MUTINY BREAKS OUT AT BELFAST Two Companies of Troops Refuse to Gbey Orders. WAR OFFICE IS ACTIVE All Regular Artillery in Central and Southern Ireland Instructed to Hold Itself In Readiness to Proceed to Scene of Trouble, London, March 23.—A- mutiny ot two companies of the Dorsetshire regiment stationed in Belfast is re- ported by the Pall Mall Gazette. “When the men of the First bat talion of the Dorsetshire regiment were paraded in Belfast and notified that they were being transported else- where they threw down their arms, A sergeant declared, ‘We will have no home rule here,’” the Pall Mall Ga- zette message said. Athlone, Ireland, March 23.—All the regular artillery stationed in Central and Southern Ireland has been in- structed to hold itself in readiness to proceed to Ulster at a moment's no- tice. All leave has been canceled and officers and men on furlough have beer recalled. Dublin, March 23.—The first victim of the existing excitement in Ireland was a soldier at the Curragh camp who attempted to scale a wall of the barracks and was shot by a sentry. It is thought he will die. ACTIVITY AT WAR OFFICE Grave Situation in Ulster Stirs Gov- ernment Circles. London, March 23.—The utmost ac- tivity prevails at the war office and in the other departments of the gov- ernment affected by the apparently RGN grave situation in Ulster. ' Colonel John Seeley, secretary of state for war, and Winston Churehill, first lord of the admiralty, conferred at theswar offle. After the conference a statement was issued confirming_the report of the resignatlon of some army officers larvlng in Ireland and stating that these cases will be dealt with in due and normal course by General Sir Arthur Paget, the commander-in-chiet in Ireland. “In the meantime the officers con- cerned,” according to the statement, “gre pecforming their duties, which duties naturally include obedience to orders.” Meanwhile General Sir Arthur Paget continues to dispose his troops, who have orders to safeguard gov- ernment property and to maintain law and order. In order to prevent an oytburst the police in Ireland have been told not to take any steps to enforce the gun license act in cases where members of the Ulster volunteers are seen car- rying rifies in camp or elsewhere. The act empowers the authorities to seize all unlicensed firearms. The greatest danger is believed to He in the possibility of Orange and Nationalist workmen coming to blows. This might start a general conflict. King George summoned the secretary ace and also sent one of his private secretaries to the premier’s residence in Downing street to secure the latest information. L R RO R R R SAYS INTERMARRIAGE OF .. RACES IS FAILURE. San Francisco, March 23— Mrs. Elvide C. Cheng, white wife of Dr. Enseng W. Cheng, a Chinese physician of Boston, was granted a divorce in the superior court on the grounds of extreme cruelty. After six years of married life, during which she endeavored to adapt herself to the Oriental modes of life, Mrs. Cheng admitted to the court that so far as she was concerned intermarriage of the white and yellow races- was a fajlure. ~'++‘l-+++++++-!-'1-++++—1-++++ Bt e o e 2 2 0 b b T e o R T o o o bk kel of state for war to Buckingham pal-{ ILL HEALTH PROBABLE GAUSE Californian Ends Llf. at Hour Bol 'nr Wedding.

It sald: “I amnot fit to marry one so noble as you. I haven't the heart to marry you or face you. It would be a crime, go I am ending my life.” The small package accompnnying the note contained the wedding ring. Bandit Loaded With Dynamite. Corona, Cal, March 23.—George W.

