COMP[A|NTS.O ON
WATER IN CITY
aused by Repairs Being Made
on Meadow Pipe Lines
i Says Wilson

The presence of a considerable
quantity of iron oxide or red mud in
the city water is attributed by Presi-
lent of the Water Board Harry r..
Wilson to repairs that are being made
on the meadow pipe lines. These lines
are being taken up and Strengthened
out he said, and the frequent turning
on and off of the water has caused
the sediment in the pipes to become
stirred up and held in suspension in
the water in the mains.
1t is expected that the water will
clear up by tonight, Mr.. Wilson said,
as the work on the meadows is about
finished. Many inquiries and com
plants have been received at the
office of the EVENING NEWS as to
why the water was so discolored. This
morning when the firemen were wet
ting down State street opposite the
NEWS office the water from the large
hose looked like some imitation near
beer.
Unless the repairs are being made
to a supply main the water will not
be stirred up again for some time,
Mr.. Wilson said. Local repairs affect
only the section in which made. Su-
perintendent Samuel j. Mason, of the
water department, could not be found
this morning.

tive of age or nationality take advan-
tage of this opportunity to learn or
improve their English. There will be
classes for the various language
groups and there will also be graded
classes for those who speak no Eng

the schools prove a success during
the vacation season when the board
has the free use of the public school
a private building or suite of rooms

tinue the work during the winter.
The classes to be formed will also in

procured to do the work.. The women
are familiar with the Characteristic
difficulties encountered among adults

By Associated Press.
BERLIN, July 1.-The Communis-

~fermenting stage in Greater Berlin
and there are indications that the
strike movement may develop to a po-
litical insurrection. The street car
strike threatens to involve the subur-

big industrial plants. The frankness
with which Hugo Haase, Herr Hoff-
man and other radicals are now de-
manding a dictatorship by the prole-
tariate is looked upon as significant.
Meanwhile. Gustav Noske, minister
of defense, is increasing his troop pa
trolls in the inner city, clamping
reels of barbed wire at strategic points

apparently satisfied, the present
,strike movement is purely political,
and is determined to treat it as such,
nevertheless is not Understanding its
