II TO "a

In New England some steps have
already been taken by the State Fuel
Administrators and city authorities to
eliminate the electric signs. In sos-
ton the electric signs advertising the
city have been discontinued and the
Boston Edison Company has shut off
the current on the lights of its build
ings. In Providence something has
also been done in this directions In
Rochester the Chamber of Commerce
some time ago discontinued the cleo
trio signs at the entrance to the city,
and the Eastman Kodak Company
has done away with the illumination
of its buildings.
An educational campaign is need
ed to urge people to conserve both
gas and electricity. according to the
Empire State Gas and Electric Assoc
clatfon, which has already made sug-
gestions along these lines. Better in
stallation of apparatus in industrial
plants, the replacing Of old-style car
bon lamps with the current-saving
tungstens, better arrangement of
street lights, particularly in small ci-
ties and towns, replacing the old
cpen-flame gas burners with Wells
bachs, and the distribution of cards
in the households calling attention to
the necessity of saving gas and cleo
tricity are among the methods add
vised.

action continued for two hours till
dawn, when 1t degenerated into cas-
ual sniping. The nearest Turkish
dead were found within fifty yards
of the cavalry trenches.
"Soon after daybreak the infantry
column took up the attack again,
and carried the last outlying de-
fences of the Turks on our left. An
intense bombardment was opened on
the Turkish trenches.
"Our line of cavalry, far away west,
soon saw the dark masses OF the enc
my approaching and apparently pre-
pared for bloody battle. The
Turkish guns were silent, and white
flags went up all along the line. It
was a general surrender. Ahmed
Bey, the Turkish commander, who
has been on the Euphrates al
through the campaign from the Bat
tie of Shaiba, in March, 1915. and
whose troops confronted us at Nasa-
ravah all last summer and autumn,

SURROUND TURKS

WAR FORMATION
General Maude's Victory at
Ramadie Described BY
Official Witness

: London, Nov. General Maude's
victory at Ramadie in Mesopotamia
was the result Of battle Of the old
picturesque style. before the war Of
inaction' swept the spectacular ele-
ment out Of modern warfare.
The movement which determined
the whole action was the sudden
swinging around Of the British right
until 1t became the left, and the en-
circling movement of the cavalry.
which robbed the Turkish garrison of
its last free line of retreat. The
idea was admirably executed but even
the staff strategists of the British
army scarcely anticipated the sur
render of the whole Turkish force
without blow by the waiting cav
airy.
The British "eye-witness,'' writing
from Ramadie, says in his account
of the battle:
I'VE captured Ramadie today, and
with it the whole Turkish garrison,
including it's commander, Ahmed Bey,
and number of field guns, POM
poms. machine guns and rifles
"Our force moved In two columns
on the night Of September 27 from
an advanced camp on the Euphrates,
west of Feluja, one column on the
right, the other on the left, and at
dawn they attacked Mushaid Ridge,
low line of dunes running north
and south from the Euphrates to the
Habbaniyah Canal.
ITO clear the ridge and cross the
canal was our first objective. The
first knobs were Quickly~occupied. At
dawn we bombarded the main crest of
the ridge, but the Turks had evac-
uated it
I'VE then changed our line OF at
tack The right column was with
drawn, and swinging round west be-
hind the left column became the left
wing of the force. Our front, three
and half miles in breadth, row lay
between the Habbaniyah Canal on the
right and Aziziyah Canal on the left,
at a point nine miles from the Eu-
pirates.
Our cavalry made a wide sweep
ing movement across the desert
round the right flank Of the Turks
and occupied a line five miles west
Of Ramadia- BY this move the
Turks were cornered. Their only
chance was to drive in determined
counter-attacks and to break through
before we drew the ring In closer
The expected attack began after
o'clock the next morning when the
Turks tried to break through be-
tween the cavalry and the river. The

BROADWAY Wants To KEEP BRIGHT
LIGHTS AND is NOT SURE CILDEO
WAY SHOULD BE PLUNGED IN DARK

New York, Nov. 2.-Broadway, or
rather part of it which is concerned
with electric advertising signs, is not,
yet convinced that the lights of the
White Way from 34th Street to 50th
Street should be dimmed in Difference
to the demand for fuel conservation.
BroadWay's argument is that it's
lights attract thousands of out-of-
town visitors every night in the year;
that these visitors scatter many dol
lars along the shops and resorts Of
the thoroughfare, and that it would
be measure of false economy to
"douse" the lights, which, according
to the view of men connected with
power companies, consume but a.
small amount OF current, compare
lively speaking.
Representatives OF the Broadway
Association met members of the Fuel
A administration in conference in
Washington on Monday. Public util-
tiles and advertising men were also
present. No decision has yet been
announced by the Fuel Administra-
tor, nor is one expected for some
time. A proposal to turn on the lights
in electric signs at 8 p. M, instead of
4:30, was one Of the suggestions
factories close and the subway rush
is over at that hour, and the Icurrent
could then well be used in the sign
lighting:
John W. Lieb, chairman of the gas
and electric service committee of the
Council of National Defence and sn
officer of the New York Edison -
pany, said today that there were two
sides to the question Of doing away
with electric display signs for the pc
Rod of the war, and he believed that
the problem should be faced in a ma
tional sense. If it were desirable in
the public interest to eliminate even
the appearance of waste or extrava-
gance. he felt certain that every pow
er and lighting company in the com
try would cooperate willingly toward
this end.
1.-THE opinion of some people that
these display signs Of various kinds
represent, through the electrical en-
orgy, the consumption Of a very large
amount of coal, is quite without foun-
datfon," said Mr.. Lieb. 1.-THE actual
saving in coal consumption in the
larger cities would probably be less
than one-half of one per cert. or
applied to all electric companies
LII ooSAoue eAo CouillAy' Ihe toIdi saw
ing would probably be less than one
tenth Of one per cent. of the coal they
consume. The reason for this rela-
lively small consumption and small
consequent saving is that tungsten
llsmps of the very smallest sizes are
used in such signs, consuming only
| Z IL to 10 watts each, or approxi-
mately 100 to 100 lamps to the kilo-
watt.

