netic observations here at the time.
There are three ways to detect such
a disturbance-by the lights, the
effect upon magnetic instruments
and the action of the cables
"Of all the theories advanced as
to the cause" said the professor
"the one which advances the idea
that these disturbances are caused
by PARTICLES from the sun being i'm
posed on the atmosphere Is the
most rational. But I do not say
this is correct. 1t is subject for
discussion. No one really knows
very much about it."
Seen ut Mount Pleas, mt.
Naval Observatory men declared
there was nothing unusual In the
lights or their effect. speaking
strictly from a scientific standpoint.
These lights and magnetic disturb
ances occur every three or four
years, 1t was declared, and their ef-
feet is the same, only at times the
effect is more widespread.
The lights were first observed by
residents of Mount Pleasant about Z
o'clock in the evening. However.
scientists and other students of
physics and natural phenomena who
possess magnetic instruments no
ticed it much sooner. The Z o'clock
illumination lasted for about thir-
teen minutes, and gradually disap-
peared, only to reappear about three
hours later to a greater degree than
before.

The Western Union and Postal
Telegraph companies reported dis
turbances of their wires over an
immense territory, and as usual the
East to West wires being most af-
fected, However, the interruption
this far South was not very serious.
Ships plying the North Atlantic,
especially those carrying the old
fashioned needle compass, expert
enced trouble keeping their course,
the magnetic arrangement of the
compass being easily affected by
such a disturbance as last nights.
Telephone wires in Washington
worked overtime, hundreds of calls
being received at the Naval Observ-
atory from those anxious to know
II anything serious had happened
or was about to happen. The streets
were crowded with people gazing

May Last Several Days.
Scientists say the effect of such
a vast magnetic influence as last
nights occurrence might last for
days. or that it may be gone this
morning.
Wireless stations suffered very
little in comparison to the tele-
graphic systems. But ships having
wireless apparatus with a very lin
tied range, and shore stations with
q range Of 400 miles and under had
trouble, their spark not being pow
erful enough to "plow" through the
heavily-charged atmosphere.
DR.. Whitford, night superintend-
ent of the Weather Bureau, stated
that the illumination was the great

in eleven years. He claims that the
atmosphere becomes magnetized and
acts as a conductor for the energy

CURIOSITY ABOUT JAP

Assurances were given TO the
Senate by House leaders yesterday
that whenever the Senate passes q
resolution declaring the existence
of peace with Germany, the House
will pass 1t promptly and BY an
overwhelming majority.
The House will not pause to
question the senate's judgment in
the matter, but will accept the
resolution in whatever form it may
be passed by the Senate. Demo-
cratic leaders as well as the Re-
publicans will give 1t support.
There Is no disposition on the
part Of Senator Lodge to proceed

the resolution, and consideration OF
it probably will not be started be-
fore the Vnd Of the week

Chairman Hays of the Republi-
can National Committee conferred
for exactly three minutes with Sem
ator Lodge yesterday morning. All
he had to say was that the situa-
ton was satisfactory" and to urge
the passage of a resolution restor-
ing the country to a status of peace.
a curious aftermath Of the treaty
fight came before the Senate yester-
day when Senator Lodge introduced
resolution asking the President to
inform the Senate what has become
of the Island OF Yap. The resolu-
ton was passed unanimously.
1t was recalled that when mem
bers of the Foreign Relations Com
mittee visited the White House last
August to discuss the treaty they
were informed the Island of Yap
was to go to the United States to
be utilized for a cable base. Sem
ators. in subsequent debate, referred
to Yap as "the only thing We got
.out of the war"
Quotes Lloyd George.
But Senator Lodge, in presenting
the resolution, referred to a recent
statement by Prime Minister Lloyd
George, to the effect that, under
the secret Anglo-Japanese treaty,
the island has passed into the pos
session of Japan. The resolution
asks the President to inform the
Senate il this is correct.

ling treaties was proposed by Sem

Is SOLDERING BECOMING A
SNAP7

The number of officers and men
who entered the war and who have
now chosen army life as their per
manent occupation, indicates that the
life of soldier is not altogether irk-
some in peace times. Educating the
men in khaki has proved a distinct
hit with the war department, and il
also appears that the men whom poll
ticians have been telling us are being
held in Germany and elsewhere, are
not having such hard time after all.
Major General E. c. Harris, the adj
jutant general of the army, says:
The serviceiq Germany has proved
to be 30 attractive that the ranks are
always filled. Our chief difficulty
is that regiments are apt to be over
enlisted before we can stop the re-
cruiting officers from accepting more
applicants, and we must send such
men to the station for which they
were accepted"
Equally popular is army service in
Hawaii. and as a rule few recruits
can be accepted for duty there. How
ever, the 18th field artillery has left
the United States for service in the
mid-Pacific and enlistments for this
regiment have been issued. In the
old army new recruits had no choice
in the selection of a regiment, and
could not name any particular sta
ton. In the new peace-time army a
man may either pick his own regi-
ment or designate the part of the
world to which he wishes to be sent

ton Of federal control the freight

the car service division, the railroads
