Little Rock, May 1.-The telephone company is putting in some additional switchboard units. an when these are completed. will have maximum cap acity of 12,00O telephones. This re- quires 300 operators, and there are 25 additional operators being trained to fill in vacancies. There has been a great deal of complaint about poor service, but the company explains that this is due to inexperienced operators, the scarcity of linemen to keep the Ines in repair, and an increase in the traffic fro man average ten calls a day to fifteen, and t.Ae population has in- creased from 30,000 to more than 100,- 900, all using the same phones.

D. c. VETERAN Of
z WARS WOUNDED

John Callahan. fifty years Of sFe. a
private In the United States Engi-
neers for thirty years. and a veteran
OF the Spanish-AE'erican war, has
been wounded severely in action in
France. The casualty list today
reads, Wounded severely in action,
Private John Callahan. home address,
United Spanish War Veterans"
Callahan was well known in Wash
Ington. having been stationed at the
Washington Barracks here for nearly
twenty years. His closest friend dur
ing that time was the adjutant Of
the No. . Camp. II. L. Leslie. of 2923
Twelfth street northeast, who served
through the Cuban campaigns with
him. Mr. Leslie received an unofficial
report that Callahan had oe"h killed
in France early in July. Tnis report
received no confirmation from the
War Department
Leslie, who is given as Callahan's
next OF kin. said today that Callahan
had no relatives that he knew OF, as
the veteran soldier had never spoken
Of any. According to Leslie, Callahan
came TO this country from Ireland
thirty years ago and enlisted in The
army and has never known any other
home since.

ENVOY DENOUNCED
BJLGARS,IS CHARGE

The part Consul General Murphy
at Sofia played in recent bulgarian
developments came as a surprise to-
day TO official Washington. following
quotation of alleged remarks by Mr..
Murphy, issued through the Greek le-
cation.
Cable advices 20 the Greek lega-
tiOn told of Mr.. Murphy going TO
Saloniki and telling the allied COM
mauder there that the BUigars ought
TO be tanned. that they had committed
outrages against him and that he had
been starving.
In this connection IL was recalled
that Mr. Murphy was ordered by the
State Department to return to hrs
post. The State Department said that
il knew nothing OF Mr.. Murphy's al
legged statements. All it prOfessed to
know was that Mr.. Murphy had gone
to SalOuiki, sending a message here
Of his departure. When this became
known here. Secretary Lansing imme-
diately ordered him to return.
Communication MeaEer.
1t was said at the department
that as far as known Mr.. Murphy's
relations as charge de affaires at
Sofia had been amicable. But II was
pointed out that communication with
him had been meager.
The official cable to the Greek leCa-
tion stated that Mr.. Murphy de
cIared to the general commander-in-
chief of the allied rnies that il is
absolutely necessary that'the BulGars
should be tanned. He has suffered
several Outrages from Bulgarians
after starving for three months"
May he Transferred.
That Mr. Murphy Was acting on
his own initiative il seems apparent
The upshot of the matter is likely 10
be that with Bulgaria out Of the
war, Mr.. Murphy would be transferred
10 another post, for evidently rela-
tions between him and the BulEar au-
thorities are not such as to permit
continuing him there.
