WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, May 7. That tin
German government would repudiate
the responsibility toward the United
States for the Lusitania disaster was
the concensus of opinion In official
circles. It is believed this expected
attitude will be based on the' adver
tisements published by the embassy in
New York newspapers on the day the
vessel sailed warning Americans
against traveling on British ships.
This warning, followed by the sinking
of the vessel, caused a comment con
cernlng a possible knowledge by the
German embassy of what was to hap
pen, but this is wholly unofficial.
WASHINGTON, May 7. At the
state department it was said the Lusl
tanla and the Falaba disasters fell in
the same category and undoubtedly
would be handled along precisely sim
ilar lines, insofar as American official

By a plan Inaugurated last evening
by the Pendleton water commission
the people of the oity are to be? per
mitted to use the surplus water of the
gravity system this summer without
any additional cost. The revenue de
rived In 19H from the system hav
ing been ample for the maintenance
and operation of the department and
for the sinking fund requirements, the
commission unanimously decided last
evening that. If the same amount o(
revenue can be secured this year, the
people should have the benefit of the
entire water supply without extra
charge.
The water users are to be given
their choice of two different plans os
embodied In two separate resolutions,
one Introduced by Commissioner
Strain and the other by Commissioner
Best, Mr. Strain's resolution requires
the superintendent to establish mor.lh
by month the available excess of wa
ter, this excess to he divided pro rata
nmong the residential users. Thus In
the month of May the surplus is estab-j
lished at 25 per cent. If you accept
the Strain plan, you sign a contract
to pay as much for water this month
as you did In May, 1914, and at the
same time you will be entitled to use
one fourth more water than last year.
If you use more than a fourth more,
you will be required to pay extra st
the rate of 25 cents per thousand gal
Ions.
If you do not wish to sign the con
tract for your pro rata share of the
surplus, you will be permitted by the
Best resolution to extra water any
way. The Best resolution raises the
maximum amount of water available
at the minimum charge from 4000
gallons to 6000 gallons a month.
Thus those who do not sign a con
tract for water In accordance with
the Strain resolution will be given
BOOO gallons of water for a dollar In
stead of 4000 as heretofore. In elth.
er event, the householder who needs

That such beautiful and elegant
pieces of furniture as are on exhibit

seems almost unbelievable to tho.ie

turned out by the advanced students
of the department and there Isn't e
