Water Users Governors Recommend Holders of Fractional Acreages Be Excluded Unless They Sign All Their Lands

Twelve hundred acres of valley lane, known as fractional holdings" will be deeply affected by a resolution passed at yesterdays session of the governors of the Water Users Association, peti- tioning the reclamation commission to require the owners thereof to live up to a clause in the articles of incorpora- ton, that directs ranchers to subscribe their total holdings or none at all.
 In making up it's lists of subscribed lands, as a basis for establishing the limits of the project, the survey board overload deviations in land Istings, amounting to less than five per cent of the total holdings. When the re- ports were made up. it was found that a number of ranchers were credited with less subscribed land than they ac- tually owned and cuItivated-for prac- ticany all the land in this group is under cultivation.
 Two reasons were assigned for "'frac- tional holdings. In some cases, the owner miscalculated his land, especially in cases where odd shaped parcels were owned. In others. however. the practice of buying short" was respon- sible for the error. An owner would purchase water for less acres than he actually owned, and would stretch his deliveries of water to cover the entire tract
 A month ago. at a regular meeting, the board recommended the commis- sion that it include the 1900 acres in the project. giving number of strong reasons why this should be done-but principally emphasizing the need of in creasing the revenue from water ser vice payments and of unifying the ser- vice.

MARKET WEAK
 WHEN SHOULD
 HAVE STRENGTH
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH


 NEW YORK, Sept. 7.-Tn the face suming a stronger tone the foreign exchange market weakened and sterling went down i cents from Sat urdays close, to $4.63. A large of fering of bills is said to have been the cause of the drop.
 Even the news of the latest impOr- tation of gold from England, nearly twice the amount expected, failed to check the slump.
 Another cause for strength which was responded to only hy weakness was the belief that a remedy was near at hand, as only a 1ew days at most will elapse before the arrival of the Anglo French commission. Largely because of the activities of the British censor, it was said to- night, the commission will reach New York almost ignorant of the situation here. Local bankers have found it next to impossible. to ad wise financiers abroad of the plight of foreign moneys in this market. Censorship on cables has built a wall about Great Britain, it Is said, through which the truth has been unable to penetrate, as far as the foreign exchange situation is con- cerned. One thing the London bank CTS have apparently not learned is that the United States does not want their gold. This will be one of the first things, it is said with which the commission will he made ac- quainted when it reaches New York.

ROCHESTER,, N. Y, Sept The
 American Public Health Association
 members in convention here tonight
 heard their president. Dr. William T. SedgWick, summarize the opportunities
 presented to the present-day public
 health workers.
 After the present bloody conflicts
 are over the races Of mankind will turn
 as never before to the nobler pursuits
 of life, health and happiness" he said.
 In reviewing what had lately been
 done toward the promotion of public
 health and also in looking to the future.
 Dr. Sedgwick laid great strees on sani-
 tation
 Up to 1886" he said. "preventative
 medicine, chiefly in the form of vac
 cination was the principal weapon for the promotion of public health but a
 long step forward was taken when, in
 that year, with a reorganization of the
 state board of health of sachusetts,
 sanitary engineering became a recoe-
 niZed and indispensable branch of pub lie health science.
 'BacteriologicaI laboratories for the quick detection of dangerous infec- l tions, have now been installed almost everywhere, at least. in the more pro
 gressive American cities and towns. We have begun the medical and sanitary supervision of schools and school buildings. We have invented and put within the reach of all but the very poor the most complete, convention and salubrious heating and ventiating ap- pliances in the world, for houses. thea
 ters halls, hotels and workshops We have made ice, once Q luxury for kings and emperOrs, universal Solace for all classes in hot weather. We have perfected and extended the preserVa- tion of foods by cold and by canning. so that seasonal scarcity is almost un-
 known. We have invented and cheap ened rubber clothing and especially rubber shoes as a defense against our almost tropical rains. We have applied machinery to the manufacture of abundant and better and cheaper shoes and clothing. We have shown by eX- pertinent with a national splitting nui- sance, the possibility of modifying un- sanitary habits by education and reas- enable sanitary ordinances.
 "On the other hand, We have failed
 to achieve many much needed sani- tary conditions. Our water supplies are to a great extent either in good condition or on the way to improve ment, but our sewerage disposal sys- tems are still in many cases far from satisfactory. In this respect the paral- Tel between the individual and the community is close. for while many in telligent persons attend carefully to l the water they drink. most are negli- gent of the disposal of wastes which is quite as necessary as the intake oT wholesome food and drink
 Probably the most fragrant failure

It Discussed Plans for With drawing Austrian Labor from American Plant Making War Supplies for the Allies
TAssocIArED PRESS D1spArcHl

WASHINGTON. Sept. 1.-Dr- Con Stantin Dumba, the Austrian amhaS- s,,,ior. laid before Secretar. of Sfat~ Lansing an explanation "f the letter written by him to the Vienna for eiSn office discussing plans for withdrawing Austrian labor from American plants making war mate rial for Great Britain and her allies. Neither the ambassador nor Secre- tary I ansing would comment on the interview. The impression prevailed that the secretary would submit the matter to the president who would decide whether the explanation was satisfactory.
 The text of Dumba's letter re- cently. seized bv the British authori- ties from it's bearer. James Archi hald. an American, and cabled to the state department has been the sub- ject of a conference between Secre- tary Lansing and the president De- fore the ambassador reached the de- partment
 It was understood the use of an American passport to shield the messenger. who carried not only the Dumb1 letter. but dispatches from the Austrian embassy and other doc umen1s. was regarded as quite as serious a matter as were the activi- ties revealed by the letter itself Lansing only statement on the sub 5ect was a negative response when asked whether any steps had been taken toward bringing the situation to the attention of the Austro Hun earian foreign office.
 From reliable sources II was learned tonight that Dr. Dumba. in making his explanation outlined the AnStro- Hungarian view of the plans dealt with in the letter, contending it contemplated no violation of the laws of the United States. So far no steps have been taken but tFe am- hassador has been instructed to give the widest publicity of the new de- cree of his government making ma - uonals liable under martial law for rendering assistance in the manufac ture of munitions of war for the en- emy. This decree. previously an nounced. provided punishment by long terms of imprisonment and even death by hanging for Austro- Hungarians committing the offense at home or abroad.
 Co-operation in carrying out the purpose of the law. it was pointed out. is held to be mere fulfillment of the -duty of the ambassador charged with the protection of his nationals It k not denied. however, that Aus tria -Hungary's representatives. while they had no desire to injure Ameri- can interests. would not hesitate to handicap in any way possible the ef- forts of their enemies to obtain mu nifiOnS
