Germans Lowered
Algonquin's Flag

New York, March s1.-The crew of
the German submarine that shel1ed
and sank the American steamer AL
gonquin without warning in British
waters nMarch IL refused to let the
freight ship down with the Stars and
Stripes flying, Capt. Nordberg of the
Algonquin said yesterday. The cap
tain and Is OF his men arrived today
at an American port on the Cunard
liner Orduna from British port
Before the A1gonquin's men aban-
doned the vessel she was shelled by
the submarine Capt. Nordberg said
he decided not to haul down the Am
erican flag and hoped to see it flying
when his ship disappeared, but the
Germans who went aboard to place
bombs lowered it before they accom-
p1ished their work of destruction.
Capt. Nordberg confirmed dis
patches that said he and his crew
were denied aid by the submarine
captain and had to row IS miles to
land About three miles off shore an
other submarine was sighted, he said.
The Algonquin was on her way
from New York with grain and pro-
visions when sunk.

TWENTY YEARS AGO.

The law relative to the election of
aldermen has been published so many
times and is so clearly worded that it
is surprising to find people who actu-
ally believe that part of each three
tickets, now afield can be elected. On
Iy two tickets-half of each-can be
elected, those being the ones receiving
the highest total votes for the ten
names upon it, and the one receiving
the next highest total for it's ten
names. It matters not if one name
upon the ticket polling the lowest to-
tai for its ten candidates, receives
more votes than any upon the other
two tickets, the man is not elected.
Combinations made up of names ta-
ken from the three tickets are there
fore useless. What may have been
the purpose of setting such infOrma-
ton af1oat cannot be easily surmised.
The effect is to lead voters into error
and the partial loss of their vote.
/ Sidney N. Lockwood, Democratic
nominee for collector is graduate Of
Yale, which fact indicates his posses
sion of at least the average amount
of intelligent ability, and he can fur
nish the bonds required, which fact
covers all other essential qualifications.
BY bringing the "boy'' charge against
him The Standard belittles itself, not
him, and luhwittingly aids him by vir-
tual1y impeaching the ability of the
many boys of voting age.
The Democratic ticket does not
plead" for. support but demands it
by its strength. Hence the Farmer
is not pleading" but merely present
ing facts as it understands them.
There seems to be quite general
belief that City Clerk Mullins will fbe
reelected. The city has never had a
more efficient clerk and his experience
is especially valuable. Records are
kept in most excellent shape whatever
information may be desired by citizens
is always easily obtainable.

Public Revenue.
Mr.. Lowndes made a speech in de-
report.
Mr.. Clay said he approved Of the
general system contained in this re-
port, but he thought the land tax was
too high for the ordinary season of
peace. He wished to reduce the di-
rect tax. and propose another, and
also to limit the tax to one year, so
as to make it tax from year to
year.
Mr.. Randolph was opposed to the
motion to reduce the tax. Although
opposed to any part Of the system, he
preferred the direct tax to the excise.
January 22-The bill for continu
ing the double duties, after consider
able discussion, was amended so as,
after June, to add to the duties, then
existing, that is, the old duties, AZ per
cent. on their amount, until new

Hartford, March GA memorial
to the Congress of the United States
in favor of universal military service
offered by Senator Brooks, chairman
of the joint committee on military af-
fairs. was passed by the Senate yes
terday In the House, Representative
Ropes objected to it's immediate con-
sideration and it was referred to the
committee.
The memorial follows:
Whereas the laws Of the United
States impose on all citizens the duty
OF performing military. service in
times Of war, and,
Whereas the volunteer system i'm
poses burden OF that duty upon the
few who are patriotic enough to rec
ognize their obligation and enables
many others to evade a duty equally
incumbent upon them,
Resolved, that the General Assem-
bly, urge on the Federal Congress the
passage Of such legislation as will dis
tribute equally among all citizens able
to perform it the burden Of military
service"
