MONDAY EVI-:Xjfry> TELEGRAPH SEPTEMBER 30,^1018^ ■■E COMPANIES I CONSERVE! Matter; Plant En largements Discouraged At the request of the government j officials telephone companies are j making an effort to conserve at all points. Changes o; phone locations * and additional plant enlargements' tire being discouraged because of la-i bor and manufacturing shortages. Over-crowding the exchanges when | whistles blow for tires or bells ring to announce an American victory the I public is asked not to rush to the j telephones but to spread their calls' over a reasonable period in order not | to throw the whole system into dis-! J . f- order. "This kind of rush reminds me of a story 1 once read of a panic in a; theater," said J. T. Harris, traffic i superintendent of the Hell Telephone. Company to-day. "Once on a still , winter's night a lire gong pierced, ihe air. Pandemonium reigned and) the people rose as one and asked 'Where is ihe lire'." in a certain the- j ater pendemonium also broke loose! and thousands of people surged to-] wards the exits. All could not hopej to get out at once and the result' was many were injured and several! killed. Women were trampled under foot and the memory of that ler- 1 rlble lire still lingers. Had the peo-1 pie. who were crowded in that the ater, taken their time and moved! out slowly and carefully, all would i probably have been lead to safecy. j "The problem confronting tha American public now is a serious one . There is but one thought in the minds of the great majority, Winning of the War." Patriotism means to love one's country and the government to-day needs the co operation of the people everywhere. "When a fire gong pierces the air, j when the bolls ring out news ol' a j victory 'over there," or anything of, an unusual nature happens causing Ihe whistles to blow —think of the fire in the theater and the public surging to the doors in a jam, for! that is exactly the way the public surges to the telephone to ask what is happening, it is not only neces sary but very essential that ihe American pecple co-operate with the government in the handling of the telephone service, for it is vital in carrying out ihe needs of our gov ernment .and when the people run to the telephone and ask unnecessary questions, it is impossible to render the necessary efficient service re-j quired for essential calls. It is just) us necessary for the conservation ofj telephone service as it Is for 'he conservation of the food supplv. We must all pull together. Invents New Serving Dish For Lunch Counters Perry E.

Meanwhile to the south the British ■ 1 stormed the main Hindenburg de fenses on the Scheldt canal, crossed 1 the waterway and gained the hills beyond, taking many prisoners. To| the north British have their hands ! on Cambrai, the important German base over which recently there has] been so much fighting. The Cana-; dians are in the northwestern out-, skirts of the city, while a naval di vision has reached the southern en virons. South of St. Quentin to La Fere, the French have pressed forward their line and taken some 500 pris-' oners. Along the Chemin Des Dames I the French have advanced their line fior a distance of two miles, captur- ing the highest point on'the famous ridge. in Belgium the Belgians and Brit ish have driven forward and taken Dlxniude. ten miles from the North Sea southeast of Nieuport, bringing their line into closer union with thut in tlie region of Ypres. The capture of Dlxmude if it is pressed for fur ther gains eastward will seriously affect the German submurine bases on tlie North Sea. Heavy Goo- Hit Railroads Direct hits by the heavy guns of the French and Americans upon the broad gauge railroad at two points east of Chevleres, which lies imme diately north of Argonne forest, were reported yesterday by aeriai observers. The Germans have been using the railroad to bring up troops from the west. One shell is reported to have cut the railway and the other to have badly damaged the roadbed. The American army operating on the Champagne front has captured Brieulles-Sur-Aleuse and Romagne, west of that town, on the outskirts of the forest of Romagne, and the attack is progressing favorably. This places the Americans against the Krlemhilde line, which runs east and west of the Ateuse river, through Brieulles. The Americans have captured Cierges. according to latest word from the front. Cierges lies nearly three miles northwest of Alontfau con, where the American center met such stubborn resistance on the first and second days of the drive.

NEXT CONGRESS REPUBLICAN Sproul Says That He Docs Not Sec Anything Else; Penn sylvania in Line ' The next congress will be Republi can is the prediction of Senator Wil liam C. Sproul, candidate for Gover nor. who has a far better knowledge of the congressional situation than many men. , The Senator made his declaration at a speech in Reading: "Never in the history of the country hn3 a party been put to such an acid test as the Republican. When the crisis came it was the Republicans who stood back of the administration. Wo have and will stand by Presi dent Wilson, regardless of party, aiming only to win the "war." "The party we are assisting now by supporting its President did not fol low a similar course in 1864," he continued. The Democrats did everything against the administra tion in that crisis. The remaining year of Abe Lincoln's life were sad dened by the opposition of the Demo crats. Wu have not made that mis take. Wo shall continue to stand by the President. But we Republicans demand a real pence nnd a guaran tee that wo shall forever after this war be safe from attack. T know the Republican party will; control the next congress. We will be there when the war adjustment ] arrives after the war. We will t count the cost and pay the debt. We most then meet the after-war rivalry of oilier countries. There will be great business problems to solve.. Suppose we Republicans hnj attended to ftnmliiß and fishing il : in the last lew years, where w< j the country be now?
