The total average monthly income is
given n $~5,632.Al, with total average
monthly expense Of $i,496.62, giving net
earnings, averaged monthly, Of sl,l35.79.
Mr.. Pryde states in his report that O
careful inspection Of the figures and a per-
sonal investigation ut the plant has con-
WINGED him that the total expense of gen.
Grating currcn for lighting and power pur-
poses will run seventy per cent of the to-
tai expense; the remaining thirty per cent
10 be applied rs the cost Of pumping wa
ter.
He notes a large discrepancy between
the X. w. III. developed nj the switchboard
and the X. w. III. delivered TO the consum-
ers. The difference, he points out, is ne
counted for by line losses, transformer
losses, leakage, current TO city pumps,
street lighting, and other unmetered de-
vices.
A depreciation fund Mr.. Pryde estimates
at ten per cent Of the gross income. In
this ease, he said, il would actually mean
the setting aside OF approximately $500
per month, but that in "A municipal plant 1T
may not be considered necessary, although
a private corporation would consider it
sound business policy TO do 80.
Mr.. Pryde concludes his report with
statements concerning the amount Of fuel
that might be saved as an operating econ
omy by certain changes and installations
at the plant. He works out n table in
which he shows that 1913 barrels of oil
yearly would be saved by replacing one
of the present steam units with an oil en-
CINE. Admitting that his figures were open
to criticism. he said that a more conserva-
tive figures n to oil saved per year would
be 800 barrels.
lie stated that the steam engine could be
replaced by an oil engine large enough to
enable the generator TO produce ITS fuu
load output. So operating, be stated, it
would take care Of the load over the TWEEN
ty-four hour period with the exception Of
the peak load, lasting from 6 y. m. to III
p. IN. During this time it may have 10 be
supplemented by one of the steam units.
The oil engine, he states, would have O ca
pacity of $50 horsepower and would cost
approximately $4,000. The price would
depend on the make and the type. Under
this arrangement. he states, the other
steam units could gradually be replaced
and sold a second hand apparatus.
Another proposition offered points ont
the peak load at present rs amounting 10
practically 2i0 X. ". A unit Of 800 X
W. would take care Of this easily with
power to spare, thus eliminating the use OF
the steam units except in emergency cases.
Referring to a complete inventory and
physical valuation of the water and light
system, he deemed it advisable that some
one connected with the city qualified to
do that sore OF work undertake il. There
would be n mass Of detail and prices have
changed 50 greatly in>late months that ID
would require q long time and considerable
expense.

TELLS OF RAIDS
OF THE MOEWE

Berlin, Saturday. March "a. - Via
wireless to Sayville (delayed)-Count
Won DONNA Schlodien. commander of
the German commerce raider Moews,
which returned to a German port re-
Gently after a raiding excursion in the
Atlantic. arrived in Berlin today on
the way to German army head
quarters. where he will be received by
Emperor William.
The count. in an interview with the
Overseas News agency. (the German
official press bureau). praised the
courage of the crew Of the MoeYe.
He expressed particular satisfaction
over the fact that he had sunk a
steamer in the service of the British
admiralty, that short time before
had coaled several British cruisers.
which he said had special orders no
find and destroy the Moewe at any
cost. Count Won Dohna-Schlodien
told the news agency that the MoeWe
regularly received British and French
wireless reports which warned vessels
at sea against the Moewe. In spite OF
the large number Of prisoners taken
by the raider-nearly 500 order
among them was easily maintained.
The captain of the British steamer
Brecknockshire efficiently aided in this
work. Only once did the prisoners
become excited and endeavor to ltbef-
ate themselves. This was when the
Moewe was engaged in combat with
the British steamer Otaki. ~

Effectiveness of British
Blockade Questioned
(By Associated Press.)

Lord Robert concluded by saying
that it would not be practical to
transfer the administration of the
blockade to the admiralty. He be-
lieved there was a very great shortage
of food in Germany and considerable
shortage of other things as result OF
the blockade.
II cannot disregard or disbelieve
repeated we'll authenticated state
ments of food riots" said the blockade
minister, las indicating profound dis
content on the part of the German
population with the prevailing con-
ditions."
Sir Edward Carson. first lord Of
the admiralty, characterized as alb
surd the demand that the blockade
should be left to the navy, as sug-
gested in the house of lords by Ad-
miraI Lord Charles Beresford, retired.
The cabinet had laid down the policy
and the foreign Office by negotiations
and the navy by action had to carry
out that policy. Sir Edward added
that the adoption of a doctrine for the
seizure of every neutral ship and its
cargo would mean that Great Britain
should go to war with everybody.
The admiralty, Sir Edward contin-
ued, was satisfied with its relations
with the foreign office and the pres
ent policy Of the cabinet was the only
possible policy, having regard for the
complications that would ensue IL the
government adopted a more aggressive
attitude toward friendly neutrals.

THE TIME TO SOW FLAX.

