New York, April 24.-Bad water will

war is declared, according to Col
Maus, chief surgeon of the first army
division which has headquarters on
Governors Island The water supply
and sanitation system of Mexico he
explained were so far behind modern
methods that if any army should be
sent into Mexico City an entirely new
system would have to be provided. He
estimated that millions of dollars will
be expended by the United States for
sanitation and that from a health
standpoint American occupation would
be good thing for that country.
To insure pure drinking water Col.
Maus said that filters would be a part
of every army division equipment and

did not express concern because of dis.
ease among the soldiers except from

army would provide in the capital city

quered.

church, this city of the death at the
family home in Norden, Germany, OF
his father, Peter Wilhelm Schoeningh.
who passed away Monday, April 6. The
sad news came as great shock to
Father Schoeningh, who had received
long letter from his father but few
weeks since as a prospective Easter
greeting. While his father was ad-
vanced in years. being over 80 years
of age, he had been in good health
until just recently.
OF the ten children surviving four

of st. Joseph's Catholic church having
three brothers and four sisters. Two
brothers and four sfsters have remain

lily home.
Father Schoeningh has been In
America for almost 80 years and came
to Davenport from West Burlington.
last December. He had contemplated
a trip to his old home just before his
change of pastorate was made, but he
decided then to wait until later date.

Mt. Ayr, April "a DR.. Samuel
Bailey received a telegram yesterday
evening announcing this his brother
in-law, John D. Merrill, had been

to Glendora asking that the body be
shipped to Mount Ayr for interment.
The body will probably reach Mount
Ayr Friday evening and funeral serv-

nized as embodying the correct prin.
ciples of highway legislation. The new
Iowa law does not reach permanent
roads or state aid. There are plenty
of states, however, In which the opera
ton of such laws have been worked
out and may be studied. 1t has re-
manned for Iowa, however, to start at
the bottom and build up fundamental
system upon which will be later added
the permanent road and state aid fea-
lures.
The commission has had the feeling
to contend with that considerable au-
thority was put into its hands without
any money to aid in the making of
improvements, but even huge sum
put into the hands of the commission
to spend would be but a drop in the
bucket compared with the total saving
made by the ninety-nine counties of
the state under the direct supervisory
powers Of the commission over the ex.
pediture of the ten million dollars put
into the hands of the local highway
officials. This is the great feature of
the Iowa law and Engineer Macdonald
after years trial declares it's results
are worthy of study by every state in
the union.

| Washington, D. c., April 24-Presi-

gerald of the house committee on ap.
preparations, who had come to the
white house to learn if any war funds
were needed that no appropriation
was required "for the present"
In discussing the general situation
| with callers. the president explained
that no aggressive act to aggravate
the status of affairs would be taken
by the American government.
The president wished it to be i'm
pressed generally that the United
States had not adopted threatening
attitude toward the constitutiona)ists
in Mexico but merely that it expected
them to remain neutral while this
government continued to seek repara-
ton from the Huerta government for
indignities offered by the Huerta auth
critics.
Official messages from American
consular agent Geo. G. Carothers des-
cribing his meeting with General Villa
reached the president early in the day.
In\these messages, it was specifically
stated that Villa would not join with
Huerta, and the intimation was con-
veyed that General Carranza by his
strong protest against the capture of
Vera Cruz was, in reality seeking to
prevent disintegration Of his forces.
Future steps are dependent upon a
more definite announcement of the in
tentions of General Carranza Like
wise it Is declared, American forces
will not extend their operations
beyond the vicinity of Vera Cruz until
it is clear whether General Huerta
will declare war or send troops to at
tempt to dislodge the American forces.
The president made it clear that he
had no intention as yet of calling for
volunteers or of appearing before con-
authority. 1t was further stated that
Galveston to reinforce the naval forces
at Vera Cruz Is not intended as an in

that in accord with international pre-
