An exceptionally interesting meeting
was held by the Woman's club yes

of this meeting was to have State
Senator Chaplin, with Assemblymen-
elect DR.. I. Alexander. Chas. D.
Gallagher and J. H Fulmer meet
with the club and the legislative
committee to discuss proposed legis-
lation. One of the first matters
given attention was a bill which II
is said is under consideration to ap-
point either seven or nine deputies
in the department of public instruc-
ton in place of five as now allowed
by law. II is contended that In
many instances the territory is too
large to be properly cared for. An
alternative has been suggested to
make the principal of the high school
in each county deputy superintendent
of public instruction, and instead of
devoting the time to high school as
{
cient teachers be employed to re
heve him of much of that work and
make him what might be considered
a general supervisor of school work

haps any action whatever. In this
view Senator Chaplin heartily concur

proper rights was brought up, but
Senator Chaplin said he thought II

II was suggested that the Teachers

Kerensky May Set Up a New
Government With Mos
cow as Capitol
BY Associated Press

Washington, Nov. S.-Kerensky's s
fall and the collapse of his govern
ment in Petrograd into the hands of
the Maximalists who propose a sep
arate peace with Germany is regard,
ed here as threatening Russia with
civil war.
The general opinion here among
those in position to be best informed
OF Russian affairs is that Kerensky
and his followers probably will at
once set up a new government at
Moscow, leaving Petrograd to the
MaXimalists and those troops who
adhere to them. An armed clash is
counted among the first probabili-
ties, but it is said here that the
greater part of the Army is ex-
pected to remain loyal to the Ker-
ensky government.
The War Council of the cobellig-
erents, just about to assemble in
Europe to arrange policies of CO.
ordination of fighting forces, is now
faced with new and great prob
lem at its very outset. Coming close
on the Italian reverses, the Russian
debacle brings the allies, including
the United States, face to face with
action to rearrange their fighting
power to deal the heaviest possible
blows on the battle fronts while
Russia works out her part and des-
tiny in the great struggle for world
freedom and Italy holds back the
invader pouring through the Alps.

Water Must Be Boiled to
Avoid Disease Epidemic

Acting under orders from DR..
Samuel G. Dixon, State Health
Commissioner, notices to boil all
drinking water used in Middletown,
have been posted in the main streets

yesterday noticed that raw water
from the reservoir on Iron Mine
Run untreated by filtration or any
other purifying process, was being
let into the pipes with which the
Middletown and Swatara Water
Company supplies Middletown and
surrounding neighborhood.
On Sunday there was a break in
water power pump which the COM
pany uses to put water which has
passed through the filter, into the
supply mains of the borough. They
have a steam pump to substitute for
this and il was imm ediately put into
use. The supply of coal was short
however, and yesterday 1t gave out
and the steam pump could not he
used. Thereupon, the Health De-
partment learned. orders were given
that lIntreated water should be
passed by gravity from the reser
voir directly into the supply mains.
Major Garrison, in command of
the aviation supply warehouse Of the
United States Army at Middletown
was also notified of the danger and
advised that all water used on the
reservation should be boiled.
BY prompt action the Health De-
partment hopes to avert any danger
of an epidemic which might have
occurred had the raw water nm
boiled or untreated in any way, con-
tinued to be consumed by residents
of the borough.
