DESTRUCTION OF GERMAN VESSELS niiTTi rn mi irn

British Believe Dynamite Was

on Board When Ships Left Germany. (By Associated Press)

the naval expert, in an interview in The Dispatch, regarding the sinking of the German -warship in Scapa Flow, admires the spirit of the Germans in sinking their ships rather than to allow them to pass into the possession of their enemies. The article in The Dispatch recalls

.that a writer in an evening paper re

cently practically predicted the destruction of the German ships. This .writer emphasized the ease of secret

ing demolition charges in a modern warship, adding "many people in the navy believe that the ships left Germany with dynamite charges already in position and that when the decision

of the peace conference was announced, the Scapa Flow would be the scene of a big pyrotechnic display." Act Held Remarkable Commander Kenworthy, M. P., told The Dispatch that it was the easiest thing in the world to sink a ship by opening, the Kingston valve or remov-

"The story is remarkable," said

Lord Sydneham. "Explosives could not have been used as they are be- . lieved to have been removed. Assuming that the Kingston valves were open, the ships would not sink in less than ve hours,, but it is annoying that Mrt wont mitnrf tterl "

Commander Bellaires, M. P., declared that no watch. from the guard boats could have prevented the scut- , tling of the ships and therefore the . sailors on the spot are not " to be blamed.

Word that the British dirigible R-34 has started od its attempt to cross the Atlantic ocean to America from England is expected hourly. The giant dirigible is ready for the flight. According to recent reports the big ship may attempt to fly to the U. S. and

back without landing in this country, as it can carry enough supplies to make the round trip. This type of dirigible originally was designed for bombing German cities. One interesting feature of the construction of the ship is a passageway through the gas bag

by which the members of the crew can go from one of the suspended "gondolas" to another. A ladder leads up to the passageway from each bag. The ladder can be seen in the photo of one of the gondolas. The crew of the ship totals thirty-three men. :

TRENTON, N. J., June 23. The proposed League of Nations was declared to be opposed to the fundamental principles of the United States govern

ment by United States Senators Frelinghuysen of New Jersey and Watson of Indiana, and Republican State Chairman E. C. Stokes at the state convention here Saturday of the New Jersey' League of Republican clubs. Congressman Fess of Ohio attacked the Democratic administration for its alleged inefficiency and declared that only the United States treasury kept five great railroads of the country out of bankruptcy.

ephone exchange and learnt the mysterious workings at "the other end of the line." It is almost impossible to realize that efficient service can be given the public just from a room full of switchboards, almost human in their unsupervised efficiency, with

i only two or three persons in the exi change to supervise and aid when any-

and satisfactory service is rendered; by the automatic telephone exchange, claim local telephone men, because It puts the control in the hands of the user and eliminates the errorful human agency. The majority of subscribers of the telephone service have no idea of what takes place when they call a number. An underground main cable beneath the telephone office connected

with a switch board in the exchange, on which there is a switch for every telephone, by means of a pair of wires. This switchboard connects other on which there are 100 lines each. Never more than ten subscribers can call out and ten in on each board. Boards Have Digits.

The telephone numbers in Richmond contain four digits, and run into the

four thousands. There are switch boards in the exchane running from

ten hundred to forty hundred. When the subscriber pulls the first number on the dial of his telephone he pulls

the thousandth digit on the nrst "se

lector" of the switch board. Should that one be busy the digit is pulled

on another one. The hundreth digit

is pulled on the second selector. The unit and tens digits are ob

tained on groups of switchboards called connectors. When the last two digits of the number are pulled on the dial the connector goes up as many notches as the third digit and in as many times as the fourth digit, putting the subscriber in a position for throwing out the generator which rings the bell when the button on the phone is pushed. At all times there is someone supervising the switch board. An as

signment list is made out each day

designating the work lor eacn employe. The girl on the trouble desk is the one who must bear with the impatience, rudeness and the troubles of subscribers. It is she who always hears about the inefficiency of the service rather than the efficiency. No one ever calls her to tell her how well the 'phone has been working. No one ever calls the exchange for that purpose. .