There are several things to consider
in determining the time to SOW flax.
Professor Bolley states that the best
crop is as a rule secured from early
planted or late planted fax. BY early
he means about April 20 to May 10.
according to the season. Flax sown
at this time will blossom before the
extremely hot weather which seems to
cause the flax to ripen too soon. The
early seeded fax runs but slight risk
from frost. The flax when just COM
ing up and till. week old may be
killed by hard freeze. but this seldom
happens and If it does there is still
time to sow another crop. Flax sown
about May Is to June usually makes
the poorest crop due to blossoming
in the hot weather. For the part of
North Dakota south of the Great
Northern railroad from Grand Forks
to Williston. late seeding, June i to
June 10. usually gives a good crop
provided there is no early fall frost.
AS indicated above. spring frost
while fax is quite young. from one to
three inches high. is apt to do very
little harm. but the slightest frost
after the flax is in blossom with bolls
still green is sure to do great damage.

London, March 2S.-William A. S.
Hewins and Carlyon w. BeIlairs, un-
ionist members of the house of COM
mons yesterday raised the question Of
the effectiveness of the British block
ade and the difficulties of enforcing 1t,
during a debate in the house. Mr..
Bellairs said the difficulties had been
largely removed when the United
States, "the most powerful and most
critical neutral" came in on the side
of the entente allies.
Lord Robert Cecil, minister or
blockade, assured members of the
house that the closest cooperation
existed between the admiralty and his
department. Admiral Sir Dudley de
Chair, formerly in command Of the
blockading squadron in the North sea,
having been appointed to advise him
as to the views of the admiralty and
the admiralty as to the views Of the
foreign office.
Lord Robert in reviewing steps that
had been adopted in connection with
the blockade emphasized the value OF
rationing by an agreement with some
body in a neutral country as more
smooth and effective than compulsory
rationing. He said the system OF let
tiers of assurance that had been ar
ranged with the United States had
ing over difficulties with that country,
enabling the government to know ex-
aetly what was going on concerning
exports from the United States to
neutrals and permitting the United
States without unfairness or injustice
to regulate supplies to these neutrals. In
his judgment the measures adopted
had succeeded completely in stopping
overseas importations into enemy
countries.
Lord Robert then produced a number
of figures which he commended proved
there was no leakage. He still felt
however, that everything necessary
had not been done to complete the
blockade of Germany. There was the
question of the home produce of bord-
er neutrals, which was a most diff
ficult subject. He said he had ar
rived at the conclusion that the only
way to deal with this matter was by
securing agreements with neutrals to
stop or diminish such trade.
The blockade minister went at great
length into the difficulties surrounding
any attempt to compel neutral coun-
tries to sever all trade relations with
Germany. Concerning Denmark, he
said the government believed the
agreements with Denmark had been
honestly carried out and that there
was no reason to modify the present
blockade policy as affecting Denmark.

clinic TO
AID NEEDY
PROPOSED
Fargo Women Ask Commits
sion Views on Caring for
Defective Children.
ENLIST THE AID OF CLUBS
City Will Maintain Warning
to Autoists on Streets
Leading to Schools.

Proposed establishment of a public
clinic in Fargo for the benefit of school
children whose parents are financially
unable to have their children prop
erly cared for in the remedying of
physical ailments, was this morning
brought to the attention of the board
of city commissioners by a committee
composed of Mrs F. H. Wilder and
Mrs. J. w. mce, representing the
Fortnightly club.
The representatives of the Fort
nightly club. came before the commits
sion primarily to learn what action
had been taken on the proposition Of
putting in signs on all streets near
school buildings warming automoolle
drivers of the proximity of school,
and cautioning them to drive careful
ly and quietly.
This proposition was presented to
the commission last fall. but because
of the advent Of winter, nothing had
been done.
Commissioner J. H. Dahl stated that
he had not forgotten the matter, and
would see to it at once, his intention
being to present the matter to the
board of education, asking that board
to stand the expense of purchasing the
necessary signs.
Children are Retarded.
The public clinic matter was brought
up as a side issue by Mrs. lnce, who
called attention to the number Of chill
dren of the city who are being held
back in their school work because Of
defective vision, teeth, adenoids, mall
formed mouths, and like physical de-
fects, and whose parents are unable
financially to have them properly
treated.
Not Ready for Hospital.
Mrs. Ince believed that the city
should arrange with one Of the hos
pitfalls for a public ward where such
cases could be cared for at public ex-
pense, calling attention to cities where
this proposition has worked out with
success. Mrs. Ince said there are peo-
pie in the city who are urging a pub
lie municipal hospital, but she did not
believe that Fargo had reached size
where this could be realized, but she
was confident that with public elm
les at a local hospital, the same re-
suits could be obtained at less ex-
pense. 49,.
Will Ask Support.
Mrs. Ince said that this matter had
been before the Fortnightly club and
that it was the intention to bring the
matter to the attention of other wo-
mems organizations OF the city.
Mayor H. r. Emery and Commits
sioner Alex Stern believed that little
can be accomplished in this matter
until there is a change in public SEN
timent, which can be brought about
by public education. Mr.. Stern called
attention to the fact that with such
an institution in Fargo, the surround
ing towns and counties would Hood
Fargo with patients who are unable to
pay for the care required.
