ELECTRIC THAWING FAILS
New Method Rings All the Telephone
Bells in Plymouth, Ind

Plymouth, Ind, March 2-The expert
ment of thawing out the iron water
mains by electricity has been tried here
Hardly had the heavy arc wires been
connected with the mains and a circuit
established when every telephone bell
in town began making furious racket.
Most of the ground connections to
the telephone system are made by at
taching the wire to water pipes. The
mains could soon be thawed if the peo-
pie could stand the noise of the bell
ringing.

EngIand's Call to Arms.

With remarkable celerity the British
war Office has managed to notify the re-
serves and provide them with travel money
and transportation to points of mobiliza-
tion, and 1t is said that most of them wi |
be available for immediate service within
a week. From this time on it is apparent
that there viii be no delay in getting the
army corps. ordered for South African
service, in readiness. Lord Salisbury is
reported 10 be still striving for peace.
which probably on analysis would be found
TO be delay; but delay is not likely to last
much longer. Both the Pretoria and
Bloemfontein Governments are said to
have sent notes to London demanding an
explanation of British mi itary movements
and couched in defiant language In min
isterial circles it is stated that war could
yet be ayerted by Boer compliance with
imperial demands and an indemnity for
the expense incurred by England in pre-
pairing for hostile eventualities.
No one imagines that the burghers would
tolerate such a submission on the part of
their authorities, and certainly the British
Government cannot turn back for a lesser
reason. The two armies are within bugIe
sound of each other on the Natal from
tier, and late dispatches represent the
Beers as gradually drawing closer to the
boundary line in force. The mere fact of
such proximity, coupled with the restless
ness and vindictive rage of Joubert's
troops, must lead to bIoodshed. il the situ-
alton is prolonged many days The opin-
Ion in Cape Town and in London is that
hostilities, at least on small scale, will
occur this week
There is small possibility that England's
designs on Delagoa Bay will have any
effect in producing European complications.
The position of Portugal in the matter is
well understood at the Continental chan
celleries. A treaty exists between Great
Britain and Portugal by virtue of which
the former has perpetual option on the
harbor and its hinterland, whenever the
latter chooses to part with It. Whether or
not Continental interest would be strong
enough to precipitate trouble in case of a
transfer OF title is an open question: bur
1t is not likely that any serious objection
would be made, especially IL the British
Government were prepared to offer some
concessions in return for the complaisance
OF Germany and perhaps of France. The
United States Government has caused 1t
to be known unoficially that there will be
no interference or meddling from this side
OF the water. and it may be deduced from
all the indications in the United Kingdom
and Europe that Great Britain will have
free hand to restore order and guarantee
civilization in South Africa.
How serious task that may be. or how
