VESSELS COLLIDE;
 SOLDIERS PERISH

IRISH PORT.-Another great maritime disaster is reported to have occurred when the armed British merchant crusier Otranto collided with the British troop transport Kashmir last Sunday, in the North Channel, between Scotland and Ire land, with the loss of over three hundred and fifty American troops, who were on board the merchant cruiser
 A heavy storm was raging, ac- companied by dense fog, when the troop transport Kashmir crashed in- to the merchant cruiser Otranto Both vessels were proceeding at a moderate rate of speed, owing to the dense fog, and the usual signals as required by the regulations were sounded from time to time. It is thought that the course each vessel was steering, by the compass, and guided by the warning signals, would have taken them clear by each other ordinarily; but the leeway made by the boats in the heavy storm could not possibly have been accurately gauged, and the collision was the result.
 The wireless signals sent out by both vessels were promtply respond ed to by the British destroyer Noun sey, which gallantly came as close as she dared alongside the injured Otranto and invited the men on the sinking merchant cruiser to jump on board the destroyer, but the offer was declined, owing to the heavy seas running. The Mounsey stood by gallantly to the last and rescued many who were thrown into the water after the collision.

CALL UP CENTRAL
 IN CASE 0F. FIRE

People should understand that in giving a fire alarm, it is essential that telephone central be notified of the location of the fire.
 If the original alarm is given directly to the power house, it should be followed instantly by a notifica- tion to central.
 In case of fire, the quickest way to get results, is through telephone central; for central is in a position to notify everyone, as to the exact location.
 The Commission whistle sounded the fire alarm yesterday afternoon and met with a prompt response by the Commission chemical. The cause of the alarm was a small fire at the Commission power plant which was soon put out with scarcely an effort.
 The city fire department also promptly turned out, but their serv- ices were not needed.

PRINTER MAKES VERY BAD BREAK
 DURING PARADE
S. J. Boone, A Printer, Starts
 Towards President, Who Was
 . Leading Liberty Parade.

As President Wilson, at the head of the division leading the Liberty Day parade, passed Fifty-Fifth Street. s. J. Boone, printer, broke from the line guarded by the police and started towards the President.
 He was promptly seized by the officers before he had gone very far and speeded away from the wrath of the angered crowds, in an auto and landed in jail. A loaded revolver was found in the street close to the point where Boone was arrested and it is thought to have dropped out of Boone's pocket.
 When questioned in the jail re- garding his extraordinary action, Boone said he had no harmful in- tention, but that he merely wished to shake hands with the President.
 When Boone was arrested the an- gry crowd surged towards him and they were held back with difficulty by the police and secret service men.
 The President was absolutely un- disturbed by the incident and smil- ingly continued on his way at the head of the parade. The incident didn't even halt him.
