CZERNOWITZ FALLS
Before Drive of Russian Forces.
AustrianS Fleeing.

Czernowitz, capital of the Austrian
crown land of Bukowina, is in the
hands of the Russians and the Aus
trians who had been holding it are in
a retreat toward the Carpathian noun
tainS. Hard fighting took place in
the capture of the CZernowitZ bridge
head and in the passage of the River
Pruih, but when finally the Russians
gained the right bank Of the river the
Austrians evacuated the capital, leav-
ing 1000 prisoners and some guns in
the hands of the Russians.
To the north, in Galicia and Vol
hynia, the Russians are meeting with
desperate resistance on the part of
AuStro- -TIungarianS and Germans,
some of the latter of whom are de-
clared by Petrograd to have been
brought from the French front in an
endeavor to aid in stemming the Rus
sian advance.
While petrograd asserts that the
attacks, pressing the Teutonic allies
farther back and taking from them
large numbers Of prisoners and guam
titles Of war materials, both Vienna
and Berlin report victories for their
arms in Galicia and Volhynia. Vienna
says that north Of the Lipa river, i'll
Galicia, the Austrians put down a
Russian attack, gaining ground and
took 900 men prisoner, while Berlin
asserts that along the Styr on both
sides of Kolki and between the Lutsk
road and the Turya sector the Ger
mans under General Won Linsingen re-
pulsed Russian attacks and captured
BAG Russians and some guns.

Cams Dry Humor.

When the gallant Welsh captain. Da
vid Gam, was sent forward by Henry
V. to recOnnOiter the French army be-
fore the battle of Agincourt he found
that the enemy outnumbered the Eng
lish by about five to one. His report
to the king is historic:
There are enough to be killed,
enough to be taken prisoners and
enough to run away"
This quaint forecast of the result OF
the battle at once spread through the

Bilious Attacks.

When you have a bilious attack
your liver fails to perform its func-
tions. You become constipat2d. The
food you eat ferments in your stom-

If there is a surburban comm.uitv

tablishment, or an individual. who
VIII take a million gallons of city
water through a single meter would
like to be informed of il so that the,
may be offered such a contract as IL
onered to the Lancaster Cotton
Mills. The proposition is to serve
water to the Lancaster Cotton Mills
directly, as single custome,
through one, or possibly two, con-
nections with the city mains. Tho
city council has no power to invaon
the property Of the Lancaster Cotton
Mills and distribute water into the
homes OF the tenants, making eacn
tenant a customer of the city. in the
absence of contract with the mill
authorities permitting it. 1t is
puerile to expect such a contract. Let
II be remembered that the Lancaster
Cotton Mills is constructing a water
system of its own, and the only hope
OF the city council is to secure the
privilege OF supplying this large
quantity of water to be distributed
by the cotton mills through its own
system. SO far as the city council is
concerned it is proposing to serve a
single customer through one connec-
tion, without expense to the city,
other than the cost of the water. Mr..
Wylie seems to think that if a non
resident consumer using 1000 gal
Ions per month is charged S1.O0. a
customer using five hundred times
that much should pay about the
same, otherwise there is discrimina-
tion. In other words merchant dis
eliminates Improperly when he
charges more for the article at re-
at Wholesale; that no consideration
should be taken OF the fact that the
million gallon consumer could be
served, so far as expense of distri-
button Is concerned, as easily as
each Of the five hundred 1000 gal
lon customers, the installation and
reading of one meter instead of five
hundred meters, the keeping and
collecting of one account instead of
five hundred accounts. What non
sense!
Mr.. Wylie, routed all along the
line, now takes refuge in the state
ment: 'I believe the contemplated
contract will jeopardize the present
water supply" which position he

