throughout the empire, and while no
formal announcement of the fact has
yet been made to the powers, it is
generally believed here that the Ger
man mobilization is already secretly
under way.
All diplomatic intercourse has ap-
parently come to standstill and
every embassy in London has adopted
a non-communicative attitude while
awaiting the announcement from
Berlin that war has actually been de-
clared ...
Detailed information from the Ser
Wan scene of activities is practically
nil. Obviously Vienna has clapped
on an air-tight censorship and little
detailed information from the Bal
kans is expected until after the Berlin
situation has come to head.
London. Socialists may attempt
a general strike in all industries, if
there is general European war.
The international Socialist con-
gress, originally planned for Vienna
on August %, and now to be held in
Paris on August 8, is expected to take
such action as a protest against
militarism.
The Socialists threat of a strike
averted a serious break between
France and Germany over the Moroc-
can crisis two years ago.
New York.-With four great trans
Atlantic liners now held in various
ports because of the European war
crisis, all German lines today faced
the possibility of having their giant
passenger carrying vessels requisi-
toned by the government.
Berin.-Prices on food imported
from Russia doubled today. Potatoes
unobtainable. No London mails.
Ottawa.-Canada will aid mother
country if England is drawn into war.
Preliminary plans made for sending
first contingent of 10000 or $4,000

either Spain or Austria should be at
war with Russia.
Series of explosions heard on Rus
sian side of Austro-Russian frontier
at Myslowitz early today. Cars
troops reported to have blown up big
bridge.
Nish.-Statement issued by our
war Office said that Austrians failed in
effort to force the pass which COM
mands the approach to the NoraEa
valley.
London.-Committee decided to
close London stock exchange until
further notice naccount of interna-
tional war crisis. Exchanges at Liver
pool, Edinburgh and Manchester also
closed.
BerIin.-HaVing lost more than
$4,000 in the financial crisis brought
on by the Austro-Servian war, Eu-
gene Fiber, wealthy banker of Pots
dam, shot his wife and suicided.
Vienna specials presist that Bal
grade has been occupied by Aus
TRANS. Dispatches from Nish assert
invasion by Austrian troops has been
repulsed at all points. Government
censors on both sides appear to be
playing to diplomats pending Ger
man-Russian crisis.
New York.-TWo American Wo-
men, one the Princess Sazarovich-
Hrebelianovitch, formerly Eleanor
Calhoun, California actress, and the
other Nine Marie Grouitch, formerly
Mabel Dunlop of Clarksburg, w. Va,
will probably play important parts in
the Austro-Servian war. Nine.
Grouitch is now in London organic
ing the Servian Red Cross. The
Princess Sazarovich is collecting
funds for this work at her home in
Los Angeles, but will leave shortly for
Servia.

CLARkE'S EXPENSES.

We are forced to believe that there must be some biographical or typo graphical error in the Gazettes dis patch from Washington showing that Senator Clarke had filed a sworn statement to the effect that his cam paign expenses to March l5 amount ed to only $560. That amount would not have been sufficient to pay for the literature which Senator Clarke has mailed to Conway alone; and surely the senator has not confined the dis patch of his literature to this city.
 Of course, the fact that Senator Clarkes campaign manager, Percy Allen, and one of the chief clerks in his headquarters are both drawing big salaries from the government and the fact that much of his campaign ing has been done by men who have received or who expect to receive some office from him have saved the senator no little expense in conduct ing his campaign. But surely the postmaster whom he recently appoint ed at Little Rock is not accepting his literature without prepayment of postage.
 The senator said in his Morrilton speech that Judge Kirby's opposition would force him to spend $10,000 to be reelected. If he had spent only $560 of this amount up to March IS, he certainly must intend to turn loose some big wads in the last 10 days of the campaign.

 Regulation by commissions of high standing composed of individuals of ability and integrity, and good i'm partial judgment, is the greatest pro- lection to the public interests as against private eXactions that ever was devised; it's effectiveness depends upon standing with the public of the commission as whole and the com missioners as individuals

FINE PAINTINGS TO
 BE SHOWN HERE

At meeting last night of repre- sentatives of the four schools of Con- way arrangements were made for bringing to the city collection of a1out 80 original paintings belonging to the National Arts Guild of the General Federation of Women s Clubs for a four-day exhibition the first of May.
 The object is purely educational A nominal admittance charge will be made to cover cost of the exhibition. A lecturer will be in attendance to explain the fine points of the pictures and in other ways to help the un- initiated to helpful appreciation of the exhibition and of the pictures in general.
 Further announcement will be made as soon as definite arrange ments shall have been made.

time be destructive of public service as we'll as of public morals
 While this could not be called an enthusiastic endorsement of the pub lie service commission idea, it in a measure commits the Bell company to policy of acceptance of such super vision. The matter is almost certain to come up in the next general assem- ply, and We are anxious to see what the policy the division of the company operating in Arkansas will pursue at that time.

