WATER IN
RESERVOIRS
COLD WEATHER AND FLOATING
ICE IN THE RIVER PUTS THE
WATERwoRKs PIPELINE OUT
OF COMMISSION.

The recent cold weather has tenn
porarily put the waterworks pipe line
in the Royal Gorge out of business
and recourse has been had by the city
to the pumping plant on South First
street to maintain the requisite sup
ply of water in the reservoirs for
public and private uses. The unus-
ually low temperature for the last
week or ten days has caused a coat
ing OF ice to form on the inside Of the
conduit that has grown thicker and
thicker from day TO day until it has
in some places filed the space neces-
sary FOR the water and shut son the
dow. II has been impossible to find
these congested places and thaw
them out and the pumping plant has
had TO be started to make good the
deficiency resulting fromrthe freezing
up OF the pipe line.
In addition 10 tie difficulty of try
ing to keep up flow thru the pipe
line great trouble has been eNperienc-
ed at the waterworks intake from
floating ice in the river. which has. at
times, nearly swamped things. Su-
periutendant CheteIat Of the water
works department and his assistants;
have worked like Trojans to Keep tie
line open. but have not enti; ely sic
| ceeded. The pipe lire caretaker in
The Royal Gorge has been given extra
help In the effort TO prevent -rreeze
up but has been unable to, do so.
aitho endeavors TO avoid congestion
have been carried on day and night.
Never before has the same degree OF
trouble been. experienced in keeping
the pipe line open as has been the
case this winter. The greatest flow
of slush ice in the river is from 3
O'Clock to daylight in tle morning
and during that time it is only by
| hard work that an ice gorge can be
| prevented at the pipe line intake.
Last Saturday afternoon Mr.. Chete-
lat opened the valve in the pipe line
near GORGE station for the purpose
of ascertaining how much water
there was in the conduit and TO To-
cate. if possible. where ii was frozen
up. As the result of doing so the
air vent, some distance further down
the line. which was ice covered. shut
OF the atmospheric pressure and pro-
duced a vacuum in the pipe. which
resulted in She collapse of about forty
feet OF the structure. Mr.. Chetelat
and a bunch of men worked all day
Sunday trying to repair the disabled
line. but were unable to complete
the job.
Pumping water directly from the
river began Monday afternoon and
will be carried on until the pipe line
is repaired which will be rushed as
rapidly as circumstances will per-
init. 1t is probable that the work
cannot be completed much, if any.
before Friday or Saturday of this
week. Until ii is finished people
| must be content with water a little
less clear and little less abundant
than usual.

HOOVER TO REPORT
ON ALLY FOOD SUPPLY
Belgian Relief Commission Chair
man to Confer With Wilson.

Herbert c. Hoover, chairman Of the
American Belgium relief commission,
arrived in Washington this morning
to deliver his report on the food con-
dition of all the. allied nations of Eu-
rope. and to place his services at the
disposal of the United states Govern
ment in connection with the food con.
servation campaign.
Mr.. Hoover spent the morning Wis
iting personal friends. but has ap-
pointments with several Cabinet Of
ficers regarding the work he is ex-
pected to undertake.
The report Mr.. Hoover is to make
to President Wilson is an exhaustive
study of the economic condition of all
the allied nations, containing infor-
nation as to the ways the United
States can be of most immediate serv-
ice to our allies.
Mr.. Hoover was accompanied to the
United states by Benjamin S. Allen,
a newspaper man of London. who is
going to take over the work of the
Belgian relief commission.
According to Mr.. Allen, the English
and the French have placed in their
armies the last available man, and
even men supposed to be not subject
to the draft have been sent to the
front. England now has an army of
5000. 900 men. about 100000 of whom
are on the front line in France and
Belgium.
About 900 Belgians are escaping
from Germany every month, said Mr..
Allen. Since the deportation of large
numbers OF Belglans a class of SNUG
glers has sprung up along the border
who, for a sum OF money, or for patri-
otic reasons, agree to smuggle Bel
gIans back to France or the uncon-
quered portions of Belgium.
The food situation in Belgium and
northern France requires every ef-
fort we can make" said Mr.. Hoover.
wheat and corn are needed badly,
and also pork and beef. The commits

had struggled to Its feet again, after
receiving the knockout blow of the
submarine decree OF February 1.

CORPS TO MOBILIZE
Local Volunteers May Soon Leave
for French BattIefeIds.

According to information received
from District Red Cross headquarters
today, plans are being made for the
immediate mobilization of the ambu-
lance corps being formed by DR.. Ryan
Devereux.
1t was intended to await full en-
listment before mobilizing the COM
pany, but developments whereby
every ambulance available is TO be
sent to Europe at once have led to
plans for the immediate mobilization
and training Of the local company. .
DR.. Devereux has been receiving
large numbers OF applications for en-
listment in the company from out-of-
town men. Up to the present he has
declined these applications, as he is
desirous of recruiting the company
among Washington men. So few
Washington young men have voIu-
teered, however, that out-of-town en-
listments probably will be accepted
soon.

Corporations to Aid
Thrift Stamp Sale
Insurance Companies Organ

Drive Here

Within the next few days, New YORK
City will be completely organized for
the sale of thrift and war-saylngs
stamps. Frederick W. Allen. director
Of War Savings for New York, an
nounced yesterday that the plans oil his
organization were practically compIet-
ed and that shortly authorized agen-
ces for the sale Of stamps would be
established within a short distance o.
every residence and business house IN
the city.
Three big life insurance companies, the
New York, the Equitable and the Pru-
Dental, yesterday threw their strength
into the campaign. Thousands of their
employees have become active workers
and through them the War Savings
Committee expects 10 increase the sale
Of stamps materially.
Officials of the Brooklyn Rapid Tran
sit Company have also applied for ap-
pointnent as authorized agents for the
stamps. It is their plan TO establish
agencies at each car barn and thus
place the stamps within permanent and
convenient reach of all their employees.
The New York Life Insurance Com
pany has established a system for the
regulation of the sale of stamps in
each of the twenty branches in New
York City. Every agency director has
been appointed government agent for
the sale Of stamps. and his entire stan
will be at his command to aid in rails
ing New York's SlO0,O00,O0o quota Of
the 1000. 900 900 loan.
