Case Not Considered Vital.

The case is not regarded as a vital
one, however, i'm view of the fact that
no American lives were lost on the
Hesperian. Though the attack on the
Hesperian was in violation Of the
German ambassadors pledge, her de
struction did not bring any specific
claims for damages or indemnities on
the part of the United States.
Since then the German government
has given even fuller pledges, promis.
ing practically to conduct its subma-
rine operations in complete conform
ity with the demands of the United
States.
The fraGment Of metal examined
by the navy department experts was
said to have been picked from the
deck of the Hesperian after the ex.
plosion.
The Hesperian sank early in Sep
TENDER off the Irish oas while max
ing her way to port after being dis
abled by the explosion. The fragment
was made Of polished steel and was
about nine inches long. 1t was SEM
to the state department by the Amer
lean embassy at London.

GERMANY DENIED CHARGE
Officially Notified United States That
Mo Teuton Submarine Was at Point

er Was Struck.

Washington, Nov. Secretary
Lansing announced that the navy de-
partment had indicated that the frag-
ment of the engine of wal which sunk
the Allan liner Hesperian was a part
of a torpedo. The German govern
ment has persistently denied that the
Hesperian was torpedoed. In the
opinion of United States naval ex-
perts the fragment could not have
been a part of a marine mine.
The secretary said the result of the
navy department investigation would
be communicated Immediately either
to the German government directly OF
to Ambassador Bernstorff.
Proof that the %Hesperian was. de-
stroyed by a torpedo is not expected
to raise any serious difficulties he.

KNOW THY COUNTRY
III---Telegrdph and Telephone

Our transportation facilities are the
most perfect product of this great com
mercial age and the telegraph and tel
ephone systems of this nation crown
the Industrial achievements of the
whole world These twin messengers
of modern civilization, born in the
skies, stand today the most faithful and
efficient public servants that ever
toiled for the human race.
They are of American nativity and
while warm from the mind of the in
ventive genius have, under arican
supervision, spun network wires
across the earth and under the seas.
Telegraphy, in its early youth, mas
tered the known world and the tele-
phone has already conquered the
earth's surface, and now stands at the
seashore ready to leap across the
ocean.
No industry in the history of the
world has ever made such rapid strides
in development and usefulness, and
none has ever exerted a more powerful
influence upon the civilization of its
day than the Telegraph and Telephone.
Their achievement demonstrates the
supremacy of two distinct types Of
American genius-invention and organ
ization.
The industry was peculiarly forum
ate in having POI inventive intel
lect at its source and tremendous
minds to direct It's organization and
growth 1t is the most perfect fruit
of the tree of American industry and
when compared with its European con-
temporaries, it thrills every patriotic
American with pride.
Ambitious youth can find no more in

spring company than the fellowship
of the giant intellects that constructed
this marvellous industry and journey
along the pathway of its development,
illuminated at every mile-post of Its
progress by the lightning.fashe of
brilliant minds, will be taken at a very
early date.
A brief statistical review of the in
dustry brings out its growth and mag
nitude in a most convincing and un-
forgetable manner.
The telephone service of the United
States is the most popular and efficient
and its rates are the cheapest of the
telephone systems of the world.
We are the greatest takers on earth.
We send 60 per cent of our communi.
cations over the telephone. The world
has about 100000 telephones and of
CHS number the United States has ap-
proximately $4,000, Europe 1920. 600
and other countries 100000. Accord
ing to the latest world telephone GEN.
sus, the total telephone investment is
$1,906, 100000 and of this amount 81.
095,000O00 was credit ed to the United
States, $636OO0,O0O in Europe and
$175,000000 in other countries. The
annual telephone conversations total
24,600, 100000 divided as follows: Unit
ed States 5,6OO,OOO,OOO; Europe $500.
100000, and other countries 100000.

mileage is 33,262,000 miles divided as
follows: United States 2O,24S,OOO, Eu-
rope 1885, 900, and other countries
2,679, 900. About six per cent of
the worlds population and sixty-one
per cent of the telephone wire mile
age Is in the United States.
