cial companies and then sign with a
fictitious name may find themselves
quickly identified, according to wire

Is that the hand" Of an operator Is
as quickly recognized in wireless work
as in ordinary telegraphy.
Telegraphers always recognize the

sages and some out-of-town men have
regulations for beautiful sending
among Chicago operators. Wireless
men say that the mere fact that wires
have been oblltedated In their business
makes no difference to the man at the
receiving end. He can tell at once
who is sending the message II he has
heard from the same man before.
"0nly the other day received a

break in at that time without inter-

completed his work, however, I sent
him a personal call. II turned out that
he was the man Of my acquaintance.
Some of these amateurs who think
they can fool the wireless will find
themselves In peck Of trouble some
day for interfering with messages. It
Is easy to become acquainted with
their hand II they practice at all reg

may find out after all that they can
not disguise themselves. Their own

hosts Of our patriotic friends and

By the sincere and friendly tokens
and acts expressed we are glad to
note that our past services are begin

citizens Of our land, and that, as our
ranks are surely thinning and our
energies and strength waning, that
the duty Of teaching patriotism by pre-

those who will be left to take our
places, when we are finally mustered
In TO the Grand Army on the other
shore.
We realize that II Is useless for
us to attempt to enumerate those
who so generously lent assistance,
because it seemed that every citizen
was vieing with each other to assist
US in the performance Of a duty en-
Joined upon us by our laws and regu-

our efforts might have shown weak

We commend to future years the
generous and patriotic action of the
citizens of our City, and express the
hope that it will be emulated and i'm
proved upon II possible, In order that
no such human sacrifices as we were
called upon to give may be demand