Co. | Telephone Service of Today the Creation-of the Bell Co, - ' In no line of human endeavor has the in- ventive brain -of the-scientist contributed more to the world’s progress than by the creation of the art of telephony, of which the Bell system is the embodiment. ‘When the telephone was born, nothing analogous to telephone service as we now know it existed. There was no tradition to guide, no experjence to follow. The system, the apparatus, the methods —an entire new art had to be created. The art of electrical engineering did not exist. The Bell pioneers, recognizing that success depended ypon the highest engin- eering and technical skill at once organized an experimental and re search department which is now directed by a statf of over 550 engineers and scientists, - including former professors, post-graduate students, scientific investigators—the graduates of over: 70 universities. From its foundation the company has continuously developed the art. New- im- provements in :telephones, switchboards, lines, cables, have followed one another with remarkable rapidity. ‘While each successive type of apparatus to the superfical observer suggested sim- ilarity, each gtep in the evolution: marked a decided improvement. These changes, this evolution, has not only been continu- ous, but is continuing. Substantially all of the plant now in use, including tele- phones, switchboards, cables and wires, has been constructed, renewed or reconstructed in the past 10 years. Particularly in switchboards have the changes been so radical that installations - costing in the aggregate millions have fre- quently been discarded .after only a few years of use. Since 1877 there have been introduced 53 types and styles of receivers and 73 types and styles of transmitters. Of the 12,000,000 telephone receivers and trans- mitters owned by the Bell Company Janu- ary 1, 1914, none were in use prior to 1902, while the average age is less than five years. Within 10 years we have expended for construction and reconstruction an amount more than equa: to the present book value of our entire plant. Long-distance and underground transmis- sion was the most formidable scientific problem -confronting the telephone ex- perts. The retarding effect of the earth on ‘the telephone current often impaired con- version through one mile underground as much’as through 100 miles overhead. Over- head eonversalmn had its distinet limita- tions. No possible improvement in the tele- phone transmitter could of itself solve these difficulties. The solutioh was only found in the cumu- lative effect of improvements, great and small, in telephone, transmitter, line, ca- ble, switch board, and every other piece of apparatus or plant required in ‘the trans- mission of speech. While the limit of commercial overhead talking had increaseq from strictly loecal to over 1,000 miles as early as 1893, it was not until 1905 that conversation could S be had over long-distance circaits of which as much as 20 miles was in underground cables,” By 1906 underground talking dis- tance had increased to 90 miles. By 1912 it ‘was possible to talk underground from New York to Washington. It was then that the construction of un- der ground conduits from Boston to Wash- ington was determined upon,—mot that it was expected to get—a through under- ground talk between those places, but in case of storm or blizzard, to utilize inter- mediate sections in connection with the overhead. Our pergistent study and incessant ex- perimentation have produced results more remarkable ‘still. We have perfected cables, apparatus and methods that have overcome obstacles heretofore regarded as insuperable both-to long distance overheaq and underground ‘conyersation. Undergrounq conversation is now pos- sible between Boston and Washington, four times 'the length of the longest Euro- pean under ground line. This enabled the Bell System in the recent great storm, so destructive on land and sea, to maintain communication for the public between all * the principal points on the Atlantic sea- board. ‘. «_ Telephone communication is established be between New York and Denver, is po- tentially possible between all points in the United States, and by 1915 will be an ac- complished fact between New York and San Francisco. In our use of methods or apparatus we are committed to no one system. We own, control or have the, Jright to use in- ventions necessary to operate any system recognized or accepted as the most effici- ent. The Bell System must always recog- nize, and in its selection must always be governed by the necessities of a national service, with its complex requirements, ‘which is intinitely more exacting than lo- cal or limited service. These achievements represent vast ex- Denditures of money and immense concen- tration of effort which have been justified by results of immeasurable benefit to the public. No local company unaided could ‘bear the financial or scientific burden of this work. Such results are possible only through a centralized general staff, avoid- ing wasteful duplitation of effort, working out problems common to all for the benefit of all. . The prioneers of the Bell System recog- nized that telephone service as they saw it, was in the broadest sense a public utility; that upon them rested a public obligation 1o give the best possible service at the most reasonable rates consistent with risk, in- vestment and the continued improvement and maintenance of its property. Without this expenditure of millions and <concentration of effort, the telephone art as it exists could not have been developed. What we have done in working out these great problems in the past should be accepted as a guarantee of what we will do in the future. THEO. N. VAIL, President.
