more than 1000 years from the time
when Herod established a water sys-

had been done, till the beginning Of
the present century, to enlarge or ever

had long ago fallen into disuse. The
city depended largely on private cis-
terms of rain water, and it was consid-

partially restored the work of Herod
But this restoration, as the British
found, provided only a small aque-

ASSASSINATION OF FRANCIS
German Kaiser Implicated With Mur-
der of Austrian Archduke.

German NaiSef tmPiicdtoo WIN "e'
der of Austrian Arehduke.
George Creel, former chairman OF
the committee on public information.
made public in New York last Thurs
day, a summary Of the secret corre-
spondence of Count Czernin. late for
eign minister Of Austria Hungary,
which was turned over to Edgar Sis
son, at Prague by the custodian off,
cials of the Bohemian government on
January "a, last One Of the most sem
sational Of the disclosures was that
there was German Magyar conepira-
cy against the Archduke Francis Fer
dinand, heir apparent to the throne OF
Austria, who was assassinated at Sa-
rajevo on June "a. 1914. because ne
was considered rival Of the then EN-
peror William.
Mr.. Creel said Mr.. sisson accepted
the privilege Of using the correspond
ence in behalf Of the United States
government. Translators and q pho-
tographer in the service Of the cori-
mittee on public information were SET
at work to translate the documents
for general publication In this country.
as the final contribution Of the COM
mittee, according to Mr.. Creel. he oe-
clared one copy was to be turned over
to Secretary Of State Lansing for use
Of the peace conference commission
investigating responsibilities for the
outbreak of the war, while another
was to be sent to the committee at
Washington for release to the press.
He added that Mr.. Lansings copy un-
doubtedly in his hands and that the
copy for the press probably was on Its
way to this country.
In a report to Mr.. Sisson on the
scope of the letters, Capt. Emmanuel
Vosko, U. 8. A., head Of the Prague
bureau Of the committee on public in
formation, said:
From the documents and letters 1t
will be shown that Francis Ferdinand
was working on building up a strong
Austria which would eventually sman-
cipate itself from the influence OF
Berlin. This was blocking Berlin's
plans for expansion toward the east,
and the Berlin government came to an
understanding with the Budapest gov
ernment to Offset the plans Of Frnacis
Ferdinand.
From one Of the letters it is evident
that the German emperors son, Eitsl
Frederick, was selected to study the
Magyar language and to mako friends
of the Magyar nobility. :
although no positive proof was
found from the documents on hand as
to the conspiracy to kill Archduke
Francis, it is sufficiently evident that
there was no conspiracy in Serbia for
that purpose. The archdr'se was rath-'
er friend of Serbia in hatred Of the
Magyars, as he knew Of the conspira-
cy between the Berlin and Budapest
governments.

many things that will sooner or later

many things that will sooner or later
arouse the intense indignation Of the
whole American people. Every well
informed man knows that a storm is
brewing, and that it will break when
the calcium is turned in full force
upon all the proceeding of the jump
ed-up bureaus and boards that were
hurriedly organized at Washington to
help win the war;" The republicans
are waiting the opportunity and more
than half Of the Democratic senators
will energetically assist to throw on
the light. The senate took orders
during the war but It ehafed under the
, collar. Now it is emaneipated.
The policy of this government Of
ours directed by Mr.. Baruch and his
associates has cost the cotton pro-
ducers of Taxes more than $200,000,-
900 within the last twelve months. II
it shall be persisted in the result will
be to make the cotton growers Of this
country mere hewers Of wood and
drawers of water for the manufac-
turing districts of the east and of
Europe forever and forever.
AS I said to the Texas legislature, I
am for war upon that policy, and be-
lieve that it should be fight to q fin
ish, no matter what complications, po-
litical or otherwise, may result. l
have discovered that the manufactu-
rers propose to continue to beat down
the price of cotton to the lowest pos
sble point. Henceforward I refuse to
support their game merely for the
sake Of being permitted to play In
their back yard. If that be treason,
make the most Of it.
Since the above was written, the
following cable dispatch has been re-
ceived from Paris. referring to the
proceeding of the peace council.
Announcement is made that the
economic drafting committee has COM
pleted it's work upon which the peace
treaty will rest in so far as the word
economic relations are concerned. Bar
nard Baruch is the American member
of this committee, and he Is to be ap-
pointed O member of this committee
and he is to be appointed member of
the final committee which will define
the principles of an economic settle
ment which will go to the supreme
economic council
In other words Barnard Baruch,
king of Wall street operators, whose
absolute voice, speaking In the name
Of the government, drove down the
price of cotton from 3S to 80 cents
within a few days, and whose policy
would make the southern states de-
pended provinces, is now writing the
terms Of IAN economic settlement"
which is expected to establish for all
the years to come the basis for the
commercial relations between this and
foreign countries, and to provide re-
gulations for the disposition of all e4-
port cotton. Mr. Baruch who believed
tha; % cents per pound was sufficient
for the producer of cotton and that
the manufacturer should have the price
for his products which fairly called for
65 cents for raw cotton, Is now max
ing terms with Europe for the mar
keting of all the cotton we should be
permitted to sell abroad.
What have the cotton producers of
the south who had a splendid oppor-
tunity to get well acquainted with Mr..
Baruch, to say that?"

