An English schoolmaster recently
gave his pupils lecture on patriotism,
says the Scottish American. He
pointed out the high motives which
moved the volunteers 70 leave their
homes and fight for their country. The
schoolmaster noticed that one boy did
not pay attention to the instruction
and as test question he asked him;
'What motives took the volunteers to
the WARP" The boy was puzzled for
a moment, then remembering the
public "send off" to the local re-
serves and volunteers at the railway
station, he replied: Locomotives,

SCHLEY FILES FORMAL PROTEST
TO VERDICT OF COURT OF INQUIRY

NEW YORK, Dec. 18-That William
Marconi's wireless experiments in New
foundland cannot be stopped by the An
gio-Ameriean Telegraph company, even
by resort TO the courts, is the assertion Of
Mr.. Marconi's representative here. They
further state that he cannot be stopped
even from transmitting commercial mes
sages.
They say the charter of the Anglo
American company, by which It claims
monopoly of telegraphic communication
between Newfoundland and other places,
was examined by counsel for the Marconi
company before an attempt was made TO
experiment in Newfoundland. They de-
cided that the charter would not interfere
with the sending of wireless messages to
and from Newfoundland even for the two
years that the charter has yet to run.
They declared in the first place that a
charter monopoly would not operate to
estop scientific experiments, and, second.
that according to English decisions such
a grant would not operate to bar an in
vention that was unknown at the time
the concession was granted.

OCEAN CABLE FIGHTS
SYSTEM OF MARCONI

Cuthbert Hall, general manager for the
Marconi Wireless Telegraph company
said in an interview:
eve are rather glad than otherwise that
this attempt to stop Mr.. Marconi mas
been made Even if we go no further IN
Newfoundland, although we can do so II
we wish, it will do us no harm. There
are other places along the coast equally
available. This interference shows. to my
mind, that the cable companies look on
US as a dangerous competitor. It rather
pleases me as an acknowledgment Of the
fact that wireless telegraphy is coming
force"
Edward Norman, counsel for the Mar
cont company, said: This action by the
AngIo-American. company is surprise to
me, as / had supposed that there would
be no hostility, direct or indirect. Before
Mr.. Marconi attempted to make expert
ments in Newfoundland I went over the
Anglo-American charter with view to
determining his rights. 1t is clear that
the company cannot stop scientific expert
ments. The company seems to have
feared active competition. and, therefore,
to have taken the bull by the horns"

The bill concludes with the statement
that the proceedings Of the majority Of
the court were irregular; that Admiral
Schley's rights have been prejudiced and
his testimony in many particulars not
considered and that the evidence is amply
sufficient to ustain the opinion which has

Admiral Schley.
