OPTIMISM IN WEST
San Francisco Conditions Are
Rapidly Improving
S.in Franclm (i. April it!.—Gradually the j
national government i* taking over thsj
work of succoring the homeless and |
foi diess thousands of San Francisco and
t< i iorrow the representative* of tin
Vn'.ted States army will have chains
of the gigantic task of issuing food iu
all those who still remain in the city,
'this development resulted from t ha
n •etlng of the executive committee to*
uay and the work will h« turned over
•o toe United Stales Quartermaster of
th>* department who will establish a
complete avHlem of Ismilug rations at all
of the fifty eight stations throughout
the city.
This was a duy of optimistic report!
from all directions. "Conditions Improve
ins." was tho nappy expression from
those who have hud charge of the aelf-
lip posed duties of currying foi* their less
f'li'tunate fellow townsmen during the
l ist few days
in fact, now that the most important
tTmy will hereafter be performed by the
t'tilled States army, that of distributing
tne food and supplies which have been
dc noted most lavishly by the people,
the rltlsen* of Sun Francisco have turn-
ed their attention to the details of the
reconstruction of their business
BUSINESS IS RESUMED.
There was resumption of business to
s i astonishing extent today, considering
the condition, throughout the resident

WATER STILL 6CARCE.
The water problem Is still a set
ie. It was derided today that
t'ce has not yet met In conference with
the executive committer nor with the
heuu« of lite mllitar\ and civil afitli'c
ll.'ts at Fort Mason. He has sent word,
In explanation of his absence from these
meetings (hat he has been advised too
latt to reach the meetings. It la not
kit' bii what ho will do with regard to
the Mate militia, but It may be vuid thai
the ciiUens of .Sun Francisco would ••x-
ptilence a feeling of relief if they were
removed Immediately. It appears as a
rule the members of the state militia
hive had a mlsapprenension of tlie con-
ditions which have prevailed in Han
Francisco during the past weeji They
huve acted as if martial law were In
force and that it was their duty to reg-
ulate the ufTairs of the city according
t > their individual conception of that
law.
Since th.-y have been confined to a
limited district, however, and the con-
ditions explained to them, theie has
been less complaint from cltlxens There
i.i nothing but the work of the army,
the navy and the municipal police They
have acted with reason a: ail times
Marines are being used in a large sec-
tion of the city for patrol duty and
have maiiitaiind the best of order with-
out oue Instance of conflict with any-
lody. The direction of the municipal
police under Mayor Sohmlti and Chief
Dliiun has been excellent, aud many are
the heroic actons that could be told of
the work of these men during the past
week. Mayor Uohmlts has worked day
and night to alleviate the condition* of
the people and bus directed affairs with
re; larkahle success. At no time has h<
lost control of the situation and he lias
kept In touch with every department,
military and civil, aud maintained har-
mony where friction nugiu have occur*
red under less competent direction.

JUST note, if you please, that most convincing hop
fragrance—and malt body. Then observe its brilliancy
—whether bottled or from the keg. These are uniforjn
characteristics which bespeak for Blatz Beers their un-
questioned honesty. These beers represent the very top-
most achievement in the art of rewing—Blatz own
process. Step in where you see I it/, signs. Tell the
man to "draw" you a glass of Blat/. ,'iencr Beer—or any
other Blatz brand. Be as critical as you like. "Your beer"
will be "Blatz" ever after. Cultivate the"Blatz sign habit."
Bottled Blatz is available, or should be, iij most first-
