The bayonet was first pronounced
absolute in the Spanish-American war.
In tho few cases where fighting was
done in the Philippines at close quar-.
tiers, the Americans used thcir guns
as clubs throwing away their bayo.
nets as a nuisance. This was also the
verdict OF the British in the Bocr war.
In the Russo-Japanese campaign, how.

with the result that the American gov.

abolish the bayonet. and this arm was
also retained by the British.
Now come the reports of the con.

One hundred years ago today,
March 3, 1915. the Thirteenth Con.
gress of the United States adjourned
after busy session. Peace having
been effected with Great Britain, the
Solons on that day repealed the non.
intercourse and non.importation acts:
they reduced the army to a peace

Of war against Alglers.
Algiers. now a prosperous and civil
lied French province whose soldiers
are fighting the battles of ia repub-
lique" In Europe, was then chiefly
famed as an abode Of pirates who
raragcd the Mediterranean, and ruled
by tyrannical despot who was little
more than pirate chief. After the
revolution American merchantmen.
men became the special prey Of the
Barbary pirates, and many vessels
were captured and their crews sold
into slavery. In 1915 the United
States entered into Illuminating
treaty, agreeing to pay the Dcy of
Algiers $4,000 year for ''protec-
tlon. When tho United states was
engaged In war with England, the
Barbary pirates resumed their attacks
on American commerce and plunder.

Early in 1916 the Dey OF Algeries
compelled Lear, the American consul,
10 pay a ransom OF $4,000, under
threat Of slavery for himself and all
his family and staff. Uncle Sam ham

was quite exhausted, and on March 8,

ToDAYs BIRTHDAY PARTY.
BY Q. Terence.
%. eeIl, inventor Of RECEPTIONS, Is s.

y 'SfS f''Si'Nt w
Today.
DIR. Graham Bell, the inventor Of the
telephone, will pass his sixty.eighth
milestone today, having been born in
Edinburgh, Scotland, on March 3, 1S47.
lhe inventor recently added another
to his list of triumphs when he talked
over a wire stretched the breadth OF
the American continent, from New
York TO San Francisco. 1t is true that
other men of inventive genius have
aided in making that achievement
possible. for the telephone Of today is
vastly different from tho crude intru.
ment invented by Bell nearly two.
score years ago, but to the Scotchmau
belongs all tho lonors OF the origin.
ator OF a new idea. Trans-continenlal
telephone communication is the vic.
tory OF many minds. over a vast mul.
tttude OF obstacles, who have made
the impossible" of yesterday tho
commonplace OF today.
Few inventors have reaped so large
a financial reward, as Or. Bell: but
there were many years Of struggling
and disappointment before the tide
turned in his favor. In It's infancy
the telephone was dismissed as an i'm.
practical toy. and tho young Scotch.
man was considered harmless sort
Of crank by the business men he
sought to interest in his invention.
DR.! Bell began his career as a
teacher of deaf.mutes In his native
Scotland, and when he emigrated to
America at the age OF twenty.four Il
was with the intention Of continuing
TO teach here. He settled first In Can.
ada, but soon removed to Boston and
became professor Of vocal physiology
at BOSTON, University. 1t was there
that he began that serious study OF
tho subject OF sound transmission
which resulted In 1876 in the inyen.r
ton OF the first telephone. When at
last lie obtained recognition for his
invention and was started on the road
10 wealth he did not forget those ,,n.
Iottunates to whom his early life had
been devoted. He founded the Amerl.
can Association to Promote Teaching
Of Speech 10 the Deaf, and gave the
organization a quarter of a million
dollars to help carry on its work.
DR.. Bell is an officer Of. the French
Legion Of Honor. and has been the
recipient Of honorary degrees from
many of the worlds greatest uniyer.
stiles, including st. Andrews, Heidel.
berg, Oxford and Harvard. While the
telephone has been adopted through.
out the world. more than two.thirds
OF the instruments in use are in the
United States. IN
