German Socialist
Want Speedy Peace
SAY RELIeERENTs DO NOT De.
SIRE WAR-WILL NOT I'M.
PERIL NATION.

BERLIN. Feb.12-The attitude. of
the Socialist party as set forth by
representatives in Prussian Diet,
shows that the Socialists have de-
cided to do nothing in the present
crisis to imperii the harmonious con.
duct of the empire, but that when
peace is declared the programme
adopted before the war will be rose
cuted vigorously.
This view was set forth by Herr
Hirsch, who read In behalf of his party
the following announcement:
THE Democratic party main.
tains Its opposition, based on princi.
pie, to the former Government policy,
which policy has remained in all ma.
terial things unchanged. The party.
however, refrains in this critical time
from introducing discussion OF a pol.
emic nature into the consideration Of
the budget on its first reading.
Herr Hirsch also mentioned the de.
sire OF the Socialists for an honorable
peace, and added:
I'VE know that this war is desired
by the people in mono OF the beiliger.
ent lands; that its end is everywhere
longed for by the people. We cherish
the confidence that the voices demand.
ing peace will grow more numerous In
all belligerent countries and will
make themselves heard in Influential
quarters and that under the influence
OF this desire for peace, especially of
the laboring classes, an assured peace
may come speedily to the we'll being
Of the German people and OF all hu.
manity.
Tho SPEAKER mentioned that among
the concessions expected of the Gov.
eminent by his party are the follow.
ing: Uniform suffrage with the Sc.
cret ballot, which was expected at the
session Of October 20 last; the ending
OF the battle waged by the police
against the labor movement In general
and especially against the Social.Dem.
ocratic party; the ending of the re.
strictions on the free expression of
thought, and other measures demand.
ed by the great mass OF people.
Herr Hirsch said also that his party
Is opposed to political oppression and
that the basis Of all political reforms
must be their equal application to all
minorities.
The Diet adjourned until February
10 after the first reading of the bud.

BY WIRELESS
PHONE III MILES
Human Voice Is Perfectly
In a Test MadeiB BY
U. s.. Navy.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 11.-spon.
sored unofficiaily by the secretary OF
the navy, a Wireless telephone inven.
tion by H. r: Dwyer, a San Francisco
man, has carried the human voice 721
miles. The conversation was ex.
changed between the United States
government radia station at Mare Is.
land and the government radio station
at Tatoosh, Cape Flattery, on the
coast of Washington.
During the test Dryers voice was
also heard at Bremerton, a distasIe
of $50 miles: at Point Arguello, at
Eureka and by the government radio
operator at San Diego.
The call sent from Mare Island was
received on wireless telegraph boards
and the replies were t%elegraphed back.
Through the perfection Of certain
parts of the new invention, Dryer
says that 1t is possible to telephone in
any kind of weather.
Dwyer asserts that he could have
been heard at 1000 miles II there had
been q radio station to receive his
message, and that with the proper
aerial, 500 to 500 feet high, there is
no reason why the human voice can.
not be distinctly audible from San
Francisco to Honolulu.

where the rainfall In the summer IL

could see great Kicks not threshed,
and other places where the. threshing
