fully to accomplish this for several
days. The danger OF an epidemic has
been forcibly called to the attention
of the people through statements by

Another source OF danger that
threatens Galveston alone, is the in
ability to obtain an adequate water
supply. Local residents not only are
forced to employ polluted water for
drinking and cooking, but there is no
means of flushing the sewers. An eff
fort is being made to connect the wa

the bay is being rushed by the rail-
ways and it is believed that Calves

The fact that Captain Finch was

In view Of President Wilson's dec

there seemed to be no way out OF a

least, if this proved to be such case.
Continued peace or diplomatic

LONDON, Aug. 21.-Germany faced
embodiment with three OF the great
est neutral powers tonight because OF
the acts OF her submarine and destroy
er commanders.
The United states probably will de-
mand an explanation Of the sinking by
a submarine OF the liner Arabic with
the loss OF two American lives.
Spain has lodged formal protest
against the sinking Of the Spanish
steamer Isidoro BY a German sub
marine.
The Danish government is expected
to protest against violation Of Danish
waters by two German an-submartneS
that shelled the British submarine Ella
while she lay helpless on . Danish
island.
The Copenhagen dispatches tonight
said the Danish press was most indig
nant at the action of the German de-
stroyers in firing upon the helpless
submarine and expressed the hope
that the Danish government would
find the right words and the right
course with which to uphold the dig
nifty and honor Of the nation.'
What explanation Germany viii
make to the United States was mat
ter of speculation here tonight. Brit
ish officials did not profess to know.
But the kaiser's government is ex-
pected to apologize for the invasion OF
Denmark's territorial waters and for
the sinking of the Spanish steamer.
