The Wireless Tn to Date.

1t seems that there is real promise
mt practical success In transatlantic
'Sruperation Of wireless telegraphy. Mar
'e.rcni who has been slowly and careful
&JU perfecting his apparatus and mas
c&sring the difficulties Of long distance
transmission of the Hertz waves, Is so
gnatisfled with his results that he has
made definite promises Of commercial
cutility for his system. He is perfect
Ting his plant at Glaze bay, Nova Sco-
tia, and the European station at Cliff
son, Ireland. He expects to begin with
III charge Of 10 cents a word, with
'rrents a word for government and press
2Eispatcbes, and to cut these charges
g,ssr operation. These rates will involve
n great saving over the usual cable
SOILS and If the system works salts
EActorily will probably compel lower
ting of rates by the cable companies
,.Gnd stimulate the formation of other
@transatlantic wireless companies.
Thus far wireless communication on
Gland has not as a rule been able to
Srompete with established telegraph
accompanies, and attempts to communi-
gate across the ocean have not been
sxc uniformly successful as to enable
CINE experimenters to provide regular
aaervice. The chief value Of the in
7,7ention has been as q means Of en-
cabling ships at sea to communicate
~Utth land stations. Nearly all the big
Miners and warshlps nowadays are it,
NED out with the wireless apparatus.

CHOICE MISCELLANY
The Old Liberty Bell,

Contrary to general belief, the old
Liberty bell is not the property of the
nation or Of the city of Philadelphia.
but of four sisters who are heirs Of
John Wilbank. the man who made the
new bell shortly after the old one was
cracked and who took the old bell as
part payment. According to the Home
Magazine, three Of the sisters-Mrs.
James p. McClosky, Mrs. G. d. Emcr-
son and Mrs. S. r. Coward-live in
Philadelphia. The fourth. Mrs. S. w.
b Diehl, lives in Washington.
BY an order of the assembly of the
province Of Pennsylvania the Liberty
bell was cast by an English founder
in 1851. Soon after arriving in this
country the bell broke, but was recast
from the same metal in the same form
and with the original inscription, "Pro.
claim liberty throughout the land"
The ownership passed from provin-
cial authorities to the state, but in
1918 it was purchased by the city of
Philadelphia, together with the old
statehouse and grounds. During the
celebration over the arrival Of Lafa-
yette in 1924 the bell was rung so Wig
orously it became cracked and n few
months later was ordered replaced by
new bell cast by John Wilbank. The
latter bell is hanging in the steeple of
Germantown hall.
Aberdeen herald. [volume] (Aberdeen, Chehalis County, W.T.) 1886-1917, 1907-11-18

In the eyes of foreigners there are
some startling defects In the personnel
Of our navy. Perhaps the principal
one is the age Of the flag officers and
captains. Not navy in the world
numbers so many men of advanced
years in command. All our admirals
are between sixty and sixty-two 1t is
probable that in the event Of war last
ing a year not one-half Of the officers
at present In command would possess
the physical vigor to remain on active
duty.
The extreme youth and lack Of eXpe-
rience Of the main part Of the crews
Of these ships Is another weakness.
The percentage Of veterans in the COM
plement Of each vessel is small. Our
battleships are much underOff1cered
with experienced subordinate officers,
gun division officers particularly.
The men-of-war of all other nations
carry many more officers than ours
and more experienced than the Ameri-
can youngsters now available for such
positions. This gap between our veter-
ans and youthful men and command
ers is due to the neglect Of congress,
which permitted Ave years to elapse
after the Spanish-American war be-
fore the number Of midshipmen was
increased at Annapolis. - Broadway
Magazine.

Will England Drop Japan


Perhaps the most immediate effect Of
the Anglo Russian agreement recently
signed at st. Petersburg will be to in
cline the British imperial government
to heed the demands of the colonies
for Japanese exclusion. II the ALL
ance with Japan Is now dead letter
Great Britain will be free to permit
her colonies to shut out the Japanese.
England was confronted with an EN-
barrassing and possibly dangerous sit
uation when her colonies insisted upon
excluding her own allies. Sooner or
later the imperial government would
have been forced to affront an ally or
risk the disaffection Of powerful colo
MES. If it Is now possible to placate
the colonies the British government
will do it. If Japans army and navy
are no longer necessary to British Sc
curity in India the pressure from the
colonies is likely to be stronger than
the moral obligation to observe prof
itless compact with Japan. The first
evidence of the strength Of the new
agreement with Russia, therefore, will
probably be shown by stiffening in
the British policy toward japanese ex-
clusiOn in Canada, Australia and AZ
RIGA.
Great Britain has never in her long
history gone out Of her way to help
another power, whether an ally or not,
unless there was profit in the move
for her. If japan cannot help her she
is not likely to help Japan. The treaty
Of alliance may survive, but 1t may
not be In force and effect. British in
fiuence is supposed to have inspired
the dispatches from London which lay
stress upon the assumption that If the
United States and Japan should clash
Great Britain would not feel herself
bound to assist her ally as against the
United States.
That Japan recognizes the changed
position Of affairs Is indicated by the
marked change in her attitude toward
the rest Of the world. There Is con-
spicuous moderation Of the tone Of
communications from the government
at Tokyo. The sudden hush in the
warlike talk that followed the intima-
ton that the United States was about
to transfer its battle fleet to the Pa
cific is, to say the least, significant, es-
pecially as 1t was synchronous with
the announcement Of the conclusion Of
the long and difficult diplomatic nego-
tiations that preceded the agreement
between Japan's allies and the Russian
government. Perhaps the British out
break against japanese labor in Brit
ish Columbia and the awkward situa-
ton created for Japan thereby had
something to do with 1t, but the great
er probability Is that the Anglo Rus
sian alliance was the moderating In
fuence.