should it double and treble in popu
lation the problem would then be
not whether we have a sufficient wa.
ter supply, but what steps should be
taken to inpound the ample stream,
water, whether by additional rescr-
'voirs, or raising the dam, or both
but, in doing this, it may be neces-
sary to consider whether such i'm
pounding Of the water would denv
TO the Lancaster Cotton Mills a rea,
.scnable use of the stream.
Mr.. Wylie pooh-poohs this contin,
eency, and as he is a lawyer the
public will doubtless appreciate his
assurance that the city can take all
the water of the stream when IL
chooses and not give a rap what the
Lancaster Cotton Mills thinks about
it. His assurance is there could be
mo successful litigation" but he is
careful not to say there would be no
long expensive ligitation.
This arche-type of citizenship, in
spired by the sole and single purpose
oil guarding the interests of the city
and calling on the council to give
the public through the newspapers
the proposed plan, with facts. figures
and estimates, refrains from "sar-
casm" and "inneundo" because to
his mind such is not in good taste noi
instructive, but he has not refrained
from stating misleading facts which
are not instructive to the public in
the discussion OF this issue. For in
stance, he quotes Chester's domestic
rates up to 10000 gallons and over.
and figures that a million gallons
would cost $152.10, but he does not
tell you what Chester's manufactur-
ing rate is. and in answer to this ]

opinion that the water supply may be

tract. Against his opinion is the
judgment OF the city council, devoted
to the interests of Lancaster. charg-
ed with the duty and responsibility
OF a correct conclusion, and doubtless
more familiar with the situation, and
whose judgment is supported by the
favorable opinion of the engineer,
Mr.. II. S. Jaudon, who installed the
plant.
Mr.. Wylie seems to think that once
the contract is made the city is per-
petually bound to supply this non.
resident customer even though the
water supply should be reduced to a
point that would jeopardize the ser.
vice to residents. There is no pro-
position to make any long term con
tract, and service to nonresident,
would not be continued at the peril
OF residents. Where is the peril of
a contract from year TO year. or for
two years, as is limited by the
Statue law OF this State, If the water
supply Is now adequate for the nee0s
OF the city and the proposed con
tract? Mr.. Wylie also appears to be
ignorant of this provision of the law.
and to refresh his memory I re-
spectfully refer him to Section 3O25
of the Code of Laws of 1912, Vol. ],
page S29. The fact is the flow OF
water over the city dam is large
and the stream supply is adequate
for a city much larger than Lancas-
ter is likely to become for many
years, and, II the water supply is ade,

MORE ABOUT THE WATER
SITUATION FROM MAYOR JONE.

TO The Lancaster News:
In your issue of November 11th
Ar. 2. z. Wylie makes reply to nv
communication in your issue of No
vember 7th, on the water supply
question.
In my former communication
which was in response to a previous
article by Mr. Wylie, backed up by
editorials in the News. charged
that the motive which prompted Mr.,
Wylie and the Editor of The News
IN attacking the city council was not
to honestly serve the public but was
because of hostility to certain men,
sers OF the city council and to Col
Leroy Springs. Mr. Wylie. while not
denying the hostility alleged, now
proclaims that his sole purpose was
to serve the public interests.
Will Mr.. Wylie deny that the ar
ticle he first intended to publish con-
tanned hurtful insinuarions against
members of the city council and that
such insinuations were only left out
because friend of his advised him
that it would not do to publish it?
The animous of Mr.. Wylie still
shows itself. for while he speaks in
parliamentary language, he first be-
gins in politely asking for informa
tion on the water supply question.
and after he gets information which
ought to satisfy any reasonable man,
then he "raises his voice against the
consummation of the proposed con-
tract with the Lancaster Cotton
Mills"
What is the contract proposed by
the city council?
To supply the Cotton Mills. as a
single consumer, one million gallons
OF the city water at seventy $4,000
dollars per month, in accordance with
the rate adopted in 1908.
What will it cost the city to sup
ply this water? We have demon
strated in former communication
that the additional cost to the city in
the extra operating expenses would
not exceed $29.S3 per million gall
Ions per month. This fact is not
disputed by Mr.. Wylie. But, he says
this would be discrimination in IA
vor of the consumers of water in the
mill district, as against other con.
sumers outside the city limits. thus
charging discrimination and shifting
his ground of attack. There can be
no discrimination when all in the
same circumstances are served alike.
Who else in all the community is in
the same situation with reference to
the water supply as the Lancaster
