fort yesterday to put the House mili
tary committeo on record against uni

that no radical change in military
policy should be considered in framing

not get beyond tlie formative stage by
March 1.

Water Supply Shortage
Alarms City of Lancaster
Lancaster, Pa., Jan. 13. This city
had a scare yesterday, when its water
supply was shut ofC through the freez
ing of the Conestoga river.
The stream was low when the cold
wave arrived, and last night the water
on nine mi 11 dams, on a twenty-mile
stretch above the city and at numer
ous other places in the stream, froze
to the bottom. The city's water works
pumps were useless, and the only re
serve supply was that in the Bast End
reservoir. The serious situation alarm
ed the city authorities, and prepara
tions were made to dynamite the ice at
various points. The shutting down of
tlie mills along the stream relieved the
situation by sending down enough
water to form channels through the
ice.
