RED CROSS PRINTS
MILLIONS OF SEALS

NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-Two hundred
million Red Cross Christmas seals are
now being printed and distributed by
the American Red Cross and the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis. The pro-
ceeds from the sale of these seals will
go for the fight against tuberculosis in
the communities where the seals are
sold.
The organization Of the Red Cross
seal sale this year will take in every
state and territory of the United
States, including Hawaii, Porto Rico
and the canal zone. By Dec. 1 over
100000 workers, men, women and chill
dren, will be engaged in the campaign
The sale in 1914 broke all previous
records, totaling over 100000 seals
an Increase of % per cent over 1913
After deducting all expenses, this left
nearly $500,000 for tuberculosis worl
in this country. The money has beer
and is being expended by over 2,00t
different agencies who benefited from
the sale in amounts ranging from
$100 or less to over $25,000.
The American Red Cross announce
that it will continue it's previous sue
cessful policy of charging only 10 pc
cent of the gross proceeds to stat'
anti-tuberculosis associations, thereb.

ITALIANS CAPTURE $4,000;
FORCE 100000 OUT OF ACTION

UDINE, Italy, (via Paris) Oct. 25.-
The Italian army is making a general
attack along the whole line from Swift
zerland to the Adriatic
In the preceding five months of the
Austro-Italian war the efforts of the
Italians have been directed at the
penetration of Austrian territory and
capture of strategic points for the pur
pose of securing Italy against the pos
sibility of Austrian invasion.
In the opinion of the Italian general
staff, this has been accomplished, and
the war is entering it's second phase.
1t is estimated the Italians have
taken $4,000 prisoners during the wal
and have put out of action upward of
100000 men in all.
Italian losses, including killed
wounded and prisoners, amount to
about $4,000, according to official fig
ures, which is the lowest percentage
of any of the belligerent nations.

STUDENTS AT BERKELEY
CORRESPONDENCE COURSES AN
SWER UNIVERSAL DEMAND
Four Times as Many Mail Students as
Resident Students at University
of California-18,921 Enrolled
in Agriculture Course

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA,
Oct. 26.-There are now four times as
many correspondence students of the
University of California as there are
students at Berkeley, yet the Univer-
sity of California is second in size of
all the American universities.
There are today $4,000 correspon-
dence enrollments. This means 2,75O
enrollments for university extension
correspondence courses in subjects of
university grade, and 1921 enroll
ments for the intensely practical cor.
respondence courses in agriculture.
Probably no one thing going on in Cal.
ifornia today is doing more to enrich
the mental lives and improve the
working methods of the community
than this vast work of popular educa-
tion.
English is the academic subject in
greatest demand among the correspon-
dence students of the University of
California, LAG enrollments having
been recorded. Spanish comes Sec
ond, with an enrolment of $50, and
mathematics third, with 532 students.
Among the 1898 enrollments in vari-
GUS subjects since the work began, two
years ago, are: Accounting, 80; ad-
vertising, "a; anthropology, 12; archi-
lecture, Z; art, 8; astronomy, g. Chi
nese, 1; commercial law, 124; dental

In the free correspondence courses
in agriculture there is at present an
enrolment of 1921, while approx
mately $4,000 enrollments have been
recorded since this work was begun,
two years ago.
Free correspondence courses in
agriculture are now being given on
alfalfa growing, the onion, barley
growing, dairy, swine and poultry
husbandry, beekeeping, the pear, the
walnut, the almond, the olive, grape
growing, citrus fruits, home fioricul-
ture, semi-tropical fruits, adult and
child nutrition, and vegetable growing.

HoBOES, KEEP OUT!
is WARNING OF L. A. COUNTY

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 26.-An effor1
will be made to solve the hobo prob
lem in Southern California during the
coming winter by means of policy o1
exclusion, rather than trying to handle
them after they get here.
This plan was decided upon at q
conference of officials of Los Angeles
San Bernardino, Riverside and Orange
counties.
1t is proposed to establish a line OF
guards at points of entry, with a view
to turning back hoboes who attempt
to make Southern California their win
ter quarters.
For the purpose of carrying out this
plan, the counties of San Bernardino
Ventura, San Diego and Imperial will
be invited to send delegates to an.
other meeting, which will be held in
this city next Thursday.
The plan also contemplated the es-
tablishment of rock piles for such ho-
boes as break through the line.

