A peculiar happening aecompa
MED the Madison street fire,
worthy OF more than . passing
mention. A heavy lead Of tele.

Pacific Railroad right Of way.
These lines ran alongside OF the
burning buildings on Madison
street. When the supports OF
these lines were burnt away, one
of them fell across the Fire Alarm
Service wire, causing the usual
single blast Of the whistle at the
light plant, meaning that the fire

high pressure on the water mains.
The water pressure promptly went
down to the normal Of commercial
service--just when the Are was at
the zenith of its fury. With the
water pressure cut of, the fre
soon regained its lost head way.
A message had to be sent to the
plant--a mile and q half away
to explain that the falling wires
had caused q false signal to be
sounded, and that water was
needed desperately. Before the
high pressure was again restored
valuable time had been lost, and
buildings which had been
ignited found time In which to be
rendered q total loss.

hind the German lines running to

All positions held by the Austri-
ans on the lower Pave constituting
the Caposile bridgehead have now
been taken by the Italians and the
entire western bank of the Pave is
clear of the enemy. Nearly 400 Aus
TRANS were taken. Seemingly the
chase of the enemy on tn eastern
bank has ended. In the mountains

in various sectors and intensive aeri.
al operations are going on along the
entire front. The Rome war office
rcasserts all the artillery lost by the
Italians have been recaptured.

DELAY DRAFT EXTENSION FOR
SOTO 90 DAYS BY REQUEST

request Of members of the militan
committee, spent nearly three hourl
behind closed doors with the commit
tee. The secretary and chief of staff
said legislation to change the age
limits should be deferred for sixty
or ninety days as enough men for
the existing army program are avail
able and new and enlarged army
program is now being prepared for
submission to Congress within few
months.
That there would be no delay in
increasing the army to the maximum
by postponing change in the draft
ages was the statement Of Secretary
Baker which opponents of the Fall
amendment stressed.
Sentiment generally was expressed
in the debate that revision of the
draft ages apparently must be resort
ed to in the near future and consid-
cred by Congress next fall at the
latest. Sentiment also was against
lowering the minimum age below &c
wears and for increase Of the maxi
mum to at least IS years.
