WASHINGTON, Oct 21. ttegardless o
Mm evtccma at the comlne eiect'on, Pree-
MtM Wilson will b asked to mk anothir
ov tor peace. Word w received her
I toay that (i movement along this lint again
, hi being strongly fostered by the American
Neutral Conference Committee, of which
Hamilton Holt I cha'rnun. nrnl sevetal
organisation whose Identity has not yt
I'twi revealed, The appeal to the Preeldent
, will be mad shortly after election. It will
' , he made simultaneously w,lh a similar ep-
2t to tha Pope and very probably King
4 Alfonso ot ftpaln, It waa understood here
i Officials here lay that lhl new peace
i wv?ent will have the active eupport of
(all the element that were enlisted In the
original Henry ford peace movement, nnd
a!x w Include Social eta of neutral
' emtntrlea, wlfo for coma time back have
f keen working Independently In their home
J eemntrle seeking to create a sentiment for
ending the world war.
The plan now under consideration ) to
request the Preeldent to offer hla good
, efrle aa mediator and to couple thla offer
with a requeet that, In view of tha fact
, that the great eampalgna along the varloue
ircnta are now entering Into the "ciutet"
winter stages, all pari lee agree to an armla-
' tic while an effort le being made to see
t whether there cannot be found aome aort
I at a common maelng ground for diplomatic
PArleys.
PEAQB PftOHPECT DAUIC
While Preeldent Wilson's action naturally
r cannot be forecast, offlelala here, who are
1 entirely familiar with tha general altuatlon,
, say that they are fully convinced that ho
an do nothing at thla time. He recently
has conferred with tha principal American
Ambaaiadora to the Entente countrlea, Am-
I bassadof Page and Hharp. The former la
, back on hla Job In London and the latter
, called today to reeuma hla dutlea In France.
t Tliey told the Preeldent that. In their opln-
' leri there waa no possibility of peace with
, In another year at the leant; that Franca
would not even coneent to conalder any
' movement along thla Una eo long aa Oer
I man troope Were on her eoll. And It le
known that, while the Preeldent haa not
lyit conferred with Ambaaaador Oerard, the
t I latter nee lei mm Know man, in ma uiiimuu,
' (lermany would pot conalder any peace plan
I under existing condltlona that called for
anything more from her than a reatoratlon
' ot conditions bsj
woi began.
'they prevailed before the
City News in Brief
All of the Information now available
here la that tha war will continue for at
.least another year. Despite the enormoue
Mossce on all aides, the military leadera
,ra still confident everywhere, And of.
, flclale here who ahould know aay that the
rumor that Ituislu will conclude a sep
i arate peace with Germany during the com
.lug winter are without foundation. The
' military authorities here who are closely
, watching developments claim that1 the big'
i -- .mm. .(v.. kV m i.nttH mtm vill h
.fought on tha -western front through the
.coming wjntorf spring and eummer. and
that It will be the autumn of 117 befpre
i any of the belligerents will be In auch
condition aa to consider any other means
than force or ending tha war.
These officials also aay that this does
not mean that they look for a complete
victory for either side. The contrary la
, the ease. They believe that the eventual
outcome must be more or lee of a dead
' lock, and frankly state that If tha peoples
I ef the warring nations themselvee could
be made fully aware of tha exact altuatlon
movement to aettle the war now would
have every chance of success.

IT'S ALGAE THAT MAKE
YOUR H2O UNPOTABLE
Experts at Water Bureau Say
111 Odor la Due to Vegeta
tion Not Unhealthy
Philadelphia water, despite Us evil odor
and peculiar color. Is pure. Thla fact was
definitely determined by laboratory tests
rhae today by experts of the Bureau of
Water, who, for a week past, have been
flooded with complaint.
In making publlo the fact that no danger
accompanies the use of the water, olllclals
of the bureau explained the evil odors by
saying thst they emannte from a micro
organic life In the Schuylkill and Delaware
Myers, and that at thla time It la particu
larly noticeable because of the absence of
any heavy fall rains to flush the streams
from which the raw supply of water comes.
The trouble Is caused by the vegetation,
technically called algae, nnd officials nt the
water laboratory staled that the mere pas
sage of the water through the filters does not
end the trouble, aa tho growth appears In
the reservoirs as well. This has been the
case at the George's Hill Iteservolr, making
water In West Philadelphia the worst In
the city. Both odor and luste are attributed
partly to the presence of dead leaves In the
low alugglsh stream, and condition will
be materially Improved only by the arrival
of heavy rains and cold weather. Other
cities equipped with filtration plants such
as the one at Torresdala are suffering from
similar conditions, according to the water
experts.

Miller, Nevada senatorial candidate, ex
pects to take 1600 votes from the llepub
llcan nominee and 2000 votes from Senator
Kep Plttman.
Adolph Germer, national secretary of the
Socialist Party, said:
"London's election is regarded as a cer
tainty. His record and the growing o
clallat strength In his district leave no room,
for doubt. Hlllqult's district, according to
all reports, will send him to Congress, with
out doubt.
"Uerger's district Is expected to swing
back Into the Socialist column, because of
two years of additional education and or
ganisation and because of the character of
the opposition. Gaylord came so close In
tho last election that he took his case to
Congress on a protest.
The campaign in the Debs district looks
good, and orator are concentrating there,
us they are in other districts. In Oklahoma

a mighty confident group of party leaders.
They believe Ihst the trip of the President

SCORN PHUADELPHIANS,
SO GIRLS TRY ST. LOUIS
"Men Here Too Solllah; What
Have You Got?" Y. W. C. A.
Maid Wires Mayor
Philadelphia men are selfish and too slow,
according to two attractive young girls, one
of whom has flashed a wlro all the way
to St. Louis asking the Mayor there to find
her a husband. Doth are working girls,
and tailors' heroes and young men with the
cafe fever are not eligible, they say,
Tho two girls are Helen Dale, of Wll
llamsport, and Kthel Deem, who lives at the
V. W. C. A., at Eighteenth and Arch Btrcets.
Doth are anxious to get married if the
right man comes along by the way, he
should earn nt least 40 a week. Miss Dale
popped the queetlon to the Mayor of fit.
Louts, but signed Miss Ileum's name to
the message, Buch, at least, Is Miss Ileum's
version of the affair,
"Miss Dale found Philadelphia men
selfish," Miss Dean said. "I have met a
lot of agreeable men, but somehow none of
them has any definite Idea of getting mar
ried. Maybe marriage Is going out ot date.
'The Ideal husband for a working girt
Is one who Is fond of home life and good
cooking, lie should have a fair salary and
prospects, with no hint of the cafe fever,"
