| was surprised to read of mass
meeting Of German sympathizers in
Cincinnati last Sunday, presided over
by an ex-mayor and a judge of our
courts, condemning the policy of our
government regarding the shipment of
arms and ammunition to foreign ports.
If understand the right of a neutral
power, it does not deny the privilege
of selling to the successful bidder any
of her products, as long as THESE snip
ments are not made by neutral power
conveyance; hence no American law
court could successfully deprive our
manufacturers from making and sell
ing their products to the successful
buyer, provided the transportation Of
such articles were conducted by the
purchasing parties; and thus far !
have not been able to trace one single
shipment of arms or ammunition of war
to an American-owned boat.

| am a strong advocate for peace and
the preservation Of our national neu-
trality. | hope and pray that war
will soon be thing of the past, and
that arbitration among individuals and
nations will usher in the kingdom OF
our God. At the same time / think
it un-American for any one or any
party of men to attempt to dictate in
the affairs of this nation, which be-
long to government. Would these So
called peace advocating German SYM
pathizers cry out: Woe, Woe! if Ger
many had control of the seas and
American goods would find market
in German ports?
We do not deny Germany the right
and privilege to purchase our goods
in open market, in competition with all
other powers. American industries
are willing to supply the whole world
Our Southern cotton is finding way
into Germany to be turned into gun
cotton and other war munitions. Still
we demand from England that she
shall permit the safe voyage of cotton
laden vessels, which, by the way, fly
ing the American flag, these vessels
supplying the German demand for this
product which she must import from
abroad. Are we not rather a little
partial if we demand from our govern
ment the stopping of contraband of
war to allied ports and at the same
time demand safe conduct for cotton
laden vessels, whose cargo finds a
willing and ready market in the mid
die European states?

be observed only if, as private citi-
zens, we harmonize our life and opin-
ion with the judgment of our national

COMMUNICATION

When the barn burned aear the
standpipe early Sun6.y morning, il
seems an effort was made to use di7
rect standpipe pressure to put out the
fire. The question, was raised bl
some Of the bystanders whether thS
water in the standpipe was low ct the
time because there was not more pres
sure at the end of the hose line.
For the information of the public
we may say that the exact pressure
or height of the water in the standpipe
is recorded by an automatic device at
the waterworks station every minute
of the twenty-four hours. The record
for Sunday morning shows that the
standpipe at the time the fire took
place was within five feet of being
full. We do not suppose anyone
will question our statement; but the
record is on exhibition at the office Of
Mr. A. d. Aylard, one of the members
of the Board of Public Affairs. I'm
der the present schedule of pumping,
the standpipe is kept full practically
every hour Of the day, or ;learly so.
Since the sewers were cleaned out,
only about tenth of the water is now
used that there was formerly. Medi-
ma never had a better or more copious
water supply than to-day.
Perhaps a word ought to be said
concerning standpipe pressure. This
cannot always be relied upon, even
when the standpipe is full, especially
if large-sized hose-nozzles are used.
If we had pressure enough we should
not need the services of the fire en-
gine to boost the pressure. When wa
ter passes through a lire of hose, in
addition to the underground pipe it
encounters a large amount of resist
tance. Even if the standpipe 80 feet
high were full, one could hardly ex-
pect, on account of the resistance, to
get more than 30 or 40 foot flow of
water from the end of the hose line.
This will explain why the water was
not thrown further at the time of the
fire in question.
E. R. ROOT.
Chairman of the Board of Public
Affairs.
The Medina sentinel. [volume] (Medina, Ohio) 1888-1961, 1915-07-16

Later--Since writing the foregoing
we have learned that the fire chief
and his men say that the water pres
sure was ample. One of the parties
who made most complaint about low
water pressure was not taxpayer.
However, so far as water pressure is
concerned, it was sufficient TO throw .
stream over the barn and break the
windows in the building. The COM
plant of low pressure 10 hardly
worthy of consideration; but the pub
lie has a right to know that an auto
matte record is kept Of staadp:pe lev
els at all times.
