"DICkEY" MAY BE
POPULAR ONCE MORE

There have been so many different
items listed in the high cost Of living
in the present year of grace that at
least two items have been generally
overlooked-the increased wages paid
to cooks and the increased prices ask
ed by the 1auHdries. Both the cooks
and the launderers get the increase
they ask for and the general public
can do nothing but grin and pay the
piper for furnishing music that it does
not want to hear but is forced to dance
to.
There has been an advance of about
10 per cent in laundry prices Collars
and cuffs are now charged for al the
rate of two and one-half cents apiece
the price for laundering bed and table
linen has been put up half cent each
and in the case of sheets, one cent. 1t
costs one cent more to have a shirt done
up now than it did few weeks ago
Laundrymen state that they have
been forced TO advance prices because
of the increased cost of materials
Blueing has advanced from 40 cents a
pound TO So and IS pound; starch and
soap have gone up; chemicals used in
laundries have advanced from % to 100
and 200 per cent; cardboard on which
shirts are folded has advanced from
s1.25 to So a thousand. while paper
boxes have been advanced from So to
500 and $50 thousand
The wa" is even more directly re-
sponsible for the increase in the wages
of cooks than in any other item The
war has practically stopped immigra-
ton and it was the immigrants who
took service in the homes as cooks.
mattresses. etc. Some cooks can now
command $50 a month and their keep;
others that formerly received s25 q
month in wages now demand and get
s35 and $40 and their living. Waitress
es WHO formerly received S25 to S35
month are getting from $40 to s45.
These figures We're obtained from a re-
liable employment agency. No relief
is in sight for the dearth of cooks UNI
til the war starts the immigrants this
way again.

CITY STIRRED BY TRAGEDY
AT BAY VIEW HOTEL

IT has been a long time since the
city has been so thoroughly stirred as
It has been by the tragedy at the Bay
View hotel which cost a Fairfield
young woman her life. 1t has revealed
conditions in the city which many
people did not believe existed. There
have been stories about such things
told but the average person has met
them with the reply that this might be
true in other places but not in Wat
erville. From all parts of the city has
gone up a demand that the police and
sheriffs take steps that will make a
recurrence Of such an event en- impos-
sibility. 1t does not matter what the
social position of the people involved
is, the whole matter is that two peo-
pie were allowed to stay foS the great
er part of two weeks in one room and
that the hotel people apparently made
no effort to find out if everything was
right with them or not. 1t is probable
that this matter will be followed to
the end and that further arrests will
follow. The sordidness of it all has
struck a deep note in the life of the
city and there seems to be a well de-
fined movement to see that action is
taken to make the people who are re-
sponsible for 1t suffer,

alleged that he had sold to Willie For

quart Of whiskey on Tuesday, jan %.
He was found guilty and sentenced to

came as P result OF the questioning
which had beer done by the marshal
and during which Fortier told the
story that he had been sent out by
/ Thompson to get liquors and had got
them ut the Exchange. He identified
Bechard as the man he had bought the

DOCUMENT DELIVERED
Continued from Page one)

The Imperial government therefore
does not doubt that the government of
the United States will understand the
situation thus forced upon Germany by
the Entente Allies brutal methods Of
war and by their determination to de-
stroy the Central Powers, and that the
government of the United States will
further realize that the now openly dis
closed intention of the Entente Allies
gives back to Germany the freedom of
action which she reserved in her note
addressed to the govrnment of the
United States on May 4. 1916.
Under these circumstances. Germany
will meet the illegal measures of her
enemies by forcibly preventing after
Feb. /, 1917. in a zone around Great
Britain. France, Italy and in the east
ern Mediterranean all navigation. that
of neutrals included from and to Eng
land and from and to France. etc. All
ships met with in that zone will be
sunk.
The Imperial government is conf
dent that this measure will result in
a speedy termination Of the war and
restoration of peace which the govern
ipent of the United States has SO much
at heart. Like the government of the
United States, Germany and her allies
had hoped to reach this goal by nego-
tiations. Now that the war through
the fault of Germany's enemies. has to
be continued the Imperial government
feels sure that the government of the
United States will understand the ne
cessity of adopting such measures as
are destined to bring about a speedy
end of horrible. useless bloodshed. The
Imperial government hopes all the more
for such understanding of her position
as the neutrals have, under the pres
sure of the Entente Powers, suffered
great losses, being forced by them eth
er to give up their entire trade or to
limit it according to conditions arbitra-
rily determined by Germany's enemies
In violation of international law"
