This has been the hardest month we
passed through IN years. We have
had a great many hard storms that tore
down our outside wires and caused not
less than SIX serious cases of trouble
on the street light wires to say nothing
OF the damage done the i~ncaudescent
lighting service. In the early part of
the month the 100 horse engine broke
its crank shaft. I Immediately wired
the factory and got a new one, but they
sent it too short. I wired them to ship
one long enough, and they wired back
that they would send a coupling so we
could use the one they had already
sent. This coupling should have been
shipped us last Monday, but for some
reason not yet explained to me, this
coupling was not shipped until Feb. 1St.
| have the engine ready for it and viii
get it back into commission within six
hours after the coupling reaches here.
The breakdown of this engine has
forced US to do all the work with the
150 horse engine. We have had some
tronble to get along with only one en-
CINE and have had several shut downs
as a result of having to make this en-
CINE do more than its share of the work.
It has done remarkably well under the
circumstances, but is not large enough
to do it all.

BRITAIN's GRAVE ISSUE
Lloyd- George Writes on the Question
of COnscripfiOn.

London, Sept. 2O-Replying to a
| constituent Lloyd-George has written
the following letter:
"You say the government ought to
give the nation the lead in answering
the question as whether the NOR
al obligation of every ahle-bodied man
to defend his country should be con-
yerted during the war into legal OBJ
legation. The government is fully
alive to the necessity of giving a de-
finite lead and undue delay might be
disastrous. On the other hand
undue precipitation would be equ-
ally disastrous. The issue is
one of fact and not one Of principle.
If figures demonstrate that we can
win with a voluntary system, it would
be folly to provoke controversy in
the middle of this world war by at
tempts to substitute 4 totally different
method.
"On the other hand, if; figures dem
onstrate that the voluntary system
has exhausted its utility. nothing but
legal pressure can give Britain the
armies necessary to defend its hon
or and save Europe from a triumph
If military despotism. have not yet
heard of a single man who would re-
sist compulsion under those clrcum-
stances. The man who say they would
resist the expedition, even if proven
necessary to save this country and
the freedom of the world, has not yet
appeared in the arena. If they 40,
predict their protectors would be
found among the working classes.
at is all a question Of ascertainable
'act. Why all this premature anger!
The determining facts have not yet
3een published. When they are sift-
I'd and published the advocates OF
,ne view or the other will find all their
fervor and ferocity wasted n attack
,p positions which, they chen will dis
,ovcr. they ought to defend. The issue
IS the gravest any country was ever
.alled upon to decide. Let it be set
led in spirit worthy Of that gravity

FEAST OF TABERNACLES
Last of Jewish Holidays viii Begin
on Wednesday Evening.

The Feast of Tabernacles comprises
eight days, beginning on the eve Of
Wednesday the 22nd day of Sept
tember and ending October lst.
Once year Israel revivcs its love
of the soil, and makes public avowal
of the fact that even an industrial
civilization, such as ours depends pri-
marily upon the elements of nature.
The Sukkoth Festival is meant not
as a season of elf-congratulation on
having garnered in the products of the
farm or the gains of business, but
as time for thought on the larger,
scoped social interests of men in the
national and international life.
The "dweling in booths" as char
acteristic of the Biblical phase of the
festival and observed as an archie
symbolism nowadays, is a suggestive
domestic ritual which re-affirms the
lessons of "the simple life' and the
democracy Of the Jewish household.
The Sukkoth Festival is the cul-
minating lesson Of the series Of noli-
days of the month. Rabbi Wise, of
Cincinnati, will conduct the services
in the synagogue in this city.

TEST GRASS REMOVAL LAW
City Employee Will Carry Case tn
Corporation Court

John A. Wells, foreman of the
street department, under City Engin-
eer Dunn, is to test the law requir-
ing occupants of houses to remove
grass from the sidewalks in front of
their residences. Some days ago in ac-
cordance with instructions issued by
the Mayor and the health Office Police
man Campbell ordered number of
residents in third ward to remove
grass from in front of their homes.
The majority complied with the re-
quest, but Mr.. Wells refused and said
that he would go to Jail before he
would comply with the law. He was
hailed into police court and this morn
ing stated to Justice Cation his belief
in the unjustness of the law. He said
that the city was removing weeds
from in front Of some peoples hous-
es and should remove them from all.
He further said that the owner of the
house and not the renter should be re-
ouired to remove the weeds. Justice
Cation called his attention to the fact
that the law required the occupant of
the house to comply with the law.
|, ,pon Wells refusal to obey the stat
ute a fine of 50 was imposed by JUS
tice Cation. An appeal was noted to
the corporation court.
