Washington, April 22. There is little hope that Ger many will meet fully the American submarine demands. - The statement of Admiral Von HoltzendofT shows that modification of the demands is the only chance to avoid a diplomatic break. It is out of the question, he says, that Germany must agree to accept the American demand for visit and to search and providing ample safety for . passengers. , ;:- The Navy Department is rushing repairs to ships and the overhauling of the Atlantic fleet; laborers are work . . ing day antf night.- The American part in the possible war would be giving monetary assistance to the Allies, convoying merchant ships, watching submarines, train ing men and building more ships for possible actual par- ucipauon.

SHEPHERD, Berne, Switzerland, April 24. German submarines have abandoned the use of periscopea in most inci dences, and torpedoes are now fired according to sound, according to re liable Swiss reports. During the past twenty sikings, no one has seen a sign of a submarine. The new periscopeless submarine (1 ascribed here has a great steel disc for an ear on each side.

Guion Esq., of counsel for the Norfolk Soutnorn Railroad, is here today to servo formal notice on a number of persons holding proper ty claimed by the railroad, lying along its right-of-way between Cas well and Gordon streets, that they must turn it oven The Norfolk Southern asserts that it owns a hun dred feet on either side and is pre pared to enter suit if necessary to ujcuro the ground. The Corporation Commission's final" decision that the union depot must be put at Gordon and Independent streets is stated to be the reason for the railroad "dis turbing" the property-holders. Affected by the demand are said to be the following: C. E. Spear and J Stricklin, holding property on the east side of East street; also Mr. Stricklin's property on the West side of East; J. T. Skinner and Robt. Cur tis, both of them holding property on the west side of East street; Mrs. fhos. S. Grady, Mrs. Kate Cobb, C. VV. Hartsfleld and Mrs. Stroud, hold ing property on tfie west side of 'the railroad fronting on Caswoll street. Every persons named owns a house on the property, it is understood; Mr. Skinner owns two, occupied by him self and Atwood Bizzell. . The railroad will proceed to "re cover the ground as it did in the case of property on the south side of Caswell street, turned over to it by half a dozen or so individuals a few weeks ago. The railroad in the latter instance paid for the ground, and did not depend upon suit.

Va April 22 Wil liam R.J Votawer, a Republican nominee for Congress here, is dc,,L .: "v. y (Daily Free Press, April 24) Friends of "the Junction" site have not given up hope altogether that the proposed Kinston union passenger station may be put there, instead of at Gordon and Independent streets, which property is understood to have been determined upon finally by the Corporation Commission. ; According to tentative plans, the station on the lot at "the Junction" would face 'Caswell street. It would set well back from the street, and in front there would be space for park ed grounds and a space for parking vehicles. It is doubted by tho num erous friends of "the Junction" site if there would be enough ground left for either of these purposes at the Gordon-Independent site. There would be built from the sides of the station to. the Norfolk Southern track on the west and the A. C. L. on the east, wide, substantially put-up and architecturally attractive shed3. And there would not be tha slightest dan ger or congestion on the Norfolk Southern's tracks, as some persons contend there would be if the Pres byterian ground wcro selected. Con siderable shifting and expensive over time for train crews would be avoid ed, and the danger of accidents woul j be no greater than now. The sta tion would be a3 near to most of the hotels as it would at the place far ther north. It is believed that the railroads are anxious to have the site at "the junction" chosen. The saving for ground and in other expenses would ; justify them in putting up a hand somer building than they would.be, willing to erect at the smaller but more expensive site, it is contended.

DISTRIBUTORS FOR . lilll i I n A SAVING YOU MAY HAVE MISSED WHAT DOES IT MEAN to you to be told that Titan engines burn kerosene? Not much, does it? Yet because of that fact, you would make the mistake of your life if you bought any other engine. Gasoline and kerosene engines . burn about the same amounts of fuel. .Gasoline now costs, in most places, over 100 per cent more than kerosene. . . A 6H. P. engine, gasoline or kerosene,' burns 700 to 800 gallons of fuel in 1,000 hours work. At present average prices, 700 gallons of gasoline would cost you about 175, while 800 gallons of kerosene costs but $96 or thereabouts. f A Titan 6 II. P. engine, burning kerosene, would (therefore save you somewhere around $70 a year. Now do you realize what a startling statement that is? Titan engines burn kerosene. See me, befor you buy any other engine. Prices right and terms to suit you. H. II. GRAINGER, KINSTON, N. C. I DIL O. L WILSON '; : DENTIST (&m Owr J. E. Hs4 CVi Btrnr.
