FIRST TELEGRAPH IN 1774
A Frenchman In Geneva Had Wire
For Each Letter

The first electric telegraph o.
which we have historic record. and
also that on which most writer's and
authorities agree. is that of George
Louis lie Sage. a Frenchman living in
Geneva. Switzerland. and who built
his first telegraph in IVA. The I.e
Sage telegraph system employed "a
wires, placed In trough in the
ground. the wire. being suitably
spaced and insulated by means or
glass partitions at frequent intervals.
Each wire represented a certain let
ter of the alpha bet. As Is known.
gold leaf is extremely sensitive to
minute electric impulses, and 80 We
fin1 that lie Sage paced a small piece
of gold leaf at the end of each wire
To send a signal over any particular
wire corresponding to certain letter
of the alphabet, a small static charge
was sent thru the wire by touching
it at the transmitting station with a
glass rod which had previously peen
electrically excited by rubbing 1t with
silk. This system was rather linz
tied in It's application, as IL is very
difficult to insulate a static charge
for any great distance.

Putting a Man ON Both Sides.

Now, we realized this was technical
ly incorrect: that it was putting a man
on both sides of the table to recon- :
mend purchases of the articles he was
interested in selling. But, in fact, any
possibility of irregularity was closely
safeguarded. and the third section of
the food bill only puts into writing a
principle we had observed all along
when it came to actual recommends :
tions to the departments
Now We have reached a stage where
a revision of this plan is feasible and
possible. We have put up to each in
dustry the problem of selecting war
service committee. to be chosen by mem :
bers of the industry themselves, and the
United States Chamber of Commerce has
undertaken 10 aid us in getting indus
tries to organize, so they can make q
selection of men to serve on these com
mittees. They will correspond in scou.

ing from alcohol to zinc but they will
be in the nature Of selling committees,
rather than buying committees. In
other words. they will represent the in

designations Not Accepted.

In regard to the stories that entire
committees had resigned in profess
against the third section of the food
bill. Mr.. Clifford stated that the resig-
nations were but twenty-five in num-
Der, and none of them had been ac-
cepted- They We're made. he explained
upon advice of the attorneys of the men
concerned. as a technical measure to
avoid any possibility of a violation OF
the new food law.
The presence of men on committees
which recommended purchases to the
government who also We're interested
in the sale of the products involved
was always regarded as a tentative
arrangement, made necessary by GER
tain conditions we encountered at the
outset" he explained
When we sought to line up repre-
sentatives of the industries whose prod
ucts were needed by the government
we found that in some branches there
were two or three organizations: il
others there We're none. The only thing
to do was to call together the leader
in these industries and seek their aid
in organizing their industries so the
government could buy the supplies il
needed.
