The widow Martha is looking for
a husband, and doesn't care who
knows it. She is the most lovelorn
female in all Washington-so love
lorn that all day she pines, openly

Ohcially the State Department

sire of this government that no &C

the International Communications
Conference, which is to meet in
Washington September Is, lays
down a general world policy. More
broadly. however. the question in
wolves a desire on the part of this
government to become independent
in its communication with foreign
governments of any but American
owned and operated companies.
The definition OF this policy dates
from the beginning of the war,
when this government found itself
at the mercy of the various bel
ligerents as far as the Interchange
of news or business correspondence
vas concerned. England cut the
cables that she did not control, and
for the next five years every mes
sage sent from this country abroad
was subjected to the scrutiny of
English censOrs and pigeonholed for
indefinite periods at their pleasure.
L. :. Now Fixing own system.
The United States and American
interests are at work now on wire
and wirless lines that are expected
TO prevent the recurrence of a situ-
alton similar to that which arose
in 1914. This development covers
the European and the South Amer
lean field. Huge wireless plants are
being erected at Copenhagen and In
Norway so that direct cOmmunica-
tiOn between the Scandinavian
countries and this government may
be maintained at all times. \
project is also under way now for
the construction of an American
cable up the east coast of South
America.
Americans are at a particular dis
advantage at the present time in
keeping in touch with the South
American countries. The only
American cable. runs from Calves
ton to the Canal Zone. across the
isthmus there, and then down the
west coast to Valparaiso. The east
coast cities are then reached by
land lines. An American cable up
the east coast now under cOnsidera-
ton has not been placed beyond

into Brazil. Argentina and other
South American countries is by way
OF London.
New Monopoly Effort Seen.
Frankly. this government regards
the efforts to connect up the pres
ent east coast cable with the United
States at Miami as only another
effort Of British interests to con-
tinue the mOnopOlistic control that
they have always exercised in South
American telegraph affairs.

Service-Special Cable Dfspatch.)

Although Japan's reply to the
American note was received yester-
day, the State Department will not
make public it's text until Toxic
releases the note of the United
States.
Japan's excuse for taking over
the northern half of sakhalin Island
is naive, in that she is understood
to admit no right in the matter
except that the island is a part of
the mainland district having Niko-
laievsk as the capital.
Recall Agreement.
Secretary Colby's representations,
which will be found to have genu-
inc punch" in them, go farther
than to re assert our traditional
policy of the open door" in the Far
East They call Japan's attention
to a specific agreement of two years
ago, providing for joint American
Japanese protection of the Trans
Siberian Railroad. A corollary OBJ
ject was to frustrate a German
Bolshevist raid into Eastern Sibe-
ria. The United States expressly
stipulated there must be no viola
ton of Russian territory.
The circumstance that in addition
to occupying the northern half of
Sakhalin. Japan has also found a
preteXt for seizing the adjacent
Siberian mainland town of Niko-
laievsk emphasizes the position OF
the United States that both ocCu-
pations are part of a systematic
encroachment upon Russian terri
tory.
The American government con-
ceives that the time may come when
a rehabilitated and virile Russia.

worthy of the name. may find it
suitable to cede Northern SakhaIin
to Japan. 1t is not vital to Russia
and contains certain resources,
principally coal, of value to the
Japanese. But the United States
points out that what might some
day properly obtain from a respon-
sibIe Russia is a different thing
from what Japan finds it possible
to grab" from a Russia which is
undergoing the labor pains of a
rebirth.
League the Hope.
1t is to Japans interest that
Great Britain and the United States
should not work together too
closely in the East. 1t is to Great
Britain's advantage that the United
States and Japan should remain
somewhat estranged. 1t is to the
interest of the United States that
the Anglo-Japanese alliance should
not be of too intimate a character
to Illustrate American policy.
There are men in Washington, not

great aircraft force which was ulti-

beginnings in small group Of under
graduates at Yale University.
In recommending Mr.. Trubee Davi-
son for Distinguished Service Medal,
the commander Of our aviation forces
wrote: This officer was responsible
for the organization of the first Yale
aviation unit of twenty-nine aviators
who were later enrolled in the Naval

of aviators formed the nucleus of the

while the United States was still at
parents, and few friends, they took

conviction that the United States
would certainly get into the war, and
they selected this branch as the one
| in which they could render greatest
service to their country. These young
men worked all through the summer of
1916 at Port Washington, Long Island,
learning how to fly; at this time they
were an entirely unofficial body, pay

the unit comprised about twenty men;
they kept constantly at work. even
after college opened in the fall of 1916,
and. when the war broke out, they

learned to fly.

months of the war, these Yale UNDER

scouting over Long Island Sound and
other places looking for the imaginary
Germans. In February, 1917, Secre-
tary Daniels recognized their work by
making Dawson a member of the COM
mittee on aeronautics; in March prac-
tically every member of the unit was
enrolled in the aviation service, and
their names appear among the first
one hundred aviators enrolled in the

several thousand. So proficient had

achievements of aircraft figure only
moderately in the statistics Of the war;
this was because most of their most
valuable work was done in co-opera-
ton with war vessels. Aircraft in the
navy performed a service not unlike
that which it performed in the Army.

In applying this mechanism of pro-

simply adopting the method which
Great Britain had been using for three
years in the narrow passages of the
English Channel. Much has been said
of the skill with which the British
navy transported about 20,000,000 souls
back and forth between England and
France in four years; and in this great
movement seaplanes, dirigibles and
other forms Of aircraft played an i'm

In the same way this scheme of
protection was found valuable with the
coastal conveys, particularly with the
conveys which sailed from one French
port to another and from British ports
to places in Ireland, Holland or
Scandinavia. The Americans estab-
lished a large aircraft station at Kill
