CAR STOPS 20 MINUTES

! The storms the last two days have
been very troublesome to the Keokuk
Electric company. The velocity of
the wind has been SO great at times
that large trees have been blown
down in some parts Of the city, while
in almost every block branches have
been torn from trees. OF course
some of these have lodged on cleo
trio wires, and the bother thus caus-
ed In the aggregate is considerable. Z
For some time yesterday. a gang
of men was out searching for a short
circuit on the company's transmits
sion line to Warsaw. About half
way between Hamilton and Warsaw
a tree was found that had blown
over, and some of the wet limbs
touched the wires. This made short
circuit, and considerable current was
lost whenever the wind blew the
branches close against the wire. Light
and power service was uninterrupted.
The short circuit was detected by
delicate instruments at the sub-sta-
ton which indicated trouble some-
where on the Warsaw line.
Car service on the Mckinley Ave
nue. Rand park line was interrupted
for twenty minutes yesterday morn
| ing when a large tree blew down
across the trolley wire. The wire
did not break but stretched under
! the weight and tore loose several
guy wires. The trouble wagon was
Immediately dispatched. The tree
was cut away and the damages to the
wire repaired.
A tree blew down near Ninth and
Fulton, short circuiting the transmits
sion line from the power house to
the company's sub station at Ninth
and Palean. Light and power serv-
ice was interrupted for few sec
onds. The duplicate transmission
| line. which comes in from the power
house, around through West Keokuk,
was put into service. The company
has the duplicate transmission lines
to use in cases of emergency, so
that IL one line Is broken, the other
can be put in use Immediately, and
| the service is uninterrupted.

When Numbers Count.


Council Bluffs Nonpareil: There
is an impression In this country that
the tide in the European war is turn
ing. The Russians are now advanc-
ing along front something over two
hundred miles In length.
This fact Is significant. Russia has
an unlimited number Of men. The
country has great resources. But In
the beginning these resources were
undeveloped and the men were I'M
traind. A sufficient time has now
elapsed to permit the organization of
resources and the training of men to
a point where the results are appre-
ciable. This explains the ability OF
the czar's forces to advance over a
wide stretch OF territory.
, The war so far in Europe has been
one OF numbers against efficiency. SO
far efficiency has had the advantage.
But now the numbers are also being
made efficient, and in time they will
prevail
There can be no permanent monopo-
ly Of efficiency in military science.
No army can acquire arms or tactics
which an opposing army will not In
time also acquire. The Russians have
learned their lessons and have profit
ed by their acquired knowledge. They
are now doing to their opponents just
what was done to them in earlier
stages of the war.
