BREACH BETWEEN
PRUSSIA AND BERLIN
TROUBLE Is CAUSED BY DIS
AGREEMENT AS TO THE USAGE
THAT SHALL q MADE OF THE
SCHOOLS.

Berlin, October 6.-Conflict has broken
out between the Prussian government
and the city of Berlin which have re-
Gently been on unusually cordial terms.
Inc educational authorities of the king
dom recently wrote to the mayor of Ber-
lin requesting that the halls of school
buildings be no longer placed at the
disposal Of the free religious community.
The city authorities objected on the
ground that the community is a legally
organized association and that 1t was i'm
possible to discriminate 1t and other APP
plicants. In the municipality assembly
tonight Mayor Kirschner read a letter
from the Prussian government informing
him that objection was also made to the
use of school gymnastic halls by Polish
turner's. The government demanded that
permission of the authorities of the king
dom must be asked whenever 1t is de-
sired to allow buildings to be used except
for school purposes, and orders to the
effect were issued to school principals
over the head of the city authorities.
Mayor Kirschner protested against
what he termed an unwarranted denial
of the city's right to control its property
and said that discrimination on religious
grounds was particularly out of place
in the capital of Frederic the Great who
followed the maxim "allow everybody
to be saved in his own fashion"
Mayor Kirschner says the city was even
forbidden to show foreigners It's schools
The assembly voted confidence in the
mayor and his assistants who will con-
slider further steps.

WORKBEING RUSHED
ON THE WATER WORKS
BEssEMER PEOPLE ARE ANXIOUS
TO HAVE THE CONTRACT CON-
PLETED, AS THEIR WATER SUP
PLY Is LIMITED.

Bessemer, October 1.-THE
contractors who are constructing the new
Bessemer water works system are push
ing the work with all possible dispatch.
About one hundred men are working on
the excavations and an equal number are
working on the reservoir on Red noun
tain From present indications the con-
tract will be completed few days be-
fore the specified time.
The pipe, which was made by the
United States Cast Iron Pipe and Foun-
dry company, is being placed along the
route Of the proposed main, and over one
mile Of pipe has already been laid on the
main leauIng from Bessemer to the reser-
voir.
Zuber g Mullarky who have the con-
tract, have established camps along the
line of work and no time whatever Is
being wasted. As the present water sup
ply in the city is somewhat limited, the
people Of Bessemer are naturally anxious
for the new system to be completed.
The source Of the water supply will be
Hawkins springs. Two large pumps
which are being installed by a Cincinnati
firm win pump the water from the
springs to the reservoirs which has a ca
pacity of 100000 gallons. The reservoir
is situated on high point on Red noun
tain and Is being constructed Of concrete.

Why Russians Suffer Defeat.

William Dinwiddie's Manchuria Letter in
Leslie's Weekly.
The fault with the Russians lies In the
rottenness of the tactics employed, In the
incapacity, inefficiency, the decadence, or
whatever you care to call it. of the Off
GERS who command the men, Up to the
present time they have not used the or
binary judgment nor the tactical skill
which would be shown by a ten-year-old
school boy in a battle of snowballs 1t
is not the lack of courage on the part
of either the Russian officer or soldier.
On the contrary, 1t is that quality ex-
hibited so often in South Africa by the
British, and which it pleased me to call
the ''osininity of courage" which the
Russians are now suffering from.
Kuropatkn may be the greatest STRAIT
egist on earth; he may have all the
qualities of a magnificent general which
the Russians attribute to him, and yet, SO
long as his officers. as high in rank as
general, evidence absolutely no capacity
for tactical coordination and co-opera-
ton he is bound to be defeated When
facing one another In actual combat, the
contrast between the Russian and Jap
anese troops, in the respective
display of tactical ability. arouses moth
ing but admiration for Japanese clever
ness and a charitable pity for Russian
stupidity. There is always a clearness
of conception on the part Of the japanese
officers as to what maneuver Is called
for by the situation confronting him, and
a rapidity and precision in executing
their orders on the part of the Japanese
soldiers and minor offieers-always re-
serving that initiatory needed to meet
emergencies not contemplated by their
superiors-a quality so valuable In a we'll
trained soldier.
