killing and taking prisoners almost the entire party. The ball was opened and Washington had opened 1t.
 It Is not necessary to go over the history of the French and Indian war which was closed by the treaty of Paris nine years later. Every school boy knows of Braddock's defeat and Wolf's victory. Washington, as an officer of the Virginia militia and as aid to Braddock. learned the art of war by experience and so distin- guished himself that his name was known in Europe. Quebec fell in Sep. tember of 1759, Montreal surrendered in 1760. and Canada fell into the power of the English. Spain joined France in 1761 and British fleet and army. to which New York and New England contributed, captured Havana the next year. The commerce of France was almost swept from the seas by British cruisers and Spain was not able to carry on her com merce with her American colonies. , 6rltIeh Proposed Peace.
 The British proposed a peace. Their terms were hard but Choisuel, the French minister, said: "What can we dol The English are drunk with success and we are not in a condition to abase their pride."
 Preliminares were signed at Paris on November 3 and a definite treaty on February 10 the next year. To England was ceded, besides islands in the West Indies, Canada, Louisiana as far west as the Mississippi, but ex- c'uding New Orleans and the terri tory immediately around 1t. New Or leans and Louisiana west of the Mis- sissippi France gave to Spain for her aid. Of all her North American pos sessions France retained only the lit- tie islands of Miquelon and St. Pierre end right in the fisheries. Havana was given up to Spain by England in return for Florida.
 Quizot says: "The humiliation was deep. the loss irreparable. But the hour was coming for that supreme struggle which should give to the world the United States of America"

On February 10. 1763. there was signed one of the most momentous treaties ever concluded in the history of the world; for it not only decided whether the Latin or the Anglo-Saxon race should be supreme in North America, not only deposed France from her position of a colonial power of the first rank, but it ended war which had taught the American col onies to think, act and feel for them- selves in terms of distinctive national' ity, had laid the foundations for the American Revolution and developed the genius of George Washington.
 Unlike the other wars which had disturbed the American colonies and called upon the colonists to shed their blood in backing up some European quarrel in which they had no inter est, this war was begun in the Amer ican wilds over American questions, and it's main theater of action was American soil. It Is known in Amer lea as the French and Indian war.
 French and English Quarrel.
 Scarcely was the ink dried on the Treaty of Aix-la- -Chapelle when the French and English began to quarrel over the boundaries of that indefinite region of Arcadia" which had been ceded to England by the Treaty of Utrecht. On the Ohio land company claimed under a charter from George II vast stretches of land which the French claimed lay in French terri tory. The governor of Canada sent a military force from Montreal to drive out the English settlers and es- tablish posts. The governor of Vir- glnla decided to send 'person of dis tinction" to inquire into this. and se- lected George Washington, then twen. ty-one years of age. The French com mandant declared he would hold his ground.
 The next spring Washington went out with an expedition to build fort at the junction of the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers where now is Pittsburgh. Reaching the Great Meadows he learned of the approach of a French force and attacked it,

 The practical sources of information from which the bulletin acquires its data are daily reports by telegraph and cable from naval officers at ports in the United States and from attaches in foreign countries; daily reports from the bureau of operations of the United States navy and officers of the naval intelligence bureau; daily reports (except Sunday from the British ministry of shipping; informa- tion obtained from steamship com panies and agents; Associated Press cablegrams; the Lloyds' Daily Index; the United States Shipping Board; telephonic reports from lookout sta tions and guard ships stationed in New York harbor, and from the army piers of the Port of Embarkation, in Hoboken.
 In addition to serving the maritime interests, the naval communication service, through it's vast cable, tele- graph and radio facilities, is handling practically all the business of the gov ernment passing through New York.

MOVEMENTS
 ALL SHIPS IS
 BEING TABBED

NEW YORK, June il (by Associated Press).-The establishment of a gov ernment-controlled bureau of shipping information, through which maritime interests of the United States are ad vised daily through official sources and without cost, of the movements of practically all the merchant ships of the world, is an outgrowth of one of the activities of the navy department during the war.
 This bureau, conducted by what is known as the naval communications service, was instituted shortly after this country entered the conflict. It was made necessary for the reason that prior to that time there was no organized branch of the government through which the movement of ships could be obtained on short notice. The demands of the navy and war de- partments, the United States Shipping Board and allied war interests re- quired that there be at hand at all times a carefully revised record of all ships-not alone of their movements, but details as to their tonnage, speed, specifications as to build, etc.
 Under the direction of naval of- hcer, with assistants recruited from the marine departments of press asso- citations, daily and marine publica- tions, etc., the bureau was established and arrangements were at once made for prompt and reliable dispatches from all parts of the world concern ing ship movements, this service en- bracing not only the facilities of the telegraph and cable but the govern ment-controlled wireless as well.
 Its value during the war was ines- timable and with the coming of peace and the efforts to build up in this country an efficient merchant marine, the bureau has thrown open to the public-and particularly to the ship owners, charters, shippers, insurance interests and maritime business gen. erally, the facilities of it's vast and far-reaching service.
 By means of card index question relating to any ship can be promptly answered-and reliable information as to her sailing date, estimated time of arrival at port of destination, location at sea or in port, can be readily given It is a service which prior to the war was maintained in similar manner by many of the foreign maritime na- tions- ns-some of them much smaller and having far less ships than did this country With large merchant marine, such as this country appar- ently desires, the value of such a toned
 The naval communication service employs about 250 persons, all in navy uniform and under direction of Lieu tenant Commander R. B. Coffman. It issues daily, and distributes free of cost to more than 800 shipping firms, newspapers, government officials, maritime exchanges, etc., bulletin of 145 pages carrying the names of more than 10000 vessels each name showing nationality, tonnage, location or sail ing date. Evidencing the demand for this information the circulation of the bulletin is increasing rapidly. Between the hours of issue, the bureau keeps ship owners advised by telephone or

By means of cross bearings, taken from different receiving stations it becomes but a simple mathematical problem to determine an exact loca- tion, and the vessel sending the signal is so advised.
