Civic Growth"

One of the seldom recognized es-
sentials in the building of a city is
publicity.
This is a recognition of towns
progress.
Greenwood has this essential,
For instance the following editorial
with the caption of Adopting City
Ways in Wednesdays Commercial
Appeal is given
Greenwood, Mississippi, has given to
the world splendid manifestation of
civic growth.
The following notice today can be
found conspicuously posed ON all roads
leading into Greenwood: "Do not un-
hitch and feed on the streets. Go to
the city wagon yard on the river front,
By order of the mayor"
What II Means.
This means that the new municipal
wagon yard Of Greenwood has been
officially opened to the public. 1t
means, also, that Greenwood has grad
uated from the days of infantile ex-
pedients to the days of bigger, better
and brighter things.
There was a time, the present gem
Grafton can recall, when wagons from
the country used to occupy the bluff
now beautifully transformed into two
of the city parks. Wagons would hitch
on either side Of the custom house site
and the mules fed and watered,
There was once day when the thor
oughtly aroused citizens Of Memphis
and Shelby County had before them
the consideration of a bond issue to
insure the building of the Memphis &
Charleston Railroad, the first that ever
entered Memphis.
What 1t Did For Memphis
Many favored the proposition. Many
it. One afternoon mass
was called. 1t was held in
the old city hall, still standing in the
rear of the courthouse ruins. Here
the great issue was considered pro and
con. Col. w. N Brown, one of the
foremost citizens Of his day and gem
Grafton, made great appeal to the
people, not for the proposed railroad,
but against it, He urged as the rea-
son for his opposition to all railroads
that in the end the construction Of
railroads would break up the wagon
trade.
However, the Memphis & Charleston
Railroad was built, and is now the
Southern. 1t was the first railroad
into Memphis, but even at that time
Memphis Rad not built municipal
wagon yard.
However, Memphis today has a
greater proposition to consider than

TURKS SEND EXPRESSION
OF FRIENDSHIP FOR U. S.
Foreign Office Voices Hope That
Friendly Relations With This
Country Will Continue.

Expressions of friendship for the
United States and of hope that friendly
relations may continue have been given
to Ambassador Elkus by the Turkish
foreign office. A dispatch from the
ambassador makes no reference to
Turkey supporting Germany's subma-
rine policy with the few submarines
known to be under her flag.
1t was disclosed today that dis
patch from Ambassador Elkus Febru-
ary IL, described at the time as merely
routine, contained full report on the
wish of the Turkish foreign office to
continue good relations with the United
States and conveyed general statements
of a very friendly nature.
While the ambassadors advices are
gratifying, it is recalled that the for
eign office all through the war has
been friendly, but has been checkmated
by the opposition of the military forces
which have been in control most of the
time. The foreign office was agreeable
to the departure of about 1000 Amer
leans, but the military authorities still

Deutschland Captured
and Koenig Is Jailed,
Is News Reaching U. S,

BALTIMORE, Md. February IL
That the merchant submarine Deutsch-
land has been captured and that he saw
her in Plymouth harbor with 1S6 other
German submarines is the statement
made here today by William Palmer,
second engineer of the American trans
port liner Mongolia. Palmer said that
the British had captured 400 enemy
submarines and that 1877 of them were
in Plymouth chained together and in
the center of huge network of chains
attached to buoys and wharves.
Capt Koenig, commander of the subsea
freighter, and his crew are in English
jails, said Palmer. The Mongolia left
Plymouth January 27 and arrived at
New York February I. Palmer was for
merly an engineer here with the Ches-
apeake Steamship Company.
Photographs of the Deutschland
wrapped with the chains which held
her to others in the harbor were on eX-
hibition, Palmer continued, and it was
generally known in shipping circles
that the freighter had been captured.
Where Capt. Koenig and his crew were
detained he did not know, but said all
were put into Jail as soon as the vessel
was brought to port. He did not learn
how the Deutschland was captured.

HALIFAX, n. S., February 1.-THE
task of examining the credentials of
the various members of the German
party on board the Scandinavian
American liner Frederik VIII, from
New York to Copenhagen, was begun
today by a corps of Canadian immi-
grafton and customs officers. The ship
last night was taken to secluded
portion of Halifax harbor for this pur-
pose. A small army of officials boarded
the steamship this morning and the
length of the vessels stay here will
depend on whether they find everything
satisfactory with the papers of the
German party. which includes Count

Measures Taken by England,
by System of Nets and Mines,
to Block Submarine Menace

Important moves by Great Britain to
meet the submarine menace have been
announced A new danger zone has
been proclaimed, seeking to block
practically the whole route of exit
toward the Atlantic Of the German u
boats from their bases in Germany and
Belgium.
With the English channel practically
closed by an elaborate system of nets.
mines and patrols. the means of exit
for the submarines has been through
the route north of Scotland anu down
the Irish coast. The new danger zone,
designed to close that way out, is
understood to have been strewn with
mines
A copy of the notice. dated February
13, has been received at the State De-
partment. 1t warns shipping that
after February n prescribed area
including all waters off Germany and
parts of Holland and Denmark, will
be dangerous and should be avoided.
The new notice says: "In view of the
unrestricted warfare carried on by Ger

submarines, not only against the allied
powers. but also against neutral ship

are constantly sunk without regard to

NET PUT AT ENTRANCE
OF NEW YORK HARBOR
To Be in Position Only Between
Sunset and Sunrise-No
Entries at Night.

NEW YORK. February IA steel
net designed to protect the port of
New York from hostile submarines
was put in place at the entrance off
the harbor today.
For the present it will be kept in
position only between sunset and sun
rise. and will bar all ships from leav-
ing or entering the harbor during the
night. In case of war it's construction
provides for placing it as permanent
barrier, if naval requirements make
it advisable.
Three tugs and three lighters from
the New York navy yard lowered the
net early this morning to the bottom
of the channel, which runs between
Fort Wadsworth on the Staten Island
side to Fort Hamilton on the Brook
lyn side. From shore to shore the
barrier stretches across the NarroWs S,
a distance of about one mile. Anchors
secure it to the bottom, and buoys will
keep the top of the net near or at the
waters surface.
Beginning tonight. all vessels in
tending to enter this port viii be re-
quired to remain outside until the fol-
lowing morning, when the section of
the net closing the channel viii be
removed, to be restored again at sun
set. Similarly, no ship will be per-
mitted to sail except during the day.
beginning tomorrow.
Ships barred at night are expected
to anchor overnight at the Ambrose
channel lightship. In recent days
they have been following this custom
because of the icepacks between the
lightship and the Narrows.
The gate in the net is about 900
feet wide. it was learned at quarantine
The old monitor Amphitrite was in
charge of the operations today.
