 Pacific T. G T. Strike
 SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 1-Seattle reported that the city was struggling along tonight with badly crippled tel ephone service resulting from the strike there of operators and electrical workers At Portland, Spokane and other northwest cities where walkouts took place last night. reports indicated that sufficient number of employees remained on duty to assure service.
 Werner E. Reed, federal mediator who has been trying here for two days to adjust differences between the Pa cific Telephone & Telegraph company and the employees announced tonight that he has asked the company to rec ognize at least temporarily the women operators union and to make wage concessions to the electrical workers pending a definite settlement. Com
  Reeds proposal would be considered tomorrow.
 Telegrams urging immediate return to work of striking electrical workers and telephone operators of the Pacific Telephone x Telegraph company, were sent to local unions involved in Wash ington and Oregon by MT. Reed He intimated that the company was | responsible for the apparent deadlock 1 in the negotiations in the following statement:
 "It the company would meet with 1 the mediators in the same spirit dis i played by the conservative represent ] atives of the employees, the strike | would end.
 1 He asserted that unless the present difficulty which has resulted in par 1 tial paralysis of service in Pacific northwest states is settled speedily, he will request Secretary of Labor | Wilson for plenary powers"
 This was taken to indicate that MT i Reed considered the situation serious enough to warrant operation of the company's property in the affected | areas under government supervision
 Mir. Reed explained that the com { pany's main contention in refusing tC recognize the girls unions, which pre- cipitated the strike, was that the gov ernment had promised that during the year there would be no federal in reference, through commissions ol other agencies, with "existing stand ards," in such situations as the pres ent controversy. The electrical work CTS are seeking an advance in pay.

An automobile market comparable with horse and mule markets of bygone days will be established by McArthur Brothers on the lot at the corner of Central and Jefferson street, and will open Saturday morning The ground has been leveled and rolled by the Southwest ern Contracting company and is just like a floor. making an ideal open air demonstrating ground on which used cars will be put through their paces for prospective buyers.
 feature Saturday that will be very interesting and attract much attention is a Dodge Brothers motor car running around in a circle without any, driver. Give them gas and a Dodge does not need any at tention, said L. C. James, under whose supervision the Used Car Mart will present many surprises.
 Another feature that will draw many to the mart is a place set aside for ranchers to trade among themselves Jim Jones may have a blow that he does not need, while Bill Smith needs that very blow, so Bill brings in something and swaps with Jim, and so every Saturday McArthur Brothers invite the ranch CTS to bring in the things they don't need and swap" to their hearts content at the mart.

Starting from Bordeaux, the line would make circuit around the mountainous region of central France 10 reach Lyons. whence it would take a southeastery direction, passing through new tunnel under the Alps to reach Milon. Venice. Trieste, Agram, Belgrade. Bucharest and Odessa would be the other principal stations on this route.
 These routes, their advocates argue, would be important factors in tho future economic struggle.
 Stories reach Paris of the training in Germany of thousands of clerks interpreters and commercial repre- sentatives for the commercial in vasions of Russia. One hunderd thou sand Russian prisoners of war, it is said are also being initiated in Ger man business and industrial methods, while at the same time learning the language This organization with a view to competition for Russian busi- ness, added to the natural advantage of proximity that the Germans en- joy, is presented as another argument why western Europe can no longer allow them to monopolize the trans continental traffic.
 When the southern and northern routes are completed, the gap of five hundred miles between the Russian and Anglo Indian rails may be filled, and then with the tunnel under the English channel completed, one would be able to take the train at London and go through by rail to Bombay and Calcutta. Engineers are now studying another route from Ir1utsk on the Trans Siberian route to Can ton aross the whole of China
 Important mail matter soon may 1 be carried in much shorter time. The central empires are understood to be working toward the establishment ot regular aerial communication with their allies. and the same subject has been under discussion in France and England. It is considered here as certain that letters soon will be car 1 ried through the air. Enterprising newspapers may also adopt this method for the rapid transportation | of late editions.

NEW ROUTES ARE
 PLANNED WHICH
 LEAVE GERMANY OUT

PARIS, Dec. 1.-Two new trans nortation routes across Europe have been proposed in order to break the monopoly which Germany and Aus trla- Hungary have established of the traffic between western Europe and Russia. Until 1914, travellers from London Paris. Geneva and Milan. if hound for Petrograd, were obliged to go either by way of Berlin or Vienna. The two new routes now under con sideration are intended to enable travellers to cross the continent of Europe without passing through the .icrman or Austro-I Hungarian cap itals.
 What is called the northern route" is projected Co connect London with PetrOgrad by way Of Sweden; through trains tO be ferried from Newcastle across the North Sea to Gothenburg, to proceed over Swedish rails to the neighhorhood of Stockholm. 10 be fer ried again across the Gulf of Bothnia connecting with Finland lines that would make Petrograd accessible.
 The proposed southern route would follow as nearly as possible Inc forty-fifth degree of latitude.

 COOPERATION
 FUR NEW PLAN

Active cooperation is the plan of Governor Campbell to save from de- struction the liquor confiscated from bootleggers that the alcohol it contains may be conserved for Use of the Red Cross or the government in army hos pitals has been promised by three su perior court judges of Arizona.
 Letters outlining the plan were mailed by the governor to each one of the fifteen superior court judges in the state. Answers have been received thus far from Judge Frank Baxter of the Yuma county superior court, Judge Sidney Sapp of the Navajo county su- perior court, and from Judge R. C. Stanford of the Maricopa county su- perior court.
 Each of these three judges has re- piled that he is in hearty accord with the plan to save the confiscated liquor that it may be redistilled and the alco- hol thus conserved for use in army hospitals. Judge Baxter already has issued an order instructing that no more confiscated liquor in that county shall be destroyed, but shall be held for further orders. Following is his letter:
