TURNING SEWAGE INTO ASSET
British City Shows How Profit Can
Be Made by Scientific Handling
Of Waste EffIuent.

" Through installation of modern sew
erage and garbage disposal systems
many cities of this country are secur-
ing valuable by-prOducts from waste,
but our municipalities could probably
emulate to advantage the method
adopted by an English city in creating
an asset out Of waste effluent diff
cult of disposal. says the Manufac-
turers' Record. According to a state
ment in commerce reports by the Unit
ed States consul at Bradford, England,
that city RECEIVERS the grease in the
sewage coming from many wOOl-Wash-
ing and securing establishments To-
Gated there and turns it into profit
able by-product.
This grease by-product is said to be
of value in the leather-dressing trade
and to some extent in branches of the
textile industry.
The sales Of the recovered grease
by the sewage works of the city of
Bradford were reported to amount to
$3.50, 800 in 1916 at the present high
price of 1922 a ton, and it is estimated
that for this year over $34O,OOO will De
realized from this source, in addition
to nearly $4,000 derived from the sale
of manure or fertilizer made from the
sludge left after the extraction of the
grease. Because of the development
of this by-product it is thought the
Bradford sewage work will be self
supporting in 1917.

manner:

another low bow.
Smiling happily, Ethel left him. She
congratulated herself, both because she

she had obtained the Information that

he asked, dropping into the chair once
| more.
| That question was one that the Ger
man officer was only too ready to take
up.
What army has England?" And
straightway he gave the answer.
''None! In only one thing is England

There she has always been our master;

France and Russia to do. But if the
war lasts they will grow weary of be-

"And the French?" Charlie persisted.

have been thinking Of what some day
they would do to Germany; and while

"What a pity it isn't devoted to
peace instead of war" the American
said somewhat pensively. All the while,
as they talked, the boom of field guns
in the distance punctuated their SEN
fences.
"In the end it will be for peace"
Major Won Brenig said gravely, "the
peace Of the world. For this is just
war-and justice must triumph
"But what of these poor people,
these noncombatants- streamed
through here little while ago?'
cit is the habit of an invaded coun-

''But we Germans are not barbarians
We are simple people fighting only
for our fatherland."
"And the ruined towns-destroye
homes-and civilians shot?"
But Major Won Brenig had always
an answer ready. He was an honest
man; and he was convinced Of the
justice of the German cause.

CHAPTER XIV.
Mr.. Brown Finds His War.


Lieutenant Baum had been gone but
a short time when Sergeant Schmidt
appeared, bringing Brown with him.
The German "noncom" looked about in
vain for his lieutenant, who had or
dered him to fetch the American. But
only two Of his mates, Otto and Hans,
remained in the room, standing guard
at the street door.
Sergeant Schmidt was nonplused. It
was not like Lieutenant Baum to fail
one like that. And he gurgled 8 few
throaty German words in his surprise
There seemed nothing to do then but
assume the task himself-the duty of
examining his prisoner, for so he re-
garded the interested Mr.. Brown, who
was already making mental notes of
the proceedings, which he intended to
use for the establishment of the sto-
ries he would send his paper later.
Charlie had paused just inside the
door through which he had entered the
room. And now the sergeant beck
oned to him violently.
"Komm herr he commanded
At that peremptory command Mr.
Brown regarded him with mild sur
prise and a total lack Of comprehen-
sion. But the sign language was plain
enough. So Charlie drew near to that
formula ble-looking automaton.
"Was thust du hier?" Sergeant
Schmidt demanded fercely.
Mr.. Brown appeared to consider him
a huge joke. At least he glanced past
his frowning interrogation at Hans and
Otto and laughed outright.
81 don't get you. Why don't you
speak English?" he replied.
But the sergeant stolidly repeated
his question.
"Oh. shut upT' Mr.. Brown said i'm
patiently.
"Du Dist Elm Englaender," Schmidt
announced with a malevolent glare at
his captive.

him, congratulating himself that the
German language offered fewer diff
culttes than the French. He even be-

