ROBBERS ACTIVE ALONG CHINESE;
 TRADE ROUTES

CHENGTU, China, July 12 (by As sociated Press) s).-Depredations of rob- Der bands along trade routes in Szechuen province have become so fragrant and widespread that urgent appeals for the use of troops to com bat the menace have been sent to the Chinese provincial authorities by for eign firms operating in Szechuen. The outlaws have become so bold that mail consignments, hitherto immune from them, have been seized.
 One recent report that was brought to Chengtu was of the robbery of a pack train on the "big road" which is the main highway between Chung king and Chengtu. In this forty bags of mail were opened and rified by the outlaws and "the whole hillside was covered with stolen mail"
 In another case a caravan had been held up and robbed by a band of ban dits when a second stronger band of brigands appeared and compelled the return of the stolen goods. The leader of the smaller band was then shot. The chieftain who did this declared that he had guaranteed the safe pass age of this particular caravan, having received a substantial consideration.
 The activities of the bandits are felt as much by the individual as by the large commercial interests in the opin- ion of one Chengtu mission worker, who said:
 |It is a grievous hardship to send to America for suit of clothes, pay for it at the present ruinous prices, wait patiently six months for it's ar- rival and finally hear that it has been appropriated by robbers within few days of it's destination

COUNTLESS NUMBER OF BLIND ADDED YEARLY
 BY SPAIN'S LAX LAWS

MADRID, July 12 (by Associated Press). - Twenty thousand sight less persons are added to the popula- tion of Spain every year owing to in- attention to cases of smallpox, measles, scarIatina, meningitis and the after effects of sexual maladies, writes Count de la Lein in Fl Sol. The count asks why Spain thus makes peo- pie blind and then abandons them to 8 life of miserable mendicancy in many cases He points out that they are neither properly cared for nor educated so that they may take care of themselves. He says most of the institutions for the blind, and there are many such establishments in the country, with rare exceptions are in- efficient and antiquated with teachers lacking the necessary training. The blind are taught very superfcially bas- ket and boxmaking or the most ele- mentary music. He declares nobody believes in their efficacy, although many give subscriptions out of pure charity.
 The count deplores "the traditional ignorance of the Spanish authorities which do not heed or take advantage of the experience of the United States, England and other civilized countries in dealing with the blind"

NEW VESSELS
 DDSTRENCTH
 TOCHILE NAVY

BUENOs AIRES, July 12, (by As sociated Press) by Chile of the British dreadnaught Canada and two British destroyers is regard ed by diplomatic circles here as an indication that events are moving swiftly toward a definite conclusion of the Tacna-Arica controversy. be- tween Chile and Peru. This dispute has long threatened the peace of South America. It is considered that such an increase in Chile's naval power must have an important bearing on the settlement of the international dispute for the possession of the port of Africa now held by Chile but claimed both by Peru and Boliva.
 While Chiles naval forces already exceed those of Peru, it is pointed out that the acquisition at this time of three fighting ships would constitute a powerful argument to enforce al settlement of the differences between the two nations over the title to the two Pacific provinces. Peru's sea- ports, naturally, would be at the mercy of Chile in any resort to arms.
 Purchase of the vessels at this time is believed in some quarters to be especially significant in view of 8 widely held opinion that the Tacna- Africa dispute will reach a definite crisis within year. We'll informed ovservers say Peru will likely seek a settlement of the question before the League of Nations of which she is member. She is unable to reach an agreement with Chile on the long delayed plebiscite which was to deter mine the sovereignty of the provin- ces and the opinion is held here that she can expect no arbitral aid from the United States owing to the fact that the American government in recent note to Chile accepted a policy of "non-intervention" in the Tacna Africa case.
 Chile, on the other hand will resist interference by the League of Nations, it is believed, having uneQuivocally made her position clear in a reply to a note of the United States saying that she will not accept intervention from any power or powers" Chiles position is that under the terms of the treaty of Ancon, her rights are so clear that there is nothing to arbi- trate.
 Consequently, it is predicted. that Chile will hasten the dispute to a conclusion before it reaches the stage of consideration by the League of Nations, with the idea of presenting the league with an accomplished fact, thus foresta1ling Peru's attempt to gain an arbitration.
 This accomplished fact it is as- serted, would be the cession to Boliva of the port of Africa in return pre- sumably for certain compensations.
 Whatever may be the official atti- tude of the Chilean government and notwithstanding it's repudiation of Peruvian charges that it has instigat- ed Boliva against Peru, it is we'll known fact in South America that Chile's publicists and statesmen are entirely in sympathy with Bolivian as pirations for an outlet to the Pacific It is net regarded as strange, there fore, that predictions are heard that Chile is supporting Boliva's claims.

PHONE SERVICE
IS CURTAILED
Damage to Inside Multiple
Switches l. Cause of
Trouble

The Home telephone service was
seriously curtaiIed for several hours
Wednesday morning and delays
We're encountered throughout the
city during the day on account Of
the burning out Of several inside
multiple switches at the main
switchboard at 9:45 o'clock.
The fact that the trouble was
confined 10 one small portion OF the
intricate switchboard enabled the
telephone company 10 provide some
form OF service during the entire
day BY 10 o'clock II was estimated
that 60 percent of the phones were
enabled to function and according
20 the officials 10 was thought that
the damage would be repaired en-
tirely by o'clock in the evening.
The cause of the sudden switch
trouble is still a mystery and it is
doubtful If the specific trouble will
ever be determined as il was de
clared by company officials that the
switchmen had only finished the
regular morning inspection about 10
minutes previous 20 the sudden flash
which disrupted practically the en-
tire service for a short period Of
time. Fire broke out but was soon
