THE WATER SITUATION

M S shown by news story
elsewhere today the re-
commentator of Profess
sor Beckwith, state bacteriolo-
gist, is that the water supply be
treated as it passes through the
gate house at Thorn Hollow.
He suggests this course be fol-
lowed as long as it is necessary
to take water from the river
and advises that drinking water
be boiled until arrangements
are made for treating the wa
ter. With certain improve
ments at Bingham Springs it
will be possible for that resort
to continue in operation with
out being a menace to the
health of the community.
Unquestionably the sugges-
tions made will be followed and
when this is done there will
need be no fear as to the quail
ity of water available for PEN
dleton. 1t will be much better
than was the water from the
old pumping system. It will be
far better than the water avail
able for many of the William
cite valley towns and for num-
erous large eastern cities.
The fact remains, however,
that there will always be some
misgivfngs on the subject as
long as any water is taken di-
rectly from the river. The cor
rect solution is to connect as
quickly as possible with the
new springs so as to eliminate
the use of river water.
1t is also timely to reiterate
that the water problem is an
exceedingly important one for
Pendleton and that we need to
give close study to the subject
so as to be sure at all times of
an ample supply for future
nseds. ,
Pendleton can afford to do
everything necessary to obtain /
the best and most abundant
supply of water to be had. 1t
cannot afford to do less.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1918-07-10

Pendleton is going to need
more good water to. supply
more and more good people
who will come to our town as
our good roads are extended
farther and farther.

ures for workers in the warning
countries, ten European natl
ons having adopted health in
lsurance before the outbreak of
Ihostilities. The information
was officially requested of the
association some months ag',
by the First National Confer
ence of Health Insurance Com
missioners, representing nine
lstate legislatures.
During the war Italy has
expanded her workmen's COM
ipenSation laws to include agri-
cultural workers as well as fac
tory workers, and has also pro-
vided specifically for a COM
mission to draft a compulsory
health insurance law" says
the report. Sweden has with
lin a few months passed a com
lpulsory health insurance law.
The canton of Zurich in Switz-
erland has now adopted COM
lpulsory health insurance. In
England the system of social
insurance has been extended in
the midst of war, so that bene-
fits under the workmen's COM
pensation act have been tenn
porarily liberalized 25 per
cent, and under the old age
pension law about SO per cent,
and the unemployment insur-
ance law has been expanded to
cover about SO per cent more
people.
"England's action is particu-
larly interesting" the report
continues, because the British
are looking forward to the time
Immediately after peace is de-
clared for the great demobili-
cation of not only the soldiers
and sailors but also of the mu-
milton workers. They plan to
utilize this unemployment in
surance so as to cover these

through a period of three years,
with very definite guarantees. |
improvements were also made
in the health insurance law"
The central powers also, it is
have considerably Ii
beralized their workmen's com
pensation and health insurance
systems as we'll as their old
age pension laws.
"Threadbare is the comment
that most European countries
had in times of peace taken
steps in social insurance legis-
lation far in advance of similar
in the United

'Of greater significance for US
now is the fact that those coun-
ries have. continued greatly to
the benefits of such
legislation in the midst of war"

GERMAN SOLDIERS Get
LIBERAL ALLOWANCE

AMSTERDAM, April "a mutt
lation allowance" ranging from $6.7j
to $3.50 a month is what the German
soldiers gets from grateful father
land for injuries which make it i'm
possible, or almost impossible, for him
to earn living.
Recent legislation has fixed these
new amounts, and it is provided that
the regulations shall be interrupt
ed in a liberal sense" Thus, if arm
or leg wounds may be fairly regarded
as equivalent to the complete loss of
the limb, the invalid is entitled to the
allowance.
The allowance is also earned when
the consequences of head wounds or
internal injuries involve regular hos
pital attendance, or, as the regulation
puts it, Z" if the invalid cannot take
nourishment in public-owing to in
juries to the face or jaw-without at
tracing public notice"
All these come under the lower
scale. The higher rate applies to those
unfortunate war victims, formerly the
sole bread-winners of their families,
who have become complete mental
wrecks and require continuous care.

