His own experience abroad. he
said. did not bear out the publish
ed reports that Europe was rapid
ly getting back to normal. Person
ally, he did not find the evidence
for such statements. On the con-
trary. prices were high in every
country he visited. and many lack
ed the ne ans to buy food, and the
unemployment situation was ser
ious in the extreme.
In Sweden alone there we're
$50. 900 unemployed. Not all the
factories are open in Germany, he
said. A pail hangs over Paris, he
maintained.
He declared that the Germans
were discouraged and angry and
inclined to isolate themselves from
the rest of the world. Germans, be
claimed, blamed America for their
present desperate condition. on the
ground that il America had not en-
tered tho war they would not be
in such a plight

CITY WATER Is
MUDDY; MURRIN
GIVES REASONS

Citizens using city water from
mains that are not fed from the big
standpipe have been making in
quiry about the extreme discolora-
ton of the water John A Murrin,
in charge of the waterworks, ex-
plains that the discoloration is due
to the muddy water of the Missis-
sippi river, but states that the wa
ter is absolutely pure.
Persons whose service pipes tap
mains leading from the standpipe
are still receiving clear water from
the supply that was on hand 1t is
explained that to clear up the in
coming water perfectly would ne
cessitate the use of too large a per-
centage of chemicals. This condi-
ton is expected to clear up in short
