NAVAL DECORATIONS REVISED
MAY END CONTROVERSY Y

WASHINGTON. N.-(By A. P.)-Sec-
retary Daniels today expressed hope
that he will be able to accept, without
amendment, the revised report of the
naval decorations to be made by the
Knight board after resurvey. He
disclosed that he had received letters
from Admiral Wilson, commander of
the Atlantic fleet, formerly command
er at Brest, France, and Rear Admil-
al Mayo, commander of the Atlantic
fleet during the war, supporting the
position of Admiral Sims and other
officers, recommending review in
particular cases.
The subject of naval decorations
will be investigated by joint con-
gressional committee when congress
reconvenes, Representative Lufkin
said today after comforting with mem
bers Of the senate naval committee.
He said that Secretary Daniels, Ad-
miral Sims, Knight and others would
be summoned as witnesses.

to bring freedom to the black man
and save the union, SO General Perish
ing was the instrumentaIity of God to
bear the ideals of American democ-
racy unto the nations of Europe, and
to rescue the peace of the world from
the menace of militarism. When
duty called him, it found him ready.
Others might have done as we'll, but
none could have done it better.
The American people have never
been ungrateful to their heroes of
war, and with General Pershing there
should be no exception. He is the
best fitted man in America today for
the reconstruction period of the next
four years. He knows the five mil
lions of our soldier boys, and what
they endured. He knows the agony
of the American home whence loved
ones have fallen. He knows the
ideals of Americanism for which those
boys and those homes stand; he
knows the problems of Europe, the
ambitions and perplexities of the
Orient and the tangled conditions of
Mexico better than any other man
in America today. His information is
first-hand. His life work has fitted
and equipped him particularly for this
particular hour in the nations history.

his name, and another advantage to
the Philippines; just as Wilson draft

lean people draft him today for he is

CITY WATER PROBLEM
BELIEVED SOLVED
TUNNELL CONNECTING WELLS
FURNISHES ENOUGH FOR
CITY is THOUGHT

/ That Moscow will not be troubled
with water shortage in the future az
| it has been in the past, is the belief
of city officials who have been work.
| ing to solve the vexed water problem
that has been a serious one here
for years. When the plans now outlin-
ed will have been completed it is be-
lieved that there will not only be
abundance of water to supply the
needs of the citizens in the dryest sea-
son, but that there will be sufficient
pressure to give the highest points of
the city a flow during the hot season.
The city has had two wells, one of
which is a dug well to a depth of
many feet and in the bottom three
six-inch holes were drilled to depth
of 180 feet. The other is 12-inch
drilled well, 400 feet deep. The two
have been connected by tunnel, six
feet high and three feet wide at
depth of about so feet below the sur
face. This connection was but recent
ly made and the effects are now being
shown. The work of putting the tun-
mel through was done by A. F. Carson,
an experienced miner, of this city.
Prier to this connection being made
the big pump (there are two pumps at
the pumping station, varying much in
size and capacity would pump the
one well dry in 10 minutes and then
would have to wait for it to fill up.
After the connection was made and
the water from both wells were mingl-
ed in the dug well the big pump was
started and after working hours had
lowered the water but few feet.
John Hill, water superintendent,
h n haf roI,
to supply all of the needs of the city
and that pressure can be maintained.
During the winter season, when the
amount of water used is much lower
than in the summer time, a small pump
can supply the city and thus save
much expense as the smaller pump
can be operated at much lower cost
than the big one.
1t is planned to erect another stand
pipe or tank on the highest point in
the eastern part of town. This may
be erected on a stand, like the one
at the University of Idaho, and will
be high enough above the tallest res
ldence in the highest part of town, to
give good pressure. The tank will
probably contain many hundred thou
sand gallons of water and will be kept
full for all emergencies and should a
fire occur or other special demand up
On the water supply be made, both
pumps can be operated if necessary,
to keep the tank and stand pipe and
he mains filled with water at all
lines.
Mayor ]. G. Gibson, who inspected
he work this morning is delighted
with the prospect. He haG planned to
90 down the well and walk through
he tunnel, but when he reached there
his morning the tunnel and both wells
we're filled with water many feet above
,he top of the tunnel although the
pump had been running for hours. He
links that a new stand pipe or tank
IN the highest hill, will solve the
water supply and pressure problems
or many years to come. -
