SECRETARY KITCHENER
GIVES REVIEW OF WAR
Nv ...,soc,ATrp parsx,

LONDON, Mar. / 5. Secretary OF
War Earl Kitchener gave brief re-
view of the war situation in the
House Of Lords this evening. He
said that only trench fighting had
been possible for many weeks past.
but that this had not affected the NOR
ale of the British troops. Recent oc-
currences in the fight around Neuye
ChapelIe and Eptnette showed how
successfully the British troops nave
been able to take the offensive.
The minister of war referred to the
gallantry showed by the soldiers OF
India and he spoke eulogistically of
the French army which, he said, had
made important progress at various
points along the line especially In
Champagne, where these soldiers of
the republic had given evidence OF
marked tenacity.
The situation in the Dardanelles
was well in hand, the speaker de-
clared, but he was unable to say
Progress in the work of equipping
Britain's new armies had been ser
iously i1ampered by failure to get suf-
Ifcient lamor and the necessary fac
tory facilities He said:
The supply of war material is now
and for the next month or two Will
be very serious consideration. It
is causing me serious anxiety. 1t is
absolutely essential that the output of
ammunition be increased. To do SO
is Of the utmost importance to the
Operations in the field. =
The health Of the British troops
was remarkably good was another
Ideclara ton made by the war secretary
and a striking testimonial to the val
uc of inoculatiOn.

WATER BOARD CHANGE
URGED BIZ REPUBLICAN,

Now to my point. The act of the Leg
islature creating the Water Works
and Sewerage Board Of Clarksburg
provides that not more than two
members OF that board shall belong
to the same political party. This
means il it means anything. that the
Republicans, who are in a ajority in
|Clarksburg, shall have two members
OF this board. il they can elect them.
and that the third member shall be
a Democrat, the Democratic party
casting the next highest vote in this
city.
The Democratic party in conven-
ton assembled, has nominated a
splendid young man for the water
board and I believe heE1s the unani-
nous choice OF his party. The Re-
publicans now having. two holdover
members, who not nominate or en-
dorse Isaac ]. Coston. the Demo
cratic nominee2 This will carry out
both the spirit as well as the letter
of the law and will be consistent with
the position taken by your paper
from time to time on this question.
The writer does not know the poli-
tics of the retiring member Of the
board. but presumes he Is not 4 Re-
publican as the other two members
are both Republicans. It is also evil
dent that he is not the choice OF the
Democratic party for this position or
they would have nominated him for
the place. Mr.. Lewis. the retiring
member. has served six years and
that3is long enough. Let us have a
change. It will do us all good and I
believe will reduce the exorbitant
water rates now being charged IN
this city. Did any one ever stop and
think that water consumers pay more
taxes in the way OF water rents than
they pay for running the entire city
