CITY IN DARKNESS
High Voltage Wire Breaks LAsl
Night

High Voltage Wire Breaks Last
Night
AT about 1880 last night this city
shroaded In darkness for about
a quarter Of an hour n many anx-
ious Inquiries we're made as to the
cause of IL. The darkness was due
to a short circuit caused by the fall
ing of a grounded high cottage wire
In the northern part OF the city.
Patrolman Gunkei discovered the
wire which was splitting fire and
alarming the people in the imme-
date neighborhood- He sent word
to the Public Service station. men
were dispatched at once and the
trouble was settled in about twenty
minutes.
The Board Of Aldermen have been
looking into the matter of these high
voltage wires n were to have them
placed In a position that would be
ess dangerous to the people of the
community and action will probably
ae taken at their next meeting in re-
gard to this matter.

the injured are as follows:
Tony Faley of 81 Lexington avenue
who was struck this morning at GAO
as he was riding a bicycle past Clinton
avenue on Fairfield avenue, by a. ma
chine driven by Alfred J. iMcDer-
mott of 80 Fremont street. He was
treated at the emergency hospital and
then returned home. In the second Of
the series, which happened just ten
minutes later, Tony Cicerola Of II
Hewitt street, stepped off a trolley go.
ing east on Boston avenue near Orch
ard street, ran in back of the trolley

ALAsKA'S MOSQUITOES
BLIND BIG BEARS

Alaska scenery is not scenery-it's
natures coup d'etat.
Here glaciers as tall as the dome of
the capitol at Washington CLEAN like
meadows of glass. And now and
again, when a berg is born, great
sheets of water seem to splash the
very sky and angry waves toss the
baby glacier about as if it were a
cork in basin of water.
Alaska's mountains out-Alp the
Alps. A mountain under 10000 feet
is ignored as mere foothill.<
Alaska's trees out-giant California;
mammoth specimens. Here a canoe
capable of carrying 60 warriors has
been made by the Indians from the
trunk Of a single poplar tree.
And Alaska's mosquitoes out-Jersey
Jerseys fiercest. 1t is said that moth
ing short of a coat of tar and lard
will discourage these man-eating ami
mails. Ordinary tungents prove to be
nothing more than appetizing sauces.
To kill a mosquito is mistaken
judgment-so many relatives gather
for the funeral. Huge, apparently
self-reliant bears have been so badly
stung about the eyes that they have
become blind and unable to find food
murdered by these tiny pests.

alone the Germans took 5000 bottles
of champagne, 10000 quarts of red
wines in bottles and drained 80 enor-
nous casks each containing more than
5000 quarts of various kinds of wine.
The advance guard of the Germans
helped themselves literally to the
shipped back to Germany as loot of
the German army.
Civilians Retain Jewels
None of the civilians of Thiacourt
was ever searched for valuables and
owing to this fact all of those who
remained in Thiacourt when the
Americans entered the village still
had jewelry and other articles of gold
and silver. Many of the women had
saWed material over the French gold
piecessand wore them upon their outer
cDothing as buttons
Many of the keepsakes and pieces
of jeWelry and French gold coins
were offered to the Americans by the
villagers as souvenirs, but the Ameri-
cans refused to accept them.
Church and Plants Robbed.
The villagers said that two years
ago the Germans stripped the church
es of Thiaucourt of their bells and
even took the metal of the pipe Or
| gans, all of which was shipped tC
| Germany to be turned into materia
| for war. The electric light plant like
| wise was dismantled of its machin.

was sent back as fast as it could bt

GREEK GIRLS ARE
HELPING TO WIN

Greek girls in the uniforms of
American Red Cross nurses are now
serving in the hospitals of Greece.
These girls are part of a number from
New England who, anxious to help
their fellow countrymen, decided to
become nursing aids. They enrolled
in training courses in the Massachu-
sets General hospital, and other Bos-
ton hospitals, where they soon be-
came proficient in their work. Re
Gently four of them, who had prac-
tically completed their courses, de-
cided that they would like to go back
to Greece with the American Mission
which was just then about to leave.
Through the Greek Legation they ap-
piled for permission to go with this
mission as members of the American
Red Cross.
Now they are not only serving their
own people, but are also cerating a
feeling in Greece which cements the
long friendship of the Greeks with
America. Although no American
troops have been landed on Greek soil
he people are nevertheless pleased
with the sight of an American uni
form, no matter what branch Of the
service it represents.
Another group of Greek girls In
Boston is taking up courses at Sim
mons College, in dietetics, domestic
science, and home aid. These girls
also expect shortly to sail for Greece

QUEER AUDIENCE IN CHINA
CFrom the Worlds Work.

Yuan Shi-Kai, the President-Dic-
tater of China, was greatly interested
in the modern athletic meet held at
Shanghai. He not only gave the de-
catAion trophy a beautiful five-foot
replica of the Ten Widows Arch in
Pekng, but provided financial back
ing for the games and granted an au-
dience to the visiting athletes.
This audience by the way, was not
fully enjoyed by some of the ath-
let@S, for behind each one stood a
big Manchurian soldier armed with
a lsng rifle. Yuan Shi Kai sat fac

ARMY UNIFORMS COSTLY

(F'~o"7 the Christian Science Monitor)
It is said that it costs Uncle Sam
S1V1 Iur the clothing of every soldier
sent to France, in spite of the STAN
dardization and the universal employ
ment of machinery. This amount
does not include eating utensils and
fighting equipment
The change in methods since the
days of the American Revolution is
striking. The uniforms of that time
were cut up and sewed by hand in
the homes of the people, who also
w" much of the cloth.
Today specialization has gone so
far that coat may be made in New
York to go with trousers made in
Philadelphia. One firm may do the
buttonho1es and another sew on the
buttons.

Washington, Nov. S-An official

ceive their acceptance, and that peace

Any suspension of hostilities before

suspension of arms is out of the ques

the armistice the Americans and Allie
