ing summary of the military situation
In Mexico around San Luis Potosi and
Monterey was issued late today at the
state department:

that there is no communication be-
tween that place and Aguas Calientes
At the time this report was sent the

proceed beyond Aguas Caientes and
a great many Americans who were on

the authority consulted, must offer
the imported grain either to the grain

The appropriation, while purely a
war measure, represents a soclalislie

"a. 1875 "a. m)-1'he governmental
order for the appropriation of ali
stocks OF corn, wheat and flour. which
was announced most Unexpectedly
last night. is naturally the chief topic
of discussion by the newspapers and
the people. All are inclined TO accept
II in the best spirit and without grum-
bling, as necessary measure to
check the misuse of grain stocks
which has been going on despite the
earlier governmental measures, and
TO conserve the grain until the next
harvest.
The Tageblatt, however. is inclined
TO criticise the government for its de-
lay in finding out that the 1914 har-
vest was only an average instead Of
a bumper crop, as at first announced,
and its failure TO adopt long ago steps
which are only now found necessary.
Brings War Home to People.
The measure which brings the war
home to the Germans, as nothing else
since the days of mobilization, reach
es right down To the smallest house
hold. Each family, no matter how
small or how poor, Is called upon to
declare its stock of grain or flour
Quantities below go pounds are ex-
empt from seizure.
The appropriation was determined
upon, II Is authortatively stated, be-
cause of the fact that in spite of all
warnings ana appeals the consump-
ton of bread made of wheat and 9TH
er flour showed no signs OF decreasing
ana was continuing at a rate which
threatened the eshausiiop of supplies
before the next ht8Y st.
The available alternatives open to
the government We're either to allow
the natural rise in prices to check the
consumption, which would have
thrown the whole burden Of war
prices upon the poorer people or to
appropriate the supplies and thus in
sure equitable distribution at prices
which would not be excessive

This fact alone was enough 10
justify any communications between
Belgium and the other powers on the
footing that there would be no viola
ton of Belgian neutrality unless II
was previously violated by another
power. On no other footing did Bel
GUM ever have any such communica-
tons

The Howell bill to grant the Metropolitan
Water district the power TO erect and operate an
electric lighting plant for the purpose OF provid-
ing service for the several municipalities COM
prised in that district, Is being strongly urged
as a legislative necessity. As matter OF fact
1t IA not--at least so far as the city Of Omaha Is
concerned. The bill does not grant to the city
OF Omaha any power. privilege or right that is
not now fully possessed by the city. 1t does
grant TO the Metropolitan Water district power
and privilege that the district does not now
possess and which is entirely outside OF the
purview and foreign to the purpose for which
the Metropolitan Water district was erected.
If the bin as presented should be enacted by
the Legislature. the city OF Omaha will be con-
fronted with the possibility OF three agencies
seeking to supply electric current for public and
private uses. Further than this, II will have the
effect OF concentrating control Of public utilities
in the hands of single organization. II an
attempt we're made by the privatey-owned COM
panies TO consolidate their activities under one
management, It is certain that vigorous protest
would be aroused. II is doubtful II such con-
solidation could be contaminated. or. IL Il were,
whether the varying nature OF the services In
volved would permit Of the proper administration
under consolidated single management.
The proponents Of the pending bill talk In
cessantly about giving the city control OF the
lighting plant. There can be no objection to
this. The city will sooner or later, In the very
nature OF things. have TO take over control OF the
lighting services. but the pending bill does not
provide for this II merely gives control" OF the
lighting for the city OF Omaha to the Metropol-
titan Water district, which IL not the city.