Nnguist. And in order to convince this

ton papers.
Sergeant Schmidt's eagle eye NJ
sooner detected the move Of hanc
toward hip than he thrust his revolver
into Mr. Browns stomach.
"Haltv
That was something that Charlie
understood without difficulty, too. He
raised both hands above his head as
high as he coulE get them, while q
look Of ineffable disgust suffused his
face.
"You d-n fool" he exclaimed
''I'm not reaching for gun. These
are my passports. Look! Papers,!
With a shake and a twist he managed
to throw his coat back from his right
hip. And Sergeant Schmidt then pro
ceeded to relieve him Of the bulky
packet that projected from the pocket
He looked at them with scowl.
"Ah. you are Franzoesisch!' he de-
clared, still in his native tongue, for
he knew no other.
I'm what?" Charlie inquired.
"Franzoesisch! You are no Ameri-
kaner."
Charlie grasped only the last word.
Eyes, that's right-Americane, right
from the corner Of Forty-secOnd street
and Broadway; and, believe me, wish
was right back there right now"
"What DO you say?" the sergeant
asked him.
"None of your d-n business.
You bonehead." Mr.. Brown
was quite enjoying himself, abusing
that walking arsenal with impunity.
"Have a cigarette?" he asked, holding
out his case
Sergeant Schmidt was not above ac-
cepting one, even from the enemy. And
he thanked Charlie in a voice as gentle
as a bass drum.
Gee, I'd like to give you one good
wallop on the nose just for luck" the
American remarked longingly.
Then Schmidt suddenly snatched off
Mr.. Browns hat.
''Nix on the Hermann stuff-what
are you doing?" Charlie demanded. He
began to feel as if he were taking part
in a slapstick vaudeville skit.
The sergeant had his face buried in
side. the hat. He was looking for
clues.
"Englischv' he sputtered the next
moment.
''Of course it's Englishv' Charlie re-
torted. at cost me two-and-six," he
added, regarding the rough handling of
his straw with indignation.
Sergeant Schmidt leaned over, and.
Selling Charles coat by the collar,
he pulled it back, from his neck while
he examined the label.
English also. Spion! Thou art an
English spy!"
His trusty henchmen, Hans and
Otto, together with their corporal,
brought their guns up to their sides;
and; Kissing "Spionr' in the most sim
lister manner ina enable, they all three
approached Charlie threateningly.
Mr.. Brown suddenly changed his
mind about the vaudeville. It seemed
to him that possibly he had been I'M

Washington, Nov. 22.-Possibility of immediate suspension of railway transportation as a result of the four brotherhoods' proposed wage demands was removed and progress toward amicable adjustment of any wage con- troversies during the war was made todav at a conference between Presi- dent Wilson, the four brotherhood heads and members of the federal mediation board

Future developments will depend, first, upon the carriers disposition of the new demands, and second. in event of deadlock, upon further negotiations agreed to at to- days meeting at the White House.
 Cryptic statements were issued by President Wilson and brotherhood chiefs after the two-hour conference. in which the president announced that the brotherhood heads agree Gin case of any critical situation of contro- versy to consider any pro- posed solution in spirit of accom- Todation and patriotic purposes" The brotherhood statement was in similar 'ei1 declaring willingness to discuss and consider any solution if situation should arise which threat ens the interruption of transporta- tion."
 What attitude the railroads would assume as a result of today's confer ence was not made known.

 Tracy Black of Nevada county, who is student in the Agricultural Col lege of this place, has obtained a patent on an invention of a place find CT for maps. The illustration which he exhibited in our office the other day consists of a rod at top of map with another movable rod extending down. ward over the map. This last rod has a movable pointer.

MODERATE DECLINE
 IN COTTON MARKET
Tone Was Nervous and Fluctua- tiOns Irregular - Cheering News From Abroad EncOur- ages Bulls.

New York, Nov. 22.-The cotton market was less active today, with the tone rather nervous and fluctuations irregular. After selling at 28.26c early, January rallied to 28.55c, but eased off in the later trading and closed at 28.32c. The general list closed barely steady at an advance of 8 points on November, but generally II to 15 points net lower.
 There appeared to be quite a good many overnight selling orders around the ring at the start and the opening showed a decline Of one to 23 points; the more active months being IT to p points under last nights closing fig ures. Brokers with Liverpool and domestic trade connections were again good buyers, however, while a scatter ing demand was promoted by reports of further British successes in France and the market soon rallied. By the middle of the morning December had sold at 2S.94c, or two points net higher, while January and all the later months had made new high records for the season, showing net advances of 10 to 12 points, with March selling at 2S.22c. This advance appeared to meet a good deal of realizing. There was also increased selling for southern account, accompanied by reports of an easier spot basis and later fuctua- tions were irregular. Buying by trade interests appeared on the declines, but the demand seemed to taper off on the bulges, and sentiment was unsettled later in the afternoon by unfavorable political advices from Russia. Closing prices showed reactions of some 15 to 26 points from the best, with Wall Street houses among the more active sellers on the decline. IL was reported during the day that if the eastern belt basis eased another quarter of a cent cotton might come here for delivery, but 1t was also reported very difficult to secure any additional warehouse room for cotton at this port
