TO TALK TO EUROPE

PARIS, oct. 22.-C7:3O p. M
The experiments which resulted in the
successful transmission this week Of
the human voice by wireless telephone
between Arlington, Virginia, and the
Eiffcl tower here, were begun last
June at the request Of the naval bu-
reau at Washington.
Lieutenant Commander w. r..
Sayles naval attache at the American
embassy to France, conducted the eX-
periments on this side of the ocean
and he was assisted by H. II. Shreeve
Of the American Telephone q Tele-
graph CO., who brought the apparatus
from the United states.
Although the Eiffel tower is con-
stantly in use for military telegraphy.
the French government readily agreed
to suspend all communication, both
from the Eiffel tower and other
French wireless stations at intervals,
so as to give the Americans every
opportunity. The experiments even
went on during the battle Of Cham
payne.
Colonel Ferrie, an electrical spe-
cialist i'm the French army has given
much time personally to watching the
experiments and he made sugges-
tion which is said undoubtedly to have
resulted Wednesday i'm the receipt
from Washington of messages Of great
length with the utmost clearness.

~ The British foreign office this
evening made public the report Of the
Rev. H. S. n. Gahan. the British
chaplain in Brussels, who visited Miss
Edith Cavcll just before her execution
and Il letter from Brand Whitlock, the
American minister to Belgium to
Walter Hines Page, the American am
bassador In London. I'm his letter Mr..
WhltIock says he requested that the
body of Miss Cavell be delivered to
the school for nurses Of which she was
the dlrestress, his request being re-
ferred to the ministry Of war in Berlin.
The Reverend Gahan i'm his report
said:
"On Monday evening, the 18th OF
october, ! was admitted Icy a special
passport, from the German authori-
ties to the prison OF St GILES, where
Miss Edith Cavell had been confined
for ten weeks. The final sentence
had been given early that afternoon.
To my astonishment and relief I

resigned, but this could not lessen the
tenderness and intensity OF feeling on
either part during that last interview
lasting almost an hour

to the Serbo-G Greek treaty of alliance
which would mean her military aid

The reply Of Greece to the offer,
which reached the foreign office to-

has not been made pubic there is
reason to believe that the Hellenic

warning Turkey that continued per-
secution Of Armenians would ALLEVIATE
the friendship of the American peo-

Started.
MANY MEMS GLASSES
Winter Program Now Be
ing Prepared and Will
Be a Wonder.

According to a report made by the
physical director to the board Of di-
rectors of the Y. NJ. c. A.. 1,734 men
and boys took part in the work dur
ing the period of informal classes,
which was from the arrival Of the di-
rector, August 23, to the opening,
September 81. About one-third Of
this number were men. During this
period 81 classes were conducted, 30
for men and the remainder for the
boy members.
The swimming pool was even more
popular. there being a total Of 3,122
who took advantage Of the inviting
tank. In this department the men
showed more interest than the boys
There were 1852 adults in the pool,
with 1.26O boys. one of the reasons
for the demand in this department
was the warm weather, but the or
ganization Of clubs is expected to
keep the interest up during the win
ter
one of the features which is not
included in the gymnasium partlcl-
pants is $50 men who used the exer-
cising rooms, which are adjoining to
the main gym" These We're pOpu-
lar with those who did not feel them
selves equal to the regular classes but
wished to get into a better condition
before taking up the work.
Winter Program.
Announcement will be made i'm a
few days of the entire winter pro-
gram Many activities have already
been set on foot, such as the organi-
zation of a swimming and life-saving
corps, the invitation to schools to use
the privileges once a week, and the
forming Of an efficient corps Of
leaders who will assist the director in
| the department. IL is probable that
boxing. wrestling and fencing will be
added. as will many other novel fea-
lures.
The large number Of members who
| have taken advantage Of the priyi-
leges Of the physical department 'e
the more remarkable on account Of
the fact that there has been no cam
paign or publicity. Those who have
come to the association have joined
without any solicitation. but merely
with the idea Of using Tulsa's great

JAPANESE SCHOOLS
AND CITIZENSHIP

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin,
Sir:-About SO often there appears
In some enc Of the daily papers Of this
city an article on Japanese conduct
that might lead to United States citi.
zenship. II = generally an admonition
to the local Japanese by some one Of
their own nationality from their own
country, to be good citizens, mind the
laws and all that There appeared an
article along these lines in last Satur-
days Star.Bulletin under the usual
heading: Say Japanese Must Be
Good United States Citizens" So must
every other nationality that are for.
tunate enough to become residents Of
this territory, but one does not hear
emissaries from their country CONT.
nually preaching to that effect
According to the story from Hilo,
regarding the association formed
there for this express purpose. the
very first statement by one Of the
speakers. that Japanese-Americans
should be good citizens which in
cludes every condition from obeying
the laws of the land to lighting with
the United States against any foreign
nation, especially Japan, was hissed.
i quote from one OF the. speakers
there:
eYour position as members Of this
club is not going to be an easy one.
The old Japanese people are going to
make 1t hard for you to be American
citizens" ~
That appears to be the situation ex-
actly, as the writer sees II. There
does not seem to be any further COM
ment needed on the subject The
question Of japanese becoming good
citizens is fully answered IN the
quoted statement above. J.
can never believe, and there are
possibly few others In this city who
agree with me, that Oriental immi.
grants in Hawaii, that build. estab-
fish, maintain and support hundreds
Of schools of their own nationality
throughout the territory, and force
their children to attend during the
early morning hours Of the day, and
again in the afternoon after they
have attended q session Of the public
schools, cautioning them to never for.
get they are Japanese, can never be
come good citizens, or have any de-
sire to become such.
Do we ever hear of the immigrants
Of any other natibn establishing
schools OF their own nAtionality here,
and forcing their children to attend
them twice q day II they or their chill.

mainland city and, moreover, there is a natur-
ally lively opposition here to anything that
savors of absentee landlordism in public affairs.
It is the well founded boast of Hawaii that it
has made wonderful progress, industrially and
socially, to its status as an American common
wealth. Honolulu has accepted the RESPONSE
bilities of local self government, and having
accepted, must make good.
Making good means making progress, keep
ing pace with the governmental methods and
features of organization which are so rapidly
increasing the efficiency of mainland cities.
For many years American cities were admitted
to be the worst-g governed in the Occident. The
reproach of that condition is passing, for
American cities are dethroning the boss and
electing to responsive office men who make city
government an honest business.
4 Discarded methods and discredited leaders
havep1o place in the government of Honolulu.
This city should be satisfied with nothing but
the best. We have q right to demand in city
government progress proportionate to the pro-
gress that the people of the territory are max
ing a private business and human relations
industrially and socially. 1t is unthinkable
that city whose leading men are distinguished
for energy, progressiveness and grasp of af-
fairs in their own businesses, should Be con-
tent with government for which excuses must
be made
Honolulu has q right to guard jealously its
local self government. And yet some of the
very men who yell the loudest at the thought
of government by federal commission will
work to perpetuate municipal organization
which encourages favoritism and patronage
politics.
