FIRE ALARM SYSTEM
 IS BADLY MIXED UP
Alarm From Box 211 Fails to Regis ter Alike in Any Engine
 House.

One of the worst fire alarm mix ups in the history of the department occurred shortly after 10 o'clock last night when an alarm was sent in from box 211, at the corner of JuDl- lee and Chapman streets. This was the first time an alarm has been sounded from this box and the en- suing mix-up would nave been dis astrous had the fire been of a more serious nature.
 The fire was in small shack owr- next round gave the number An other round sounded PIP and the fol- lowing numbers were not distin- guishable. In none of the engine houses did the alarm register the same number and the men were at a loss to know where to go. They took a chance on the corner of Kel- sey and Fairview streets and from there could see the blaze on Belden street.
 The fire was in small shack owi- l cd and sometimes occupied by Conto | Pinto The origin of the blaze is | unknown but the structure was en- l tirely destroyed before the depart
 ment arrived. The owner was miss l ing last night and there was a report l to the. effect that he had died in the 1 flames but this was unfounded.
 City Electrician George Cooley re paired the defective box today.

Rome, Nov 8, via Paris, Nov. 9, 4:55 a. m-What appears to be a fore cast that Italy will send troops to All bania to aid the Serbs is contained in a semi official note which says that while Italy did not participate in the recent expedition of the allies to as- sist Srebia she has found a better way to oppose the Austro- o-German-Bulgar ian attack upon Serbia
 This way, the note says, was opened by the Bulgarians themselves when they threatened to invade Albania to reach the Adriatic, a design so dan gerous to Italy's interest that 'The mere threat must oblige Italy to take appropriate measures to frustratee it immediately"
