"I do not know whether ' you! v/ould consider Increasing telephone growth generally throughout this district as* an indication of improving times," continued Mru Smith, "but the faot stands that the record of I May this year is substantially ahead of May last year and this improved condition ls continuing.

Besisgera Took to Using Liquid Fir? and tho Brave Defender? at Last Had to Give Woy Before Tremendous Odds-Few Survivors Who Surren dered Were In Desperate Condition. Fort Voui, which waa taken by the j Germana in their adrases toward Vcr- j dun, France, had b?sn prsctlcally *>e- j sieged for ninety days before it felL Poris newspapers estimate that lt cost 1 the Germans 100,000 men to capturo the fort. Wheu the situation at Inst became critical tho commandant, Chief of Battalion Itayual, a tried soldier, who | hnd risen from tho ranks, bsd hardly more than 1,000 men with whom to continue the defense. His task was to hold the half ruined fort against over whelming masses of Infantry, support ed by more than 100 Latteries cf heavy guns. Re-cufdrcetnents could not reach him owing to the tertiblo efficacy of tho German fire. For a week, alone and unaided, be mid his tuen held out against' very great odds. Two companies of Ger mans worn already Installed in a ditch j of the northern bastion, and after three ? days that position hud to bb abandoned by the French. Raynal then withdrew to the central redoubt Ho waa still abie to commu nicate at.night with thc main body, and one of the last messages sent was that whatever happened he would nev- j er surrender. He kept his word. Step by step the Germans advanced from! the west and south, gradually narrow ing the circle surrounding the fort Messengers Volunteer. ;i Every night Raynal dispatched vol unteer messengers to General Nivelle to Inform bim of the., progress of events. Not ono lu Ore of .these mes- ? sengers got through. At 8t50. o'clock one morning an officer from the .French lines managed] In. too darkness to crawl through the ' German cordon and reach tho redoubt! whero Raynal was holdlug ont The| German artillery was still pounding in cessantly nt the roofs of the vaults, where the garrison had taken refuge. The officer succeeded!tu returning to the French lines and reported the des-, perato condition of tho survivors. Tho fighting of tho two previous days had been awful. Whole German regi ments at one stage tried to advance against the western bastion? where two batteries of fleldpleces were posted. They were met with ? point blank dre I and annihilated. One company climb-! ed to within sixty yards.of .the guns, ! but could get no farther. Several Ger man assaults were repulsed only after | violent hand to hand lighting. Y When at last' the assailants reached j tho principal cutry they were' met by a counterattack, the garrison making use of their ride butti, knives and fists ? end even their steel hoinieta. which .they hold by thc .-strap and swung like j mucos.

He ha? been wounded several times in the present war. - Seven days of terrific bombardment, added to many previous periods of I bombardment of less Intensity, had re duced'tho fort to little more than ? ruin.
