way to the river. thus giving
a more frequent service on 18th street
north of Pennsylvania avenue.
Other Proposed Improvements.
Other improvements on the It'll street
line are to be made in the near future.
Preparations are under way for installing
complete new construction from H to K
street, the substructure to be removed
being a part of the old cable road that
was laid in 1890 The tracks on 18th
street from New York avenue to street
also are to be Immediately repaved and
a new slot rail installed.
The company recently completed the
regarding and paving of it's U street line
from 14th to 10th street. and in the near
future will install complete new construc-
ton on the 14th street line from to r
street, replacing, as in the case of the
It'll street improvement, portion of the
old cable road that was laid in this sec
ton in 1892.
Both east and west bound cars are
now operating over the new Pennsyl-
vania Avenue bridge, spanning Rock
creek. The Capital Traction Company,
which is assessed for one-third the
cost of the bridge, has removed it's
tracks from the NJ street structure and
practically completed the new construc-
ton, including the paving between the
tracks. The District government is now
completing the approaches and paving
the roadway, and the bridge will be
opened to general traffic in about two
weeks.

Chancellor Won Bethmann-Hollweg an
nounced that Germany was ready to
end the war by peace guaranteeing
the existence and future of the nation.
1t was the Chancellor's siXtieth
birthday and his desk was decorated
with chryanthemums.
"The war continues with its destruc
tive forces" the Chancellor said. "Ac-
cordingly our enemies desire it. They
celebrated the past summer as a
period of victory. But did they obtain
what they wanted?
"Our lines are unbroken, and Ru-

of events was expected, is now atom

confidence.
But gentlemen. this right ought
not to make us forget duty. Our en-
emies do not desire peace yet. They
have superior numbers at their COM
mand, and almost the whole world
delivers war material TO them"
The Chancellor urged the necessity
to do everything in Germany's power
in order to manufacture the necessary
war material, saying: Hands that
are idle assist the enemy"
The man power bill. he continued,
had been discussed with the interest
ed trades and in the Reichstag Main
Committee, and was in harmony with
the patriotic spirit shown by the
whole nation since the beginning of
the war.

ernments," the Chancellor continued

Ragged Survivors of Chihuahua
Garrison Have Reached Jaurez
FLIGHT BEGUN ON MONDAY
Refugees Say That Streets Of Aban-
doned City Were Full of Dead
Soldiers.

FL Paso, Tex, Dec 1.-The remn-
ants of a Carranza army that fed
from Chihuahua City after a battle
with Villa troops we're in camp last
night on the plains south OF Juarez,
Mex. They carried with them the
story of the evacuation of the city af-
ter four days and nights of fighting.
The dead were piled high in the
streets when they left and had been
covered with oil and burned, they
said.
The hospitals at guarez are filled
and volunteer nurses are working to
care for the officers and men wounded
in battle
Refugees said that between the
cemetery and Santa Rosa hill the
dead covered the streets. many having
died days before. Along Zarco avenue
the fighting had been fiercest, and
many civilians had been killed there
and in other parts Of the city by shell
fire and rife balls.
All OF the refugees agreed that Car
rama troops were winning during the
first four days of the fighting, but
either because of shortage OF am
munition or lack of morale. they aban
doned the city early on the fifth morn
ing of the battle, seeking safety in
fight in all directions. The taking of
Santa Rosa hill. which always has
geen known as the key to Chihua-
hua,' was said by one of the foreign
refugees TO have started the retire
ment OF the Carranza forces, which
he said. resembled a rout before the
last train left
When the artillery was turned on
the city. the refugee added. the moral
effect was almost Immediately notice

had been anxious for battle Saturday
night, dropped their rifles and fled.
One Mexican civian refugee de-
clared yesterday he had seen Villa in
the city Monday morning before the
train left. He said villa was walking
without the aid of crutches as if to
inspire his men with his fortitude.
His mustache was shaved off and he
looked much thinner than of old
Nothing was known of the Amer

City one foreign refugee said, George

SAY FORD is ovER-cAPITALlzED
Greater Than Permitted in Michigan
Is Attorneys Argument.

