Times For Telephone Oper
atOrS When Fire
Breaks Out

II people in general realized the
difficulties attendant on telephone
operators when a fire breaks out in
the city, they could be less severe in
their criticisms of the girls and the
service.
At the offices of the Mt. Vernon
Telephone Co. Tuesday evening,
when the fire on Ann street broke
out, General Manager e. o. Arnold
invited group of newspapermen
getting election returns to accompany
him upstairs. No sooner was the
door into the operating room opened
than hum of voices repeating rapid.
ly what sounded like Mansfield" met
the ears of the visitors.
There were six girls working at the
switchboard and it was taxing the
energies of all to respond to the
thousands of inquiries coming in as
to the location Of the fire. There was
no time to repeat as the calls pushed
each other so rapidly. All one could
hear on a nearer approach to the
switchboard was "Ann street, Ann
street, Ann street -"
The concensus of opinion was that
the strain was enough to vex any.
body. Several in the party remark
ed that they would never again call
up for the location of fire. Mr.. Arm
old stated that there was nothing un-
usual about the inquiries and that the
flood Of questions generally lasted
for half hour. 1t was plain to be
seen why service is so hard to obtain
when a fire breaks out.

Much interest also attached to can

was wide variance In the vote cast,
showing that there was q great deal
Of independent voting going on, not
only in the city of Mt. Vernon, but in
Clinton township as well.
Aside from the prohibition amend
ment, the other proposals and the
two referendums also ELECTED much
interest. This was particularly true
of the referendums-th one on the
liquor license act and the other on
the act fixing congressional districts.
These measures were fathered and
put through the legislature by the
Willis administration and each re-
ceived heavy punch in Mt. Vernon
and Knox county, Just as they did
throughout the state.
Some interesting figures are pre-
sented on the vote ON the prohibition
amendment this year as compared
with the vote on the same PROPOSE.
tion last year. In 1914 prohibition
was defeated in Mt. Vernon by 49;
this year it was defeated in the city
by 20. In Knox county in 1914 pro
hibition carried by 1,473; this year
1t carried by 1921.

Semiofficial accounts OF the fighting OF
the Belgians at Ypres show that the tao
tics of Gen. De Couninck, commanding
King Albert's troops between Yperlee and
Langemsrck. were brilliant and proved
enormously costly to the Germans. He
concealed machine gun sections of the
grenader and Gardiner regiments in
trenches near the Yperlee stream, sup
ported by grenadler battalion under
Mai. Borremans.
Not suspecting a trap. a huge wave of
Germans swept towards Yperlee until at
a range of 100 yards. the Belgian machine
guns began to belch death.
The Germans dense formation and the
onward thrust of their rear guard pre-
vented the onconing enemy from halting

for hundred yards around was carpeted
with dead.
As soon as the German rear turned

So complete was the surprise that the
Germans were unable to infiict any seri-

who counted but few dead and but 400
wounded among their ranks.

ITALY MAY DECLARE
war ANY DAY NOW
Prince Won Buelow and Baron Mac.
chic Admit Hope of Keeping Her
Out Is DwindIing.
BY DR.. K. J. DILLON.

Rome, May The wearisome period
of suspense, of memorable silence by the
government and keen expectation on the
part Of Italian people Is rapidly nearing
an end. Even Prince Won Buelow and
Baron Macchio. the two special pleaders
for the Teutonic cause, feel the ground
slipping from under their feet and admit
to intimates that hope is dwndlng fast
The worst fear may be realized in the
course of the coming week.
i am creditably assured that the Rus
sian foreign office and Italian official
see the way clearly to a mutually salts
factory settlement of the Asiatic prob-
lem. Although conversations between
Rome and Vienna have not been broken
off. nor the formal arrangements made
with the entente powers. the future at
titude of the Italian nation, forced upon
it by the stress of circumstances. is be-
coming clear to the dullest.
So detailed and comprehensive are
the political measures provided by
the government to put the country in
a condition to face every eventuality
that little doubt is entertained which
of the two alternatives it deems the
more proba BILE. Every one is con-
scious that the hour of fate has struck
and is convinced of the necessity of
allowing the government the fullest
CO Operate in working the destinies
Of the nation. If. as 1 am convinced
Italy's decision should favor interven-
ton on the side of the allies. we may
be sure the Germans and Austrians
will endeavor to create diversion
in favor of pacification and hold up
the Salandra cabinet to criticism.
l am equally certain that Salandra's
cabinet will obviate all such accusa-
tions by issuing an official statement
parlers. their object, vicissitudes and
the causes of ultimate failure.
1t is probable that the expose of the
cabinets labor for peace will explain
the four problems with which the out
break of war confronted the Italian ma
ton. viz: The absolute necessity of so
rectifying the present land and sea
frontiers as to render Italy's possession
strategically powerful. which they GER
tainly are not at present: the obligation
Of political changes imposed on the gov
eminent insuring 1taly's predominance
in the Adriatic: the paramount duty of
acquiring in the east field for future
economic enterprise commensurate with
Italy's rank as great Mediterranean
power. and lastly, the desirability of
achieving a clear and satisfactory settle
ment of her interests in Africa. which
were not adequately provided for by the
results of the Libia campaign.
Dispatches from Albania depict the
condition of things in Durazzo as des-
perate. The Austrian officers leading
the insurgents against the city possess
guns which render the attack extreme
" formidable.
