THE WIRELESS TO JAPAN.

The opening of wireless communication with
Japan marks an epoch in the sending of wireless
messages, because the relay from the Hawaiian
station near Honolulu to Funabashi, near Toxic,
is 1856 miles, the longest stretch across which
messages can be sent. From the Pacific station
to San Francisco is 2,087 miles. A message can
be received in America from the Japanese capital
in less than a minute.
Naturally the first message sent was from
President Wilson to the Japanese emperor, who
replied with suitable fluctuations. That the wire
less may mean better understanding with Japan
is possible but the significance of the exchanges
lies in the fact that they show how small this
world Of ours is becoming.
Before the advent of the wireless and the
telegraph nations were naturally things apart.
Their communications were stiff and formal and
were carried out under great handicaps. 1t is
no wonder that many wars developed in that time
when men could not communicate with each other
and freely interchange their ideas and champion
their ideals.
1t is to be hoped that with modern commun-
ication and transportation misunderstanding be-
tween foreign peoples will become more infre-
quent and that all of US will learn to know our
foreign UelSuUOrS DeCCeT. 10 TedllZe CIldC tley
are human beings with aspirations comparable to
ours and to see the progress of events in their
lives as compared to ours ought to make US UNDER
stand them more.
After a study of wars in general we have about
concluded that they are for the most part the re-
suit of passions and prejudices which are fos-
tered by ignorance and aloofness. Anything
which breaks the bar which holds nations apart
and allows an exchange of information and COM
modities is bound to go far in preventing new
wars.
This is the service which the wireless can
render and we hope it will succeed in creating a
better understanding between America and Japan,
and that it will help in preventing a war, which at
present seems to be waiting in the future.

HAVANA R. R. CARS
 FALL OVER TRESTLE

FAIRBANKS, May l6. - What IS regarded as a phenomenal wreck oc- cured on the Panama Valley Railroad today when two cars fell over trestle twenty-five feet into a stream but not a passenger was injured.
 The train was running slowly at the time and was rounding curve in the hills. Suddenly two of the cars jumped the track and over they went. They had twenty passengers aboard and all were carried down. The stream was not deep and to this fact is probably due the safety of the peo- pie. The engine remained on the track but the cars are completely wrecked.

LONDON, May 16. - The trial of Sir Roger Easement on the charge of high treason is taking place in the Bow Street court house, the most famous court in the city of London. The room is filled but admission is given only by ticket and most of the audience is made up of the most prominent personages. The prisoner maintains the same calm demeanOr and hardly pays the least attention to the proceedings. He carries himself like a man who knows that he is about to die and has made up his mind that his death is only a minor part in a great drama.

BASEMENT IS
 DISDAINFUL CARRIES HIMSELF LIKE A MAN IN THE SHADOW OF
 THE GALLONS.

LONDON, May 15.-Treating with disdain every man in the court room Sir Roger Easement, the Irish knight charged with treason in connection with the Irish revolt, came up for trial today. The assembly was al most entirely made up of the leading statesmen of the empire but the pris- oner paid not the least attention to any of them. By his appearance one would judge that he was merely an uninterested spectator. There was nothing of tde braggadOciO in his de- meanOr. He was simply gentleman who was apparently unconscious of his environment or of the awful doom in whose shadow he stood.
 Sir Roger is 52 years of age. His career in the consular service was brilliant. While consul general in Brazil he made complaints to the British government that British com panRs engaged in the interior of Brazil were ill-treating their em- ployees and even murdering them. A royal commission was appointed to look into the charges and Easement himself was made its chairman. After the investigations it was found that his accusations were well found ed and the result was the improve ment of the conditions of the working wretches all over the republic. Fol- lowing out this desire to aid the under dog he first came into promin- ence in Dublin in aid of strikers. Up to that time he had made no appear ance in Irish public life as he had al most all his life been in the BritIs' consular service in foreign countries. The enemies of the Dablin strikers were the first to declare Sir Roger de- mented because the fact of a titled man taking part of workers was something winch they were unable 10 understand. It is rumored now that the government would be pleased at nothing more than to have him plead insanity to save his life, as such a plea might lessen the effect which his actions have hai in neutral countries, especially his denunciatiOn of British government in Ireland. It is not be- lieved that the details of the court proceedings will be permitted pubiica- ton although they arc in open court and are witnessed by the leading par hamentarians.
 Should he be sentenced to death and should the sentence be executed it will probably be the most sensation al occurrence of its kind in the em- pire for centuries.
