years by taking orphans into their
homes.
It has been estimated that the cost
of salvaging child from the streets,
according to the plan of the Society
is $780, which not only defrays the
cost of placing the youngster in a
comfortable country home but pro-
.yides for supervision so long as it is
necessary. The society keeps In
touch with the boys or girls thus
sent out and has on file thousands of
grateful letters written by them after
they have grown to manhood and
womanhood.
An instance of this gratitude was
afforded in the report for 1918 Of Ed
win G.. Merrill, treasurer of the So
ciety, who acknowledged bequest of
$4,000 from the estate Of DR.. Michael
A. Jordan, physician and educator
of Logansport Indiana. DR.. Jordan

TUNITY FOR STREET WAITS
(By Associated Press.)

New York, Jan. 2.--America as a
land Of opportunity even for street
waits, orphans and foundlings was re-
called by the recent death in Sitka
Alaska, Of John G.. Brady former
governor of that territory, and the
fact that when child young Brady
had been taken from an almshouse
and placed in the custody Of the Chill
dren's Aid Society Of New York which
educated him and placed him on the
road to fame and fortune.
Hundreds Of other cases similar to
Ex-Governor Brady's, It is said. could
be cited by the organization which for
more than half a century has been
taking homeless boys and girls Off city
streets and sending them to farms in
the West where they grew up to be
self-reliant, trustworthy and honored
citizens. A certain delicacy surrounds
the publication of the names CT the
more noted of these former waits but,
the report Of the Children's Aid So
ciety for 1918 shows the following
harvest of careers" up to date:

ernor of territory John G. Brady

two district attorneys, two sheriffs,
two mayors, a justice of the supreme
court; a federal Judge, four state

state, nine members OF state lcgisla

Among the American forces sent
overseas, it is pointed out in the re-
port, are twelve commissioned on
GERS and about 1000 soldiers and sail
Ors who were once wards Of the Chill
dren's Aid Society. All were rescued
from the streets or from asylums and
corrective institutions.

Jan. 8, 1856, has placed 32,O31 or

BECAUSE GERMANY LOST,
FARMER TAKES HIS LIFE

Jefferson City, Jan. 2.-Despondent
because Germany lost the war, Henry
Sanders, wealthy bachelor farmer,
took his life by jumping from ferry
boat at Bagnell, Mo. He was born in
Germany. He repeatedly had sent
money back there before this country
entered the war and attempted to do
so afterward.
Before he took the plunge he tied a
rope around his body and fastened the
ether end to the boat. 1t was only
necessary to pull in the line to re-
cover his body.

SIGNAL CORPS VERY
IMPORTANT BRANCH OF SERVICE
(By Associated Press.)


Headquarters, American EXpedi-
tionary Force, France, Jan. 2.-In
an army the size Of this, scattered
throughout the length and breadth Of
France from the seacoast to the Swiss
border, the problem of communication
is second only if not of equal impor-
tance to that of supplies.
When the American forces came to
France it was one of the first efforts
to which American ingenuity and in
vention was directed and the Signal
Corps, under which communications
fall, met 1t as have the other organi-
cations of the American Expedition
ary Force. Existing French tele-
egraph and telephone systems were
overburdened. There was little left
for us and Brigadier General e Rus
sell, chief signal officer, and his staff
of experts tackled the job.
What they have done in construc-
tion Is shown in some statistics fur
nished to the Associated Press. The
Signal Corps has built approximately
1,750 miles of poles on which it has
strung 4,175 miles Of wire. In addi-
tion about 1000 miles Of American
wire has been strung on existing sys-
TENS for our use and It has leased
and operates more than 5000 miles of
French wire. Exchange lines to the
extent of 1880 miles have been bull.
and to operate these lines 1t has 24t
telephone offices, 1895 telephone sta
tions and 102 telegraph Offices.
All through France, from the base
ports to the front lines occupied by
the American forces, throughout our
training areas, in fact nearly every
where, the shining copper wires on
American cross bar poles, so different
from the European system, are new
feature of the landscape and frequent
ly one heard newly arrived American
soldiers exclaim, "That's American. !"
On main line systems with many
wires the French customarily use two
poles side by side and the wires are
strung on cross bars between, and
others on single insulators fastened
direct to the pole.
The long distance telegraph and
telephone system constructed by tn,
Signal Corps is entirely maintained
by its own personnel and in addition
some 5000 miles Of leased wires are
maintained by it,
All this construction has been made
by Signal Corps battalions with i'm
plements and material from the Unit
ed States with the single exception OF
poles, most of which were obtained in
France. In construction, maintenance
and operation the standard practices
of the United States have been fol-
lowed and the American Expedition
ary Force has been given service equal
to the best obtainable in the CONNER
cial world and admittedly unr'valled
in any army. It's men have followed
troops wherever troops went, down
front line trenches, over shell-swept
and machine gun raked areas to lay
and keep their wires so that commuE-
ications might be maintained The
Signal Corps has long list of brave
dead and brave wounded, more hon
ored perhaps, because they could not
fight back.
The telephone service OF the Corps
was opened on June "a, 1917, and
since then there have been handled
aggregating more than one-third of a
billion words.
Manning these wires are many for
mer members Of the Trafic DeparI
