planned that the present reservoir has
been in use eight years. but owing to
the city not having any place to store
water, it was impossible to clean the
present basin. The members of the
advisory board decided to ask the
Water Department to make provisions
for a new basin at an early date.

The withdrawal of the Russians

Whatever opinion she may have had

1t any more if the government or a
company in which the government
was chief stockholder had been the
owner?
Il is hard to endure the seizure and
sinking OF American vessels. The
practice of the belligerents in press
ing their military interests at the
expense of our commercial interests
will not be changed by the Federal
Government taking over the owner
ship of American vessels. How can
we endure the seizing, OBTAINING, con-
flscation and sinking of vessels not
only flying the American flag, but
owned by the government OF the
United States? 1t would get us into
this war in spite of ourselves. We are
able to stand with some equanimity
the losses suffered by private ship
owners. but the American people
would be wounded to the quick by
the seizure of the property of the
American government by any of the
belligerent powers.
Yet Secretary McAdoo undeterred
by his previous failure seeks to en-
list the American cotton growers in
a body in support of his government
ship-owning scheme. II is desirable
TO send our cotton to Europe if we
can do so peaceably. Germany has
declared cotton contraband and in
sists on the right to sink any vessel
carrying il if il cannot readily convey
it into a German port England has
not yet declared cotton contraband,
but as II will not allow shipments
of any kind to Germany a cotton care
go makes any vessel liable to seizure
when bound to any belligerent port.
The situation is not a happy one for
the cotton growers. but il need not
bring this country into actual war
unless the government tries to carry
this cotton in its own ships.