Oats are about all sown and garden ing is the order of the day. F. H. McCarty made a trip to Con- way Saturday. Several of our farmers hauled fer tilizer the past week.
 Dr. W. T. Mcdonald has been ap- pointed registrar of district No. 5590, to report the deaths and births. Mrs. Mcdonald is deputy. Dr. Me Donald requests that people report to him.
 There were about 50 seats made Saturday, at the public working, for the new church and we have not made more than half of them. Rev. Melton will conduct the dedicational services of the new Baptist church the next regular meeting day, which is next Sunday.
 Miss Irma and Bum Bryant have returned home from Cato, where they have been attending school this win ter.
 Rev. A. A. Parsons preached an in terestlng sermon at the Methodist church Sunday.
 We have church services here every Sunday as follows: Rev A. G. Du- ran, every first Sunday; Rev. Gossett, the pastor of the M E. church, every second Sunday; Rev. A. A. Parsons, every third Sunday, and Rev. H. H. Melton, pastor of the Baptist church, every fourth Sunday.
 It is reported that Rev. Whiting ton of Conway will help in the dedi- cational services here next Sunday.

Telephone Achievements


over long distance circuits of which as much 20 miles was in underground ca bles. By 1906 underground talking dis tance had increased to 90 miles. By 1912 it was possible to talk underground from New York to Washington.
 It was then that the construction of un- derground conduits from Boston to Wash ington was determined-not that it was ex- pected to get through underground talk between those places, but in of storm or blizzard, to utilize intermediate sections in connection with the overhead.
 Our persistent study and incessant ex- permentation have produced results more remarkable still.
 We have perfected cable, apparatus and methods that have overcome obstacles here tofore regarded as inSuperable both to long g-distance overhead and underground conversation.
 Underground conversation is now possi- ble between Boston and Washington, four times the length of the longest European underground line. This enabled the Bell System in the recent great storm, so de- Structlve on land and sea, to maintain com- munication for the public between all the principal points on the Atlantic seaboard.
 Telephone communication is established between New York and Denver is poten- tially possible between all points in the United States, and by 1915 will be an ae- complished fact between New York and San Francisco.
 In our use of methods of apparatus, we are committed to one system We own control or have the right to use inventions necessary to operate any system recognized or accepted as the most efficient. The Bell System must always recognize, and in its selection must always be governed by the necessities of a national service, with it's complex requirements, which is infinitely more exacting than local or limited service.
 These achievements represent vast ex- penditures of money and immense concen- tration of effort which have been justified by results of immeasurable benefit to the public. No local company unaided could bear the financial or scientific burden of this work Such results are possible only through q centralized general staff avoid ing wastefu duplication of effort, working out problems common to all, for the benefit of all
 The pioneers of the Bell System recogniz- ed that telephone service, as they saw 1t, was in the broadest sense a public utility; that upon them rested public obligation to give the best possible service at the most reasonable rates consistent with risk, in- vestment and the continued improvement and maintenance of its property.
 Without this expenditure of millions and concentration of effort the telephone art as it exists could not have been developed.
 What we have done in working out these great problems in the past should be ac- cepted as a guarantee of what we will do in the future.

In no line of human endeavor has the in ventive brain of the scientist contributed more to the worlds progress than by the creation of the art of telephony, of which the Bell system is the embodiment
 When the telephone born, nothing know is existed There was no tradition to guide, no experience to follow.
 The system, the apparatus, the methods -an entire new art had to be created The art of electrical engineering did not exist. The Bell pioneers, recognizing that success depended upon the highest engineering and technical skill at once organized an experi- mental and research department which is now directed by staff of over $50 engi- neers and scientists, including former pro- fessors, postgraduate students, scientific investigators-the graduates of over 70 universities.
 From its foundation the company has continuously developed the art. New i'm provements in telephones, switchboards, lines, cables, have followed one another with remarkable rapidity.
 While each successive type of apparatus to the superficial observer suggested simi- larty, each step in the evolution marked a decided improvement. These changes, this evolution, has not only been continuous but is continuing Substantially all of the plant now in use, including telephones, switch boards, cables and wires, has been con structed, renewed or reconstructed in the past 10 years
 Particularly in switchboards have the changes been so radical that installations costing in the aggregate millions have ire quently been discarded after only a few years of use.
 Since 1877 there have been reduced 5 types and styles of receivers and 73 types and styles of transmtters Of the 12,000,- 900 telephone receivers and transmitters owned by the Bell Company January l, 1914, none were in use prior to 1902, while the average age is less than five years.
 Within 10 years we have expended for construction and reconstruction an amount more than equal to the present book value of our entire plant.
 Long-distance and underground transmits sion was the most formidable scientific problem confronting the telephone experts
 The retarding effect of the earth on the telephone current often impaired conversa- tion through one mile underground as much as through 100 miles overhead. Overhead conversation had its distinct limitations.
 No possible improvement in the telephone transmitter could of itself solve these diff culties.
 ulative effect of improvements, great and small, in telephone transmitter, line cable, switchboard, and every other piece of ap- paratus or plant required in the transmits sion of speech.
 While the limit of commercial overhead talking had increased from strictly local to over ,000 miles as early as 1893, it was not until 1905 that conversation could be had

WILL REvOlUTIONiZE
LONG DISTANCE TOURS

Paris. Feb, Paul Schmidt, an
engineer has constructed an aero
plane with extraordinary lifting ca
pacity which he claims will revolu-
tionize long distance tours and also
make an aerial omnibus service feas-
ible.
In a trial Of the machine, with
seven men aboard and carrying an
aggregate weight Of a ton and q half
the air craft rose to height Of
about 5000 feet in half an hour.
Among the device on the aeroplane is
one by which its speed can be regu-
lated. An ingenious arrangement of
the wings permits the new machine
to rise without the customary violent
manipulation Of the elevating planes.
