ESTABLISHED 1 "NEW LONDON PREPARING TO RECEIVE SUBMARINE BREMEN Carpenters Engaged to Rush Completion of Sheds for Terminai at Cost of $100,000 New German Bremen London, Aug. 10.—With the undersea merchantman variously reported as sunk, captured and merely overdue on her transAtlantic adventure, construction work at the state pier was begun here today on warehouses which local ma- rine circles claim will receive cargoes for the Bremen and other submarines to follow. Carpenters were engaged on what was described as a rush job to erect sheds to cost upwards of $100,000 and with a floor space measuring seventy feet by 400. The contractors indi- cated that the warehouse was being constructed for the state, but persons who claimed to be in the confidence of the Eastern Forwarding company to which the Deutschland’s cargo was consigned at Baltimore, insisted that a “submarine terminal is building here. Meanwhile the Bremen was not re- ported today. A polceman at a neigh- boring beach resort claimed he sight- ed a periscope, but no importance v attached to this for the reason that several United States submarines are holding maneuvers in this vicinity. May Not Arrive This Month. One assertion made here today re- garding the Bremen’s reported ap- proach to this port indicated that the undersea craft might not be expected to arrive at any American port until after September 1. Information came from an apparently reliable source that the same contracting company which is putting up the pier warehouse made arrangements a few days ago for steamship company in New York have ready on the first day of next month a sea-going steamship suficient- ly large to accommodate sixty men be- sides its own crew, one stipulation un- der which this charter was made be- ing that separate quarters must be provided on the steamer for officers and men. From this it was assumed that the charter was being written on behalf of the consignees of the Bremen'’s car- g0, ampie room being assured for the removal of the submersible's officers and crew to the steamer in a contin- gency. An officlal of the contracting company today denied knowledge of such a charter. CLAIM HEAVY DAMAGE Berlin Reports Naval Bases and Im- portant Industrial Plants Were De- stroyed in Zeppelin Raid on Eng. Serlin, Aug. 10, via London, 1:55 .

At all places our success was notable and could be distinctly observed.” “In the iron and benzol works near Middlesborough there were very heavy olosions and great fires, and in the harbor installations of Hull and Har- tlepool and also in the dockyards on the Tyne a great explosive and in- cendiary effect was ascertained. Also in industrial plants near Whithy and railway plants near King’s Lynna marked effect was secured. “All the airships returned undam- aged, despite a violent counter action by the searchlights, anti-aircraft bat- teries and naval force: The report is signed by the ‘“chief of the naval staff.” London, Aug. 10, p. m—Com- menting on the Berlin statement re- garding Tuesday night’s Zeppelin raid over England, a British officlal state- ment issued today says: “The German report is the usual perversion of the SUICIDE GUN Aged Resident of Greenwich Uses Revolver With Which Relative End- ed His Life Year Ago.
