Some of tl town's streets are worse than t average country road. It would n require a large expenditure to cl the streets, and the improveme would be well worth the money.

Will -t citizens and city fathers allow tl opportunity to pass: Secretary Bryan is a man of u doubted brains, and there is a g ; eral feeling of deep regret over 1 , resignation from the cabinet. \ his quitting his post at this critic time will not be soon forgotten even his staunchest friends, who f< that he should have remained in t cabinet to assist the president at tl time, above all other times. The are few who do not agree heart with the peace policy of the sec tary, but he doubtless does not < i sire peace more than the preside The country would be in a bad con tion if every peace advocate shot withdraw support from the govei ment at this time. On the otl hand. Mr. Bryan's resignation n: be construed as the act of a v< large man.

( ie at Berlin, expressed regrets that ,-v through "an unfortunate accident" ie a German submarine had torpedoed j the American steamer Gulflight. and lg declared itself "ready to furnish full aj recompense for the damage thereby sustained by American citizens."

Blame for the attack on the Gulf,n light was placed by the foreign office ,e upon the proximity of two British natrol boats and the absence from IU ? ie the steamer's freeboard of the distinctive markings usually carried by iC neutral ships. "That the attacked j. steamer carried the American flag," j. the note added, "was first observed 3. at the moment of firing the shot." n( The Gulflight was torpedoed in the r. English Channel five weeks ago ,e while carrying oil from Port Arthur, ir Texas, tor Rouen, France. She was ,e towed to Crow's Sound and beached h for repairs. Two seamen were >v drowned when the crew took to the ?. boats and the captain died of heart jf trouble the next day. The expression of regrets and o! i- offer of reparation follows the prinie ciple outlined in a circular Germany j-1 recently sent to neutral nations dis >f claiming intention of attacking neut, tral vessels carrying non-contraband.
