MAY PURCHASE FIRE TRUCK

At meeting of the city council held
at the. city hall Monday evening Of
this week committee. of firemen pre-
scented the matter Of the purchase OF a
motor fire truck for the department.
The firemen made the city council q
proposition that they would donate
$500 towards the purchase of a truck
to cost $4,000 If the city council would
raise the balance iaili
1t was brought out during the meet
ing that insurance rates in Denison
would drop 5 per cent if we have a
motor truck. When this, fact was made
known.the council seemed to favor the
proposition and appointed Messrs.
Pautsch and Moeller to act with the
committee of tfiremen to investigate
the different makes of trucks. M
A truck fitted out with collapsible
ladder, 40 gallon chemical tank, 1000
feetfof hose, to weigh in the neighbor-
hood of two tons, is favored by the
fremen who have already investigated
trucks used in other cities. While the
city is without funds at the present
time with which to purchase truck
it is understood that the local banks
will be willing to carry the warrants
until such a time as the next levy
could be made.
Mr.. j. B. Lyon, president of the Com
mercial club, appeared before the
council to discuss the matter of hitch
ing posts. With the present bad roads
most of the farmers are driving 70
town with horse drawn vehicles and
are having trobule in finding places
to hitch. Mr.. Lyon asked the council
if they would install the posts If he.
secured the consent of property own
ers on the streets where they are to be
The city fathers agreed to
the proposition and it is likely that
posts will be~installed within the next
two Weeks. N

WASHINGTON THINKS BERLIN
WILL SETTLE U-BOAT CRISIS
Germany Now Beginning to Realize
State of American Feeling

w ASItlNNTl lo4N, AITll ..
Suggestions that Germany shortly will
make another effort to reach complete
understanding on the submarine question
with the United States again were re.
newed in Teutonic circles today At the
same time State Department officials inti-
mated that Ambassador Gerard has re-
ceived private assurances from the Berlin
Foreign Office that Germany will If neces-
sary make material concessions to this
Government to relieve the existing strain
growing out of the attacks on vessels
during the last fortnight.
The impression seems growing that
Germany shortly will either modify or
withdraw entirely her original order that
armed ships were to be sunk without
warming; will repeat in specific and exact
terms the assurances that the rules Of
international law are to be scrupulously
observed in all submarine operations. and
will announce complete willingness to
make reparation, pay indemnities, and in
all other ways give satisfaction for any
outrage against neutrals that already has
taken place.
There is no doubt in official quarters
that Berlin has only realized within the
last few days just how serious the sItua-
ton rising out of the Sussex incident and
the general belief that in the United
States German submarines were running
amuclx" actually was. In consequence it
is understood the German officials have
been carefully canvassing how the United
States was to be appeased and its friend
ship retained and that a decision has been
reached on n course of action.
