WIRELESS OPERATOR OF MOUNT
 TEMPLE TELLS HIS STORY

St. John, N. B., April 25.---J. Dur rant. Marconi wireless operator on the steamer Mount Temple, told tonight the following story of the wireless telephone calls he picked up from the sinking Titanic:
 q was lying in bed reading with the telephone over my ear al 12:11 o'clock New York time, when I caught the first call. Immediately getting out of bed I answered, asking the position of the ship. This was sent back with addition, Come at once; have struck berg,
 "As soon as I got the message l notified the captain, who doubled the watch of hremen below, called all hands on deck and changed the ships course toward the position of the IT. tanic. Then I went back to my instru- nient. I didn't call the Titanic again because other ships, which I judged to be closer, were working and I did not wish to jam them At 12:21 heard the Carpathia answer the e. Q. D. calls of the Titanic and at 12;34 heard the Frankfurt answer.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-04-26

All this time the c. Q. D. message was being sent out necessarily and at 1;O6 l heard the Olympic answer the call To this steamer the Titanic said Cap tain says get your boats ready Going down fast by the head Five minutes later the Frankfurt struck in with: Our captain will go to you.'
 Al 1:2l the Olympic sent another mes sage which the Titanic answered, say- ing: We are putting the women off in the boats Another five minutes waiting passed when the agonizing C. Q. D. again cut the air, accompanied by the words; Engine room flooded Six min utes afterwards the Olympic sent mes sage to the Titanic which the latter barely acknowledged by the code letters R. D. That was the last message I heard
 It was 4;40 a. m. when we arrived at the position of the Titanic, having been much delayed by the ice.
 At the time I received the first mes- sage l would judge the Mount Temple to be 50 miles from the Titanic's position and when the big ship went down there still was 20 os 25 miles between us"

 The school wisely, under MT. Pu- litzer's limitation, takes its students from the high school Everyone of us knows that in this art--a poor art r. may be, but still our own-every year in which entrance on our task Is de- ferred deprives us of that instant ap- prohension of the immediate which is the essence of journalism"
 MT Williams outlined the course of studies and practical schooling, and continued
 'I believe that the young student will go out ready to become a journal ist aware that he enters on the most difficult, the most ardous. but the most interesting, the most important and the most inspiring of tasks given to the minds. and still more, to the hearts, of thinking men"
 Toast to Marconi
 Although William Marconl was unable to be present. rising toast was drunk in his honor also and then President Fin ley of the College of the City of New York spoke in humorous vein.
 Augustus Thomas. the playwright, told of his newspaper experiences.
 T was on a newspaper once, he said. and once Is often enough. I was called lHtD the newspaper .DuSlnfHS HNh callcti many times after l got into it-by the city editor
 "f find that one of the most hopeful and helpful things about any situation,' 9 he continued, lis to have something the matter with if. There must always be trouble" and the speaker quoted a long list of historical troubles from Moses driving his progressive minority across the Red Sea-. to the trouble with the primary election in Illinois"
 "The Important thing Is the work that is done and not the material 1t is done with" he added. Tt is fine to build up a paper, but 1t is finer to build up a man. The service is worth nothing if the news is not true. There is no bus mess that can be built up successfully if 1t destroys the man. and there is no man that can be built up successfully if the spirit working in the man is de- stroyed and the spirit is writing it's rec ord on every face, whether or deceit or truth, and we find after all that in the finish we are in excellent company and God Himself is in the publishing busi- ness

Need of Strong People

No nation can long survive the shock of time except through the strength de- rived from the character of it's people That strength must assuredly be based upon faith and upon ideals. There never was greater need of those who preach d true and reasonable earnestness which shall touch and teach some higher con- sderation than those with which the money changers in the temple were con- cerned.
 Gentlemen of the Associated Press, if there be anything of truth in what | have urged, 1t touches none of us more vitaly than yourselves. You are the fourth estate. You should be the bull wark of democratic idealism. Honest and highminded publicity is the most faith ful friend of good government and there can be no effective public opinion on n great continent like this without the aid of a powerful, independent and uncor- rupted press. To you have been given tho 10 talents, your power Is great and your opportunities as well. But equally great is your responsibility. There is no more important factor in the future de- velopment of national life, whether In the United States or Canada, than the just fuhllnent of that responsibility.
 Speaking to the press of both coun- tries, may I express my firm conviction that upon you depends in large measure the continued existence and strength of the happy relations which prevail be- tween this great republic and the en- pire to which Canada owns proud al- lapianger

Premier Borden Speaks
 His speech in part follows:
 "I esteem it not only a pleasure but privilege to address the distinguished gathering which is assembled tonight at the annual banquet of the Associated Press. That l am enabled to do so at this great distance is a striking exam pie of the wonderful triumphs over time and space which have been achieved within the past quarter of a century
 During that time the development and progress in all things material have been infinitely greater than those which have been attained in any corresponding period of recorded human history It must be admitted also that the average standard of living among the great mass of the people has greatly advanced during the same period and that the reasonable com forts of life are enjoyed more widely thaii ever before. But the vast increase of wealth has been attended with an enor- nous and alarming inequality in it's dts tribution.
 Tt cannot be denied that this ineuuali- ty is attended with certain danger or even menace to the existence of demo- cratic institutions. Equality of results can never be expected or attained un- der an individualistic system of national organization. But no democracy is built upon an enduring foundation If it fails to- endow it's citizens with equality Of opportunity, so far as that may be hu- namely possible.
