On the Hunt for Patriotic Teleg-
raphers for Service in
the War.
TRAINING CAMP IS PLANNED
Former Operators Are Urged to Re-
turn to the Key to Release Eligi-
bies for Service with 1.-THE He
roes Of the Army"

New York.-The United States gov
eminent has leased 3S1 acres of land
at Monmouth Park, near Long Branch,
N. j., to be used as training camp for
the reserve. battaliOns of the signal
corps. This land has been acquired
because of it's adaptability for signal
corps work, involving all kinds of sig
mailing, telegraphy and maintenance of
rapidly constructed lines Of communi-
cation.
The quartermaster's department will
build large cantOnment, consisting Of
temporary barracks, kitchen, store
houses, and everything necessary to
promote the efficient training Of the
battalions, several Of which have al
ready been organized.
The camp will be under the direct
supervision of Lieutenant Colonel
Hartmann, who will be assisted by 9TH
er officers Of the regular army. An in
tensive course of instruction will be
given to both the officers and men of
the signal corps, preparing them for
service abroad in every phase of mill
tary life necessary to perform their in
teresting work on the battlefield and
to keep up the traditions of the signal
corps.
Experienced Men Needed.
Only men with educ ton and ex-
perience along signal corps lines, aside
from the special lines mentioned, and
cooks, horseshoers, farriers and me-
chanlcs are sought for this branch of
service.
Lieutenant Colonel Hartmann has
been given one Of the biggest tasks of
the day in organizing this branch of
the new national army. He needs some
5000 telegraphers-andh he needs them
now. Telegraphers are scarce.
The unusual number Of men required
cannot be taken from the commercial
and railroad forces without jeopardiz-
ing the prompt transmission Of gov
eminent business.
Men and women who manipulated
the key in former years-and they are
legion-are being induced to return to
the wire and release eligibles for serv-
ice in the signal corps.
Brig. Gen. George o. Squier, present
chief signal officer, U. s. A., is the man
on whose shoulders rests the big re-
sponsibility for keeping up to the mark
and, if possible, bit beyond-the
"eyes, ears and nerves" of the army
better known to the layman as the sig.
nal corps.
The signal corps has recently ad.
dressed letter to presidents of col
leges and universities, asking their CO.

new MONSTER U-BOATS
NOISELESS, SAYS SWISS

A Swiss newspaper CORE
spondent who recently visited
Kiel says the German subma-
rines of the latest type are
cruisers Of 1900 or more tons,
with a radius of action of thou
sands of miles. At least four
of these new U-cruisers have
already been built, and several
others will be completed this
summer.
The submersible cruisers
have several batteries of six
inch guns and three torpedo
tubes. Their speed is said to
be over 20 knots per hour on
the surface and IL knots sub
merged. Each one of the YES
sells has a crew of more than
100 men.
An important feature Of the
new monster submarines is that
they have noiseless motors. At
ter diving they move silently
through the water and their
presence cannot be detected by
an enemy ship even with the
finest instruments.

Peculiar Experience of Hartford
Woman While Searching
for Offspring.

Denver, Colo.-To seek an only son
and to learn she is the mother Of two
"sons," at least one of whom she did
not know existed, is the somewhat pc
culiar experience of Mrs. Martha Con-
gress of East Hartford, Conn.
Another strange circumstance in
connection with the quest of her lost
heir is that Louis Congress, the MISS
ing son, was prosperous and robust
when he disappeared several months
ago. The two new ''sons' of Mrs. Con-
gress are in precariOus health and
without funds.
Mrs. Congress asked local paper

Lockhaven, Pa.-The mayor Of

when a stranger was arrested
for drunkenness and could not

to the house agriculture committee
varied suggestions for methods OF
carrying O - the governments guar
antee TO the producers of S2.26
bushel for the 1919 wheat crop.
All agreed that the true market price
as determined by world conditions
would drop below that guaranteed rate
and that the government should make
good the difference directly rather than
to maintain artificial higher prices.
Witnesses also agreed the existing
United states grain corporation. or
similar body, should be maintained as
the governments agency for support
ing the price TO growers.
Senator Armstrong said both pro-
ducers and consumers had just griev-
anccs against the present system.

plan and thus put il fairly in the
way to be registered in treaty form
within the time limit. This would
make a record of international
conferences, but the Paris gather
ing already has done that in sew

here is a growing feeling here
that the treaty of peace should be
speedily perfected, now that the
principle of the society of nations
and many of the details OF its con-
struction have been agreed upon.
Arthur j. Balfour, the British fro
eign secretary, is engaged upon a
proposition TO fix the territorial
boundaries of the defeated nations
at once and promptly conclude
peace with the enemy as so con-
stituted. The program would then
be to 90 on with the settlement of
the other questions remaining to
be solved under the rules of the
society of nations.
With such an agreement on gen.
eral principles as has been reach
ed, it is held in some quarters that
LneTe SnOuio De no need TO treat
specifically such subjects as the
freedom of the seas, the use of
submarines in warfare, the crea-
tion of buffer states. or even the
delimitaton of national boundaries
with reference to their defensive
possibilities. The idea is that
there would be no necessity to
consider the question of defenss
against neighbor whose good
behavior was assured.
Some questions, however, do re-
quire immediate consideration, IL
seems generally agreed. These
are subjects much as the assess

war, the responsibility for the war,
the regulation of the use cf in
