ACTION OF OPERATORS
PROBABLY SAVED PARIS
FROM SERIOUS FAMINE

PARIS, Aug. 26 Correspondence OF
Associated Press -Vigilant telegraph
operators in the central office here
saved Paris from a possible famine
during the recent food crisis precipi-
tated by the profteers.
Following disorders around the cen
trail markets where consumers raided
the stands, and overthrow them, scat
tering vegetables, fruit, fish and other
food to the ground because of the
high prices, a number of commission
merchants sent urgent kilograms to
producers outside of Paris telling
them to hold back their goods till
forther orders. Many Of the dis
patches indicated that, owing to
general decline in prices, the mer-
chants were Withholding their goods
from the market.
The kilograms numbered about one
thousand. They had gone past the
WlCketS into the operating rooms,
when the operator who was working
one of the wires to Brittany noted
batch of them cancelling orders for
butter. Now he had paid 10 francs
for a pound of butter that morning.
He consulted with colleagues operat-
ing wires leading to fish, vegetable,
fruit and other centers, and their ia
bles we're loaded down with similar
kilograms. None of the messages
was sent.
In statement issued last night the
government said that it took the
responsibility for the action of the
telegraphers.

BlWeeks to go and on top Of all the
lIpsets already recorded there are in
lications Of other complications.
Harvard Colgate and Dartmouth IN
The east are still undefeated, though
each has a tie game on its seasons
record.
In the west the only undedtcated
member Of the conference is Ohio
State and Illinois may put q crimp
In that if z4ppke's boys keep up
their stride
The Yale team is getting better
tight along and when the Blue-Crinl-
CON clash takes place November %,
there will be an intcros.ci assembly
on hand. II Yale should tie or beat
Harvard it would be a toss-up be-
tween Dartmouth and Colgate for cas-
tern honors.
Harvard is really lucIy to be run
ming today for Princeton outplayed the
Crimson in their battle last Saturday
Ohio State has played anu WoH wv
conference games. The Buckeyes
have light schedule but that ILL
nois game Nov. % looks heavy enough
to make up for what the Buckeyes
have missed so far. That looks like
struggle worth while. If both teams
win the coming Saturday then the
championship will hinge on the Nov
90 game. If Ohio wins that, too, ii
wiz be undisputed champion OF the
west-the only team unbeaten. II IL u,
linois wins many of the experts Will
favor giving the ZupDke men the IT,
tie, although there will be yelp
from other conference elevens that
nav then have as good a record. AT
any rate the race is interesting in
