Water Rental Department in
Leased Quarters Under
New Arrangement.

The municipal water department has
been crowded out Of the city hall,
the city commission this morning
authorizing its establishment in the
Chesley building, 631 N. P. avenue,
formerly occupied by The Nonpartisan

The water collection department has
been maintained in the city auditors
Office up to this time, but the bLS mess
has grown to such tremendous proper
tions that the quarters were entirely
inadequate.
In addition to housing the collec-
tion department, the leased store room
also will be made the headquarters for
the field force of the city engineers

pose was requested by the engineer

would be loyal Americans. Let them
not hesitate too long, lest that well

Let us ponder we'll the conse-
quences. Are they contemplating be-
coming subjects of the Kaiser? The

possible, through his law of dual
nationality, to permit them to be
both Germans and Americans, with
the accent, of course, on the former;

For those who are resolved to con-

only one conclusion. They will have
to face their neighbors through many

Shall there be ostracism of the
German blood in this land? Shall we
witness the boycott of German busi-

welding together the many divergent

was there an equal opportunity for
operating the Melting Pot to good

Washington. Aug. 22.-The report
OF the naval board which investigat-

reached the navy department and it's
substance probably will be made pub

There has been no intimation as
to whether the board found that the
explosion was set off by time

what he denounced as the false and
libelous charge Of the Navy League
headquarters that investigation of
this report has been blocked by labor
interests that caused Secretary Dan

Washington, Aug. 22.-Omcial dis
patches received from Russia within
the last twenty-four hours are of
such character as to cause some
concern over the situation there.
They will not be made public, OF
discussed at this time by American
officials. who regard them as indi-
eating a condition with which the
provisional government has to deal.
Suggestions that the dispatches
deal with the possibility of the So
cialist clement gaining an upper
hand and forcing some consideration
of peace out Of harmony with Rus
sia's allies, or some new under cur
rent seeking to undermine Premier
kerensky, meet the reply that the
dispatches cannot be discussed or
made public.
1t is known, however, that they
refer to no physical event such as
would be suppressed by the censor
ship at PetrOgrad, but rather are an
estimate Of political conditions.
The extent of German intrigue in
Russia is well known, and the sub
