) THEATRE Vw
For almost three hours London's anti
aircraft guns banged away last night,
ending an intermittent curtain of steel
into the air iu the hope of barring the
way to the Gorman airmen. There were
four raiding squadrons. Two eluded the
barrage fire and dropped explosives
over southwest London.
Other machines left a trail of bombs
on various counties. The exact extent
of the damage and casualties had not
been announced early today.
The Germans selected an ideal night
lor their sixth rail m eight days. It
was clear and the moon was full. Lon
don expected a raid and quickly "took
cover" when the warning signals were
sounded. Many of the city's activities,
however, continued. Several theatres
ran without intermission.
As much ammunition as that expend
ed in a small sized battle at the front
was shot into the air. The rattle of
falling shrapnel on the roofs and iu the
streets was constant over some sec
tions. .
Counter Attacks Violent.
London, Oct. 2. Violent German
counter-attacks by great forces of spec
ially picked troops against recently
gained British positions along the
bloody Ypres sector were all repulsed
by British defenders, ' Field Marshal
Haig reported toaay. rso less man live
of thesa blows were struek by the en
emy during the night between the
Ypres-Menin road ana the northeast cor
ner of Polygon wood, tne uritisn com
mander in chief stated. All failed in a
withering fire from the British rifles,
machine guns and the barrage from
field pieces, except one dash, which
swept over two small advanced posts.
These were held tenaciously by the en
emy. The same driving desperation in
counter blows was reported from Zonne
beke to south of the Ypres-Boulers rail
way. - Haig declared the enemy had suffer
ed very heavy losses in the fruitless at
tacks. From the German tactics of almost
feverishly inspired counter-attacks plus
Haig's silence on his own moves during
the past few days, it was confidently
predicted here today that another big
British drive is impending.
The Germans have apparently sensed
this and are striving by every means to
Trench Inflict Losses.
Paris, Oct. 2. Freneh troops threw
back with heavy losses to the enemy
two strong German attacks around Beau
niout, today' official statement assert
ed. - Around Craoane and on the right
bank of the Meuse the war office reported-
an artillery duel.
BRITISH AIR RAID.
Amsterdam, Oet. 2. British airmen
who Sunday night bombarded German
stations behind the lines, destroyed fif
ten Gotha aeroplanes at St. Denis and
Westrom and wrecked a troop train,
killing many, according to messages re
ceived here today from Bluis.
200 TURKS KILLED.
London, Oet. 2. Not only was the
Turkish divisional commnader and a
great force of his troops taken by Gen
eral Maude in tfia recent victory in

Washington, Oct. 2. The fuel ad
ministration's order limiting retailer's
profits should cut anthracite price
generally and lower bituminous prices
on certain grades the United Press
was informed today. Coke prices should
drop throughout the country.'

gation of retailers' profits conducted

drop fifty cents ncr ton, anthracite 15
to zv cents in tne case or the largest

New York, Oct. 2. The New York
Evening Sun financial review today
said:
Today's stock market was weak and
sluggish end altogether symptomatic
of prevailing conditions within, securi
ties circles at their worst, save for a
vigorous rally at the close. In the first
hour or so there were indeed animated
intervals on both buying and selling
sides. As has been the case recently,
the railroads started the list on the
down grade.' The impulse to liquida
tion was imparted by orrenngs or col
lateral behind foreign loans. Whenev
er the railroad department shows on
inclination to advance, these offerings
are forthcoming, in the railroad situa
tion itself there is nothing in particu
lar to give confidence that prices for
that class of stocks will advance in
the near future. Accordingly, offering
of foreign collateral forces other liqui
dation. Sometimes the industrial list
withstands the pressure thus communi
cated. It may even advance in apite of
it. But just now it is confronted with
a more or less widespread idea of many
holders that the thing to do ia to sell
storks in order to puftbe proceeds in
the liberty loan. ' '

Mobilizing by Telephone
Scattered all over the country, in every State in the Union, are the
training and mobilization camps of the soldiers of the Republic.
Here, men are being specially trained to lead; there, the raw recruits
'are being whipped into shape; here, men are learning the art of flying
and there drilling with the big guns.
It has been a part of the task of Bell System, to supply telephone serv
ice and equipment for this important phase of the nation's military activ
ity and for the many camps where our citizen-soldiers have been tempor
arily concentrated.
Each important camp has its special switchboards with a trained oper
ating force; pole lines linking even the farthest outposts with headquar
ters, and bringing all under direct central control. '
Many new lines have been built to give ample connections with the
headquarters of military departments, state capitals and With a National
capital. This has required large additions to central office equipment in
adjacent towns and cities and large increases in the number of operators.
The great military cantonments in various parts of the country now
under construction, which will house more than 600,000 men, will require
a vast additional amount of telephone apparatus and equipment
In addition to the. constantly increasing needs of the Government for.
telephone service and equipment, we must also meet the great and grow
ing needs of countless industries expanded and accelerated by the war.
Only by the most conservative use of every available resource, can these
great demands for telephone service be adequately met.

The newspaper Solidarity on August
