TO PROTECT POTOMAC RIVER
Washington Has Sewerage Plan For
Maryland Towns

Washington. Jan. = Legislative
steps were taken in the House We'd
nesday to prevent the Maryland towns
in Prince Georges and Montgomery
counties, Maryland, from polluting
the streams which rise in Maryland
and flow through the District Of Col
umbia into the Potomac river.
Representative Johnson, chairman
Of the House Committee on District
Affairs, introduced a bill authorizing
the District Commissioners to enter
into negotiations with the State Of
Maryland to bring about a connec-
ton between the sewerage systems
of Maryland towns and of Washing
ton.
Maryland sewerage is now cmpticd
into the small creeks which flow
through the national capital. The bill
provides that free use of the Washing
ton sewerage system shall be given
the Maryland towns, but they must
pay the cost of connection and pump
ing. The matter will probably come
up in the Maryland Legislature this
winter.

THE KA1sER'S CONDITION.
iRichmond Virginian.)

1t now seems certain that Kaiser
William is facing an enemy that all
the power of his victorious armies
will not be able to stay. 1t is said
that cancer has seized upon him and
is making rapid progress.
The German emperor now faces
death by dread disease. He has, by
the power of his word, sent millions to
untimely graves, and other millions
to the horrors Of lives of suffering
and invalidism, Of blindness, of in
sanity, of unspeakablc ,deformfty,
while an uncountable multitude of
widows and orphans and of parents
deprived of manly sons make Europe
continent of mourning, while the
devil-fish of war extends its dread
tentacles to almost every cline and
nation. Think of facing the Great
Eternal with load like this on ones
soul!
We don't know how d human being
can bear the burdens Of Kaiser Will
liam and retain sanity. We have al
ways felt that the German emperor
was mentally abnormal-hardly in
;;;,li..a-t-Dst so obscsscd of egotism that

ent, was the cry recently in front of
a bakery in Constantinople, by men,
women and children when it was: as
certained that the last loaf had been
sold.
Although official denials," are Of
ten made, there is every reason to
believe that, while similar utterances
may be suppressed in the pres
ence Of bayonets, the sentiment OF
Constantinople is INDUCED nlutely IN
many places in Germany and Aus
tria-Hungary as the British block
ade of those countries uightens.
In the early eighties, when the
Readjuster-Republican party domin-
ated Virginia, the Bourbons, as the
democratic organization was called,
were in favor of the state meeting all
its obligations to its creditors. The
readjusters had other theories respect
ing this matter Their opponents In
speeches often insisted that Virginia
should maintain her honor by pay
ing every farthing. A readjust-
er speaker in Alexandria about that
time in referring to this, said, But
honor will not buy a breakfast"
The Turkish residents of Constan-
tinople seem to be animated by sim
liar thought. Turkey will be Ger
man dependency should Teutonic arms
prevail, and Mussulmans can see no
reason why victories of the central
powers should enthuse them. Like the
donkey in the fable, they will carry
their panniers whether under Brit,
ish or German rule, and they find it
difficult to feast upon victories.

ITALIAN LINER HAS GUNS.
Brings New Problem for the State
Department.

New York, Jan. 7.-Gunners of the
Roval Italian Navy were in charge
of the two guns on the Italian liner
Giuseppe Verdi, which arrived here
Yesterday from Genoa, Naples and
pelermo, according to the captain,
Luigi Zannoni. After the vessel left
pelermo, the Captain said, daily prac-
tice was held with the guns, barrels
having been thrown overheard as tar
gets.
The guns were placed on the Gu
seppe Verdi by order of the Italian
naval authorities, but the Captain
declares he was instructed to use
them for defensive purposes only.
The two gunners became extremely
proficient in the practice of shooting
at the barres, passengers said. The
guns were mounted on the after
house of the vessel, one on either
side, and were in such positions as
to command all positions from the
ship.
The captain described the guns as
having calibre of Tim, capable of
firing shell weighing IS kilos four
and onc-half miles.
When the Giuseppe Verdi locked
here F. A. Downsey, member of
the Port Neutrality Squad. inspected
the guns and reported his informa-
ton to Dudley Field Malone, collector
of the port. The guns are still on the
ship and no action will be taken by
local officials until report of the in
vestigation has been made to Wash
ington.
