DRIFT BACK INTO our pre-war atcltude OF
unpreparedness, General Pershing to-
day told 1856 boys who make up the
citizens military training camp at Camp
Meade. Through you young gentle
men. and through the veterans of the
war, we hope to maintain a sentiment
for complete preparedness in the
United States. There will be no war
tomorrow, nor next month, nor next
year, but no man knows when it may
come again.
THE reserves, to which you belong,
were joke just before the war. But
to-day we are trying to bring together
the old units of the National Guard
that did such glorious fighting in the
war and to rehablitate them. We are
also trying to bring together abe re-
serve divisions. And the greater part
of the army of the future will be com
posed of young gentlemen, like your
selves, in the reserve, then the Ma
tional Guard and then the regular
army Of 10000 men,"

City VIII Acquire Plant
Of Water Co. i'm Queens
Board of Estimate Votes for
Condemnation Action After
20-Year Eiahf

The Board of Estimate voted yester-
day to acquire the water mains and
plant OF the Citizens' Water Supply
Company in the Second Ward, Queens
by condemnation proceedings. Resi-
dents of that section have conducted
a fight against the company for the
last twenty years on the ground that
it gave inadequate service at ex-
orbtant rates.
Three propositions were presented to
the board. One was to purchase the
property from the company, another
was to acquire it for the city by CON
demnation and a third was to build a
parallel system. The proposition to
buy the property was rejected when it
was learned the company placed the
value at S4,250,000. The proposition
to build new system was rejected be-
cause engineers reported it would take
two years.
Comptroller Charles L. Craig was the
only member who voted in favor OF
building a new system. Maurice Il.
Connolly, Borough President of Queens.
presented resolution favoring CON
demnaton, which was adopted.

ments. considerable mileage of

used for repair material
Fuel Conditions Serious
"The fuel situation is very serious.
Cessation in production of coal by 80
per cent and the deterioration of the
mines has forced the railways to de-
pend much more upon wood. Such
wood must come from the forests of
northern Russia and the haul is too
long for supply to southern Russian
railways. An effort has been made to
change the LOGON olives on the south
ern railways into oil burners, but the
gradual decline of oil production has
limited this transformation.
Under the impulse given by ship
ment of the former bank reserves of
gold there has been some stimulation
to imports. The total imports for six
weeks, April l to May Is, are given as
10000 tens, or less than per cent of
prewar averages for the same period.
Exports, aside from pine logs, were re-
ported as LOO tons for April, or about
one-twentieth of per cent of the same
period pre-war. Recent reports as to
instructions given to foreign agents of
the Russian government indicate the
practical exhaustion of gold and con-
sequent reduction Of foreign pur-
chases."

withdraw objections to her exploita-
ton, say, of Manchuria.
Such step would bring vigorous OBJ
lection from two quarters The Chinese
would oppose it to The last ditch, nat
urally, while advocates of the golden
rule and recognition of rights of small
nations would object to anything of the
sort. Some of the more hardened dip
lomats, however, take the view that
it is Impossible to observe all the copy
book maxims in interna tional negotia-
tons, especially where a nation so far
from aitrnistic as Japan is involved.
No nation, according to the dplo-
mats, is entirely white and pure so
far as its relations to the Far Eas.-
ern situation are concerned. Even the
United States, they point out, does
not permit foreigners to exploit oil
concessions in the Philippines, while
the American tariff wall is about TO
be put higher around those islands,
thus giving American merchants adj
ditional advantages in marketing their
goods in the islands.
Point two as made by the diplomats
is that China is for the present ap-
parently unable to maintain order
throughout the Celestial empire. On
the contrary, not only are there two
conflicting governments. one in the
north and the other in the south, but
according to all the information OBJ
talnable she is unable to restrain or
gained bands of soldiers from loot
ing in many sections of the country,
the chief reason ascribed being that
the soldiers are not paid.
Inclined to Look the Other WAY
So, the very practical Old World
diplomats argue, why should there be
any strong objection to the United
States, along with the other powers
of the situation, and temporarily
CLOSING over little more ravishinr
OF China by Japan, especially if Japan
VII! agree to maintain an open door
policy?
The State Department set at rest
apprehension prevalent in certain
quarters that the United States was
TO loot the bills for the foreign dele
ence. 1t was indicated that this
government has never even considered
acting as host to the extent of paying
the expenses Of the foreign grouns
who will come here. This government
VII pay only the bills incurred by
the American commission.
Such an expenditure could not he
met in any case without Congress pro-
vldlng an appropriation for the Dur
pose and the State Department has no
intention of asking for one. The total
sum to be expended for such a pur-
pose would mount to hundreds of thou
sands of dollars, if not millions. It is
estimated that the British delegation
alone will number $50 persons, includ-
ing accredited ENJOYS, secretaries,
specialists and clerical workers. ,Japan
will in all probability bring as many
more, while France, Italy and China
will swell the foreign representation
by several hundreds.
The State Department is informed
that each foreign commission desires
the use of an entire hotel for its ac
commodation. 1t is understood that
real estate dealers handling the leases

The business world reflects the dis

jars incident to abnormal demands,
credit infations and price upheavals.
The normal balances have been i'm

have been clogged, the relations of
labor and management have been
strained. We must seek the read
justment with care and courage. Our
people must give and take. Prices
must reflect the reccding fever of her

out.
On the other hand. Senators sup

Colombia $25,0Oo.0O0 in five annual
instalments from the United States

to do.

WOMAN BEING MAYOR

PROSTITUTE, Ma, March 1o.-At-

has submitted an opinion in effect
that "A woman Is not eligible for the
office of mayor OF Frostburg. but Is
for councilman. According 10 the
charter. the mayor must not only be
qualified voter but a male" citizen
He says: 1.-THE masculine pronoun
OF mayor indicates an intention that
the office should be flled only by n
man"
Tho word male" is not used in con-
1ection with the office OF councilman
IN prescribing qualifications, nor is
the masculine pronoun used. hence Mr..
Armstrong thinks a woman could be
legally a councilmanic candidate.
