SHIPS WORLD OVER
Large Force Abroad Seeking
Tonnage to Defeat Gen.
trail Powers.
KEEP ESTIMATES SECRET

In its search of the world for ship
tonnage to aid in defeating the CEN
trail powers, the United States is build
ing up the largest force of commercial
experts which it ever has stationed in
foreign countries.
Primarily the work of the CONNER
cial representatives of the State De-
partment. the Department of Commerce
and the War Trade Board will have to
do with the war, but in cooperating
with the government and business
leaders of other nations they will
spread a knowledge of American prod
ucts and trade ideals that officials ex-
pect will increase Americas commerce
after the war.
Put Every Ship to War Purposes.
2 Completion of the foreign staff of the
War Trade Board is being pushed as
rapidly possible, it was said yester-
day, so that early results may be had
from the governments decision to put
every available ship to war purposes
by restricting trade to necessities The
State Department also is sending spe-
cial representatives to countries which
will be affected by the licensing of i'm
ports into the United States, and COM
Commerce are assisting in the work.
The war trade experts will have three
principal duties: To prevent goods
reaching Germany, to guide the course
mage as possible. They now have been
stationed in London. Paris, Bern,
Scandinavia, Rio Janeiro, Buenos Aires
and Toxic.
Estimates of the tonnage expected to
be put into transatlantic service by re-
Stricting trade with South America and
the far east are being guarded closely
by the shipping board and War Trade
Board as likely to be of military value
to the enemy in indicating the size of
the army which this country hopes to
put in Europe. Neutral tonnage is ex-
pected to replace American and British
vessels in non-hazardous routes through
negotiations now in progress.
New Department Established.
In preparation for recommending the
lcurtailment of trade with certain coun-
tries. the shipping board has eStab-
afshed a new department to which rep
resentatives of industry will offer their
advice as to the amount of the reduc-
ton to be made in the Importation of
materials affecting them.
At it would be impossible to consult
each individual firm, the industries will
be reached through their trade asso-
cations or war service committees.
Recommendations of the shipping
beard as to how much tonnage can be
taken from any one route will be used
by the War Trade Board as basis for
refusing licenses for sufficient mer-
chandise to permit the release of that
tonnage. Officials have refused to in
efcate what commodities would be af-
fected first, but it is known that deal
ars in silk have been here to discuss
the probable effect of the licensing on
trade with China and Japan

One Objection Removed.

One of the main objections to the bill
as originally framed has been removed
by an amendment which forbids the
sanitary commission to issue bonds un-
less authorized SO to do by the public
service commission of Maryland 1t is
estimated that it will not be necessary
to issue more than 100000 of these
bonds during the first year after the
passage of the bill, and the idea is to
issue such bonds periodically as the
work of installing the water and sew
erage systems progresses.
During the session of the general as
sembly OF 1916 an act was passed pro-
viding for the establishment of a san
itary district in Montgomery and
Prince Georges counties and for the
appointment of a commission to make
an Investigation and preliminary de-
fsigns for water supply and sewerage
systems for the sanitary districts. This
commission comprises William T. S.
Curtis, chairman; T. Howard Duckett
and Emory H. Bogley. The commission
has been energetically engaged for the
last two years in studying the situa-
ton, and the results of it's investiga-
ton are set forth in it's report to the
Legislature.

GERMAN PRE-WAR TRAP
Reveals His Reply to Teuton Am

Frances Stand.
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, March Rene viviani, who
was premier and foreign minister when
the war began and was at the head of
the French government for more than a
year thereafter, says in an interview
with the Petit Journal that he knew
nothing of the instructions sent by the
then German chancellor, Dr. Won Beth
mann Hoilweg, to Baron Won Schoen
then German ambassador at Paris, re-
garding the conditions on which France
if she remained neutral in the war be-
tween Germany and Russia, was to
guarantee her neutrality. On, an adj
dress yesterday the French foreign
minister, Stephen Pichon. quoted the in
structions from DR.. Won Bethmann HoII-
veg that France would be required to
turn over the fortresses of Toul and
Verdun to Germany for the duration of
the war with Russia if she decided to
remain neutraD.
Needless to say. Baron Won Schoen
did not transmit the proposal to me-"
said NJ. Viviani. He thus spared me the
humiliation of hearing of the dishonor-
able bargain proposed and spared him
self the humiliation of hearing NV reply.

Agitation Began in 1910.

agitation for the correction of the
admittedly bad sanitary and unsatis-
factory water conditions in the many
suburbs within the area now compris-
ing the Washington suburban sanitary
district" says the report, began to
take definite form as early as 1910. The
insanitary condition of Little Falls
branch, the growing pollution of Rock
creek and the increasing offensiveness
of the Anacostia river were beginning
to awaken a dread not only in the san
itary district, but in the District of
Columbia itself, of an epidemic of ty-
pheid or other diseases. In the very
nature. of things it was impossible for
the District of Columbia to feel safe
with the sewage of approximately 90
600 people passing through it in open
streams
The first step taken was in the fall of
1911. when commission was formed
known as the Prince Georges and
Montgomery counties sewerage COM

To Cost So, 500, 600.

