LONDON, Nov. Am Exchange
Telegraph dispatch from Copenhagen
says Norway has presented note to
Germany in connection with the sink.
ing OF the Norwegian steamships in

was attacked by German cruisers in

CLAN steamships in the Polar seas. Ger.
many was notified that the Norwe gian
people would consider any new case
of the kind violation of the laws OF
humanity.
The Norwegian minister at Berlin

foreign affairs the note. which says

were several Norwegian ships. with.
out taking any steps either to attempt
to save the crews or give them time to

part of German ships was the cause of
n great number of Norwegian sailors
being killed or wounded by shelf FIRE
or losing their lives by drowning.

said, already have attracted hundreds

TELEPHONE SHORTAGE
 FACES UNITED STATES
Officials Say Manufacturers Will Be Unable to Supply
 the Demand.

The United States will plobably face a shortage of about 100000 tele- phone instruments this year. accord ing to officials of the American Tele- phone and Telegraph company. lt is estimated that during the year there will be a gain of 75O.00O telephones in this country, and the factories now making instruments can only turn out about 550.000 annually.
 George E. Kellogg. local manager of the Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph company said yesterday that the situation was becoming more acute every day.
 The scarcity of material used in making telephone instruments and the fact that many factories that formerly manufactured them are now turning out munitions and supplies for the warning countries is working hardship on the telephone compa- nies of the country" said Kellogg. All telephone offices and exchanges on our system are economiZing in the use of instruments as much as pos sible. Every telephone that can be spared in the offices is being taken out in order that our patrons be sup piled. The company is working hard to find a solution of the problem and it is to be hoped that some means of turning out more instruments will be found before the situation becomes too critical"

ID TURN COCHISE RESIDENT
 OVER TO OFFICERS
Gov. Campbell Turns Down Request That Extradition Papers Be Issued for Man Wanted in Wyoming.

Governor Tom Campbell has turned down the request of Cheyenne offic- CTS that he issue extraditiOn papers for William II Frazee. whom the Wy oming officials claim is wanted in that state on an old charge. Frazee came tO Cochise county about four years ago. it is said. and secured work on the Hood ranch in Sulnhnr Springs valley. In his new position Frazee gained the friendship and Ie- spect of everyone with whom he came in contact. Two years ago Cheyenne officers asked Governor Hunt to issue extradition papers for Frazec in or der that they might prosecute hi'' on the old charge. This was denied
 Soon after the supreme court plac- ed MT. Camnbell in the governors chair. the Wyoming officials again at- tempted to have him turned over to them. Governor Campbell investisat- ed the case and found that Frazee's life in Cochise had been straight and that he was as respected and trusted as any man in tbe county. The gover- nor then turned down the Wyoming officers. expressing the belief that 10 turn Frazee over 10 them on the old charge would be little short of perse- cution. The fact that a reward was offered for his arrest. on the ancient charge. is believed to be the motive that is impelling the Cheyenne ofric- CTS in their endeavor to eXtradite FraZee.

DREAM OF THROUGH SLEEPER TO PHOENIX
 TO COME TRUE SOON
Movement Started by Douglas and Bisbee Organizations Is Recognized by the State Corporation Commission.

The state corporation commission will probably issue an order within the next two weeks for a sleeper on the night trains between Douglas and Phoenix, as the result of a vigorous campaign conducted by the Warren District Commercial Club. the Doug las Chamber of Commerce and other organizations. This information was contained in a letter from the cOrpOr- ation commission read at the meet ing of the board of directors of the commercial club Wednesday evening.
 About two weeks ago Dr. BledsOe. representing the club. presented to the commission a number of petitions signed by scores of travelling men. urging that an order for sleeper be issued. The petitions were circulated in this vicinity by Secretary Billy Delbridge of the club, who has been one of the most active workers on the plan.
 The commercial club directors rec commended to the board of supervis- ors, at the meeting Wednesday night. that the road between Don Luis and
  once. Travel over this road is unus ually heavy, and the highway ls said to be in bad shape. The board of di- rectors also recommended that the Double Adobe road. between the rail road and Forrest Station. be worked over. This action was taken at the request of Sulphur Springs valley ranchers. who presented petition urging the improvement work.
 The proposed paving of Subway Al. ley was also taken up and the follow ing property owners appointed mem bers of a committee to confer with the city council on the matter: Chas Mcdonald, Sam Frankenburg and George Heneger.
 Secretary Delbridge was instructed to write an article on various trips out of Bisbee for publication in Motor Age. The magazine has requested such an article. to be accompanied by an illustrated map. The map will be prepared by City Engineer McNeish.
