luton Of the Potomac through The

be brought to a standstill.
The city's sewage has for ten
years been treated at a big central
disposal pumping station on the Ana
costa river near the Navy Yard.
Despite dilution through treatment
the volume of organic matter flow
ing into the river grows larger with
the increasing population, bringing
about a scarcity of oxygen in the
waters Of the Potomac that is killing
fish life and threatening health con-
ditions.
Nearly four years ago the public
health service sent experts all over
the Potomac, from above Washington
to the first oyster beds, sixty miles
below, to make searching eXamina-
tion OF the effects OF pollution.
Nature Favors City.
The experts reached the conclusion
that while favorable natural condi-
tions attended the present disposal
of city sewage b dilution it was
inevitable that the capacity of the
river to dispose of sewage without
nuisance or, danger would soon be
Ovettaxed.
The experts declared that at no
point above Washington is the water
OF the Potomac safe for use as a
water supply without treatment; that
in both channels OF the Potomac,
from Chain Bridge to the Anacostia
river, the waters are heavily polluted
and unsafe even for bathing pur-

Superintendent


Superintendent
The most active traitor to our
cause today is the liquor traffic. We
do not have to risk our lives at the
cannon's mouth, to endure the misery
of the trenches or face the deadly
submarines in order to win this war.
If each of us do our part to crush the
traitor, alcohol, we will do "our bit"
in Fastening the day of victory and
stay this frightful carnage and blood
shed as will our brave boys over
there.
The last clause in "The Message to
the President and to the Congress of
the United States of America" reads:
Therefore in the interest of those
who defend our nation, for the saving
of our own supplies of food, for the
highest efficiency of the industries
which provide our means of warfare
and for the strengthening of the
moral health of our people we earn
estly urge the president and the Con-
gress of the United State sto take
steps to prevent, during the entire
period of the war, by whatever means
are feasible, the manufacture and
sale of all kinds of liquor for use as
a beverage including the importation
of all liquor"
The message, however, doesn't meet
with the heartiest cooperation, it
seems. whats everybody's busi-
ness is nobody's business" Now it is
\ the right of every true law-abiding
citizen of the United States to de-
mand prohibition. Stand up for your
rights and show your manhood and
womanhoodl
One of our leading papers pleads as
follows: "Let everyone write the
president at once, asking for prohibi-
tion and who can doubt that as soon
as it is secured God will turn the tide
of battle in favor of the Allies and
speedily give us victoryl"
Are you Stacker? Sure, you are,
if you fear to wear the white ribbon
and oppose every agency of the liquor
traffic with all your might, and fight
with all your strength for "God and
home and native land"
You may kill the kaiser today and
satisfy yourself that you have done
yodr bit but still a greater enemy
reigns right in our midst-this King
Alcohol who is bound to win if we do
not rise up in all our force at once
before our brave men are exhausted
and we are powerless. awake Zion. .

A CHANCE TO HELP

(By Request of the War Department.
The American Protective League
has undertaken vitality important
work, in which you-readers of Nc
Clure's and members of the My Am
erica" League-are asked to help.
The American Protective League is
vost secret organization, working in
closest cooperation with the gov
ernment, and having members-it is
not permitted to state exactly how
many, but the number is very large
scattered throughout every part of
the country 1t is certain, though, that
many of you who viii read this article
are members of this society. If you
yourself are not one, perhaps your
next door neighbor is. or the man
across the way. We cannot give you
the names and addresses of these de-
voted patriots, but we are proud to be
able to offer you the opportunity Of
serving with them in this especial
cause.
The war department has issued a
request that collection be made for
it, for intelligence purposes, of all
available photographs, drawings, pic
ture postals, and other descriptive
matter, showing bridges, buildings,
towns and localities now occupied by
German forces in France, Belgium
and Luxembourg and likewise in that
part of Germany lying west of line
running north and south through
Hamburg.
Think for a minute of an aviator
flying over the enemy lines, entirely
unfamiliar with the country, needing
some decisive landmark which will
place the exact positions and locali-
ties in his memory for future use, and
for his observation report upin his re-
turn to his own lines.
These photographs, which the Am
erican Protective League has under
taken TO procure for the government
can be pieced together hilltop and
valley, town, river and outstanding
church spire, into complete map OF
the country for our aviators' guild
ance. They may be used in the avia-
ton training schools TO teach the men
the lay of the land over which they
are soon to reconnoiter as the 3eyes
of the army"
/ It is your privilege to assist IN this
work of safeguarding our boys at the
front. The American Protective
League being a secret organization
the members cannot come forward
openly and ask for what they need
for then, part of their usefulness to
the government would be gone, but
you and T, who are just ordinary citi-
zens, can ask for these photographs
