will call for the immediate expenditure
Of more money than can be spared
from current revenues.
The Great Falls increased water sup

In response to q further question
Mr.. sisson stated that 1it was relic

Now it so happens that most Wash

TEN Of voting went out of existence in
1874, and that the act Of Congress CIV
ing the judges the power to appoint
school board members was enacted and
went into effect in 1906, thirty-two
years later, at time when the Com
missioners themselves were naming the
school trustees. They may be wrong.
Perhaps the present historian Of the

ing that the local records are mac

awaited with keen interest.

Christmas Mailing Schedule.

Postmaster Chance urges the people
of Washington to follow a certain
schedule in mailing Christmas parcels
to various parts Of the country. If
the patrons of the post Office will OBJ
serve this range of dates they. will
not only assist the postal organization
to move the enormous quantity Of
mail that is intrusted to it at this sea-
son, but will serve themselves and as
sure the delivery of gifts in time.
Mail congestion is serious at best in
present conditions. When the i'm
mense amount Of holiday gifts is add
cd to the normal burden the mails must
carry the result is serious choking
of all the facilities and channels. If
people who are sending packages to
distant points will merely take the
precaution Of following Mr.. Chances
time table they can rest fairly we'll
assured that those whore tksy aro 80
Numbering fer Christmas will get their

Shedding Light on Local History.

Shedding Light on Local History.
Washingtonians should not neglect
the Congressional Record these days,
for they will find much interesting
reading in it and arc likely to dis
cover in its pages bits Of local history
Of which they have hitherto been I'M
aware. For IN example, in its report
of the proceedings Of the House on
Monday while the District appropria.

sentative sisson, in charge of the
measure, explained to an inquiring col
league that the reason for the pro-
posed transfer to the District Com
missioners Of the power of. appointing
members Of the board Of education was
"a good, long history" but consented
to make the following brief statement
Of the case:

Reaction in Prussia.

If it is true that Prince Henry OF
Prussia has started counter revolu-
ton and proclaimed a royalist party,
reaction has started in Germany that
may lead to serious consequences, even
to the full resumption Of hostilities.
In connection with this statement,
which comes from Amsterdam, is q
declaration by Berlin paper that it
has learned "from a reliable source"
that the entente powers will refuse to
conclude a preliminary peace treaty
with Germany before the meeting of
the German national assembly.
It would be tfs height of folly for
the allies to - a step beyond the
armistice in the sirsction of peace I'M
til there is some Ero6stantlar ,l:ganiza-
ton in Germany with which definitive
peace can be arranged. Peacc pre-
sumes responsibility on the part of the
signatories, and there can be no respon-
sibility in the state Of things now pre-
vail;nz in Germany, closely approach
ing chaos.
Prince Henry's reputed movement
for a royalist reaction is not to be
lightly treated as a mere passing
phase. The scene of the counter revo-
luton which he is reported to have in
augurated is significant The story
runs that he is besieging Thorn, a
fortress on Germany's eastern frontier.
Southern and Western Germany, large
ly non-Prussian in tendency, may not
support a reaetionary movement, but
the region named as the ground of the
princes enterprise is strongly Prus-
sian, the original seat, indeed, Of the
Hohenzollerns.
In this connection dispatch coming
through Copenhagen states that the
kaiser's old guard at Potsdam and Ber-
lin is cooperating with the Berlin gov
crnment to suppress all extremist dis
turbances, and that announcement to
this effect has caused much excitement
in the Berlin soviet An alliance be-
tween the monarchist elements and the
Ebert government has been suspected
from the beginning. Cooperation be-
tween the old guard and the provi-
sional government may be no more than
a mere police preeaution, but until the
situation has resolved into something
closer to order than at present prevails
all such associations inevitably breed
suspicion.
Evidence that Germany does not re-
gard herself as beaten in the field and
is in no wise repentant for the sins OF
the war continues to develop. Ex-Chan-
cellor Macmillan has issued state
ment referring to the "unheard-cf op-
preston which the enemy's lust for re-
venge and fever of victory has in
fiicted upon our fatherland," and urg-
ing President Wilson to bear in mind
"his given word" regarding just
peace and a league Of nations. This is
not the language Of a defeated power.
Ever since the armistice was signed
and steps were taken for its execution
there have been signs of the preva-
lence Of view in Germany that it was
Int a truce preliminary to peace nego-
tiations in which Germany should have
part on a parity with the other powers.
The severity of the terms of the armis-
tice has not been interpreted as a to-
ken Of German overthrow. Something
is necessary at Paris or in the field to
demonstrate the definite defeat Of
Germany's military power.

