WATER PRESSURE TOO Low.
Iowa city's Council Gets After the
Water Company.

Iowa City, Aug. 17-Actlon was taken
by the city council last night looking
toward a more efficient fire protection
as to water pressure furnished by the
Iowa City Water Company. Complaints
of lack of pressure at recent fires, not
ably at the one which partly destroyed
the NeWcomb property early In the
week, caused the council to take ac-
ton. The committee on waterworks
was ordered to have the water COM
pany comply with its ordinance in
maintaining the proper pressure at all
times. Officials of the water company
claim that they do not get the signal
when q fire alarm Is turned in in time
to supply the pressure. The matter
will be investigated by the council
committee.
The committee was also directed to
order the water company to comply
with the terms of its franchise in re-
gard to the quality and condition of
the water furnished, and the committee
was authorized to take steps neces-
sary to enforce the ordinance granting
the franchise.

TO ERECT STATUE
CAMP PROPOSES
HANDSOME BRONZE

| Portsmouth, Va. Nov. 16.~-Austin r.
/ Davis, Camp No. 4, United Spanish War
Veterans, of this city, have laid down
tentative plans for the erection of a
handsome monument in this city to the
| memory of those who lost their lives
in the Spanish war. It Is the inten
ton of the camp to arrange for the
casting OF a monument that win do
credit to the organization, and at the
, same time Will be a decidedly attrac-
tive memorial.
If the plans that have been arranged
are carried to q successful conclusion.
and there Is no reason to believe that
they will not, a bronze monument will
rise somewhere in the city, at point
to be selected later by the camp. 1t
is not the intention of the veterans
to erect the monument In one OF the
cemeteries. but to have 1t placed at
some conspicuous point downtown.
The camp has had before IL monu-
ment designs and has practically de-
cided upon a bronze statue. the work
OF Allen O. Newman. sculptor. entitled
The Hiker.'' 1t is to represent the
type of American soldiers who did duty
during the Spanish war. The original
design was made by Mr.. Newman for

under the portico Of the structure The
Hiker" was placed In the center of the
two-story rotunda of the New York
building at jamestown.
The statue stands seven feet. three
inches high over all and is to be mount
ed on q boulder
1t is expected that the erection of
such a statue in this city will en-
tail an outlay OF about $4,000. The
camp Is devising plans for raising

Must File Full
Record of Stores
Taken on Board

Norfolk. Va. Nov. 1e.-Collector Of
Customs Norman r. Hamilton yester-
day issued instructions that In the
future all foreign vessels clearing
through this port must file full and
complete reports OF stores taken on
board here. This order was put into
effect soon after the outbreak of the
European war. but was later rescind-
ed.
The resistance of the orders Ia
caused by the desire for the strict en-
forcement Of the absolute neutrality
Of the United States. The filing of the
report, 1t Is thought. will eliminate
the possibility Of any steamer taking
on extra stores that might later be
transferred to a warship of belliger-
ent nation.

Literature of Poverty.

In this age of print, the literature of
poverty has swollen to an enormous
bulk. Statistical books, explicit and
contradictory. Hopeful books by So
cial workers who see salvation in
girls clubs and refined dancing. Hope
less books by other social workers
who believe-or, at least, who say
that the employed are enslaved by the
employer, and that women and chill
Gren are the prey of men. Highly col
ored books by adventurous young jour
nalistS who have masqueraded (for
cOpy's sake) as mill and factory hands.
Gray books by casual observers who
are paralyzed by the mere sight of a
slum Furious books by rabid social
lists who hold that the poor will never
be uplifted while there is left in the
world man rich enough to pay them
wages. Imaginative books by poets
and noveliSts who deal in realism to
the exclusion of reality. All this pro-
fusion of matter is thrust upon us
month after month, while the work
ing'man reads his newspaper, and the
working-girl reads "A Coronet OF
Shame, or Lost in Fate's Fearful
Abyss. Agnes Repplier, in Atlantic.

SULUIEK,S BAPTISM Ut FIRE
Average Mans Most Terrifying Po-
sition on Field of Battle Is
When Still.

Everyone of US must have wondered
how he would feel in battle for the
first time. We may get some idea of
how the average man feels in such cir
cumstances from a study of the psy
chology Of battle, just published in
Italy, says London Tit-Bits. Lieuten-
ant Colonel Mangiarotti of the Seven
ty-seventh infantry carefully examined
more than two thousand soldiers who
first faced fire in the recent war be-
tween Italy and Turkey, and he sum-
marizes their statements in the Ri
vista Militare. He questioned them
one by one.
Out of 1000 men 100 confessed
that their most trying moment in the
whole campaign was when they first
heard hostile bullets whistle about
their ears. But almost all of them said
they were much less frightened than
they had expected to be, and that the
scare diminished with each battle
The average soldier finds the most
terrifying position to be that Of stand
ing motionless in the front rank, ex-
posed to the enemy's fire without be-
ing able to reply The order to ad-
vance or to charge with fixed bayonets
| is then received as a release from
agony. Movement, even into greater
peril, distracts the mind and greatly
reduces the mental anguish.
Soldiers are seriously affected by
the trembling of their superiors An
officer who shakes in his shoes is a
coward in the eyes of the rank and
file, although the men know that many
military heroes-Henri w, Turenne
and Frederick the Great, for instance
! -trembled on going into fight
Colonel Mangiarotti says that off,
GERS must understand this feeling. This
| is especially true of Heutenants, for
this inquiry reveals the fact that in
battle all officers from captains up
ward are nonexistent SO far as the
! common soldiers are concerned They
keep their eyes on their lieutenants
exclusively. This was brought out
when Colonel Mangiarotti asked the
men what sentiment animated them
when the bullets were falling all
| around them-was it love of country
religion or their oath of fidelity to
| their king? Il went ahead" they re
| piled, almost unanimously, because
| my lieutenant went ahead
1t seems that once battle is on and
the first feeling of terror has vanished
soldiers feel as if set free. The fever
of combat takes possession of then
and they think about nothing else.

Cancers That Cure Themselves.

In the annual report of Doctor Bash
ford of the Imperial Cancer Research
fund an announcement Of great i'm
portance is made. 1t Is to the effect
that transplanted tumors fall into two
categories, very small group that
grow progressively because they do
not produce resistance to their own
growth, and large group that tend to
disappear spontaneously because they
induce in the body powerful resist
ance to their growth.
While this remark is applied only to
tumors artiffcially produced in animals
for experimental purposes, it may be
that some at least of the apparently
extraordinary cures of cancer in hui
man beings have been due to this
power of the body to resist the growth
of the cancer. If further experiments
shall result in the discovery of the
method by which certain resistant
bodies throw off the cancerous growth,
it will be long step toward finding a
way of comforting this power upon
those who do not possess it.

A Royal Quarrel.

England has never been at war with
Prussia before, but she came near it
in 1929, when some Prussian soldiers,
travelling through Hanover, were de-
tanned by the kings order. Frederick
William l and George II had long
hated one another, on personal
grounds, SO the former seized upon
this incident as pretext for challeng-
ing his royal cousin to fight a duel.
Matters went so far that each king
named his seconds, but, owing to the
exertions of the diplomats, a meeting
was averted. Thereupon Frederick
William modified $4,000 troops on the
Hanoverian frontier, and George also
made a show of warlike preparations.
Eventually a settlement was reached
by exchanging the Prussians George
had detained for some Hanoverians
impressed by Frederick William for
his army, and the troops massed for
combat were disbanded-Pall Mall Ga
xette.
