WATER roo MUDDY TO CLARITY


Not for many years has the water
in the Arkansas river been as thick
with mud as it is at the present time
and the city authorities are having no
end of trouble in consequence of II.
Almost daily rains along the upper
course of the river have washed i'm
mense volumes of dirt into its chan
mel and the flow is but little more
than a semi-fuid substance as a re-
suit of this unusual stare of affairs.
1t is impossible TO clarity it at the set
Ting basins of the waterworks reser-
voir as rapidly as required by con-
sumers and they will. probably, be
compelled to use II in a more or less
diluted state for a short time. The
water superintendent is doing every
thing to improve conditions and hopes
to be able TO supply the public with
a good quality OF water for drinking
and household purposes in the course
of the next few days. Many people
are boiling the water TO precipitate
the impurities 1t contains in its pres
ent state.

has begun to realize the position with
which she is confronted.
AT the same time the demand OF
the Allies for reparation, is ignored
totally. There is no doubt that the
negotiations are a form OF camouflage
by which Germany Is attem pting to-
talk to the Allies through Russia. It
is a general peace that Germany and
Austria Hungary want and behind
Cxernin's words there is, we think,
perfectly sincere desire, to end the
war at once. The offer, for what is
worth, 10 obviously genuine.
Germany is pledged definitely to
the principle Of restitution, thereby
bluntly repudiating vonTirpitz and
the other pan Germans, but while res
titution is accepted, PREPARATION is
secuted. Reparation will be accepted
as the price Of the restoration Of
those economic relations without
which Germany cannot live.
IAN authoritative allied reply to-
Count Czernin might be demonstra-
ton to the German people that the
Allies have no wish to contrive their
destruction. hinder their development
or threaten their independence. When
they once understood what the Allies
stand for and what really are their
Intentions. the German people them
selves will complete the, destruction
OF that militarism which has set out
to conquer tho world"
