II will assure purity of water
through all parts of the city.
Water Supt ". A. Kunigk said
he plans to put in one new ma
chine at the Green river head
works. another at the McMillin
reservoir and rebuild the present
device at the headworks for in

While city officials always have
been able TO deliver pure water to
the city limits. they had no way
of preventing pollution in the

chlorinating arrangement was
planned to take care of any i'm
purities which might be syphoned

u. S. Set Precedent

Under the general concept of
international law. a neutral nation
is not supposed to permit bel
ligerent warship to use its ports
for the purpose of rearming or
repairing war damage. Ordinarily.
such a move would be considered
an unfriendly if not hostile act
by the belligereht adversely af-
fected.
The United States itself set a
precedent in this connection dur
ing the RuSso-JapaneSe War in
1905. Three Russian ships which
sought asylum at Manila after a
losing encounter withf the Japa-
neSe fleet. were informed The
United States decided the war
damage could not be repaired
without internment.
The Presidents proposal. II was
felt. undoubtedly contravenes the
spirit of the Hague neutrality
convention of 1907. forbidding any
aid to belligerent warShips beyond
making them seaworthy. How
ever, it does not actually consti-
