LIGHT AND WATER FOR
THE INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL

At an adjourned meeting of the
city council last evening it was de-
cided to allow the state industrial
school for women the use of the city
water and electric light service at
the states building, two miles east
of the city. The contract provides
that the state is to equip the pipes
and lines from the city limits to the
school properties, and the state as
sumes any damages that may occur
outside the city limits from these
lines.
The rental for service is to be the
same as that charged the citizens for
like service. The lines necessary to
be constructed inside the city limits
are to be put in by the state, and be-
come the property of the city when
the rentals amount to the sum ex-
pended on them by the state.
The contract has not yet been
signed, but it is thought that it will
be in a day or two, as the mayor
wishes to consult the city attorney on
several points before its final accept
ance.

CORRECT ADVICE
FROM KAHN
Urges People of German Descent i'm
this Country to Prove Their
Americanism
Associated Press)
(Associated Press J

Harrisburg, Pa, Sept. 26.-Urging
Americans of German descent "to
join in our country's righteous strug-
gle against people of their own
blood, which, under the evil spell of
dreadful obsession has
made itself the enemy of this peace
loving nation" Otto H. Kahn, banker,
of New York, before the Harrisburg
Chamber of Commerce., today plead
ed for support of the war policy of
the administration at Washington.
Scoring that Prussianism, which,
he said, with profound cunning has
instilled into Germany the demoniacal
obsession of power-worship and world
dominion" Mr. Kahn traced the meth
DDS by which, he said, the Teutonic
people have been Systematically pois-
oned by the Prussian ruling caste"
'The world fervently longs for
peace. But there can be no peace an
swering to the true meaning of the
word, no peace permitting the nations
of the earth, great and small, to walk
unarmed and unafraid, until the
teaching an dthe leadership of the
apostles of an outlaw creed shall have
become discredited and hateful in the
sight of the German people.
"Woe to the German-American, So
called, who in this sacred war for
cause as high as any for which ever
people took up arms, does not feel a
SOLEMN urge, does not show an eager
determination to be in the very fore
front of the struggle, does not prove
patriotic jealousy, in thought, in ac-
tion and in speech, to rival and to
outdo his native-born fellow citizen in
devotion and in willing sacrifice fo1
the country Of his choice and adop-
tion and sworn allegiance and of their
common affection and pride.
"He who shirks the full measure of
his duty and allegiance in that
noblest of causes, be he German
American, Irish-American, or any
other hyphenated American, be he L.
w. w. or socialist or whatever the
appellation, does not deserve to stand
among Americans or indeed among
free men anywhere.
"He who, secretly or overtly, tries
to thwart the declared will and aim
of the nation in this holy war, is a
traitor, and traitors fate should be
his"

RAW TREATMENT OF RUMANIA
No Woman's Virtue is Safe in the
Keeping of German Officers

Washington, Sept. 25.-"Hell, with
the lid off" best describes Rumania
under the claws of the German mill
tary machine. The liberty of men,
the virtue of women, the sacredness

With less than a weeks wait after
