headed by the military escort in khaki
uniforms. Following the soldiers came the
cross bearer and his cross, and then the
supplied choir to the number Of about
forty. The attendant clergy marched next
and behind them the celebrant of the mass
and his assistants. Bringing up the rear
was the right reverend bishop in his pur-
pie robes and cappa magma, with his as
sistant deacons, Rev. c. Mugan, Rev. ].
F. Mccarthy and Rev. Michael OConnor.

The soldiers stopped in the great CEN
trail aisle down the rows of seats which
had been provided, the choir seated itself
to one side of the altar and the clergy
took seats Immediately in front Of the
altar, the bishop and his celebrant of the
mass with his assistants taking their place
under the affairs canopy.

gospel side of the altar, and by his pres

Sa~ transferred from one operator to
another by what was known as the trans
fer. Later this plan was eliminated by
the adoption of the multiple switchboard.
Then came the establishment of branch
exchanges with trunk connections, and in
these branches 1t was found that a large
percentage of the originating calls in any
one of the exchanges is for a subscriber in
some exchange other than the originating
one. For this reason, the subscribers null
tiple, which is placed within reach of the
A, or originating operators, is used very
little, often 80 per cent of the calls being
trunked to other exchanges. Thus an ex-
penslve part of the central Office equipment
does not fulfil the requirement of elimina-
ting the extra operator in making a connec-
ton between two subscribers.
1.-THE present tendency in large cities"
says the Electrical Review, lis to eliminate
the subscribers multiple and treat every
call as a trunked call. While this system
is gaining favor over exchanges with the
multiple system as used today in leading
cities, II is far from being as economical in
first cost or in operating expenses a
system which may be called the semi-auto-
matte. Such a system, generally speaking,
embodies the valuable principles of both
the manual and the automatic. 1t elimi-
mates a good number OF the operators who
are found in the manual system, and avoids
the complicated mechanism found in the
automatic system. 1t utilizes the tele-
phones at the present time employed in the
manual common battery system. Its oper-
alton is briefly this: a subscriber. upon
lifting his receiver from the hook, oper-
ates in the main ONCE a line relay similar
to that used IN the modern lamp signal
board, but this instead of lighting a line
lamp. energizes a simple selector switch
which selects an operator who is not busy
and, in turn, selects a connecting cord
which is not busy and lights the lamp
associated with this cord. The current
lighting this lamp passes through low
wound relay, which connects the operator

ands gathered in front of the altar. With
bowed heads. they seemed lost In devotion.
1t needed the soldiers, the fifty flags in a
circle around the assemblage, and the
graves on the hill to complete the picture
of the homage Of a people for the men who
died for their country.
After a short program OF national airs
by the band the mass was celebrated, re-
quiring about an hour. The full choir OF
male voices, under the direction of Joseph
Schenck, and accompanied by the bass
horns of the band, sang the beautiful
hymn of the sequence of the mass the
Dies Irae. AS its solemn strains f1oated
over the green amphitheater it seemed that
not a man could longer keep his hat/on his
head, though before some had worn thom to
shield their faces from the sun.
