Meter SERVICE
FOR TELEPHONES
IS next MOVE

Metered service for telephones was
predicted today by William M. Bailey,
manager of the Richmond Home Tele-
phone company. At telephone con-
vention in Chicago last week he saw
demonstrations of meter for measur-
ing the amount of current used for
each telephone.
This is coming. first in the larger
cities, and in a few years, to smaller
systems" said Mr.. Bailey. "A meter
is attached to each telephone and the
subscriber pays on basis OF the cleo
tricity he uses. 1t IS the most equit-
able system of charging"
Costs Not Figured in
Each telephone in service in Rich
nond represents an investment of
$149. Charges are made by simple
classifications. which do not take into
regard distance or the frequency of
the calls. Both figure in the cost Of
operation of the telephone.
"Cities are already coming to form
of metered service, although the meter
has not been perfected" said Mr..
Bailey. "It is called limited service.
Regular service may cost SO a month
and the limited service only 50, the
subscriber being limited to perhaps 40
calls month and agreeing to pay five
cents for additional calls"
Automatic systems for country lines
will be adopted here probably when
the system now being perfected is
complete in detail This also holds
true of automatic long distance tele-
phones by which calls will be made
with the switchboards of other cities
in two seconds for each station passed
through.
How Line Would Work
"The first number would get, say
Dayton, the second, Columbus, and the
third Cleveland, for example," Mr..
Bailey said. There would be no man.

MEXICAN CAMPAIGN

Gen. Gabriel Gavira, Carranza COM
mander of the northern border mill

field to exterminate the bandits oper-
ating along the border.
Messages congratulating him on the
stand taken in his note have been
received from the governors Of all
Mexican States by Gen. Carranza.
Mexican forces massed in strate-
gic positions, so as to menace the
1900 American troops in Gen. Perish
ing's command, number 10000 in Chi
huahua and 1900 in Sonora.
Although highly incensed with the
one of the Carranza note, and par
ticularly with it's suggestion that the
troops are being kept in Mexico for
political reasons, United States Off
Gals are inclined to the belief that
it was written largely for home con-
sumption.

General Carranza, which, while object
ing strongly to the continued presence
of American soldiers on Mexican soil,
was described as being "less thai an

Kitchener's Career.

Kitchener's glory was written indel-
IDLY in English history before the
present conflict broke out, but it is
doubtful if his campaigns in Egypt,
South Africa and India will entitle
him to higher ranking in history than
his accomplishment in organizing the
largest volunteer army the world has
ever seen in the greatest war of all
time. Taking England's unframed
manhood he has transformed and weld
ed it into a skilled fighting force of
5000, 900.
Herbert Horatio Kitchener was born
June 25, 1850, in County Kerry, Ire
land, a fact that gave rise to a general
belief that he was of Irish blood. but
his parents were of French and Eng
lish descent. He vas a bachelor.
His father was a soldier, but of 40
high rank.

ARE WITH WILSON
Voters Recognize Good Work of
Administration.
Politicians Who Are Predicting Demo-
cratic Defeat Are Not in Touch
With the Real Sentiments of
the People Of the Country.

eff the political prophets OF Wash
ington are right in their views, the
president has not a chance to be re-
elected, but the opinions expressed
here in the national capital are not
at all in harmony with the expressions
one hears in the cities and rural dis
tricts Of New England and other sec
TONS" said H. w. Quinlan, a Boston
business man, in an interview with a
representative of the Washington
Post. Since coming to Washington /
have talked with a number of per-
sons, including politicians on the Hill
and elsewhere, and / have got the
impression that the president will
surely be beaten in the election. But
UP In New England the people take a
directly opposite view. They believe
that Mr.. Wilson will be reelected be-
yond a question. In Boston there is
a very strong sentiment for the pres
ident, and l believe he will carry
Massachusetts.
When you come down to issues, the
Republicans have none that will appeal
strongly to the people. The tartn can
not be used effectively, for everybody
is at work who wants to work, and
When 1t comes to talking to the work
ingman about Democratic mismanage-
ment and Democratic free trade it will
not have any great influence. The
man with a job and a full dinner pail
doesn't care much about a tariff.
Furthermore, there is a well-defined
and settled conviction among the peo-
pie, particularly among those of the
rural districts, that President Wilson
has kept the nation out of war, and
they are grateful to him for that.
Down here, however, the politicians
are predicting with much gravity that
the Republicans are sure to win, and
that the president is fast losing what.
ever hold he had on the voters" but
there is no reason in their attitude.

