NIAGARA FALLS, Aug. 6.-The har-
messed power Of the Niagara River
which, when the United States entered
me war, was being used for purposes
OF peaceful Industry has been turned
INTO one OF the principal factors in
production OF war necessities.
The federal governnient had to step
In to secure this result.
The treaty enacted by Great Britain
and the United States IN 1910 limits
to $4,000 cubic feet per second the
amount OF water which may he divert
ed for power purposes from Nlagara's
22OOOO cubic feet. OF this, Canada Is
entitled to take 10000 cubic feet and
the United, States 10000 per second.
Three companies operate on the Cana
dian side, and two on the States side
the Niagara Falls Power Company and
the Hydraulic Power Company.
When the United States entered the
war the Hydraulic Company was de-
livering an average OF $4,000 horse
power per day TO users In Niagara Falls
and western New York. The Niagara
Fails Power Company was delivering
l5l,OeO horsepower per day.
Uncle Sans Problem.
A great part Of this was going TO
concerns whose product could not be
used In war work. In Niagara Falls
and Buffalo are plants OF the utmost
value TO the government for war work
some OF them producing materials
made nowhere else In the United States.
Without the abraslves, such as car
borundum and graphite, manufactured
In plants here. the machine shops OF
the nation could not run. Ferro-slli-
con, phosphorus, chlorne-all vital ne
cesslties OF war-are produced In the
Niagara Falls plants, dependent upon
water power
larged because the power available
was being used TO It's maximum. BIt
the government simply had to have ad-
dltlonal production Of these war es-
sentl0ls. Furthermore, Il was iiaOera-
Two that It take over the electrOchem-
lcSl works which dot the Niagara river
bank to Turn them into factories for
producing ready gases and smoke
bombs
So the secretary Of war appointed
composed OF Robert j.
and Brigadler General Charles
Keller Of the Corps Of Engineers, to
study the power situation. They rec
commended that the government take
control Of the Niagara power. cut of
power from non-essential industries and
switch It to those essential TO win |
llns the war. Secretary Baker ap-
proved the report and designated the |
wo men to take control.

button OF power, and both companies
have obeyed to the letter.
Essentials Are Aided.
One-eleyenth Of all the power being
distributed by the two companies Is
cut off from nOn-essential industries
and re-asslgned to essentials. Eleven
thousand, five hundred and elghty-four
horsepower was taken from five COM
panies being served by the Hydroelec-
trio Power Company and resssigned to
five other companies. Twelve thousand,
five hundred and elghty-four horse
power was taken from three companies
being served by the Niagara Falls
Power Company and redlstributed to
six concerns.
Two concerns-the Defiance Paper
Company and the International Paper
Company-were deprived of all power
They put in furnaces for the produc-
tlon OF ferro-slllcon, their power was
restored, and they are now producing
ferro-sillcon instead Of print paper.
At present 1853 per cent Of the Mag
ara Falls Power Company's "julce" goes
TO direct war Industries and another
H55 per cent to transportation. OF
the Hydraulic Power Company's sup
ply g7.O5 per cent goes into war in
dustries.
The war department has taken steps
TO increase the amount Of power. The
Niagara Falls Power Company Is not
obtaining maximum results. The Hy-
draullc Power Company, on the other
hand, utilities the full head Of water
allowed II. For these reasons the war
department has brought the two COM
panies into a consolidation. which viii
result In giving the Hydraulic Com
pany all Of new allotment OF water
to be taken from the river, and which
will develop 100000 horsepower ad-
ditional.
The commission has also compelled
the Canadian power companies 10 con-
tlnue the delivery Of certain power on
the American side, which they had
threatened to cut off, This was done
through the coal administration bring
ing pressure TO bear on the Ontario
government.
Temporary extensions are also being
made at the Omario Power Company's
plant on the Canadian side TO provide
needed power for Canadian industries

pleted this fall TO two steam plants at

 The wholesale florists say that such demand as there is this veal. runs mostly 10 carnations and dahli- as. Of course. there is. stock of Easter lilies. now coming wholly from Japan in bulEs and gown here, and not at all from Bermuda in bloom, as was the case some yeaHs ago.
 The roses offered this year arc of the brightest red, nothing subdued, to go With the material music that is to be suDg. There is atl almost total , lack of anxiety for artistic effect in church decorations. Such anxiety is sail t0 have wholly passed in Eng lanl and in France. Memorial pieces

 The war has also changed ih" l'as- ter music den1ea,d this year ;n most radical fashion. Choirs everywhere are laying back on their shelves ths mildly spiritual selections :.f formal years. and have bought in as ccea quantities as their treasurits perni new music of the hellingerant siyie

Tomorrow little music published in England and France will be sung, but practically the entire Easter music demand is now met by American ccm- posers and American publishers. These are claimed to equal any Elra- pean supply, and to surpass it in the way it is presented ill printing ard paper.

War Demands For Economy Make
 Changes i'm Easter Customs

New York, March 3o.-The United States will observe it's second War" Easter tomorrow. Two days befora last Easter the declaration of war with Germany was made and the great religious festival that followed was marked by patriotic sermons deliver ed in thousands of pulpits throughout the country. together with fervent prayers that the great battle for free dom and democracy might be crown- ed with success.
 The Easter observance this wear will doubtless be inlbued with an ev- en stronger interningling Of patriot ic and spiritual sentiment than was the case last year. Twelve months of actual hostilities has awakened the nation to the seriousness and magni- tude of the task that lies before it. Virtually every church congregation in the land has sent some of it's youths to the front. In many instan- ces the pastors themselves have quit their pulpits to enter the nation ser- vice.
 hC M ,iiIiSoto t-ii' SoolCty Io customarily associated with the Eas- ter festival will be lacking to a con- siderable extent in the observance tomorrow The florists reiort that the demand for Easter flowers is far below that of previo.s. years, es pecially the demand for decoration in church. They say they anticipated the change, owing to the war, and estimate that sales will reach hard ly a half of former years
 People whe usually spent large sums for flowers for house and per sonal ornamentaion are saving their money this Easter for charity. Some churches that formerly gave orders to florists to decorate chancels, and paid some of them as much as $4 900, merely for the use Of the flowers, have cut out their orders altogether this year.
 Yeas ago the custom obtained Of buying the flowers outright. and then distributing them in hospitals on Icas- ter Monday, but hospitals came 10 be swamped, and the dealers came to
