ITO All Steamship Companies;
The following message received from
the navy department is herewith
quoted for your information:
Get in touch at the earliest pos
sible moment with captain and mas
ters of all merchant vessels operat-
ing In your district. especially on the
coast and at sea, and urge upon them
the necessity OF keeping very bright
lookout for German submarines and
OF reporting same Immediately ~
radio to the nearest radio station.
Urge upon them the necessity OF CIV
ing as much detailed information OF
locality where submarines are seen
and any other data that will be OF
value to the naval forces in search
ing for these vessels. Information has
this day been received that submar-
ines are operating in the Pacific.
Please notify all ships and ask that
they spread the news broadcast
Just how definite is the informa-
ton on which the department based
the warning is not known here, nor
Is any information available here as
to the location Of the operating base
or Of the reported submarines.
For some months rumors. OF n
more or less vague nature, have been
circulating on the Pacific coast re-
garding the presence of U boats. but
none of these, when run down. has
revealed any definite information.
One report circulated today, but
which could not be confirmed from
any source, was that secret base had
been discovered in an isolated dis
trict along the west Mexican coast.
Officers OF the Pacific Mail steamer
Newport, which arrived here several
days ago, expressed the belief that,
If the report Of submarine opera
tions proves true, it will be found
that some point along the Isthmus OF
Tehuantepec is the base. These Of
ficers said they heard reports that
submarines. in parts. had been sec
reilly shipped by rail across the 18TH
mus to the vicinity Of Salina Cruz.
They were not able to confirm these
stories.

the cheapest line cannot be Sc
lected, nor can the work be
checked after completion to see
that the contractor has complied
with his agreement, neither can
the drainage structures be prop
erly figured or recommendations
made as to what should be done,
There has been an impression
that the cheapest survey will
suffice but such is not true and
care should be taken to see that
a competent man is employed to
make road surveys or any other
kind of surveys.
A very short time ago surveys
were submitted from two coun-
ties in Western Kentucky. The
work happened to be reconstruc-
ton, the county officials employ
ed a man almost wholly inexper-
fenced in such work. When the
plans were submitted to the De-
partment of Public Roads for ap-
proval, the excavation seemed
excessive and upon investigation
it was found that little attention
had been given to laying the
grade line, and the engineers of
the Office with very little effect
revised the grade line and saved
the county over a thousand dol
lars per mile of road.
am Of the opinion that the
law should require that the State
Road Department make all road
surveys. By so doing, / am pos
tive that better and cheaper
work will result because two or
three parties can then be kept
in the field the entire year. Elk
perienced men chosen to perform
such duties and the surveys for
the coming year can all be pre-
pared by at least January or Feb
ruary and contracts let two or
three months before the road sea-
son opens. 1t will result in much
cheaper bidding and will insure
the work being completed dur
ing the season.
