attained by an entirely independent
supply line. This Is evident to all
army officials when they consider
possible disasters arising from war or
Internal disturbances. II the entire
water supply of the District should
be brought in from the same sour ce
and the aqueducts all run through
the same area the danger of acci-
dents would jeopardize this supply,
while an Independent source from an
entirely opposite side Of the District
would afford valuable security to the

Colonel Kutz thinks this one ad-
vantage Is sufficient to justify ac-
ceptance Of the Patuxent project by
Congress.

Commission Named to De,
wise Means 4: on Increas-
ing Coal Production.

Berlin. Thursday, Aug. 7.-(By the
Associated. Press)-A comnissi Of
employers and workers appointed at
a conference Of coal experts from all
parts of Germany to devise means Of
increasing the production of coal held
Its first session today.
The only result of yesterdays con-
ference seemed to be the pointing out
that the situation is desperate.
Germany has succeeded in inducing
France to- admit that her demand for
forty million tons. of coal annually
was physical impossibility but it ap-
pears that Germany cannot even hope
to have enough coal to meet the coun-
try's most urgent needs.
The people have been warned to
prepare for the coming winter and
laymen are rapidly being converted to
the opinion that the government
should sacrifice some of the national
forests, arguing that it would be bet-
ter to encroach' on part of Germany's
potential capital than to allow freez-
ing and starvation.
Ihe imperial coal commissioner re-
ports that the production of coal in
the Ruhr region has not been i'm
proved and Is not sufficient for cur
rent needs. The president Of the cham
per OF commerce declares that only a
rev industries are now being supplied
with coal and that the remainder are
attempting to use wood as fuel, Work.
mgmen are laboring shorter hours and
the working capacity of the countrv,s
