NEW VOTE FOR
MILLION MEN
MADE IN HOUSE
Is Made by Premier Asquith
Who Makes a Survey of the
Theater of War.
tsv Assoe,A-ss rsrss,

LONDON. Dec. 21.--Moving in the
House OF Commons Tuesday a new
vote for an additional million men.
Premier Asquith made general sur
vcy Of the overwhelming theater OF
war and the increasing responsibility
placed on this country for providing
arms and men.
Great Britain. he said, already has
a fighting force in the various thea
ters of 1.250,000 men, and as the
wastage is enormous the country
must aim at getting every man of mil
itary age. who is physically quail
fed.
Referring to operations on the
Franco Belgian front. the premier
complimented Field Marshal French
and his successor in command, Sir
Douglas Haig. He continued:
"a fortnight ago a most important
military conference was held in Paris
attended by representatives OF the
STATS Of France. Russia. Italy and
the United Kingdom. The Leading
strategical problems were fully dis
cussed and certain extremely impor-
tant conclusions reached with abso--
lutte unanimity." Il

ITALIAN OCCUPATION is
LIKELY TO BE F0REsTALLE
tsY Assoe,Arsp rssss

LONDON, Dec. 21-The Albanian
port OF Durazzo is said to be tho
latest objective Of the Teutonic-Bul-
garian campaign in the Balkans.
Strong forces are believed TO be
marching across Albania in an effort
to forestell italian occupation of the
coast.
In the meantime there Is no indica-
ton Of the development by the CEN
trail powers of an offensive against
the Allies in Macedonia On the con-
trary. II is reported, the Bulgarians
are entrenching themselves along the
Serbo-Greek border.
The first concrete evidence OF fric-
ton between Greeks and Bulgarians
comes from Epirus. where Bulgarian
bands and Greek forces. according to
press dispatches, have come in con-
fiict.
II an offensive movement towards
Saionik Is undertaken 1t Is hardly
likely Greece will interfere as it
must grant the same facilities to the
central powers as It accorded
the Entente Allies, II the. present
policy Of neutrality prevails. While
the Germans, Austrians. Bulgarians
and Turks are concentrating troops
along the front of Greece's Macedon-
ian border, the Allies are ceaselessiy
debarklng men and munitions at Sa-
loniki. Several months will be nee
essary. however. before they can hope
to undertake an offensive movement
on a scale which could possibly sue
iced.
Paris reports Germany is prepar-
ing two gigantic strokes. one against
Calais. and the other toward Egypt,
in the hope Of ending the war by
smashing blows at these vital. strate-
gis points. German guns are busy
along the western front, but no fur
an offensive there. In an effort to
prevent British aerial reconnaissance,
according to British official report,
the Germans sent up squadrons Of ae-
roplanes resulting in torty-four con-
flcts In the air with the loss Of two
aeroplanes by the Germans and one
by the British.
Along the French front an inces-
SAINT fire against the Germans Ia be-
ing kept up.
The British public is awaiting with
intense interest details of tho with
drawal of the army from the Sulva
bay and Ancas districts of Gallipoli
peninsula. Newspaper comment shows
mingled feeling of regret and relief.
This feeling Of relief reflects the atti-
tude OF the British public towards the
whole near eastern venture and con-
ndenceis increasing here that the for
tunes Of the Allies in this region hav-
to rise.

To Which Progressive Condi-
ton Traction Company
Contributes Much.

Monongahela Valley Traction
Company conductors and motormen
concluded their meeting here Mon
day with night session, attended
by about seventy employees and Ola
Gals OF the company. at which adj
dresses were made by j. o. Watson,
president: and others. A letter
from Smith Hood. OF Fairmont, gem
eral superintendent. was read.
In connection with the meeting 1t
is appropriate that public attention
be called to the splendid cooperation
prevailing among the industries Of
the upper Monongahela valley, to
which the traction comany has con-
tributed and is contributing no small
part. a typical example Of this CO.
operation is seen in the announce
ment made by w. j. Flaherty. super
intendent OF the traction company
that the traction company had placed
an order for a $4,000 gas engine.
which Ia to be installed at the Hutch
inson power plant OF the company.
and which will be used to aid the
Clarksburg Gas and Electric Com
pany or other like industry in this
section at any time 1t may need such
assistance.
In the course Of his address Mon
day night, MI. Flaherty made mem
ton of the existing cooperation. and
recalled the time about twelve
months ago when the traction COM
pany was practically dependent upon
the Clarksburg Gas and Electric
Company for power with which to
operate its cars. At that time the
traction company was constructing
its Hutchinson plant. which is now
in operation. For the last few weeks.
Mr.. Flaherty said. this plant had
been giving material assistance to
the gas and electric company. and
with the installation of the new gas
engine would be able to increase the
power furnished to the light COM
pany.
The new engine, which was pur-
chased from the Bethlehem Steel
Company, is to be delivered April l.,
and it will be installed Immediately.
Mr.. Flaherty in his address asked
the motormen wherever possible
when travelling behind a vehicle to
make the driver indicate by turn
ing his head that he knows the car
Is following. This is to be done by
ringing the gong. He also request
ed conductors to try to educate pas
sengers when wishing to board car
wherever the stop Is on the near side
of the street to stand at car length
from the corner. His plea with car
crews was to adopt Safety Always"
in operation OF the cars.
Mr.. Fleherty said: you know
Clarksburg is now considered the
best town in the state, from a busi-
ness standpoint. This probably is