therefore, that coal is being consumed
wastefully and money expended un-
necessarily to far greater extent
tran is actually the case. The coal
consumed by the electric-power COM
panies is usually soft coal. not gencr-
ally used in the homes of the people.
The smaller electric sign on the front
of the individual store is an appeal
ing form of advertising attraction to
the small merchant, who finds 1t i'm
practicable to use other meth DDS Of
drawing patronage. To shut off this
type of sign lighting would be seri-
Gus disadvantage to small mer-
chants
That the White-Way lighting con-
stitutes a welcome diversion to the
volunteer or recruit awaiting his call
for military service should also be
considered. according to Mr.. Lieb,
who added:
''It has been the experience abroad
that cheerful surroundings and a GER
tain amount Of gayety have a very ia
Torab1e effect on the convalescence f
wounded soldiers, while gloomy sur
roundings have a depressing ana un-
favorable effect. For this reason our
Allies, while prohibiting street illu-

necessary to maintain theatres, NOV
ing picture shows, and other forms of
entertainment to help cheer up the
soldier on leave of absence
"It would apear, therefore, that the
situation is one of psychology rather
than of economy, one of impression
than Of actual important waste. It n
important that the public should ap-
preciate how small would be the ac-
tual saving of coal If the display
lighting were to be discontinued. and
on the whole It is believed that the
public would probably prefer to
maintain the cheer and brightness. OF
the lights in view of the relatively
small saving that could be realized"
Just where the immediate loss
would fall, if the display signs were
eliminated, is a matter Of discussion
among those interested In the signs
The general public, the manufacture
er, the power companies, and the real
estate people would all come III for
their share. It is generally conceded
that the electric sign companies
would be compelled to close their
doors temporarily.
In order to do away with the sigr
lighting it would probably be neces.
sary to act under an order from the
Public Service Commission. In order
to provide adequate defence for the
utility company fr.. the cancellation
of the contract which the Consumer
holds with the company, according tc
Mr.. Lieb. That, the initiative should
| be taken by Harry A. Garfield, Ma.
tional Fuel Administrator making II
at once a national law is the genera
opinion.

READING MATTER
FOR SERVICE MEN

A campaign to secure desirable
reading matter for the service men
stationed here, and those serving
overseas will be iaugurated tomorrow
by the Library Subcommittee of the
Army ad Navy Life Activities Com
mittee of Pensacola. All wishing to
give books and magazines should
phone the headquarters in the Cham
ber of Commerce, phone 128, or call
personally.
An effort will be made to collect
in Pensacola desirable reading mat
ter; magazines not older than Jan,
1917, books, fiction, history, or any
other branch of literature. The
books collected in Pensacola will be
used first to supply Fort Picken5,
Barrancas, and the aeronautic sta
ton. After this is done the remain
ing books will be shipped to canton
ments in this country and 70 the
oversee forces. Whatever is giver
now, can be used throughout the
war.
The campaign will be under the 0i-
rection of the LiDy1ry Committee
which is composed of Rix NJ. Robin

PLAN FOR MOVING
MORE THAN MILLION
|. GUARDSMEN SOON

Plans for the greatest troop move
ment in the history of the United
States are now being perfected, and
a total of 1,037,000 men are to be
thus transported. The American Rail-
way Association is now preparing
schedules to insure safe and prompt
carrying of the armies, and details Of
the government in this respect are
thus reported in the Official Bulletin:
To Move Big Army.
Fairfax Harrison. chairman of the
railroads war board, authorizes the
following:
Plans for the largest troop move
rent ever scheduled in the history of
this country are now being perfected
by the American Railway Association
at the request of the United States
government. Altogether, $1,000
men will have to be transported to
the various cantonments that the
government is building to house the
new national army. The movement
will start September 5. Between
that date and September 9 the rail-
roads will complete the entrainment
of 100000 men, or approximately 80
per cent. of the total number sched-
uled to be moved to the various train
ing camps.
Second Movement September 19.
It is expected that a second move
ment of approximately 100000 men
will begin on September 10, continu-
ing for four days thereafter, and a
third movement of the same size on
October 3.
Some conception of the magnitude
of the task confronting the Ameri-
can Railroad Association in preparing
schedules that will assure the safe
and prompt transportation Of these
armies without interfering with regu'
lar traffic may be cleaned from the
! fact that to move merely one fielc
army of $4,000 men REQUIRES 6.22e
cars made up into 500 trains, with as
many locomotives and trains crews,
Meanwhile, in addition to moving
the 687 900 recruits for the natiOna
army, the railroads have been asked
, to supply transportation for the
! 35O,OO0 members of the Nationa
Guard to their training camps. Thi'
National Guard movement has al
ready started and will continue in in
creasing volume until all have beel
moved.
