WATER SUPPLY IS SUFFICIENT
 AT THE PRESENT
Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand Gallons in One Reservoir This
 Afternoon.

Juneau has a good supply of water at the present time This fact was made evident by an investigation made this afternoon by The Empire 10 ascertain if there was any toun- dation Co the rumOrs of a water shortage which have been going the rounds for the past few days.
 It is Q fact, however that the wa ter situation is not all that it should be. but there is no danger Of wa ter famine. The small tank on Franklin Street which is connected with the low pressure or down town system. is full and has been since the start of the cold weather.
 At one of the large tanks on the hill at 2 o'clock this afternoon the water was standing at depth of six feet. which means that there was at that time over 25O,OOO gallons of water in the tank. The water then was at it's lowest stage as the heay' lest demands on the water supply come during the morning hours.
 The other tank was empty and will remain so for the next week or until repairs are male. At the rear of this tank, where the old reservoir was torn out. the wal |bulged as 1t was green" when the water was first turned in and tn, . Water Company had been unable to bank the wall with dirt as eX pected. The water was at once emptied out of the tank and the wal I will be strengthened, which will take about Q week.
 Now that the milder weather i! here. it is not expected that anl trouble will be had in keeping the main tank full, as people who havD been forced to let their faucets rul
 in order to prevent their freezing now being able to shut them off a
 night, thus conserving the supply

Peace Proposals Turned Down by Enemies Who Want to Destroy
 FatherIand.
ALLIES ARE TO BLAME
Further Sacrifice of War and Carnage to Fol- low Caused by the
 EntenteS.

BERLIN, Jan. 6.-Calling upon both the German navy and the men on the various fronts, the German Ecperor today issued an order for the defenders of the Imperial gov ernment to fight the present war until justice for Germany has been attained.
 The order which has been sent to all quarters of the German army and navy and which was published here today is as follows:
 "Coniointly with our Allied rulers, I proposed to our enemies to enter forthwith into peace negotiations.
 "our enemies refused my offer, their hunger for power desires Ger many's destruction.
 The war will therefore be con tinued and before God and humanity I declare that on the governments of our enemies alone falls the heavy responsibility for all further terrific sacrifices from which l wished to save.
 With justified indignation at our enemies arrogant crime and with the determination to defend our holiest possessions and secure for the Fatherland happy future, you will become as steel. Our enemies did not want the understanding offered by me. With Gods help our arms will enforce it.

SEATTLE, Jan. 6.-The Situa- tion here as regards the city's nor al health as being disclosed by the United States government agents, in their efforts to secure evidence to bring about indictments for vio- lation of the federal laws, especially in the matter of bootleggmg, are very likely to eclipse the sensational times when former chief of police, Wappenstein, fell from grace, the ultimate outcome being that he was sent to prison and subsequently, pa roled. The present conditions indi- cate that Logal Billingsley and E. J. Margett will be in star roles the same as played by Gideon, Tupper and Clarence Gerald.
 Everything that is being disclosed by the Federal secret service men IS being submitted to Prosecuting At- torney Alfred Iundin of a county grand jury or a wholesale filing Of information by the prosecutor him. self.
 In addition to the sensational charges of bribery made against Mayor Gill, Sheriff Hodge, Chief of Police Charles Rockingham and also Snohomish County authorities, about forty men of the Seattle Po- lice Department are alleged to be deep in graft, one report today hay- ing been circulated that the gam bling houses in operation here are alone paying $2O,OOO tribute each month.
 The inside information indicates that the present city, county and state upheaval has been brought about by Rev. Mark A. Matthews, of the First Presbyterian church, the same individual who hired Burns detectives to expose the graft dur ing the Wappenstein regime.
 If is known that Rev. Matthews has virtually broken with Mayor Gill whom he recently characterized as a "hypocrite" in one of his talks to the federal officials.
 Mayor Gill is putting up bold front and he profesSeS to believe that Logan Billingsley will not go through with the damaging charges made in his confession to the fed eral grand jury and to United States District Attorney Clay Allen.
 Mayor GillS play of openly dis cussing the threatened storm was answered by Allen in the following words: If MT. Gill chooses to an ticipate the action of the investiga' ton in the federal grand jury, ht is at liberty to talk as much as ht likes. ! do not care to do so."