Credits Kansas to Wilson.

MY sincere conviction is that Kan
a will cast it's electoral vote for
Woodrow Wilson," remarked M. H.
Mulroy of Hays, Kan, in an interview
with a representative of the Washing
ton Star. Mr.. Mulroy is a Democratic
leader in his section of the state, hav-
ing served several terms in the Kan
a legislature.
The people of Kansas" he contin-
ued, have profound confidence in the
ability and patriotism of the president.
His policies have met with most favor
able and cordial recognition, and
knowing what he has done to promote
the welfare of the great mass of
American citizens they are intent on
giving him another term in the White
House. At the present time six OF
the seven representatives in congress
from u state are Democrats, and it
does not appear that there is any dan
ger of the loss of any one of these dis
%tricts, in spite of the fact that several
of them are fairly close"

Export Figures for February.

American exports for February
reached a total of $409, 6,525, accord
ing to an announcement by the bureau
of foreign and domestic of
the department of commerce. This is
the highest point ever reached by the
export trade of this countryand exceeds
the high mark for December, 1915, by
$4,000, 000. 1t exceeds the total for
January by $4,000, 900. The decline
in January had been taken in some
quarters to mean that the record fig
ure for December had marked the
high tide in the flow of American ex-
ports. The total exports for the first
eight months of the fiscal year 1916
are 1885, 01 $50, and it now seems
probable that the exports for the
whole fiscal year will reach $4,0 600, O0O,-
900.

on Board
ON MISSION TO RUSSIA
England Staggered by Death Of Hero
of khartoum-Vessel Was Mine
Victim, Naval Officers Believe
Raised Huge Armies.

London.-Bound for Russia on an
important military errand, Earl Kitch-
ener, the British War Secretary, and
his staff were lsot off the West Orkney
Islands by the sinking OF the cruiser
Hampshire.
Whether the warship struck a mine
or was %torpedoed by a submarine is
not known, according to Admiral Sir
John Jellicoe, Commander in Chief of
the Grand Fleet, whose brief official
report to the Admiralty gives the only
published facts about the catastrophe
which by its ~suddenness has stunned
the entire people of Great Britain.
The Hampshire went down about 8
o'clock p. M, according to Jellicoe.
-Four boats were seen to leave the
vessel, but a heavy sea was running
and the Admiral thinks the chance of
any on board having been saved is
small. Only a capsized boat and a
few bodies have been picked up.
Earl Kitchener was going to Russia
at the request of the Russian Govern
ment. He intended to land at Arch
of5NA oAu fAolI lduJ anu pIOD"
ably go to the Russian front. His mis-
sion had chiefly to do with the supply
of munitions for Russia, but an off
cial statement issued said that he was
to have discussed important military
and financial questions with Empe =.
Nicholas. The Earl expected to "
back in London for the reopening of
Parliament on June 20.
Accompanying Earl Kitchener as his
staff were Hugh James O'Beirne, for
mer counsellor of the British Embassy
at Petrograd; o. A. Fitzgerald, Kitch-
ener's private military secretary; Brig.
Gen. E~llershaw, and Sir Frederick
Donaldson. Several minor army Off
GERS were also on the Hampshire.
News a Shock to the Public.
The circumstances under which the
news of the loss of the Hampshire
with Earl Kitchener came out did not
soften the blow to the public, to whom
it was a profound shock, even greater
than that which was sustained when
the newspapers gave the Admiralty
statement of the British losses in the
North Sea fight, with virtually no in
timation that there was any compen-
sation in the way of German losses.
