Entrance Of His Majesty's Forces

With British Army in Mesopotamia, May l, Correspondence of the Asso- ciated Press)-The peaceful pene- tration of the Euphrates country from F'eluja to Hilleh began in April last year, a month after the British army entered Bagdad. Before the Turk was finally routed on the Tigris, Great Britain had begun to tap the resources of the Euphrates.
 For months during the hot weather the roads from Hilleh and Museyib to Bagdad were obscured by the dust of camel and donkey conveys bringing in corn. Arab levies were raised to police the roads, villages, and towns, and the country was cleared of bands of maruders. This year, owing to the success of the Euphrates irrigation lselseIs eul 10 es!moId S! sLsul pue 'uolvAnIno J7pun luSnoIq ueeQ eAeU s7Log 900 luo Snp ue9q 9ABu osn -slp oluI ueIeJ pau uo!uM uoueIq u7I IIH eul uo sleueo p9Lpuuu HILeou IgeH sIuL 'lI!s ullM Su!IIg seM uoIuM 'uoueIq ueU!H eul Io1 I7leM ep!AoId oa seM usp eul Jo uonounJ ouL

 But the Shatt- el-Hilleh develop ments are only part of the scheme. For several years the land on both banks of the Hindieh branch below the dam down to Kill has been out of cultivation, as the canals provided in the schemes to irrigate that area were neglected. The British invaders were not long in getting to work at them. In May, as soon as the Tigris opera tions were completed, they began to open posts on the Euphrates. The work on the canals was started early in June; they were finished by the end of October; and the ground they ir- rigated is now unde cultivation.
 There was a gap in the British communications between Nasiriyeh and Hileh in the hot weather, but the army has lately bridged it, estab- fishing posts south of Hilleh and north of Nasciriveh so that 1t now administers the whole country from Rasra to Ramadie. It has been sing1larly peaceful penetration.

REMINGTON F. D.
Has Official Test of Its New Com bination Chemical and Hose Fire Truck.

An official try-out and test of New ingtons new com b1nation chemical and hose fire truck was made last evening at the center and the towns folk turned out in large numbers. The new truck is equipped with two 35-gallon chemical tanks with 200 feet of chemical hose, a roof and an extension ladder small hand chem- calls and hose body with a capacity for i, 900 feet of ? 1-2 inch hose. The town has no fire hydrants now, but when a water system is installed hy drants will be part of the system. Then fire hose will be purchased.
 The nucleus for volunteer fire de- partment is already in existence and with the truck the town is in a good way of having fire protection. The chief of the department is David Win chester who was formerly sub stitute callman in the New Britain fire departm ent. He has a handsome helmet that was given to him by friends in the New Britain fire depart ment It was one that was used in the days when New Britain had fire department, and just fits the chief.
 The test last evening consisted of driving the truck through the town. One of the constables who had not heard of the purchase of the appara- tus was awakened by the approach of the truck and stepped out in the middle of the road, intending to stop the speedster. The chauffeur just vhizzed by him at 50 miles an hour and the consta ble, quick of percep- ton, calculated: By jing. It's a pippin, b'gum.''
 After the trials the Womans Aid society furnished lunch in the Town hall. Chief Dame of the New Britain fire department witnessed the demon stration.

WATCH REPAIRING PICKS UP.
Central Refuses to Tell You Correct
 Time, Please"

Chicago, H., May 3O.-Watch re- pairing in Chicago has more than doubled as the result of the tele- phone company's refusal to give the correct time of day to subscribers on and after May 1, according to jew elry houses and department store heads here. The order also has in- creased considerably the sale of new watches and alarm clocks to persons, who hitherto have depended largely on the telephone company for the time of day.
 According to the manager of one of the largest department stores ir the city, the watch repairing by ilis establishment increased more than fifty per cent almost before the or der became effective and the sale ct watches especially the cheaper kind, and alarm clocks leaped forward rap idly.
 Figures compiled by telephone eX- perts showed that more than 250, 900 persons in Chicago called the opera tor daily and asked the correct time, please" Repeal of the time hon. ored custom telephone experts de- clared, was due to the burdens inn posed upon facilities of the company by the war, and several other causes. Children, some of whom were unable to tell the time, it is said, were the chief offenders, while others wishing to show that they could use the telc- phone always demonstrated by asking for the 'cOrrect Iimo''

ROAD TESTS FOR TRUCK
New Maxim Truck Shows Plenty of Power in Official Demonstration Up Hills.

An official road test of the new Maxim Motor Co. fire truck was made yesterday afternoon. Mayor Quigley and Alderman Richards accompanied the fire commissioners and members of the fire department on the trial run. The truck was driven over some of the hardest grades in the city. The car went up the north side of Sexton street hill, which is approached by a sharp turn at the foot and was stopped halfway down on the south side of the hill at @ fire hydrant to show the working of the brakes. The hills on Barnett and Wooster streets were climbed on high gear. The car showed speed of over 35 miles an hour. Those who rode on the appara- tus were unanimous in the opinion that it rode as easily over the rough roads as a touring car and had abun- dance of power Very favorable com- ments on the performance were ex- pressed.

 Trolley EmpIoyes.
 The service given the patrons of the Connecticut company on the Der lin line by one of the crews having a run in the morning is certainly de- serving of the notice of the officials of the company. This morning one of the new motormen, making his maiden trip along Berlin street, drove past a patron who was waiting for the car and came to a stop about 25 yards down the road. When the pa tron asked the conductor why the car cid not stop at that station he was tcld that he was too d. lazy to walk. This is a rather common oc- currcnce and is something that the company should look into.
