HARDING DECLARES
FOR SOCIAL PEACE
At HOME, IN SPEECH

MARION, o., Aug. 4,--Decrying APP
peals TO class as a menace equal only
to surrender of nationality TO inter
nationality. Senator Harding, in his
second front porch campaign speech
today, declared that if he could choose
but one, he would rather have indus
trial and social peace at home, than
command the international peace o.
all the world"
He asserted it would be unwise foT
this country to permit "our activities
in seeking for peace in the whole
world to blind us to the advantages OF
peace at home," and added that 'if
America can be made to forget the at
tempted barter of nationality, well
and good,'' but that when nationality
is surrendered to internationally lit
tie else matters and all appeal is vain"
To Wayne County Delegation
The address was delivered to dele
cation of Wayne county. Ohio, Repub-
licans.
Taking up the League OF Nations,
Senator Harding declared it to be the
other extreme to referendum and a
proposed declaration Of war
Il emphatieally agree, he said. that
no other authority than Congress may
call our boys to battle. Aceepting
this ruth, why make covenant which
violates the good faith of nations?'
Suppose he continued, that un-
der Article 10, a program OF armed
force is agreed upon and the Congress
of the United States declines to en-
force the call, we would be called
upon to carry on a war without Con-
gress authority, or we shall prove our
compact no more than a scrap of
paper We are ON the side OF safety
and honor to hold for ourselves the
decision of our obligations to the
world

SENSATIONAL SMASH IN
WHEAT SELLING TODAY

CHICAGO, ILL, Aug. 4.-Exciting
general selling brought about sem
sational smash in wheat prices today.
The market opened to 13 cents low
er, with December s2.16 to 1921 and
March s221 Most of the selling was
said to come from company holders
anxious to turn wheat into cash. In
a few minutes, the market rebounded
as much as II cents in some cases.
Assertion that domestic millers
were active buyers helped TO strength
en- the market later So did reports
of Canadian crop damage. Dispatches
telling Of increased gravity in the Eu-
ropean situation also contributed to-
wards reversal Of prices. The
early losses very virtually wiped out
and the market closed at about yes
terday's finish.

Conclusions

Our final conclusions are that to
increase your supply the best
means of doing this is to build an
impounding reservoir on the
streams now furnishing Annapolis
with water.
To obtain pure water free
from turbidity, Objectionable
amounts OF color and iron, and
with the danger Of contamination
hy bearing bacteria re-
duced to minimum, 1t will be
necessary to install a mechanical
filtration plant.
To provide such pumping faciii-
ties that an accident or break
down of the boilers and pumps
will not threaten you with an en-
tire absence of water in the city.
as might happen now with q seri-
Gus break in your one boiler, il
will be necessary to install a new
boiler and either one or two addi-
tional pumps.
Standpipe Is Recommended
In order to secure better pres
sure throughout the city, stand
pipe should be built adjacent to
your service reservoirs with the
water level. when full, sixty feet
above the water surface in your
present service reservoirs. These
service reservoirs can be kept fill
ed and used in an emergency as
they are, used at the present time
In order to stop useless waste,
the only adequate and permanent
means for accomplishing this is
the universal installation of
meters.
Your distribution system is en-
tirely inadequate in certain parts
of the city for effective fire protec-
ton. and in the near future steps
should be taken to replace num-
Der of your four-inch mains with
mains of larger size. The price Of
