tain problems in connection with col
ored players on athletic teams repre-
senting the university, the corporation
has asked me to reply as follows on
their behalf.
"They think that in the future the
athletic committee should make it
plain to other institutions with whom
we are competing that it is Harvards
principle that there should be no racial
discrimination among our students"
So far as Harvard is concerned the
Alexis incident is cleared up; but Har-
ward students who vigorously pro
tested the ban on the colored player
as an "indefensible position in the eyes
of a democratic nation" are pressing
for an investigation of the Naval
Academy and Senator David l. Walsh
chairman of Committee on Naval
Affairs is understood to have promised
such investigation.

 May Lead To Changes
City Officials Hoping to Find Solution of Placing Water Department on SeIf.SuppOrtng Basis

the subject and make recommenda- tions. Appointment of the commit tee is expected soon.
 The water department Is now able to balance" Hts budget only by making large charges against var ious city departments for water. The money to meet these charges comes from the general fund, and 1t means that money raised from general taxation is being used to maintain the water department. Senator Clarence Baldwin, ranking Republican member of the finance committee of the legislature, has stated he believes this system to be unsound, and he favors going so far as to have water rents raised enough to have the department meet the principal and interest payments on the water bonds.
 One of the plans which has al- ready been suggested to Mayor Scully is that water charges be based on a sliding scale. This would mean a cheaper rate for large users of water and proportionately higher rates for those using little.
 City officials are understood to bt fearful of 8 general fiat increase ir water rents, on the theory that large users would find the price sc high that they would sink artesiar wells or use other methods to gel their own water supply. This would mean Q revenue loss that woulc have a serious effect on plans fol improvement of the water system.
 The water bond bill will be con- sidered by the finance committee ol the General Assembly at @ meeting at Hartford the 18th. The city's pro. gram has already been outlined by Mayor Scully and Controller Thomas M. Conlon in meetings witt leading members of the committee.

Within a very short time they will have completely suppressed the wit ness work. (John 9:4). That will mean that Jehovas strange work" Is completed according to his will. (Isa. 28:2D. It will show that the conspirators have deliberately with malice aforethought, performed their wicked part against Jehovah and his witnesses. The closing of the witness work will certainly be the occasion when religionists and allies will boastfully say: Peace and saiety". The proclamation that "all's well' will be occasion for them to begin to congratulate and felici- tate one another: Peace and safe- ty; we are all right now!"
