THE KA1sER,s COMPLAINT.

The German emperor complains to
President Wilson, along with other
things, that the civil population OF Bel
oinm resisted the German invaders to
the extent Of the use Of firearms, which
constitutes a somewhat remarkable com
plaint in the history Of warfare. 'Tis
true that the military arm Of nation
Is formed to fight, but when ones coun-
try is invaded 'twould be poor patriot
who would not Join with the military
arm in resistance to the invader. The
Thirteen Colonies would not have made
much Roadway against the British had
not the adult males, civilians and all,
Joined in the common defense Of their
country; and no one suggested that a
moral wrong was being done when civil
fans took up arms against the foe. So

Gen. Villa does not yet know his

The wounded suffered terribly from

At n meeting held in X NJ. X. c..
hall last night, Prof. Paul Hansen,
of the University of Illinois delivered
a lecture illustrated by lantern slides
water question. Prof. Hansen is al
expert water engineer whd repre-
sents the Illinois Water Survey anG
his address was vastly interesting to
his hearers and contained instructive
information which will be of great
value to his hearers.
The speaker was introduced by DR..
Nv. +. Grinstead, who acted as chair
man of the meeting. In the course
OF the address Prof. Hansen ably set
forth The dangers that lurk in i'm
pure water and showed by slidet
made from highly magnified micro.
'scopic plates the various forms Of
microbes and germs, both deadly and
harmless, found in water in various
parts of the country. He explained
in detail the probable source of con-
tamination of water supplies which
have been proven the cause of ty-
phoid fever epidemics in many places
and showed by Reproduced maps and
charts the comparative prevalence
of those diseases which science has
discovered to be caused by the drink
ing of impure water, in certain
cities before and after the installing
of proper filtering plants.
Other slides were shown and ex-
planned which gave those present an
opportunity to judge just what q
proper water plant should be. Va
rious filtering processes were ex-
planned and illustrated and the
adaptabillty of each to certain kinds
of water was entered into. Some of
the audience, after viewing the dead
ly microbe in all his hideous forms
took the pledge to abstain from the
dangerous beverage under discus
sion.
This interesting and instructive
address, coming from man widely
recognized as an authority upon the
subject, is of unusual value to the
hearers at this particular time and
Mayor Wood is entitled to the
thanks of the people for mis- fore
thought and progressiveness in Sc
