Property Owners
Overruled On
Assessments

Overruling the protests of prop
erty owners along Portage ay. to
what they termed the excessive
amounts OF their assessments.
the board of public works Wednes-
day night adopted the assessment
roll on the installation of water taps
along the street.
On one side OF the street. each
property owner is assessed $3.50
for each one-inch connection. while
on the other side the assessment
for each connection is S6O.3O. The
difference in cost is caused by the
difference from the city mains to
the property line. the distance be-
ing just double on the 5000 side
than on the side where S36.96 is as
sessed against the property owners.
All Of the property owners agreed
that the assessed cost on both sides
OF the streets was too high. Their
protests we've overruled by the board
in the adoption Of the assessment
roll.
Declaratory resolutions for lay
! ing sewers in DUbail av. and Douglas
st. from Bruce to Olive SITS. were
adopted. These sewers will connect
with the 1877 houses to be built by
the government on the oliver tract.

whole question OF universal military
training and many officials antici-
pate a long legislative struggle be-
fore final action is taken on what
ever policy Mr.. Baker may propose
$4,000 Before War.
Existing law authorizes the main
tenance OF a regular army OF ap-
proxima.eIy 375. zoe men. While it l.
not possible as yet 70 forecast the
number OF American troops that
must be employed in Europe. even
after the peace treaties have been
signed. military men believe now
that the authorized regular esta0-
lishment cannot provide an adequate
force for all purposes at home and
abroad.
OF the 100000 men now under
arms probably not more than 1907
600 are under obligations 10 serve
beyond the restoration OF peace
There were some 1000 officers and
about 10000 men in the regular
army when war was declared. En-
piration OF enlistments, however
probably has served TO reduce this
considerably and all war time enlist
ments are for the war period only.
Thousands OF officers now in serv-
ice are on temporary commissions
in the regular establishment. These
commissions were issued for "a def
aite period OF years. and the men
might be held. although the general
attitude OF the department would
not indicate any intention of hold

tions as to the way the army is 10

the principle of universal military

staff just before the United States

the operation of the selective draft
system.
Decentralization of the existing Of

Things going our way now. Was

beating the Kaiser to his knees land

biggest figure in the world, and if he

ALUM STREAK IN ROOSEVELT.

A HUN STREAK IN ROOSEVELT.
The Huns lured the Russians into
peace parleys by declaring that they
favored settlement based on mo in
IDENTITIES and no annexations."
The. Russians were willing to quit
the war on those terms and actually
did stop fighting. But as soon as the
Russian armies ceased to exist the
kaiser disregarded his mo indemnity,
no annexation" policy and proceeded to
partition that country and extort in
IDENTITIES and other advantages with
the rapacity Of highwayman. a~
After this country had entered the
war the President stated the objects
for which this nation was fighting.
They were listed under fourteen sepa-
rate heads, and met with the approval
of practically everyone. If they were
not satisfactory to Roosevelt his dis
satisfaction remained a profound Sc
cret until President Wilson's announc-
ed policies had undermined the
autocratic governments of Europe, I'M
til the common people of the countries
at war with us commenced to clamor
for peace on Wilson's terms. Then, and
not until then, did the Hun streak in
Roosevelt become visible. Last Thurs
day he denounced the Presidents
fourteen principles as thoroughly
mischievous."
