killed in the explosion yesterday on

from the burning buildings. The fire
men early today had succeeded In
localizing the fire.
The Mancred-Weiss works IS the
only munitions factory permitted in
Hungary under the Trianon treaty. It
is under control OF the Interallied

600. 900 GALLONS SAVED.
Continued Cooperation in Use of
Water Is Advocated.

Fears of water shortage because
of the excessive consumption during
the protracted torrid wave were al
leviated somewhat today when Off
Gals of the District water depart
ment announced a reduction of ap-
proXimately 100000 gallons in the
amount used for the 24-hour period
ending at s o'clock this morning, as
compared with the record-breaking
total of $500, 900 gallons consumed
in the preceding 24-hour period.
The appeal of the Commissioners
urging water consumers to restrict
the use to one hour during the
periods allowed by the police regula-
lions for sprinkling and curtail all
non essential uses is believed by the
officials to be responsible for the low.

walton of water throughout the period