SCHOOL EXPLOITATION
A California Organization Launches
Counter Against Preachers and Doc
fnre


Counter Against Preachers and Doc
tors.
The public school protective league,
a statewide organization designed to
protect the public schools from med
ical and ecclesiastical exploitation"
which has recently been active in
southern California, launched its
work in the northern part of the state
recently at public meeting in this
city says a San Francisco dispatch to
the Christian Science Monitor.
The meeting was addressed by the
president of the league, DIR. L. P.
Crutcher, a practicing physician and
president of the board of education of
the city of Long Beach, California, and
by the organizations secretary, Doug
las L. Edmunds. an attorney Of Los
Angeles.
Dr. Crutcher asserted that the po-
litical doctors have about given up
hope Of being able to force themselves
into the home, directly, for the pur-
pose of practicing compulsory medi-
cine, and that they are now devoting
all their attention to attempts to
fasten these compulsory activities
upon the public schools.
"The political doctors have the idea,
he declared, +and are industriously
spreading it broadcast, that as SC on as
the child enters the school he is out
side the jurisdiction of the parents and
the home, and that the place of the par.
ent and the home, in many impor-
tant and fundamental respects, must
be taken by the doctors. 1t is this
idea that the league is vigorously op-
posing"
In telling of the procedure and act
ual work of the league to protect the
schools from medical influence and
activities, Mr.. Edmunds explained that
the organization had secured many eX-
cellent results by taking legal action
or by giving notice that such action
would be taken, when anything un-
lawful had been done, by acquainting
the parents with the true situation
and by showing them what their rights
are in regard to their children and the
schools,

NEW STANDARD PERMANENT
Development Of Labor Says Prs-War
Conditions Will Not Return.

Development of Labor Says Prs-War
Conditions Will Not Return.
As result of investigations By
economists for the Federal department
of labors, according to q Washington
dispatch, The conclusion has been
reached that the popular expectation
of decided reduction in prices is not
justified. The warning Is therefore L.
sued that the re-establishmsnt Of pre-
war prices is not to be looked for.
The department of labor and de-
partment Of commerce, working inde-
, ,pendently, have reached the conclu-
sion that the country is on new price
level, and that the delay in establish
ing new business or enlarging old. or
in undertaking construction work Of
any kind because the return Of pre-
war prices is hoped for, can only lead
to disappointment. The new indus
trial board Is finding the same condi-
ton.
Through all the economic studies
recently issued by the information and
education service Of the department Of
labor, there has been such evidence as
clearly indicated the Importance Of
any policy contemplating radical
changes in existing wage scales" the
labor department asserts. I'm the re-
cent conference of governors and may
ors in Washington, it was clearly the
consensus Of opinion that readjust-
ment should not and could not mean
an immediate pressing down Of wages.
This because wages have not gone up
in the same proportion as living costs
and, further, because 1t Is generally
believed prudent to do everything pos
sible to maintain the higher living
standards which have been evolved
during the war.
Notwithstanding these develop
ments, there are many in industry who
have been urging wage reductions.
There has been enough Of this agita-
ton to create an uneasiness In the
ranks Of labor, and uncertainty as to
the future labor conditions In the
minds Of prospective builders and con-
tractors. For this reason. the prece-
dent established by the Industrial
board Of the department Of commerce
in the steel case should have q very
beneficial effect. On the wage matter,
in the statement announcing the new
prices on Steel the board says:
"'It is fully understood and expect
ed that the present wage rates or ar
rangements will not be interfered with.
the approved prices having this In
view.'
"All economists and practical busi-
ness men agree currency conditions
are an important feature in present
prices. This cannot be admitted with
out admitting also that present cur
rency conditions are an important fac
tor in present wages. Money Is Just as
cheap when it buys labor as when 1t
buys steel, and those who talk Of pre-.
war wage scales under present curren-
fc1 editi1pa tsRezss rsly ses -
that we do not have pre-war dollafs'
and we will not have them for many
years to come.
"The department Of labor holds that
wage scales have less to do with con-
struction and manufacturing costs
than efficiency Of labor. Investiga.
tions in this field suggest a gradual Inn
provement in efficiency Of labor as the
re adjustment progresses and industry
gets away from the high speed, forced
production regime incident to the
war"
