Sometime after midnight, the lead
blew out of the new main at the City
pumping station, letting all Of the
water out of the reservoir and mains.

did rushing business about break

The break was repaired and the
pumps started shortly before noon.

once, between the old pumps and the
new ones, SO that in case Of a repe-
tition Of this mornings trouble, the
city will not: be without water. When
the new valve is in, it will be possible
to use either the new pumps or the
old, independently.

j. S. PRE-WAR DEBT
CHANGED TO CREDIT

Americas pre-war debit in Europe
Of six billion dollars has been con-
verted into a postwar credit OF eight
billion dollars. according to a state
ment- made by Lewis b. Franklin. di-
rector OF the War Loan Organization
'of the United States Treasury.
The money We owed Europe at the
outbreak Of the war had gone into our
transcontinental railroads, the up
building Of our cities and public
works" he said. Securities for our
loan were held in England, France,
Holland. and Germany.
since that time We have bought
back four billion dollars worth Of
these securities and loaned privately
TO Europe two billion more, equaliz-
ing accounts. In addition we have
loaned the allied nations eight bill
lion dollars.
We cannot look to Europe again
for capital to develop the natural re-
sources OF the United States. Europe
is looking to us as the creditor ma
ton. and employers are looking to the
people OF the United States for the
money to make further development
possible.
That is the aim the Government
has in mind when il wants to per-
petuatr the savings idea that origin
ated during the war period. Now
that we can no longer look to Europe
to send us money for the development
OF our natural resources the United
states Government is ready TO go into
campaign to foster and encourage
the ideas OF careful spending and the
elimination OF waste"
Mr. Franklin asserted that the Gov
ernment's thrift campaign TO incul-
cate the habit of savings in connec-
ton with the sale OF thrift and war

TAETzEXPLAINSI LEAGUE
States Basic Purpose in First of
Series of Six Short
- Articles.
BY Ex-PREsIpENTa.wM.z n. TAFT.

by EN-FhESlRENIsz q WMsZ fs Ar .
The chief purpose Of the League Of
Nations is to keep the world in a state
Of peace. Another way Of expressing
it is to say that the League is de-
signed to prevent wars.
We have just finished the greatest,
which is to say the most horrible, Of
all Conflicts between nations. We
have.wen a glorious victory. But that
victory will be wasted unless this war
has made the nations ready to put
aside their differences and cooperate
to end war forever.
1t is not enough, however, to provide
for the prevention of wars and the
settlement of disputes after they have
arisen. We must foresee causes Of
trouble and remove them before they
have reached an acute stage. Hence.
there must BE- provision for frequent
consultations, of members of the
League. for exchange Of information,
for agreement on common policies and
for the gradual formation of rules of
International law which at present are
uncertain and incomplete.
The representative of the great free
nations which won the war have met
at Paris and, after long consultation,
have drawn an agreement which they
believe will accomplish these ends. At
the very least it will set in motion
great changes which will result in uni
versal benefit to all mankind. This
agreement is called the Covenant of
the League of Nations and it is a part
of the peace treaty.
There will be no League worth talk,
ing about, however, unless the United
States is member. The decision as
to whether the United States shall Join
rests with our Senate. The Senators,
chosen by the people, will in the end
vote as the people desire. For. this
reason the people themselves will de
eide whether or not the United. States
will join the League. In this question
every citizen should have a voice. He
or she can express opinion either by
writing direct to Senators, by letters
to the newspapers, by speeches in his
lodge or local union or in conversation
with friends.

VOTES TO AMEND
SHANTUNC AWARD.
Senate Committee Gives Terri.
tory to China.
LODGE OFFERS AMENDMENT
Democrats Certain They Can Defeat
the Change on Floor OF Senate.
Senators Ask For Data.

Washington. Aug 25-After voting
to amend the peace treaty by striking
out Japan's title TO the German rights
in Shantung, the senate foreign rela-
tious committee notified President
Wilson that il could not intelligently
proceed with its work on amendments
until he furnished additional informa-
ton.
The action on the Shantung provi-
sion was taken in short order, Chair
man Lodge proposing the amendment
and the committee adopting it ylrtu-
ally without debate The vote was
nine to eight, with all the Democratic
members and Senator McCumber, Re
publican, North Dakota, voting in the
negative. Then the point OF made
quate information was raised by Re
publican members, Chairman Lodge
declaring there were in the presidents
hands important documents which
were absolutely essential to the deter
mination of questions involved in the
committees work. During. its entire
consideration of the treaty, the chair
man said, the committee had been
hampered by lack of information that
should have been given it weeks ago.
Democratic members are understood
to have expressed general opposition
to any interruption of the commit
tees plan for prompt action, but
finally, on motion of Senator Viii.
liams, Democrat, Mississippi, and
without a record vote, the chairman
was instructed to ask the president
for the treaty with Poland, signed on
June %; two agreements regarding
the Rhine section to which the United
States was a party, and such infOrma-
ton as may be available about the
treaties now under negotiation with
Austria, Hungary, Bulgaria and Tur-
key.
In amending the Shantung provision
the committee took the most direct
method. Chairman Lodge simply NOV
ed to strike out the word Japan"
wherever it occurred in the section
relating to the German Shantung
rights, and to insert the word "Chi-
ma The effect would be to restore to
China all the German holdings in
Kiao-Chow and vicinity.
With the committees action the
fight over the Shantung settlement is
transferred to the senate floor. Re
publican leaders say they have the
votes to uphold the committee amend
ment, but administration senators ap-
pear equally certain that it will be
beaten. IS

bees in the golden squash blossoms
blended with his voice in a golden
blur of drowsy sound.
''It was fun, too, to see her put
the magic eyes in their hills, and
very interesting, too, to notice that
the eyes of the Lima beans and
squashes were turned downward.
I've thought lot about that. Eyes
that can see in the dark, looking
down into the secret-heart of the
earth, they are!
"Then one day. the Golden Girl
brought out a tiny garden in a box.
Tomato-plant battalions they were,
in a wide, shallow wooden box. She
set them out very carefully with a
ball of dirt sticking around the roots
Of each plant. In the moist ground
she had opened a hole with her
trowel, a hole. larger than the ball
of loose earth around her roots, She
very tenderly set the roots. in the
hole and firmed the, soil carefully
around the plant. She poured in a
little water into each hole and raked
a little loose, dry earth around to
keep in the moisture. They did well
those tomato plants! Look at 'em
now!
81 beg your pardon, ma'am, for
talking so much about what you al
ready know" said the Scarecrow,
seeming to come to himself, "but
I'm crazy about all this; I've said it
over to myself till I know it by
heart. Besides, it's not often I get
a chance to talk to a person. And I
assure you, though I've said a lot,
you haven't lost even an instant"
after their work was done, in
the afternoons when the Soldier Boy
got leave from the camp, they used
to sit on the bench under the Apple
