DOUGLAS MAYOR GOES
 AFTER WATER BRANCH .OF CITY GOVERNMENT
Mayor Ellis Demands Explan- ation For Great Drop in In- come of Water Department Investigation Ordered Made.

DOUGLAS, Jan. 6.-Mayor Ellis took decided fall out of the city wa ter department at the meeting of the city council last night wanting to know why it. was that the depart ments costs are constantly rising white the net receipts are decreasing. The finance committee was instructed Co make an investigation, the council being in a retrenchful frame of mind with deficit of S14OOO. due to lack of saloon licenses this year. The mayor said the net profit of the wa ter department in November was S145.6S. and for the previous month still less.
 The Mayor Talks
 "This is upon am investment of ap- proMmately S4OO. .0QO," said he "The report shows a still further increase in pumping and delivery costs, the latter having reached 17 cents per 1000 gallons Under the city ordinance the flat selling rate in quantities of from 3O.OOO to 130.OOO gallons month ly is 15 cents per 100 gallons. Over u30,OOO gallons the cost is 10 cents per 1000 gallons The city depart ments schools and churches are also furnished all their wate at 10 cents per 1000 gallons. If it cost 17 cents 10 deliver water and the city receives but 10 cents or 10 cents any one can appreciate the loss on each 1000 gal. Ions delivered | believe the water de- partment should be Investigated and possibly entirely reorganized We called for am explanation recently and received one which did not satisfy us. Now comes this report which shows the condition to have reached even a worse point than previously and there is no explanation accompanying 1t.
 "l happen to know that in the past tine same plant has made S1S.OOO per year net profit The present condition exists despite the installation of a finch main recently which was sup posedIy Co cut down the costs ma. terially."

"The False Reports Of
American Minister at
Brussels is Charge
LORD CECIL's SPEECH
German Journals Comment Bitterly
Upon Utteranees in House of Com
mons on Cavell Case.

Berlin, Oct. 30--An appeal IS
made to the German government by
the Vossische Zeitung to demand the
recall by the United States of Brand
Whitlock, American minister to Bel
rium. The newspaper hints that the
minister must go, and under the head
ing. "The False Reports OF the
American Minister in Brussels" says:
at is to be hoped that the Ger
man government will seize the oc-
casion afforded by the Incident 20
put an end to the activities OF the
American minister in Brussels. Ac-
cordinp to his credentials. this gen.
tleman belongs in Havre, the pre-
sent seat of the Belgian government
to which he is accredited. Should
America desire, to be further repre-
sented in Brussels, it must choose
for the purpose parsonage acceptable
to the German government. We can
not believe that the author OF the
colored reports about the Cavell case
will be regarded any longer as such a
person."
Lord Robert Cecil's speech in the
House of commons on the Cavell case
is, commented upon bitterly by the
German press. Especial resentment is
seen in their reference to the declara
ton that the execution of Miss Cavell
hv-the German military authorities
was "thc gruesome murder OF noble
woman"
Washington, Oct. 3O-Gcrmany is
"changing front" in her attitude to-
ward the execution Of Miss Edith Ca
veil. according to the above press re-
port.
Instead of persisting in the Berlin
version that the American minister
Brand Whitlock, had denied stories
emanating from English sources that
he had interceded in Miss Cavells
behalf :and had been "doubled-cros-
scd" by the German authorities, the
press today is asking for his recall
btaause of his report on, the case.

excitement. have maintained Amerl.
jca's strict neutrality, asserted Amerl-

! honor, and | believe that Presideni
Wilson will be able successfully to
steer our ship of state through these
troubled waters. without embroillng
us in. war, and bring to America
greater prestige abroad and greater
prosperity at home.
''President Wilson has horne great
er burdens than any President since
the time of Abraham Lincoln, each
additional burden has but given proof
of his capacity, courage and states
manship.
"This is further disclosed by the
program outlined for our national de-
tense. There are two extreme parties
in this country upon thcquest!on Of
national defense. One party desires
to make America vast arsenal and
military camp, and the other party
desires TO nave no army and no navy,
but to leave our national honor and
existence to paper parchments ana
moral persuasion and discussion.
Between these two extremes stands
the great Democratic President and
party for a safe. conservative and
sound policy Of national defense and
proper military strength. We pro
pose to have a navy sufficient to take
care Of our vast commerce and to
secure under all circumstances and
conditions the safety Of our Govern
ment and people.
in closing, | earnestly appeal to
the citizens of Maryland and Balti-
more to stand by the State and natio-
nal Democracy, the party of progress,
responding promptly and patriotical-
iy to the needs Of the people. The
Democracy Of Maryland has shown
itself worthy Of the confidence Of the
