WIRELESS
CALLED FRAME-UP

NEW YORK, Aug. 2O.-When the
armOred cruiser North Carolina dock
ed at pier 4, Brooklyn, a few days
ago, the army men on board were
both. surprised aRd discOmfited to
learn that a wireless message an
nouncing the signing of the peace
treaty flashed to the transport at sea
was authentic. They declared that
they had believed il frame up" and
thereby hangs a tale.
As soon az peace was officially con
cluded the radio department at Wash
ington sent out wireless notification
to all transports, directing them to
stop where they might be, fire a sa-
lutte of twenty-One guns, have the
ships band play "The Star-Spangled
Banner" and order everybody. on
board to stand rigidly at attention
throughout the ceremony.
Men Cheer MadIy.
When Capt. William d. MacDou-
gall, commander of the North Caro-
lima received his copy of the historic
wireless the 1895 troops on board.
some army and some navy men, COM
manded by Major r. L. Radcliff, were
cheering madly the participants in the
star bout of an entertaining pugilistic
program, arranged to relieve the te-
dium of their trip home.
in the event James ("Spike"O
O'Brien, Of Brooklyn, represented the
army and Fred Warren, an oiler on
the ship, carried the colors of the
navy. Both boys had put up a lively
bout, and Warren was about "all in"
At the bugle sounding attention"
everybody, Strengthened up, Warren,
grOggy as he was, even staggering to
the ropes and holding himself as
erect as possible under the circum-
stances.
When the reverberation of the last
OF the salute of twenty-one guns died
away and the concluding strains of
the national anthem melted into
silence, the gong rang for resump-
tion of the interrupted bout.
Whether his deep inhalation Of
bracing sea air or the inspiration de-
rived from the gunfire and the stir
ring band music accomplished the
near miracle will never be known. At
any rate Warren, the sailor, leaped
from his corner with all the vigor
in the world and dashed at spike"

Spectators of the thrilling affair
declare that Warren pounded Spike"

minute and a half crashed a ebay

sent him over the ropes and ended

Instantly ALI was uproar and wild
est confusion about the ring. A tre-
mendOus roar of anger and chagrin
went up from the throats of the army
roOters, and cries of fake" frame
up" popped out of them like corks
from bottles in a drinking bout.
As soon as the North Carolina
touched her pier eager voices from
her deck called out questions as to
whether peace was really signed. As
sured il was, the questioners snorted
with disgust. well, we would have
sworn it was a deliberate plant to

CHINA WAS FIRST

HONGKONG, Aug. 2O-Tempersnce
movements and prohibition crusades
date back at least 5000 years. 1t was
China that first tried to be bone dry.
Early reforms along temperance
lines arc attributed to the priests of
India and Persia. But the Chinese
claim that in the eleventh century be-
fore Christ their emperor, disGusted
over the prevalence of drunkenness,
ordered all the grapevincs in the
kingdom uprooted.
\ hundred years before this bone
dry effort, in the twelfth century be-
fore Christ, King Wen tried partial
reform in China. Wen. founder Of the
Chou dynasty, promulgated an AN
Eouncemcnt Against Drunkenness. 4"
according 10 ancient Chinese docu-
ments handed down by Confucius.
King Wen declared drinking has
long been n national vice" He or.

drunkenness was not to he tolerated.

ONE LANGUAGE FOR
j. S. IS OPPOSED

PHILADELPHIA. Pa, Aug. 2O.-The
movement to establish "one Ian
guage in America, and that English"
was recently vigorously protested
against by DR.. Herbert Adolphus Mil
Ier, in an address on "America's Alien
Squad" DR.. Miller, who is chief of
the division on immigration hcritages
of the Carnegie Corporation, contend
ed that the movement to stamp out
foreign languages among immigrants
and substitute the English language
was wrong. He declared it had been
tried in Poland by Prussia, by Aus
tria in Bohemia, and by one govern
ment or another in almost every
country in Europe, and had always
failed.
DIR. Miller said ii was ridiculous to
teach foreign languages in our col
Ieges and seek 10 prevent the chill
dren of immigrants from using their
parents native tongue. he said there
are more than 1900 foreign language
newspapers in this country and that
if the immigrants arc going TO learn
about America and the world they
must get their information through
those newspapers.
"The best thing Philadelphia could
do to win over the Poles, Lithuanians
and Slovaks would be to introduce the
study of their own language in its
high schools" Dr. Miller continued.
1T would win both parents and chill
dren by showing them that we re
spect the things they hold dear. II.

NOBLE IS HIGH MAN
INQUIZON BANKING

c. NJ. Noble, it was announced to-
day, led in the examination in bank
ing and economics given by the Wash
ington Chapter Of the American In
stitute of Bankers last June, in a
field of thirty-one competitors.
Mr.. Mobiles average of the two
marks in banking and economies was
SO. +. NJ. Galladay was second with
an average. of 9s.75, W. H. Mitchell
and ]. Frank Rice each made 9s, and
r. B. Grubbs was next with $3.50.
OF the original thirty-seven to take
the examination, thirty-one actually
were examined and twenty-nine of
these passed and will receive the
certificate of the institute in the
primary course.
The institute plans next fall to
carry on the educational work among
bank clerks by organizing two classes.
The first will be a primary course
similar to the course of twenty-five
lectures given last winter, and will
be open to those who did not take
the first course, and to those who did
not pass in the late examination.
The second class will be for those
who made passing marks in the ex-
animation and for others who have
had three years at least of practical
banking experience. The ground COW
cred will be in advance Of the last
years class, and those qualifying in
the examinations as a finish to this
course will receive the full certificate
of proficiency from the institute.
The local chapter now has over
three hundred members, and a cam
paign is planned for next fall to
gather more bankers into the fold for
the purposes of education. The facili-
ties offered by the institute for edu-
cation along banking lines are avail
able to all members, and interest has
been growing in the lecture courses
offered.
1t is interesting to note that among
the six women taking the examination
in June, all passed. Mrs. Heath, who
made the best marks among the six
averaged 81. Many of the men did not
make this much it was declared.
