"HE French Railway and Telegraph Companies are trying the
plan Of numbering the hours Of the day in their timetables
from one to twenty-four-one being 1 o'clock in the morn
ing and twentyiour being the following midnight. This plan does
away with the need Of Distinguishing between day and night, A. NJ.
or P. NJ, and so is supposed to save time and confusion. Italy has
had the scheme in force for several years. ,..
just the same the French public is not delighted with it. 1t may
ave time in time. Just now, however, when a Frenchman hurries
intoNs railway station and asks what time the next train goes TO
Lyons it makes him peevish to be told it leaves at "seventeen min
rcs past twenty" BY the time he has figured out that that means
seventeen minutes past eight the train is likely to have several min.

4 BOvE al the dust that has been thrown up to cloud the
real issue Of why no news Of the Titanic disaster got
- through the wireless operators on the Carpathia q question
still burns bright and undimmed.
Exactly what are the principles Of the Marconi business code3
The World perfectly agrees that Mr.. Marconi is a great bcnc-
fsctor Of humanity. The World ~begrdges no newspaper an exclusive
story. The World sees no reason why any telegraph operator, Mar
conf or other, should not from his own experience and by word Of
mouth furnish . newspaper with such . story.
What The World would like Is an explanation Of the following
1cts:
One Of the sta6 correspondents Of The World was a passenger
On the Carpathia. For four days after the catastrophe that corrc-
spondent presented to the wireless office on the Carpsthia, for trans
ui4ion Alike any other messages, dispatches to this Office.
Those dispatches were never sent. Other messages were.
M The chief engineer Of the American Marconi Company admits
.6ting made arrangements with . New York paper for the Marconi
pescstcrs on the Carpathis 10 sell their personal stories. He also
tdmts having sent them messages urging them to hold their stories
.of four figures"
sr Now precisely how much discretion does the Marconi Company
csnfsr upon is employees, OF permit those employees to assume, -
regards holding up or delaying messages from the public whose con-
tents do not happen to further tho private plans Of the company or
it, employees?
What -vould happen II an employee Of the Western Union or
other land telegraph company should suddenly take to laying aside
psess messages because he, or his company. or both, felt that he could
tell the news better and more ~profitahly with his own lpsa
Does tho Marconi Company propose to reserve to itself or to its
employees such q rightf ..,tt
That is the question.