1t is estimated that to complete the
project as outlined by the Washington
suburban sanitary commission will in
volve an expenditure of practically
$2,500,000. So far as Prince Georges
county is concerned, this is stagger-
ing proposition by reason of the fact
that the people are now carrying a
burden aggregating $1.72 con the 800
Already it looks as though an addi-
tional $4,000 will have to be raised
within the next year for the construc-
ton of high school in, Upper Marl-
ooro and a graded school at College
Park. Both these institutions are re-
garded as necessary for the proper ed
ucational development of the sections
concerned, but their construction means
more taxes will have to be paid by the
people. Despite this, however, the SEN
timent in favor of the passage of the
bill is pronounced

Two Plans Considered.

The commission considered two plans
regarding the sewerage problem: One of
treating the sewage in large disposal
plants at the District of Columbia line
and the other of direct connection with
the District of Columbia intercepting
sewers The commission adopted the lat
ter project. and with the approval of the
Commissioners of the District of Co
lumbia secured a provision in the act of
Congress of 1917 authorizing these con-
nections.
While the authorities of the District of
Columbia agreed that the sanitary dis
trict should be supplied from the Dis
trict's water system. the needs and ca
pacity of the latter's system entered
largely into the solution of the problem
At the time the investigation was made
the maximum capacity of the Districts
system was 100000 gallons daily and
the average daily consumption about
55.OOO,OO0, leaving a margin of 10000, 900
gallons per day. The estimated maximum
consumption of the sanitary district for
the next ten years is estimated at 5000, 900
gallons daily, SO that it is apparent that
there was sufficient leeway in the supply
to warrant an extension into Maryland.
The extension of the Districts system
into Maryland was authorized by Con-
gress in 1917.

ANNAPOLIS, March 2.-The act to

SOLDIERS DO NOT WANT
PREMATURE PEACE NOW

The Stars and Stripes. the official
newspaper published by the soldiers
of the American Expeditionary Forces
in France, says editorially about the
enemy peace offensive:
Let the weak hearted who are
dreaming of a compromise; let the
pacifists who are talking a peace by
agreement; let the sideliners who have
had enough of war; let the secretly
inclined pro-Germans who think this
war should end without decision-let
them one and all know once and for
all that for the American Expedition
airy Force there is no such word as
Peace with the Huns unbeaten. The
man who talks of peace today, except
through victory, is a traitor"
The enemy peace offensive is likened
to the action of German machine-gun
crews in the Vesle fighting, when they
fought and killed Americans until they
were surrounded, then shouted the de-
testible "Kamerad."
The mothers of the American SOL
diers in France want the same peace
their sons demand. All the courage of
the ancient Spartan mother is in the
hearts of the women of America.
The object of the fourth Liberty
loan is to bring that peace-a just
peace, righteous peace, an American
peace.

REN0'S SPANISH INFLENZA
CASES JUST PLAIN GRIPPE

The cases of influenza reported in
Reno Tuesday are not of the epidemic
kind, so generally known now as
Spanish" influenza, but just ordinary
grip" according to the statements of
Drs. Mcintyre, Morrison and Ruediger
says the Reno Gazette of yesterday
The doctors do not make this Off
cially, however. as no official state
ment viii be issued until the result
of the blood tests now being made at
the state hygienic laboratory has been
reported. This will be tomorrow
morning.
Physicians are anxious to impress
on everybody that there is no cause
for alarm. In fact, scare" is believed
by many medical authorities to be
one of the chief factors in the epi-
demic development of some diseases.
The physicians of Reno are sincerely
convinced, they say, that there is no
reason for anxiety on the part of any
one.
There is absolutely no cause for
alarm in this city" said DR.. Ruediger
this afternoon: "as every precaution
has been taken to prevent the spread
of the so-called Spanish influenza
should it reach here or if the cases
of the grip now under observation
should develop into that of the epi-
demic kind"
The city health officers have
directed all physicians to report at
once all suspected cases. In the event
the slightest sign of an epidemic
should be observed. all public places
will be closed at once and all patients
isolated.

WARNING AGAINST
GERM PEACE TALK

This morning and in fact for several
days past all sorts of rumors have
been spread, not only in Winnemucca.
but all over the United States, regard
ing the war and particularly peace.
The telegraphic report published in
today's issue of The Silver State is
very significant. but the intent may be
lost upon busy readers who do not
take time to thoroughly digest the
news. The report starts off with
vague rumors" of the kaiser abdi-
eating, self-government in Austria.
ETC., but is ended by a prompt denial
of the rumors by the treasury depart
ment at Washington. These facts,
coupled together with the fact that
the fourth liberty loan is likely to be
a failure, should convey another idea,
and that is that all of this peace talk
is nothing more nor less than German
propaganda to slow up the sale of
liberty bonds.
The way the Germans would like to
have Americans reason is roughly as
follows: why should l sacrifice my
own comforts when peace is so near?
If l subscribe for as many bonds as /
had planned | will have to go without
the things 1 desire. Peace will soon
be here and then America will not
need my money"
But be too smart for the Germans
Uncle Sam will tell you when peace
is near and he no longer needs your
money, but right now he is pleading
for your money. his brave soldier boys
over there, who are wiling to sacrifice
their lives for your liberty. are plead
ing for your money, that they may
carry on. Don't take a Germans
word against your government.
