BERLIN OFFICIAL PAPER
DEMANDS DESTRUCTION
OF LONDON AS REPRISAL
{By the Associated Press,

Amsterdam, March 13.-The des-
truction of 400 English towns by
German airplanes is demanded by the
Berlin Tages Zeitung "as reprisal'
for the action Of the Allies in con-
fiscating 400 German merchant ships.
IF we are in position to destroy
the whole of London" the paper says,
cit would be more. humane to do so
than to allow one more German to
bleed to death on the battlefield To
hesitate or surrender ourselves to
feelings Of pity would be unpardon-
able. Softness and sentimentality
are stupid in war time.''

hozS$4S0W t1at ne t00u80t the CITY
was al fkults In that their specifica-
tions called for the laying of$vitrified
pipe along that part Of the Second
street sewer, and that he was also to
blame because OF his undertaking to
lay such pipe under the soil and wat
er conditions that obtain in that To-
cality. For some distance the lineis
three feet below the low water level
OF the James river. There was water
in the trench when the pipe wa1 laid.
tho the pipe was never; lAld under
water, as the pump was kept in oR-
.erxtton dnnlux .each sifay while the
work Was In progress: Water caAne
up over Il during each night, how
ever. He was under the impression,
he stated, that the head of water had
washed out the concrete which had
been placed about the joints, this
having taken place while the con-
crete was still green"
JOINTS NOT AS CALLED i.
FOR. By. CONTRACT
=, Members of the council made in
quiries in regard to the specifications
and it was found that they had made
definite provision that all joints
should be made water-tight and inas-
much as these joints now leak, 1t was
felt by some that the city had no lia-
biiity in the matter. Mr.. Danforth
stated that his original bid for the
laying Of iron pipe had been $500 q
foot and for vitrifbed pipe $1.0O q
foot. The difference would have
amounted to 1850 for the $40 feet
between the man-hole near the bridge
and the sewer-life at the corner of
Eighth avenue. Many details Of the
construction OF the sewer, the kind
OF soil that was encountered during
the excavation, and the changes that
would be necessary to render the
sewer entirely satisfactory, were dis
scussed.
Finally resolution was introduc-
ed providing for the making of an
offer TO Contractor Danforth to pay
one-half OF the cost Of replacing the
present pipe with eight-inch iron
pipe, with the provision that the
fcity's share Of the same Is not to ex-
ceed $1,000. Mr.. Danforth accepted
the proposition.
Practically all the city is doing BY
this action is to pay the difference
between the cost Of putting In the
vitrihed pipe. and the amount that #
would have taken to install, ct first,
the iron pipe, which. It is now found,
is demanded by the nature Of the
soil and the water cond dttt0ns at that
point, So the. city is losing almost
nothing by the change.

This time it's a statement published
recently with the object Of Justifying

In the statement It quotes q cap
tured French artillery officer. Edouard
de Bondelr. as stating that the tower
Of the cathedral was employed con-
stantly as an observation post, and
that he himself had been assigned
as observer there.
The Swiss newspaper conducting an
investigation Of this report has estab-
hshed beyond question that Edouard

fighting in the army. and outside of
him no member Of the Bondeln fam

This step was made necessary by
the wider use of the telephones es-