MERCHANTS WILL
Give REPORTS ON
ALL FLOUR SALES
UNDER new RULES

~ NJ Dudley. deputy food admins
traitor for this county, will return to-
night from Atlanta. where he went to
attend gathering of county food adj
ministration officials. The conference
was called by DR.. A. M. Soule, federal
food administrator for Georgia, and
far-reaching regulation of -four sales
will result therefrom. A saving OF
heat flour estimated at seventy per
cent. of present usage is anticipated
as result of new regulations to be
enforced in Georgia, and retail flour
sales will be more closely guarded, as
we'll as wholesale transactions in this
commodity.
This morning in Atlanta. Mr.. Dudley
was told by Dr. Soule that the fed
eral food administration will imme-
diately promulgate new ruling COM
polling retail merchants of Georgia
frHm the crossroads trader to the
bigtown merchant, to keep an exact
account of the aomunt of flour he has
purchased, the amount of sales to the
consumer, and to furnish a weekly re-
PORT of these amounts to his Local
food administration,
This rule Is intended to eliminate
tendency to evade the food regulations
with respect to -four practiced by mer-
chants in some localities, and which
has resulted in closing orders in a
number of instances. 1t will also OPP
crate to prevent merchants from buy
iEg to the limit" from more than one
wholesaler, because the weekly re-
port would disclose this fact to the
county administrator.
j. W. Hollowell, one of Herbert
Hoover's principal assistants, is at
tending the convention which will con-
tinue through today, and delivered two
addresses at Tuesdays session. In
these talks he expressed appreciation
of Hoover to the people of Georgia
for their efforts to aid the govern
nent's food production and conserva-
ton plans, and he also awrmly prais-
ed DR.. Soule and D. F. McC1atchey, ex-
ecutive secretary of the state food ad-
ministration for the splendidly efficient
work they have accomplished.

HUN OFFENSIVE
NOW AT AN END
EXCEPTIONALLY
HTNDENBURG MAY PERSIST In EF-
FORT TO TAKE AMIENS, BUT AS
A RULE HIS ARMY IS WAITING
DEVELOPMENTS.

NEW YORK, April 3.-The west
front has begun to return to the con-
dition of local raids and patrol en-
counters that marks the usual routine
CT trench warfare.
Only toward Amiens is there any
real ACTIVITY left in Won Hindenburg's
forces. Even here, there is percepti-
BILE decrease of the German effort
which suggests General Foch's meas
ures of defense are becoming effective.
The increased artillery activity east
of Arras suggests the possibility of n
new German advance from that di-
rection, but it is far more likely than
Won Hindenburg is now waiting for
General Foch's next move.
1t would be bad strategy for Won
Hindenburg to engage in major Of
fensive to take Arras, where the Brit
ish strength is at its maximum while
General Foch is preparing his counter
measures in new sector. Won Hin
denburg's cue is to wait on the de-
fensive while General Foch's plans re-
main unrevealed.
The transfer Of American troops
from the Alsace-Lorraine front to
western France, is an added reason
why Won Hindenburg will probably
cause his army to dig itself in, and
await developments. The American
reinforcements added to the new
French and British reserves should
give General Foch a decided numeri-
cal superiority over the Germans.
With this increased force at his COM
raand any serious error in tactics by
the Germans can be advantageously
seized by Foch and perhaps, extended
into a German defeat. Rather than
risk, such an outlook, Won Hindenburg
may well prefer to sit in the dark.
1t appears, therefore, that for the
present, a defensive policy will be-
come operative along the German
front, except, perhaps. east of Amiens.
The temptation to risk a few more di-
visions to capture this important cen
ter of communications may cause Won
Hindenburg to continue the slaughter
CT his army there for while longer.
But elsewhere, the German infantry
will probably be limited to raiding and
patrol work for the time being.

W. Tiedeman. local food administrator

tors, and it is anticipated he brought
