TO ADVERTISE FOR BIDS ON
LAYING OF 12-IMCH MAINS
Money Available to Extend the Water
Service to Kendall and
West Tulsa,

A committee composed of Comm's-
sloner c. S. Younkman. Engineer
Stevens Of the firm of Stevens & Stiles
Of Kansas City and w. w. Harris, st!-
pervising construction engineer for the
city OF Tulsa. was appointed yesterday
morning by the board of city conmis-
sioners to draw plans and have pub
lished requests for bids on the install
lation and the purchase Of a huge
quantity of water main pipe, suffl-
cient to gird the city with 12-inch
line and TO extend service into Ken
dali and West Tulsa.
The money for this improvement
has been voted and is now available,
but the uncertain price of iron pipe
has caused the city commissioners to
hesitate before letting bids fer any
large amounts Of this material. Now
that the government has fixed price
on pig iron. which in turn had a ten
dency TO lower the price OF pipe, the
city fathers feel that they can gp
ahead and ask fer bids for enough
pipe to install several units of the
work. Their decision was fathered by
the repeated requests placed before
them by the residents Of Kendall, West
Tulsa and especially by the national
fire underwriters board. which has
declared that satisfactory insurance
rates cannot be secured until ample
protection is afforded by a. belt line"
around tho city.
Engineer Stevens will set about at
once to prepare data on which the city
will accept bids for the laying of the
pipe and the advertisement will APP
pear within a very short time. calling
for bids on the sizes and quantities of
pipe needed to make the desired irI-
provements

THEATERS IMPROPERLY
EQUIPPED FOR FLAMES
Some Amusement Houses Not
Living up to Fire Ordi-
dinances it is Said.

In its ramifications, the movement
building fire which has as its pur-
pose the securing of better fire regu-
lations and projections in this city,
has found that many of the theaters
of Tulsa are not living up &c the let.
ter of the fire ordinances, AMI that any
day there may occur a fire which will
destroy thousands of dollars worth or
property and probably scores Of lives
In discussing this feature Af law vio-
lation Yesterday city official de-
clared that there were theaters In the
city in which the fire projections were
worse than If none had been installed
and that those which were in place
were of such nature that dn attempt
to use them might cost the lives Of
many persons.
Especially true Is this Of one theater.
according TO this official, who declares
that the fire hose in this popular play
house is of an ancient make AMI that
II was not of sufficient strength to be
of use in case Of an emergency.
"The hose in this house" this Off
cial continued, was Installed when
the house was first built. Since that
time I do not believe that II has beer
hing purposes. then placed back on
the rack without drying II has mi,-
dewed and rotted so that 1t would ue
impossible to use it with pressure"
The real danger Of this condition,
and like eases in other buildings, is~
seen when 1t Is shown that any re-N
lance placed on such equipment by
the patrons OF the place would he
shattered when the real test came and
Y ho nf those
depended upon the hose for safety
would be lost.
A movement to have such establish
ment to replace all defective fire hose
and other fire e-fighting equipment has
been started and will be carried on
with the authority of the city AMI state
fire laws.

PEACE WITH AUSTRIA
DEPENDS ON EVENTS

LONDON, May 14.-In the house of
commons John Amman Bryce, liberal
member for Inverness urghs, referring
to the talk heard in foreign countries
as to the desirability of making a
separate peace with Austria, which. he
said, was producing a deplorable i'm
preston in some of the allied nations.
invited the government to declare that
in no circumstances would it conclude
such peace with Austria. He believ-
ed such a declaration would have an
excellent effect in Russia.
Andrew Bonar Law, in replying, said
there had never been a question of
making a separate peace, but he con-
sidered the whole matter depended on
circumstances.
Germany is always trying to de-
tach some of the allies" he added, "and

Austria Against War.

"The difference between Germany and
Austria is that the German nation is
united, while the majority of the Aus
trian nation has been against the war
all along. Nevertheless, Austria
initiated ana provoked the war; Ger
many merely accepted the situation
and came in.
aside from the German-Austrians and
the Magyars, the two ruling classes, all
the nations of Austria Hungary have
been against war from the start. This
applies especially to the Bohemians.
Bohemian regiments repeatedly declined
to fight and did everything in their power
to impede the contral powers and help the
enemy. Bohemia has been thoroughly
punished for all this. The Bohemian SOL
diers were sent to dangerous fronts, their
regiments were diluted with various un-
pleasant elements; their leaders were
thrown into prison.
"An this has not made Bohemia any
more friendly to the ruling powers or
the war. The whole Bohemian nation is
against Austria and against the war. The
same applies to other elements in the
Austro- Hungarian monarchy, the south
Slavs, the Poles and the Austro-Ru-
manians.
