WATER WASTE
is DANGEROUS

THE people of Tacoma are
using twice as much water as any
city in the U. S." said w. A.
Kunigk of the city water depart
ment Friday.
Waste is the reason for the big
amount used, he said. People
turn the hoce on to water a gar
den or lawn and leave 1t on day
and night. A liberal amount of
water is $50 gallons per capita.
Tacoma DIS exceeding 500 gallons,
frequently running close to 500.
Should there be a faire on the
high points around the city there
would be grave lack OF water, I"
he said. A big fire certainly could
not be put out. Inspectors are
out day and might but 1t is diff
cult to detect the guilty ones be-
cause Of the territory covered by
the city.

Order your fuel wood by
the cord, not by the load.
Look at your bill before
your order is unlOaded.
II the bill calls for
''lOad," order the delivery
man to turn his truck around
and take the load back to the
company where it came from.
A load" means nothing. A
cord means a certain definite
amount of wood.
This was the warning sent out
to Tacomans Wednesday thru The
Times by E. e. Sanderson, city in
spector of weights and measures,
as the result of numerous COM
plants that fuel companies have
been putting it over" on their
patrons, delivering short orders.
Many Complaints.
The complaints have been pill
ing up in the last few days, and
prosecution may follow soon in
the case of Tacoma fuel COM
panies which are said to be the
chief offenders.
Most of the complaints have
come from persons who have or
dered a cord of wood, only to find
that 1t has fallen far short of the
required amount when stacked
and measured. Looking on their
bills, the customers have found
the word load" written opposite
the price agreed on for cord.
How 1t Works.
Gus Lyberg, sos e. Gath st.,
declared he ordered two cords of
slab wood at $3.50 a cord from
the Bismark Fuel Co.
When he stacked and measur-
ed it, he complained he found
each cord was one rick short.
Looking at his bill he discov-
cred he had paid $3.50 for a
load" he said. His wife had been
at home at the time the wood was
delivered, and had accepted 1t.
Apparently there was no rem
edy. The state weights and
measures law says:
State Law.
at shall be unlawful for any
vendor of firewood in the state Of
Washington, or his servant, agent
or other employees to sell or offer
for sale the same in the state in
any quantity or by any measure
except by the cord or fractional
part thereof.
1.-THE standard measurement Of
q cord of firewood in this state
: Is hereby fixed at 1913 cubic feet.
It is hereby expressly provided
that mill wood in "a inch lengths
or shorter shall not be subject to
the provisions of this act"
Sanderson declares that pre-
viously when he has hauled up
fuel dealers for offenses of the
kind now complained of, they al
ways have been given a clean bill

WHAT FOUR
YEARS DID
TO JUNKERS
J.W. T. Mason.
BY United Press Leased Wire.

Four years ago today friday
Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir
to the Austro-Hungarian throne,
was assassinated by Serbian ia
natics.
In revenge for this crime, Aus
tria-Hungary tried to make a
vassal state of Serbia and thus
gave to the German militarists
their opportunity to bring about
the world conflict which they had
long been planning.
Now on the fourth ami.
versary Of the Archduke
Franz Ferdinand's murder,
the German militarists are
gathering in anxious cOnclave
because the German govern.
ment has been compelled to
declare to the reichstag that
peace cannot be won on the
battlefield.
The German military organi-
cation which was ready for in
slant brigandage on the assassin
alton of Frank Ferdinand is no
longer able to keep up its bold
front Of assured victory.
Won Kuehlmann, the third for
eign minister whom Germany
has called to subservient office
under the militarists during these
hast four years, has declined to
conceal any longer from the Ger
man people the fatal defect OF
the machine which has been so
relentless in its futile sacrifice of
German man power.
The four years from Franz
Ferdinand to Won Kuehlmann
mark the shattering of the Ho-
henzollern ambition to rule the
world by force Of arms.
There probably will be further
painful efforts by Won linden
burg to rehabilitate the reputa-
ton Of the German army. They
will be in vain.
Won Kuehlmann's words are
ringing turnout Germany not to
be forgotten.
They soon will be ringing in
the ears of the soldiers, who will
then know that in every future
German offensive they are dying
in vain for victory.
-Four years after Ferdi-
nand's death disquiet has
gripped Germany.
Decentralization is the next
condition the kaiser must
face unless he publicly aban-
dons the worship Of militar-
ism,

NluIteu h'reAA LcHscu NIre.l
COPENHAGEN, June 2S.-Im-
perial Chancellor Hertling has
been called to German headquar-
tiers for an important conference,
1t was learned here today.
This news followed word from
Berlin that Foreign Minister Won
Kuehlmann probably would not
resign Immediately and would at
least remain until the Rumanian
peace and eastern questions had
been further cleared up.
Following Won Kuehlmann's
speech to the reichstag in which
he said peace would not come thru
military effort, the kaiser was re-
ported to be furious at him.
Summoning of Hertling to
headquarters after word of Won
Kuehlmann's intention to remain
In office had been circulated may
indicate the kaiser intends to take
a further hand in the matter.
