A communication to this effect was submitted to the council lust evening by Water Hupt. F. H. Hayes who wis acting at the direction of the water commission. The charge is not being made a a matter of revenue, according to Chairman J. T. Brown of the com mission, but as a matter of regulat ing the use of the water and pre venting waate.

According to members of the com miMHlnn there has been a slnfut waste of water in flushing the sew ors In past years. There are about 40 automatic flush tanks in the city and members of the commission state they have been advised by the city engineer that it Is necessary that these he flushed only a few times a day to kep the sewer clean. At time, however It Ik ald that the tanks have b p n fl u s h 1 n g evtrv is minutes, and Supt Hayes by compu tation estimated at one timo that a million a lions of water was goln-t i through these tanks daily. When he screwed down the faucets to check the flow. Street Commissioner Heathman is said to have promptly turned them on again.

If they fail, they will repeat their efforts in a more unpleasant measure. This was the sensationally frank declaration of the Berlin socialist organ Vorwoerts. It Is considered deeply significant of the junkers, gradual re-assumption of control in the present crisis, likewise of tht close cooperation among those seek ing reforms. "C!ermany is en route to a peaceful revolution. the , Vorwoertw ednrrd. ' It may take weeks, months or It may come suddenly In one blow. If the present crisis doesn't lead to de cisive, positive events soon, it W'H be repeated in sharper form, under unpleasant circumstances. Germany's officialdom is steadily retraining con trol of the political situation. GREAT SHOW OF GERMAN ACTIVITY ON WEST FRONT BRITISH HEADQl'ARTTERS, July 12. Hindenburg is evidently trying to stem the dissatisfaction at home by a big showing on the western front. Today Prussian troops opposite the entire British line are more active than they have been at any time dur ing the past year. South of Scarpe the enemy retook a portion of a trench vest of Vert wood on Infantry hill. In the Iembartzyde section there .was great activity. German artillery in concentration along the Belgian coast is the biggest since the German ef- j Torts at erdun. Explosives were leveled at the sand hills and British trenches. A lighthouse at the mouth of Ypres, a. life saving station was educed to ruins. Today the British are she! lint; the German's new po sitions. Near Lens the Germans occupied a previously occupied vacant trench from which they unsuccessfully tried ti- capture British outposts. The enemy left a number of dead. All these activities in the German armies suggest Hindenburg has order ed all branches of the army to fight harder for the- effect - back' home. Prisoners say that a general dissatis faction exists among the Germans with the present state of affairs. 1 Bl BUSINESS BLAMES ABR L FOR HIGH COST Plea Made That Fierce Bidding for Workmen Has Sent Wages Out of Sight and More Profits are Required to Meet Drain.
