desperate effort to get through to the

are bringing UP reinforcements and

guarded that there is no indication as
to where the blow Ia TO be delivered.
It will doubtless be heavy one.

The allies havo made every prepara-

for the defense OF the east coast OF
England: for the opinion still holds
here that If the Germans fail In their

ports, for which German submarines
are trying to prepare the way.
There is considerable diplomatic ac-
tiYity in the Balkans, and important
developments are expected soon. 1t is
regarded in official circles here that,
with the Austrian army on her soil,
Servia will be more likely to listen to
Bulgaria's demand for a slice Of Maca-

also Is talk of an arrangement be-
tween Roumania and Bulgaria-in fact.
OF a reorganization of the Balkan
league, which would bring all the

Offices To Compel More Strict
Observance.

Unless There Is Improvement, Great
Britain and France May BE Conn
PEELED In Self-Defense to Take
Measures They Deem Necessary.

LONDON. November as (l:1p p. M.
Great Britain and France have APP
peaied to the United States to exercise
It's good offices to compel Colombia to
observe more strictly the requirements
of neutrality. Otherwise, the allies. It
was announced in tho House Of Com
mons to-day, may be compelled. In self
defense. to take whatever measures
they deem necessary for the protection
OF their interests
Charles Roberts. Under Secretary Of
the Colonial Department. speaking on
behalf of the Foreign ONCE, made this
announcement. He told tho House OF
Commons that information In the pos.
session Of the government indicated
that tho governments of Colombia and
Ecuador had failed In certain respects
to Observe an attitude of strict neu-
trality, and that their failure to do SO
was likely 60 be detrimental to tho in
teresta OF England. The particular
cause OF complaint against Colombia
has reference~to high-power wireioss
station.
DOUBT WHETHER STEPS
WILL PROVE EFFECTIVE
The British charge daRaires on
deavored rssea tsdly. said Mr.. Roberts.
to Induce the government to remove
the stan Of Germans at tho wireless
station and institute strict control In
order to prevent the transmission of
messages to beiligerent merchant ships
lying In Colombia ports. Failing In
this, the charge sought 80 havo tho
statlon closed. The report received
from the charge leaves 1t I'm doubt
whether stepa taken by the Colombian
government are of an effective nature.
1t, therefore, appeared to the British
government, said Mr. Roberts. that
further representations to Colombia
were not likely to be of any avail. II
was, therefore. decided to appeal, In
co-operation' with tho French govern
ment, to the good Offices OF tho United
States to procure more strict en-
forcement of Colombian neutrality.
Mr.. Roberts went on to say that
similnr communication had been sent
to Washington with respect to Ecua-
dor. whose Foreign Minister had him
SELF Informed the British charge and
his French colleagues that German
warships had converted certain islands
belonging. to Ecuador into naval
bases"
Mr.. Roberts said that the govern
ment Of Ecuador had failed to comply
with tho request of Great Britain and
France to exercise proper control OF
wireless apparatus.

American people are Christian peo-
Die and they believe in the existence

be favored of God we must show our
allegiance to His cause. If we enlist
under military or political general we

confidence, to protect us. II we enlist

We should go to church every Sun
day, and we should give that amount
of our time in attention to the word of
God. We should go puhctually at the
appointed hour, quietly, orderly, with
self effacement, coutrition, and we
should give the minister our respectful
hearing with an absence OF selI-con-
seriousness or any vain or selfish inter
est whatever.
We should go to church either for
our OVID benefit or for the regard we
bear our neighbors. We should show
by our presence that we recognize the
Christian religion, whether we make a
personal application Of it or not. We
should do this because this is Chris
tan nation. We should do so because
we are to be personally benefited, but
we should do SO more on account Of the
benefits to be derived by our neighbors

Sunday Go to Meeting.

Our ministers are interested in cam

the United States. We do not mean
that lot OF new clothes are needed to

pecially are getting in the habit lately
of not having on upwards OF great
deal anyway, But the idea is not to at
tract attention away from the church
service either by overdress or under
dress. The fact is that we should dress
plainly at church so that our less fortu-
nate friends can 60 without feeling that
they are not at home in the house Of
God. The central idea is that we should
attend church every Sunday, some
church of our choice, and we should
90 there to learn something about the
Scripture, il we are not too smart to
learn. We should 60 in a respectful
frame OF mind and make it custom
to go every Sunday.
We should be church-going people
for many reasons, primarily for our
own good and then for the good OF our
neighbors and friends. We should go
to church because church-going peo-
pie are law-abiding people; we should
respect the house of God, for in return the
King Of the Universe showers his favors
accordingly. The city with permanent

New Water and Light Plant.

Some time ago while attending a
meeting OF the Board OF Mayor and
Aldermen the subject came up concern
ing the condition Of the Water and Light
Plant, and Major Alexander suggested
at that time that the plant was about
loaded. The other day we stopped in
to see Mr.. Claude Allen, chief OF the
department, and he told us that both
the water and light machinery had all
they could carry. The fact is, and we
might as we'll know it now, that almost
complete new water and light plant is
needed from end to end, and it will take
about.$25, 900 to cover the bill.
The acquisitions for both light and
water have been growing wonderfully,
and with the present equipment the de-
partment cannot take care OF further in
crease. The city could do as heretofore
buy machinery for temporary use, but
that is very poor economy. We need
$25, 900 plant and should have it in
addition to some OF the machinery that
can still be used. A $25, 1000 plant is
really needed to accommodate the growing
demands upon the plant for both water
and lights. The engines and boilers are
both inadequate, so is the pumping
apparatus and the supply of water. We
have only one deep well. There are two
150-foot wells and we need another deep
we'll. We cannot go INTO details here,
but simply state what Mr.. Allen under
stands the city needs.
1t is true that the Water and Light
Plant has shown very large earnings
from year to year, but it has done SO at
the expense Of the physical condition OF
the plant. In other words the plant has
not been improved with capacity keep
ing pace with the demands made upon
it, and the result is that it is overloaded
and is liable to collapse, if not with the
present load, then with the regular
acquisitions made upon it. The city
should finish the contracts already let
for streets and sidewalks and get ready
to make the improvements needed in
the Water and Light Plant. They
should be made OF the best OF modern
machinery and equipment large enough
to handle the business for several years,
and in order to do this we will have to
discharge the street and sidewalk ac-
counts, get them paid in full and then
arrange for the means to carry on the
work Of installing new water and light
equipment.
The fact is that the Water and Light
Plant should not only carry its burdens,
but should also carry its own improve
ments, and the revenues accruing should
be applied to these purposes only, and
the taxes should not be reduced until
this state OF affairs exists.
