NEW SERVICES
 SHOW GROWTH

Evidence of growth of Phoenix is seen Tn the new water services being installed in the city. These new ser- wees, according to records in the water department, number 80 since the first of the year, or for a period of three months, which is considered remarkable. There were only 107 new services installed throughout the year 1917.
 These 80 services are in addition to services extended to property lines in anticipation of paving. The de- partment estimates that this will be the banner year in the matter of new services, or connections, in the city's history.

London, May 29.-How a submarine

So terrific was the explosion that

AMERICAS HELP FELT.
Long Period Of Coal strineeney In
Italy IL Relieved.

Long ferloo OF Coal Strin9eney IN
Italy 10 Relieved.
Verona. Italy, May 80. (By Mail)-
That Americas economic help to Eu
rope is beginning to count Is shown by
the fact that coal has become relative
ly less scarce again after long period
of stringency and railway trains are
again able to run sharply on time on
the trunk lines across northern Italy.
This Is q most favorable turn of the
scales on a product vital to Italian
transportation and industry.
Producing no coal at home, Italys
stock In the past has been drawn from
England and France, but with the
French and Belgian coal fields invaded
by the enemy and the difficulties Of
transportation. coal has been soaring
steadily until 1t was practically out OF
use for domestic purposes and all the
wheels Of industry and transportation
were aackened. Railways have felt the
strinsency severely. with trains de-
layed from lack of fuel. All this has
been materially improved Of late. Brit
ish and French coal has been the main
source Of relief. under the general
plan Of mutual distribution among the
allies but the large contribution OF
American coal to the general stock in
Europe has materially helped to solve
the coal problem on this side and
start the wheels going regularly a8nin.

American Consul First Foreigner Thus
Honored in Venice.

E1OuOV00 vOb'SVs
CORRESPONDENCE Associated Press.)
Venice, May 2S.-The silken standard
of the proud old republic of Venice,
known as the Gonfalon of San Marco,
now has place of honor in the Amer
lean consulate at Venice, and upon
American Consul B. Harry Carroll, Jr,
has been conferred the distinction of
being a Gonfalonier Of San Marco, or
standard bearer of the Venetian flag.
It Is the first time in the history OF
Venice that such distinction has been
given to any foreigner and it reflects
the feeling of the city toward the
American representative for the atten-
ton he has given their interests dur
ing the trials of the last six months
with the enemy on the Pave, only fif-
teen miles east ofWenice.
Throughout the political changes of
Venice, the city has preserved the en-
blems which marked it's greatest glory,
when, as the Venetian republic, she
was mistress Of the Adriatic and the
eastern Mediterranean and was strong
enough to defeat the Turks and con-
quer Constantinople. The winged lions
of st. Mark are the most familiar en-
blem and they are not only seen in
Venice and all the surrounding cities
of the Venetian province. but in Corfu
and all along the coast of Dalmatia
and Croatia.
Another of these emblems is a Doge's
| ring, conferred in the old days of Ven
ice as a symbol Of the suzerainity Of
the oceans Queen" over the sea. But
| the proudest relic of the past is the
Gonfalon of San Marco, or standard of
the famous old republic. 1t is one of
the possessions of TIE city and the
municipal council guards it's use and
designates the few who are privileged
to carry It., the designation carrying
with it the title Of Gonfalonier Of San
Marco.
It was a notable ceremony at the
city council chamber when the rank
Of standard bearer of the Venetian flag
was conferred on Consul Carroll, more
as an evidence of personal esteem than
in his official capacity. With the may
or and councillors of Venice were the
admiral Of the port and the high Off
GERS Of the army and navy. Addresses
were exchanged and toasts drunkA ex-
pressing the feeling toward the consul
| and the cordial relations existing be-
tween Italy and the United States.
Following this delegation Of the
city fathers proceeded to the American
| consulate, bearing. one Of the silken
gonfafons Of San Marco, and gave 1t
| into the hands Of the new standard
bearer. The standard is Of heavy silk
richly edged with gold fringe with a
gilded staff topped by the lions of San
I Marco.
