LEAK STORY DENIED.
Officials of Water Department Laugh
 at RumOrS of Breaks

Current rumors regarding an at tempt to undermine the pipe line be- tween this city, Burlington and Shuttle Meadow, about eighteen miles in length, were promptly denied at the office of the water commissioners today. There is absolutely no occa- sion for any such reports, it was stated.
 Another rumor to the effect that the pipe line in Walnut Hill park near the high pressure gate house had been mined was also denied and explained. About a month ago the water depart ment made an excavation there and a rain storm followed by cold snap froze the earth so it was impossible to fill in the hole. The sight of this pile of earth near the water line caused the rumors, it is said.

BIG CONGREGATIONS
 WANTED TOMORROW
First Sunday in Lent to Be
 Banner Day

"Go to Church Tomorrow is the request of the cooperating churches of the city. This is the first Sunday in Lent. This season has long been observed by the Catholic and Episco pal churches is being observed more generally by all Protestant churches. Is it not well for us in this time of world conflict and national crisis to think and mediate upon the deep things of God
 All thinking men today, whether churchmen or not, must realize that righteousness, and faith and love are in the balance. The most vital laws of God and man have been trifled with not alone across the sea but in our own land. Men have been indif- ferent to the voice of God calling them to high resolve, and unselfish en- deavor for their fellows, their com munity, and their country. Our prep aration has been short, not only in military ways, but in mind and heart. Ease and comp1aisAnce have charac- terized our day until we find our- selves unstable and confused and fear full. Sins which sap our social life of it's vigor and purity are often con- doned or passed over as socially cor rect. Custom rather than right has become master, and no law is so bind ing as the customary law. Money has strong voice ill our day, and often talks louder than conscience. The in- different and the careless spirit is as a deadly sleep from which we may not awake in time to save ourselves and our civilization. Secret sin is not uncommon. and responsibility is of fered as a substitute for character.
