It would be a good idea for t!
city council to clay some of the sa

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.

Secretary Bryan is a man of u

The country would be in a bad con

be construed as the act of a v<

Washington, June 4.?Germany, in1
1S a note cabled to the State depart-j
ij ment today by Ambassador Gerard. (
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." I
ie In the same communication the
r_ German foreign office said it had not
,d I been possible to clear up fully the
jc case of the American steamer Cushie
ing, reported attacked by a German
ir aeroplane, and asked that the United
>n States communicate all information
I" m its possession concerning this inin
cident.
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