At the trouble desk the ills and ailings of the phone are discovered and remedied. For instance, the subscriber calls one number and gets another, entirely different. In some cases it may be that in calling he has gotten in on a selector that is busy. A wire may be down, or the line may be

grounded. The girl on the trouble desk has a series of test keys in front of her and when a trouble call comes in, she tests the phone herself and is able to determine the cause, whether in the exchange or a a sub-station. If this be the case when the trouble man calls in she tells him of the case and he immediately goes out on it. A chart

and a dial are place on the trouble

desk and when a subscriber reports a

'phone out of order or a number that he cannot get she calls the number on the dial above her desk and at the

same time watches the chart, which shows whether, the line is clear and

open, busy, volt meter shows short, or

ground trouble.

Test Your Own Phone. ": In many instances, however, the trouble is not with the telephone, but

with the subscriber himself.

Rather than subject himself to a little brainwork, he immediately calls up trouble. A subscriber can test his own telephone by calling, his number and if the busy-busy does not sound he knows there is trouble on his own phone. Many people do not stand near enough to the transmitter to make themselves understood at the other end of the line. Talk on the telephone is entirely under the control of the subscriber. The employes

in the office at the exchange have nothing to do with it. j A rule which all telephone subscribers should abide by is to address one on the telephone as you would address him to his face. Telephone courte

sies are just as important as any other kind. The subscriber with the pleasant agreeable voice will be served with more willingness on the part of the operators than the one who is short, and rude. Another interesting feature of the service is the fact that the history of every telephone is kept from the time it is Installed until the time it is removed. Every time that a subscribed calls "Trouble," a record is made of

the number, time of the call and trouble on the phone. A record book is kept to which one may refer and

find a record of the trouble calls made. Subscribers Don't Help. The subscribers want efficient service, yet often when the telephones are being tested, no co-operation is received from the subscriber. A routine test is made of every telephone. One of the toll operators is assigned to the position of service inspector. She calls the subscriber and asks how the telephone is working and the report is registered. The entire system is tested in this way four times each year. Often the switch supervisor sees a line open, and in order to see whether or not the persons are talking, says, "This is central. Are you waiting?" If this person is calling another person and the unexpected voice comes to his ears, rather than say yes," he says "wrong number," which causes a great deal of confusion in the exchange. The tester attempts to find the trouble and the recipient of the call, when he answers the phone, finds no one and calls trouble.

But the employes believe that people are becoming more educated each day in the use of the telephone. One instance will show that there are still some people who could know more

about it. A subscriber repeatedly called trouble one morning, but insisted that she wanted 810. The man

on the trouble desk kindly told her that there was no such number She indignantly remarked that, "it was written in black and white in the directory." He reiterated that it could not be. A second later she said: "Here it is in your directory, 810 , North, F street. .

A biography of Oliver P. Morton, governor of Indiana during the Civil war, appears in Leslie's Weekly for June 21. The article is written by Lieutenant Colonel E. W. Halford, formerly private secretary of the late President Harrison, who enjoyed intimate association with the war governor. The writer describes Governor Morton as "One of the giants of the stormy days of our Civil war, who stood out a notable figure in that

period."

Employers Adopt Principles

For Industrial Relations WASHINGTON, June 23 Twelve

principles of industrial relations have been indorsed by American employers

aa represented in the United states

chamber of commerce.

A canvaBs of a referendum vote an

nounced today showed the proposal for a national employment system to have been the only article of thirteen

which failed to receive the two-thirds majority. Underlying the cardinal principle

that "the public interest requires ad

justment of industrial relations by

peaceful methods," were those declar ing "the right of workers to organize;"

that industrial harmony and pros

perity will be most effectually promot

ed by adequate representation of the

parties in interest," and that industrial relations argeements should be "faith

fully observed."

Other declarations approved were that wages "should be reduced only when the possibility of reduction of costs in all other directions has been exhausted," that every man is en

titled to an opportunity to earn a liv

ing wage and that "wages should be

adjusted with due regard to their purchasing power."

Fixing of a basic day as a "device

for increasing compensation" was

held to be a "subterfuge that should

be condemned."

After suffering pain, feeling nervous, dizzy, weak and dragged down by weaknesses of her sex with eyes sunken, black circles and pale cheeks such a woman is quickly restored to health by the Favorite Prescription of Dr. Pierce. Changed, too, in looks, for after taking Dr.'Pierce's Favorite Prescription the skin becomes clear, the eyes brighter, the cheeks plump. It is purely vegetable, contains no alcohol.