WIRELESS TELEPHONY DUE TO
AMERICAN INVENTORS Brains
MARVELLOUS TRANSMISSION OF HUMAN VOICE OVER SEA AND
Land PERFECTED after ONE YEAR OF EXPERIMENTING
Experimental Work Done New York Laboratories Message Sent
Any Distance Was From Arlington Panama August Of Last Year
Messages Now Received the Same as Any Telephone Call

CHICAGO, Oct. 26.-To American
genius and brains is due all credit for
the marvellous transmission of the hu.
man voice over sea and land The de-
velopment and perfection of wireless
telephony is exclusively an American
achievement.
John j. Carly, engineer of the Amer
lean Telephone and Telegraph com
pany, who directed the long series of
experiments that reached their climax
in the radio talk between Arlington
and Eiffel tower, Paris, which was also
heard in Honolulu, told the inside
story of the wireless telephone. Much
of the experimental work was done in
the laboratories of the Western Elec-
trio company in New York.
81 am not at liberty to describe the
apparatus we now employ, because it
has not yet been patented. 1t is true
the secrets are in the hands of the
American naval authorities, who have
co-operated with us in every phase of
the work.
First Trial Last Spring
early last spring trial was made
by sending a message from the east
ern end of Long Island to Wilmington,
Del, a distance of ESQ miles. This
proved successful, and soon afterward
towers were erected at Montauk Point,
L. l., and on the island of ST. Simon,
which is off Florida, in the Atlantic.
The distance between these two points
is 1000 miles.
eve gathered confidence as the
work progressed, and made arrange
ments for receiving stations in Darien,
Isthmus of Panama, on Mare island,
near San Francisco, and in Honolulu.
'The sending station has been at
Arlington. At all of the stations, how
ever, the work has been under obser-
vation of the naval authorities.
''There is common telephone at
the base of the wireless tower. The
current that flows through the wire
from this telephone has little power.
Electrical waves caused by the sound
of the voice, as they pass along this
wire, reach an electrical apparatus
which is one of the keys to the inven-
ton. This weak current is so devel-
oped as it passes on and upward that
when it runs out along high-tension
wire and is shot into the air in the
form of electrical waves the voltage
would kill man. This is accom-

Secretary Daniels Will Recommend
Large Increase Of Both Men and
Ships Of All Glasses When Con-
gress Convenes This Fall

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-As the
navy's part in the administration S
billion-dollar national defense pro-
gram, within five years it is proposed
to spend $502,482,214 on construction
of new ships, development of air craft,
and creation of a huge reserve of am
munition and guns for the navy.
The ive-year building program con-
templates construction of ten dread
naughts, six battle cruisers, ten scout
cruisers, fifty destroyers, fifteen sea-
going submarines, eighty-fve coast
defense submarines, four gunboats,
one hospital ship, two ammunition
ships, two fuel oil ships and one repair
ship. The last of these vessels will
be built and in commission late in
1924.
Secretary Daniels will recommend
this winter the addition to the navy
of $500 bluejackets, $500 apprentices
and 1,5O0 mariners, a total of 1880
men. With this addition to personnel
it is estimated that all battleships not
more than fifteen years old, destroyers
and submarines built within twelve
years, half of the crusiers and all of
the gunboats and necessary fleet aux
iliaries can be manned, and an ade-
quate reserve be maintained for ves-
sells on the reserve list.
To officer the additional force of
marines, the secretary will recon-
mend appointment of one additional
brigadier-general, two colonels, two
Acknowledgements, six majors, one
colonel an assistant quartermaster,
fourteen captains, fourteen first lieu
tenants, thirteen second lieutenants
and twenty-five warrant officers.
Additional naval officers would be
obtained by increasing the number of
midshipment at the academy at An
napolis by not less than ESQ men.
For the aviation corps, Secretary
Daniels will recommend appointment
of a special service, to which civilian
aviators can be appointed.
The 1917 naval estimates to be pre-
sented to congress this winter will
total 7,652,173, an increase of $751;
990,308 over last years appropriation.
OF. the increase, $57,O03,O will be for
new construction, $8,000,000 for NUM-
tions reserves, 100000 for aviation,
and the balance of the appropriation
will go toward continuing department
expenses.

PLAN HUGE FORTIFICATIONS
FOR THE PACIFIC COAST

WASHINGTON Oct. 26.-The war
department estimates which will be
submitted to congress this winter will
include an appropriation for fortifica-
tions at San Pedro, Cal, where 16-
inch guns will be mounted.
Additions to the San Francisco de-
fenses, with 16-inch guns to command
the harbor and wide reach of the
coast line to north and south, also will
be proposed to congress. Other de-
fenses of the same character will be
proposed for Puget sound.
Mounted with 16-inch guns, these
Notifications would long hold off any
attack by fleet of the most powerful
cruisers and superdreadnaughts, as
the 16-inch rifles would have range

The other German attacks were
made in Artois, in the southern part

During September German subma-

seven trawlers of 1,200 tons. BY
