The gradual "falling off in ef ficiency of the machine in the past few weeks has been due to the quality of water used, it was stated. Steam going through the turbine has carried considerable deposits of sewage with it. The sewage was picked up when ' the water taken from the river was put into the boilers. Normally, the filtering methods provided to clear the water would take care of this deposit, but the past few weeks have been so dry that considerable amounts were carried through and formed an organic deposit on the buckets of the turbine. -:.-.. The result was that - steam.-! going through the machine without exerting its full turning effect. Repair Cost $2,000. Approximately $2,000 will be expend ed in" putting the turbine into first class condition. In the meantimo other machines in the plant are carrying the load. - Plans of the city officials are to In stall a spray- pond and a- filtering system at a cost of $40,000. When this installation is completed it will insure an adequate supply of pure water to the plant at all times, without the necessity of depending on the rainfall and varying flow of the river. The spray pond will cool the water once it has been admitted to the plant and it may be used again. PROGRESS OF WORLD PROHIBITION IS TOLD AT V.G.T.U.

' - ; " ' The Fasclstl chieftain suggested that a meeting of foreign ministers be held next week-end at Nice or Lausanne. It was at the later place that the meeting between allied leaders and Ismet Pasha was to have been held thi3 morning. This parley was- postponed when France and Britain failed to agree. Premier Poincare conferred with Lord Hardinge, British Ambassador here, but refused to accept Lord Cutzon's invitation to come to London for a conference on the' Turkish crista. However he stated he favored a meeting of allied leaders before the peace parley is held with the Turks. Nations Deadlocked.

Now that the Lausanne conference has been postponed to Nov. 20, the question most urgently asked here is whether it will be possible to maintain peace in Constantinople in the interim. Restoration of communications has revealed such an ugly situation there that it is evident the utmost tact and skill win be necessary to prevent violent outbursts. All reports coming to London concur in saying that the extremists are dominating the Anenra. rnwrnmpnt which through its agents in Constantinople is following the policy of defiance toward the allies and terrorism among the local population. - Residents of Constantinople are described as being in a state of extreme alarm while the position of the allied troops is represented as one which soon may become untenable. An incident which sharply shows the total changes in the situation from conditions which have prevailed during the past year is reported by some correspondents wnose aispatcnes say that an English book merchant who became involved in a street Bquabble was seized by the Turkish police, taken to the Galata police station and thrashed. The correspondents maintain that the establishment of martial law alone can make Constantinople safe. Need Display of Unity. Complete agreement among the al lies and a display of unity in the na ture of granting full authority to their commanders in Constantinople to cooperate in any emergency would re move anxiety, u is contended and guarantee stability during the discussion with the Turks at Lausanne. Without euch complete co-operation it is arpued the .conference had better not be held. Commentators in London generally insist strongly upon the necessity of allied representatives to meet together Detore talking to the Turks at Lausanne, in order to decide a common, policy. Unless this is done, some ob-' servers fel it will be impossible for Great Britian to be represented at Lausanne at all. SLAIN MAN'S WIDOW MAY SIT ON JURY (By United Press) MANCHESTER, Ohio. Nov. IS.
