boxes of the Waldorf ballroom, the publishers and their guests listened to speeches delivered at San Francisco 5000 miles away, probably did not very greatly astonish any of the persons present The utterances of Mayor Rolph of San Francisco were heard as dis tinctly as they would have been if he had been speaking in the room with the diners Mayor Mitchell responding, was as clearly heard on the distant Pacific coast. No effort was required af the listeners. Vocal music and the tones of cornet transmitted across the continent were distinct and en- ioyable. The novelty of the entertain ment thus provided and it's charm were easily appreciated It required no eff fort of the magination to comprehend that its money cost was large but it Was natural to accept the proceedings as a matter of course. We have be- come so used to the achievements of applied science under modern condi- tions that we no longer wonder It seems that nothing more that can be lone on the earths surface, or, in- deed, within its atmospheric envelope, can bewilder us. The telephone is an established utility. a commonplace of everyday life, and talking with San Francisco, in the circumstances differs not at all from talking over the or dinary short distances. In the era of the wireless. the submarine, and the aeroplane, man has become too accus- toned to the wonders that our grand parents could never have conceived, to think much about them
 There was at least one guest at the publishers dinner. however, who must have been entirely alive to the magni- tude of the undertaking which gave so much pleasure to their guests This was MT. Union N Bethell. the presi- dent of the American Telephone and Telegraph company. Apart from the development of long distance telephon- ing. which has only lately reached such q stage as to make thls feat possible. | must have been clear in his mind that this was the most extraordinary demonstration of the possibilities of Bells invention ever made Of the me- chanicai difficulties that had been overcome he had q lively sense. too. \ storm In the Rocky mountains some distance from the ballroom. had brok en connection. which had been repaired with great difficulty only half an hour before the guests sat down to dinner. To keep the line clear the services of 25O men were required and lines of wire valued at s2,00O,00O were tied up'' while the Waldorf and San Fran CISCO exchanged greetings and senti- ments. Thirteen states other than New Aork were more or less involved in the proceedings. But even with these facts and figures before one, and the always remarkable fact of the very existence of the telephone kept in mind, though it is easy enough to real lze that one may talk with a friend 5000 miles away, it is hard in these days of many wonders to think of 1t as something out of the ordinary.

Origin of German Flag

From the Philadelphia Record.
 When the present German empire was established by uniting the several Ger man states into one vast realm, the ques- ton arose as to what flag the new en- pire should fly. As it happened each state wanted it's own special standard adopted, and no two of them were alike thought as general thing each was com posed of two colors; thus Prussia had black and white Bavaria blue and white Saxony green and white and every other state, no matter how small possessed a flag.
 When the great German empire became an established fact. naturally it was nec- essary to adopt a banner that would be distinctive, include all the states as every government insisted on being rep- resented. council was appointed to take charge of the whole matter and the difficulty it encountered in coming tosa decision will be better appreciated when it is remembered that at least 40 com blnat1ons were to be made. if all were to be satisfied with the arrangement
 The largest states, the kingdoms, pro- posed that their flags should be united and thus form the national flag. but the delegates from the small prncipalities their claims to recognition that this plan was voted down. Another proposition was that all smaller states should be represented on jack or corner of the flag and have series of stripes, each repre- sentng the five cities or large states This was also rejected. too cumber- some an arrangement. Again it was sug.. gested to have each state, large or small represented on the body of the flag n method of portioning out the surface in squares, so much to each state. This in convenient and inartistic plan was also rejected
 The Prussian delegates. however next prepared a combination of colors and, of course, black and white were not cast aside. This idea was to adopt Q flag com posed of black and white and red, as this latter had always been considered an i'm. perial color The other kingdoms objected fiercely to the predominance of the black and white of Prussia over the blue and white and green and white of Bavaria and Saxony, but the Prussian delegat ess found allies in those from the smaller states, who recognizing that there was no hope of having the flags of their own little states adopted, felt willing to have the claims of the large overbearing states ignored. as well as their own. so they voted with the Prussians and the black, white and red was accepted.
 Then again, the smaller kingdoms in- sisted that each should keep it's own flag to fly at the head of it's own particular contingent in the army. This proposi- tion was voted down, as it was decided it would give valuable information to an enemy as to the number of troops, great mistake in war times Another proposi- ton. that of hanging the black. white and red stripes parallel to the staff. was decided adversely, on the ground that the red, white and blue stripes of the French flag. being hung in that manner the two flags might be confused in the midst of battle. This ended the ques- tion and the Prussian flag, with the ad- dition of the imperial red, was adopted as the national standard of the whole German empire.

