War Department In Control.
Under the peculiar relations between
the Federal and District governments
the bringing Of water into the District
is wholly in control Of the War Depart
ment, through the chief OF engineers.
After the water is delivered into the
District by the War Department It is
distributed by the municipal government.
Official figures OF the District
Water Department show that last
Monday II ,00o. 900 gallons of water
were used in the District. The safe
maximum supply Of water into the
city through the mains in control OF
the War Department is $4,000, 900 per
day. This is being exceeded in con-
sumption nearly ever day. Engineers
have stated that 5000, 900 per day is
the maximum limit OF the pump and
mains without danger OF serious mis-
hap. That limit Is being rapidly ap-
preached and will be exceeded before
another summer.
The War Department Is said to be
planning the establishment OF a huge
army camp near the American Uni
versity. to which will be delivered
millions of District water daily. The
new dormitories shortly to be erected
for Government clerks and the new
office buildings 10 be erected will all
consume immense quantities OF
water. -@

Jim HARDY, MINER,

CAMP MEADE. Nd, July 25.-The
men they left behind when many
units left this camp several weeks
ago are teaching a lesson in patriot
rTsm to the men WIG did not want to

Nothing has stirred the men of the
development battalions more than the
story OF old Jim Hardy. OF the Tween
ty-seventh engineers, which now can
be told without any conflict with the
regulations with regard to move
ments OF troops
Jim Hardy and his boy were popu-
lar miners in Arizona and many other
states. when the Lusitania went
down young Hardy quit the mines
and hurried to Canada TO enlist.
Later the father enlisted in the Tween
ty-seventh engineers, a mining unit.
in spite OF his nifty years In May
Brady got word that his son had died
like a hero in one of the engagements
in which Canadians did themselves
credit
Then the father counted the days
for the Twenty-seventh to 60 away
The day did come. but a medical board
insisted on giving the once-over to
the old men OF this regiment They
turned Hardy down. He begged and
pleaded. but they said he could not
stand the strain overseas.
He is still hoping that doctors will
change the verdict In the develop
ment battalion men 90 develop, and
he is trying hard.

General Black, who was once En-

and who knows District conditions
well, pointed out that nearly all
bills before Congress in the past had
linked water and power problems for
the District together instead Of max
ing separate provision for each.
General Blacks office has several
times called the attention Of Congress
officially to the fact that there Is a big
waste OF District water in several Gov
eminent institutions, notably in the

million gallons a day are wasted for
cooling purposes. This could have been