Bernstorf regretted that newspaper

The effort to put Bernstorff to the

WANTS DEATH PENALTY
FOR ARMY DESERTIONS

Washington, Feb. 2S.-Recom-
mendations by Major General Chas.
G. Treat, commanding the 37th Ma
tional Guard division, that the death
penalty be imposed to check deser-
tiois and to bring soldiers to a
realization OF the gravity of that
offense, have been disapproved by
Secretary Baker. General Treat
based his recommendation on the
number of desertions from his COM
mand, composed almost entirely of
of Ohio troops and stationed at
Camp Sheridan, Montgomery Ala.
1t would be unwise at this time,
Secretary Baker held, for the war
department to formulate a definite
policy, but he instructed the adju-
tant general to issue bulletin to
the army pointing out the serious
ness with which desertlons must
be regarded in time of war.
The secretary acted on an opin-
ion by the Judge advocate general,
which held there is a clearly drawn
difference between descrtion from
training camps in this country and
desertions in the zone Of hostilities.

GRAIN.

Chicago, Feb. 28.-Unfavorable
weather tended today to strengthen
the corn market. Snow and rain
prevailed over a wide area, with
more moisture in prospect. Damage
to the quality of corn was said to be
likely, and the conditions were ad-
verse to the progress of the crop
movement.
After opening a shade higher,
with May $l.25 7-Sal.27, the mar
kct reacted a trilc and then rose a
little higher than before
Scantiness of receipts gave some
transient strength to oats. The
market, though, was later depressed
by reports OF ditficultry in obtaining
cars Tor eastern shipments. Open
ing prices, which ranged from a
shade to IA cent higher, with May
8S to 8S l-8, were followed by Slight
further gains, and then sag to
below yesterdays finish.
Liquldating sales kept the market
depressed throughout the day.

STORM WRECKS
SMELLING PLANTS
IN KANSAS TOWNS

Kansas City, Mo, Feb. ga Sc
we're windstorm which struck lola,
Kan, and vicinity late last night, de
stroyed a smelling plan at lola and
another at Carlisle, four miles north
of that place, according to mcager
reports received here today. All wire
communication is reported severed
in and around lola.
Miles of telephone and telegraph
poles are reported down in south
eastern Kansas, and railroads are
having difficulty in moving trains,
thus isolating a number of small
towns near lola and giving rise to
many uncouhrmcd rumors as to the
damage done by The gale.
One story is to the effect that a
Santa Fe engineer was blown from
his cab near Colony, Kan, and an
other report tells OF destruction Of
houses at Gas City and the explo-
sion of gas there.
Hail of unusual size, however,
driven by the 50-milc hurricane, is
known to have caused considerable
damage in the storm area. Wire Of
hcials do not expect to restore ade-
quate communication for several
hours, it is said.

THE NEW METHOD.

(By /. w. Bower, NJ. d.
Backache OF any kind is often
caused by kidney disorder which
means that the kidneys are not
working properly. Poisonous mat
ter and uric acid accumulate within
the body in great abundance, over
working the sick kidneys; hence the
congestion of blood causes backache
III the same manner as a similar con-
geStion in the head causes headache.
You become nervous, dcspondcnt,
sick, feyerish, irritable, nave spots
appearing before the eyes, bags un-
der the lids, and lack ambition to
do things.
The latest and most effective
means of overcoming this trouble
is to eat sparingly OF meat, drink
plenty OF water between meals and
take single An-u-ric tablet before
each meal for a while.
