ASSOCIATED Press)

Paris, Dec. 9.-During preliminary
conversations to fix the program for
the peace conference, it is probable

PRUSSIANS KILL PRISONERS
Paris, Dec 9.-Nine French pris-
oners were shot by the Germans and
fifteen other prisoners seriously
wounded at the prison camp at Lang
ensalza, Prussian Saxony, the Span
ish ambassador at Berlin reports. The
behavior of the prisoners did not in
the least justify the severity of this
act of repression, it was declared.
The French government, it is indi-
Gated, is resolved to demand repara-
tion for this act of the Germans,
which will be added to the already
long list of occurrences of this and
similar nature.

AMERICANS CALLED
TO RESTORE ORDER
TAKEN FROM TREVES TO COB
LEM BY RAILWAY
TRAIN

The American Army of Occupation,
Dec. 8.-(By the Associated Press.)
A battalion of the Thirty-ninth In
fantry left Treves by train today for
Coblenz, four hours run. The pre-
mature occupation of Coblenz is due
tc the request of the German author
tiles, who are apprehensive of the
conditions that might prevail there

forces.
This is the first time the Ameri-
cans have utilized railway trains for
their advance into the territory from
which the Germans have withdrawn.
1t was not expected that there
would be any trouble at Coblenz, and
the appeal by the burgomaster to
send troops was denied until it was
supplemented in writing by the retir-
ing military commanders.
MAIN BODY ARRIVES TO-DAY
Amsterdam, Sunday, Dec. 8.-The
American forces advancing toward
the Rhine will reach Coblenz Mon
day, according to a message from
Berlin quoting a representative OF
the German foreign Office, who has
just returned from Treves.

j. E. Chace, Jno. L. Edwards, D. Niel
Ferguson, George MacKay, Jno. L.
Taylor and H. A. Waterman.
Marion county is asked to raise
$4,000 as its share of the $4,000 need
ed to carry on the work of "Florida's s
Greatest Charity" until 1920. When
this $4,000 is raised, there will be no
need to ask for more money before
1920, so what is given now will be
for the year 1919
For all liberty bonds the society
will receive from the Atlantic Ma

value, and the same bank will pay the
society $5 for every war saving stamp
contributed.
"Have Heart" Answer this plea
by contributing a liberty bond or war
saving stamps for Florida's homeless
and helpless children.

AMERICAN NATL RED CROSS
SOUTHERN DIVISION
President Wilson's Red Cross Christ
mas Roll Call Message

President Wilson's Red Cross Christ
mas Roll Call Message
The White House,
Washington, D. c., Nov. 26. 1918.
To the American People:
One year ago twenty-five million
Americans, by enrolling as members
of the Red Cross at Christmas time,
sent to the men who were fighting our
battles, overseas stimulating mes
sage of cheer and good will. They
made it clear that our people were of
their own free choice united with
their government in the determina-
ton not only to wage war with the
instruments of destruction, but also
by every means in their power to re-
pair the ravages of the invader and
sustain and renew the spirit of the
represented. The friends of the Am
erican Red Cross in Italy. Belgium
and France have told, and will tell
again, the story of how the Red Cross
workers restored morale in the hos
pitals, in the camps, and at the cam
tonments, and we ought to be very
proud that we have been permitted to
be of service to those whose suffer,
ings and whose glory are the heritage
of humanity.
Now, by Gods grace, the Red
Cross Christmas message of 1918 is
to be message of peace as we'll as
message of good will. But peace does
not mean than we can fold our hands.
It means further sacrifice. Our mem
bership must hold together and be
increased for the great tasks to come.
We must prove conclusively to an at
tentive world that America is per-,
manently aroused to the needs of the
new era, our old indifference gone
forever.
The exact nature of the future SER
vice of the Red Cross will depend
upon the program of the associated
governments, but there is immediate
need today for every .heartening word
and for every helpful service. We
must not forget that our, soldiers and
our sailors are still under orders and
still have duties to perform of the
highest consequence. and that the
Red Cross Christmas membership
means a great deal to them. The peo-
pie of the saddened lands, moreover,
returning home today where there
are no homes must have the assur-
ance that the hearts of our people
are with them in the dark and doubt
full days ahead. Let us, so far as we
can, help them back to faith in
mercy and in future happiness.
AS president of the Red Cross,
conscious in this great hour of the
value of such a message from the
American people, should be glad if
every American would join the Red
Cross for 1919, and thus send forth
to the whole human family the Christ
mas greeting for which it waits and
for which it stands in greatest need.

in June last that the mackerel catch
had totalled about 100000 fish. This
was good showing, as in other years
the total had never reached 5000 ooC
until August. Spring cod fishing was

FIVE TALK NOW ON
ON WIRE CIRCUIT
Burleson Announces In
vention That Will Revolt
tionize Phone Service
TELEGRAPH PROBLEM
ALSO is SOLVED

WASHINGTON. Dec. i3.-lt Is now
possible for i've groups OF people TO
carry on telephone conversation stimuli
taneously over the identical wires with
out interference with one another's
words.
A developmet OF the multiple
method Of using wires, making possible
the transmission Of flve simultaneous
telephone conversations over one cir
cult OF two wires. has been announced
by Postmaster General Burleson In the
form Of a letter received by him from
Theodore n. Vail. president Of the
American Telephone-and Telegraph
Company.
"over a single pair Of wires a total
OF five telephone conversations are SIM
nltaneously operated, each giving se-v-
see as good as that provided by the
circuit working IN the ordinary way,
Mr. Vail said. ut Is not saying loo
much TO characterize this new system
as marking an epoch IN the development
Of long-disiance telephony and teleg-
rapby.
aHeretofore the best telephone
methods known TO the art provided
only one telephone conversation at a
time ove- q single pair Of wires. A
number OF years ago we developed the
'phantom-circuit' arrangement by which
three telephone circuits are obtained
from two pairs Of wires, an Important
Improvement OF which we have made
extensive use. Now by our muluplex
method we are enabled TO obtain i've
telephone circuits over one pail Of
wires; that IS ten simultaneous tele-
phone conversations from the two pairs
Of wires which formerly could be used
Fer cnly three simultaneous telephone
conversations. This represents an In
crease Of more than three-fold in the
telephone capacity OF the wl-es, as
compared with the best previous state
Of the art. and a flve-fold increase under |
conditions where the phantom circuit
is not employed.
In biography, as well as In tele-
phony, sensational results have been
attained by the new system. BY COM
5ining two telegraph wires into a me-
kalllc circuit Of the type used for tele-
phone working and by applying our
new apparatus and methods TO this me-
tallic circuit, we have enormously In
creased the capacity of the wires for
telegraph messages. As applied 10 high

is such that If desired wires may be

phone conversations or for forty sim
