TOO MUCH WATER
City Will Have Damaged Streets and
 sridges to Rspais. ~

The heavy rainfall in this city early Tuesday morning did a great deal of damage, flooding ceifars, gutting the streets and sidewalks.
 Perhaps the Horst section of the city was on Pleasant street. which was a large pond, between Whiton streets and past the Pleasant street end of the footbridge. The water went into the cellar of Dawson's greenhouse, putting out the furnace fires. There are two culverts in this section of Pleasant street, but ther fall was so heavy they were not large enough to care for the surplus water. Many of the streets in the Lower Village were several feet under water.
 The different streets were censid-
 erably damaged and city men are now working to repair them. The roads to the surrounding towns are in the worst condition in q long time, many of them under water, and gull leys washed in all of them. Bridges were weakened, and 1t was reported that the bridge over the Natchaus river at Warrenviile. which has been closed to traffic. was considerably weakened. The Eillilnantic river is a fine sight, with the water pouring over the different mill dams two feet thick During the night there was a thun- der storm, while there was a high wind until late in the forenoon.

VON HERTLlNG CONTINUES
 SPEECH IN RElcHsTAc
Tells Of Matters That Must Fiuure in
 Any General Peace Discussion,

Amsterdam, Feb. 26.-Continuius his speech in the reichsrag yesterday Count Von Hertling said:
 Ut has been repeatedly said that we do not contemplate returning Belgium, but that we must be safeguarded from the danger of a country, with which we desire after the war to live i11 peace and friendship, becoming the object or Jumping-of ground of enemy machiia- ations. If, therefore, . proposal came from the opposing side, for example rom the government in Havre. we should not adopt an antagonistic at titude, even though the discussion a. first might only be unbinding.
 Meanwhile 1t does not appear as if MT. Ruciman's suggestion has Q chance Of assuming tangible shape, and l must adhere to the existing methods of dialogue across the Channel.
 Adopting this method, I readily admit that President Wilson's mes sage of February Il represents, per haps. small step towards rnut,1a rapproachment. I therefore pass oye, the preliminary and excessively long declarations in order to address my. self immediately to the four princi. ples, which, in President Wilson. opinion. must be applied in a rnutua exchange of views.
 s"The first clause says that each par of the final settlement must be baset upon the essential justice of that par ticular case and upon such adjust nents are are most likely to bring {
 peace that will be permanent.
 Who would contradict this? Tn, phrase coined by the great Father O the Church. Augustin, fifteen hundred years ago-'Justitia fuddamentum reg norum'- is still valid today. Certai, it is that the only peace based in al it's parts on the principles Of justic

 The second clause expresses tn desire that peoples and provinces sha not be bartered about from sovereign ty to sovereignty as if they were mer chattels and pawns in a game. evei the great game. now forever discred lted, of the balance of power.
 This clause, too, can be liacondi tionally assented to. Indeed one won

 As whole the ehancel1or's address was devoid of rancor, the speaker seemingly having as his purpose to paint a picture to those at home who are dissatisfied with the war in gen eral and the resumption of hestiIities
 against Russia, how generous Ger many is inclined to be. To this end he went to the point of declaring Ger many had no desire to retain eonauer- ed territory in Courland, Esthonia, Li- thuania and Livonia within her grasp. Iii fact the broad assertion was made that Germany's present operations in
 Russia were being carried out solely to secure the fruits of the peace she had signed with the Ukraine.