 When he observes the soiled. mussy dishes in the kitchcn-some of them having been left there a week or longer uncleansed-he begins to growl and howl like a mad dog. But if he didn't want soiled dishes, why did he decide to cook in the chafing dish last night at a. m? Why. indeed? And all those dead soldiers standing about Why did he open 12 or 15 bottles of glisten- ing, sparkling "Bud?" You can't cook without soiled dishes and you can't drink your beer and have it too so there the debris stands facing you like an ugly memory or the bangs of an embittered conscience.

"D0N'T ROCK BOAT"
DAVIS WARNS j. s.

The need of celebrating Memorial
Day as it was originally planned and
not as mere national holiday. was
emphasized by Rev. E. E. Davis, pas
tor of the Second Presbyterian church
in the services Sunday, in his annual
Memorial sermon on Some Lessons
Learned from Memorial Day"
He made reference to the fact that
history shows that patriotic services
were held centuries ago with their
purposes similar to the fundamental
rules governing the setting aside of
our present Memorial Day, to ac-
knowledge our devotion and express
ed our gratitude for some great cause.
He cited the Civil War as an ex-
ample of horrors which comes in the
life of a nation and discussed the bond
Of union now existing between the
North and South. He emphasized the
need Of keeping our poise and refrain
ing from rocking the boat during
the present troublous times abroad.

mia tragedy, disappointing and evasive
in character and regarded here as
more conducive to parley than to
quick adjustment of the present grave
difficulties between this nation and
Germany, was before the chief execu-
tive and officials Of the state depart
ment today. 1t was planned to con-
slider the document at the cabinet
meeting tomorrow, which is looked
upon as the most important in years
President Wilson will reply prompt
ly and decisively to the German note
and will sustain the position taken
In the Lusitania note it was learned
in official circles today. There are two
courses open to him, according to one
official of the state department, one
is to support the original stand, with
out reservation and the other, to take
a course which will entail prolonged
controversy. 1t was predicted that the
president will take the former.
The note reached the state depart
ment at midnight and the work of un-
coding began early today for immedi-
ate presentation to the president. Mr..
Wilson already had received the unof-
ficial translation of the note as made
in Berlin, and the official text was a
matter of form. The German note is
even more disappointing than the
forecasts of it's contents, according t
the pessimistic opinion which pre-
vailed in official circles when the ac-
tual text of the German reply became
available.

After 275 miles had been ground
under the wheels of the race cars, De
Palma was leading and increasing his
speed all the time. His time for 275
miles was 3:O3:22.73. an average Of
S9.9S miles. The record for this dis
tance was $3.50 miles an hour. Resta
the Peugot driver, was still in second
place. Johnny Aitken, who had re-
lieved Gil Anderson at the wheel of
the Stutz. was third: Cooper in a
Stutz was fourth, and porporato in
Sunbeam fifth.
After half the race was over Hughie
Hughes relieved Carlson of the Max
we'll team. The nearest approach to
an accident came at the end of 275
miles when Narnraalte's Sunbeam
skidded off the track on the back
stretch. and in humping over the
ground lost its hood. The British pilot,
pulled his car back on the track and
continued racing without hood un-
til he was tagged down.
DePalma Changes Tires.
DePalma stopped at the end of 800
miles to change tires. and lost the
lead to Resta. He put on four new
tires and lost two minutes and twenty
eight seconds Another record fell in
the distance. DePalma average be-
ing 9021 miles an hour. The record
made last year was S29S. DePalma
was a minute and thirty seconds be-
hind Resta at 305 miles. Resta had
only stopped once up to that time. and
DePalma's hope of regaining the lead
lay on the chance that the Peugot
driver would be forced to make an
other stop.
AS Resta, the leader. pulled into the
stretch on his one hundred and twen-
ty-ninth lap, DePalma who was one
lap behind. caught up with the Peu-
got driver, when the two Italians
staged the neatest brush of the race,
DePalma passing Resta as they made
the turn at the south end of the
course
On the next two lays the same driv-
ers ella shed again on the straightaway
in front of the main stands, Resta
coming out victorious. At the end OF
325 miles Resta was leading and
making an average Of 1891 miles De
Palma was still lap behind, and the
two Stutz cars, driven by Aitken and
Cooper were in third and fourth po-
sitions Porporato in his Sunbeam,
was fifth.
Resta Hits Wall.
At the end of the one hundred and
| thirty-seventh lap DePalma again gain
ed the lead when Resta's car limped
into the pit for tires and gasoline. De