Detroit Nov. 2S.-Attorneys for
John f. Dodge and Horace e. Dodge,
making final arguments this after
noon in Circuit court in the injunc-
tion suit brought against Henry Ford,
president of the Ford Motor company,
alleged that the Ford companys capt.
talization is much greater than the
maximum allowed by Michigan laws.
1t was argued that although the
company's articles of incorporation
show capitalization of $2,000,000 the
assets of the concern are now worth
$400, 100000. 1t was asserted by the
attorneys that Mr.. Ford's plans for
greatly increasing the output of his
plants might sharply conflict with
state incorporation laws. The state
law now provides that no concern can
incorporate for more than $25,000,OO0
in Michigan.
Earlier in the day attorneys for
Ford argued against the issuing of a
permanent injunction restraining
Ford from using the company's pro-
fits for development purposes

THE PREDATORY CAT
Worst Enemy of Song 5rds-costly
Legislative Joke.

A cat that measures 8 feet inches
from tip to tip was shot on the game
reservation at South Carver within
the month This animal was not of
the sort known to woodsmen as wild
cats. Ii was of the same breed as the
cat in the kitchen. The game ward
ems call that kind of cat a hunting
cat" and shoot such on sight in order
to save the lives of birds. They are
domestic cats which have gone wild"
The struggle of foresters and farm
ers against the depredations of in
sects has brought to light the social
value of the song bird. The birds are
something more than delights to ear
and eye. In foraging for food they de-
stroy the insects which continually
wage war on field and woodland.
The cats not fed by master or mis-
tress prefer a diet of birds. No fare
could be more expensive to the rest
of us. A bird which protects the veg
citation man requires makes one meal
for an active cat. The more cats, the
less birds; and the greater the insect
scourge.
Each year some sort of measure
comes up in the legislature to check
the irresponsible and expensive army
of cats which belong nowhere and
which are infinitely more dangerous
than their size warrants Each year
a laugh greets such a measure. But
cats at large are anything but joke.
There is no more reason why an eff
cient community should permit an
army of hunting cats" to thrive than
it should permit dogs to run wild as
in a Moslem city. 1t is only the laugh
ter of ignorance which intervenes TO
protect cats from proper legislation.
1t is an expensive joke.-Boston
Globe.

London, Dec 1.-The forces of Field
Marshal Won Mackensen are almost
within shelling distance of the south
ern forts which protect Buchrest, the
capital of Rumania. Driving along
the railroad leading north from Giur-
giuv Won Mackensen has captured
the town OF Tzomana, 16 miles south
of Bucharest, and at last account was
still making progress.
Meanwhile the army of Gen. Won
Falkenhayn is keeping up its pres
northwest of the capital, having
forced the Rumanians to fall back to
Glayatziotzu, 81 miles from Buchar-
est, and farther north having captured
the town of Campulung, thus opening
the way for the unhindered advance of
additional troops of the central pow
ers through the Torzburg pass into
Wallachia.
The offensive begun by the
Russians in the region of Kirlibaba
apparently is not impeding to any ex-
tent the Teutonic inroads into Ru-
mania. Additional gains are conced-
ed to the Russians in this region, but
again it is asserted that they have
been paid for heavily in casualties
The Rumanians on the north and
northwest fronts have made progress
in the Buzeu and Prahoya valleys.
In none of the other theaters has
there been any fighting of intensity,
so far as the official reports show.

Col Ira L. Reeves, president of
Norwich university, in a chapel talk
to the cadets at Mortified Saturday
spoke in the highest terms of the work

stated that rumors to the effect that
Chaplain Thomas had been asked to

Chaplain Thomas had talked over
the matter of his contemplated resig-

month before he resigned. and had
frankly stated that he would gladly
remain should the regiment he order

the circumstances the call Of duty at
