FAMINE CLOSE AT HAND.
Lafayette's Water suppIy Is Decreas-
ing with Great Rapidly.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
LAFAYETTE, Ind. June II. - Three
pumps are busy night and day pumping
water from the canal into the city mains
and thence on to the reservoir at Columbian
Park, but, in spite Of all efforts to main
tain a supply, the store in the reservoir is
decreasing at an alarming rate and suffer-
ing will ensue If the situation is not re-
lieved very soon. At 3 o'clock this after
noon there was less than ten feet of water
In the reservoir.
The city is Indebted to a local ice COM
pany for the present limited supply. The
company owns the canal from which the
water is being jumped. The pumps of the
gas company and the Citizens Electric
Light and Heating Company were put in
use to-day and are sending a small supply
into the reservoir.
People all over. the city are taking ex-
treme precautionary measures, in fear of
disease-laden water, and boiling is common
everywhere. At present the combined
pumping machinery is sending two million
gallons into the mains every twenty-four
hours. The condition remains very critical,
and Superintendent Camardy has scores
of men at work to prevent waste. One OF
the most inconvenient features of the famine
Is the fact that laundries have been obliged
to close. Dirty linen is being shipped to
Indianapolis. All factories depending on
the city water supply are still closed. 1t is
thought that repairs can De made to the
pumping machinery by tomorrow night.

Reply to Congressman RObinson's At.
tack ON the United States Navy.


Special to the indianapolis Journal.
FORT WAYNE. Ind, June 17.-Lieut. A.
Bronson, u. s. N, is in this city enlist
ing recruits for the navy. He was much
surprised to read in a local paper an in
terview with Congressman Robinson advis-
ing young men not to enlist in the navy
because of the ''deplorable conditions
which prevail in the navy. There is not a
week, Mr.. Robinson said, that he does not
receive an application from some young
man who has enlisted and who wants to
get out. II would warn young men, said
Mr.. Robinson. who are about TO enlist TO
be prepared TO bear the ordeal confront
ing them with nerve. and periodically to
serve the full term OF their enlistment. I'm
der present regulations, however. / would
not advise enlistment at ALL"
When Lieutenant Bronson read this
statement he said hat. while he would not
be understood as criticising Mr.. Robinson.
he would say that the conditions of the
navy are not deplorable and that the Amer
lean seaman Is the best fed man In any
navy in the world. 'Some recruits en-
list In the navy" he said. with the idea
that they will have nothing TO do but float
around under tropical skies. The average
enlisted man who seeks TO desert Is a man
who would be useless in any occupation,
lacking stamina. Any youth who Is really
of manly quality will not find IL a life OF
hardship or the conditions 'deSlorable' In
