Look For Water Leaks
in the Thirteenth Ward

The Water Department has started
an investigation in the Thirteenth
Ward TO locate any leaks in the mains
or outlets to residences because of the
drop in water at the high service
reservoir. 1t Is believed residents of
the Thirteenth Ward either are vast
ing water, by letting outlets open, or
that there are leaking pipes at some
of the houses.
The water level in the big reservoir
is being maintained at twenty six
feet by using the electric pump at
times in addition to the two old
pumps. Repairs on the 10000. 900 gal
Ion pump are being completed, and il
in four days in case of any emergency.
Commissioner Hassler reports.

INFLUENZA SHOWS SUDDEN INCREASE
By Review Leased Wire)

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S-Both influ- enza and pneumonia showed a sharp increase at army camps during the AS hours ending at noon today, the cause being ascribed by the surgeon general tonight to the arrival of new men at camps in the south and south west.

cLERY-LE-eRANDE CLEAR.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY NORTHWEST OF VERDUN, Oct. 2S. -(By the Associated Press. )-Night patrols reported early today that Clery-Le-Grande had been cleared of the Germans.
 Farther west observers reported that the enemy was digging in in the region of the La Dhuy farm east of the Bois Des HaZois.
 Aerial photographs taken within the last few days indicate that the Germans are not devoting much labor organizing their front line or forward positions, leading U the belief that they possibly will fall back upon as yet unidentified positions in the rear if they are compelled to do so. The photographs show that even existing trenches have not been worked over. The work has been limited to fo& holes and organized shell holes.
 The enemy probably intends to de fend his position chiefly by taking ad- vantage of the natural features of the terrian.
 Experts figure that it is the inten- tion of the Germans to delay any ad- vance of the Americans and render such advance as costly as possible by covering the Landres-St. Georges ridge from positions immediately behind ii, passing their defense on the dominat- ing ground to the north and west and taking advantage of the hills and woods on other parts of the frcnt

CAMPAIGN TO OPEN IN CITY
 ON THURSDAY
War Work Activity Will Start
 Here With Appearance of Dr. Robert P. Shepherd
 With Message From Front

The first activities in the Warren district in connection with the United war work campaign, the drive for funds for the seven organizations which are taking home to the boys in the trenches" will take place Thurs day, October 31, when pr. Robert P. Shepherd, overseas representatives of the Y. M. c. A., and Dr. Dean Emery, a business man of New York now working for the success of the cause, will arrive here for a conference with local representatives of the war work campaign. The two visitors will remain throughout the day, and will hold meetings with workers, speak CTS and others locally connected with the drive.
 Dr. Shepherd has been in France almost continuously for the past year. He is one of the most representative of the men assigned to the Y. M. c. A. forces abroad, and is one of the most forceful speakers who has ever ap- peared in the west At the recent meeting of war work campaign speak CTS in Phoenix, Dr. Shepherd deliv- cred several striking addresses, and his message from the boys at the front is a revelation of the wonderful as- sistance the seven allied agencies are going the soldiers in France.
 Dr. Emery is an attorney of New York city. His special mission on this trip is to instruct speakers in the manner in which they should appeal to the public in the conduct of the campaign in each community. He speaks convincingly of the war, de tails the work being done by eastern cities, outlines the manner in which speakers can best appeal to various audiences and leaves with his audi ence a vast amount of valuable in formation and knowledge.
 Dr. Emery and Dr. Shepherd are the advance guard in the west of the war work campaign. They speak and talk of each of the seven allied agen- cies for which the campaign is con ducted-the Y. NJ. C. A, the Y. W. c. A., the National Catholic War Council (Nights of Columbus), the Jewish Welfare board. the War Camp Com munity service, the American Library association and the Salvation army. The two speakers have already visited most of northern and central Arizona and New Mexico and west Texas, and following their meeting here will continue on their trip toward the Atlantic coast.
 Dr. Shepherd brings a message di- rect from the trenches. He speaks both of and for the soldiers. He tells how the American army is behaving in France, how they fight, how they play, and of their overwhelming home sickness.
 Our boys are not only the best fed and the best clothed the world has ever known" he told his audience in Phoenix. but they are the best be- haved army the world has ever known. Our men are setting a standard for soldiery for the whole world. There are two great things which the minds of the French are unable to compre- hend-the abandoned cruelty of the Germans, and how our boys from the
