Paints Ugly Wounds in Somme
 Fields With White Brush

With the British Army in France via London, Jan. 14.-This has been one of the strangest days in the strange world war. It has been a wonderfully white day a day of snow, while fog. white fields and strange white trees glistening in magical mantles of clear white frost. Even the brown, gripping, remorseless mud of the Somme. the mud that has been almost the master of the war for these past two months. has hid den it's treacherous depth, for the time at least, beneath the sofe f1eecy flakes that came during the night to spread a Sabbath vestment of purity over the wretched, squalid and som- bre battlegrounds of northern France.
 In most of the front line trenches there was the mystic quiet that comes with snow. No Mans Land has been lifted fir the moment out of it's ab- ject state of melancholic desolation and placed on a picturesuuely white equality with the untrammeled lands that lie without the fighting zones. The torturous barriers of barbed wire in front of the enemy positions had been transferred to tangled and graceful strands of crystal ice and clinging snow.
 The war that stretches out over the years is a war that necessarily resolves itself into 8 routine of much the same thing over and over again. Today, however, in all it's whiteness, it seemed just a wee bit different.

SUFFERS WRATHY
 AT SAFETY BOARD
BabCoCk and Steele Avoid Meeting
 on Wage Schedule

Representing the supernumerary partment, a committee comprised of Ira B. Pierson. chairman; William Souney, Edward B. kerin, Daniel Cosgrove and Wallace Richardson will seek a conference with the safe ty board to discuss the existing wage scale. There was an attendance of twenty-five at the meeting yesterday afternoon in the police court room at headquarters while fifteen did not re- spond to their names. Chairman Ed ward G. Babcock and Commissioners Howard M Steele, who were expected to attend to learn the views of the pe- titioners, did not appear. As a re- suit it was decided, after a lengthy discussion, that the only procedure now is to ask for a hearing. Tentative plans are to have the hearing tOmor- row night.
 Frederick Friend was chairman at the meeting and Leo Fortier acted as clerk. The session was conducted along parliamentary lines with roll call and other details. There was free denunciation of the present scale and the alleged conduct of the safety board in ignoring the supernumerar- ieS' demands. Some of those speaking waXed wrathy in their review of the safety boards alleged negligence, their voices being easily heard at the booking desk on floor below There was much opposition to the procedure which calls for the payment of fifty cents to the city for hall work paying $2.50. Opposition also was manifest ed to the plan of keeping the same supernumeraries on theater duty the year around instead of giving all the men a chance. A number of the men considered that there should be a
 more even division of street assign
 ments. Rumors are current today that a number of the best known members of the supernumerary force threatened to resign, if conditions arc not soon remedied.

HOUSE ON FIRE TWICE
Supernumerary Policeman Saves
 Home From Being Burned.

Timely discovery by Supernumer- ary Policeman Patrick McAvay pre- vented two serious fires at the home of John w. Hickey of 451 West Main street yesterday. As he was passing the house at about yesterday morn ing he noted a blaze in the house, awakened the members or the fam fly and extinguished burning bed clothing, apparently ignited from cigar or cigarette.
 About 3:30, as he again passed the house, Supernumerary McAvay noted smoke issuing from the hallway of the same house, investigated and found that one of the quilts thrown out at the previous fire had burst into flames. It was again given atten- ton and Policeman McAvay was sure there were no smouldering sparks be- fore he left. Detective Sergeant Sam uel M. Bamforth made an invest1ga- tion later. Every indication was that the fire was caused by someone smok- ing in bed.

into office. The total receipts for the past year amounted to $1S1, 1,652.31, in comparison with $153,466.06 in 1915. The gain is believed to be one of the best in the state considering the size of the city.
 While the wonderful increase does not secure for Postmaster Delaney the added honorium of $1O0 8 year, it is believed that if the progress made during the past twelve months, con- tinues the required s200,O00 goal will be attained this year.
 The year 1916 in post office circles has been of worthy note from various standpoints. When the postmaster as- sumed charge, he immediately detect ed the need of various changes and improvements and opened negotia- tions with the post office department in Washington, D. C., for them. The installation. of a parcel post chute, extra clerks and carriers, all night service besides the revision of routes whereby the service would be more adequate were some of his accom- plishmnts. The banner month in the history of office was attained last De- cember. when s19,413.S4 entered the coffers of Uncle Sam. From all parts

For continuous suspense and per-
