CLEVER SYSTEM OF SIGNALS
More Ingenious Scheme Than That
Contemplated by Germans Prob
ably Never Was Devised.

German war secrets are now being
disclosed in scientific literature. At
the close Of the conflict the Germans
in their laboratories were working
on secret-signal lights of special
character. To the ordinary observer
nothing would be present to indicate
thar the light was sending out signals.
but changes would be going on which
would be apparent to an observer
equipped to view IT with a suitable
optical device.
Different principles were employed
for accomplishing this. In one Of
them pOlarized light was TO be sent
out by the signal, the character OF
which would change In accordance
with the dots and dashes of the code.
When viewed through properly fit
ted binoculars, the color would no
longer be white but would alternate
between red and green. In another
method, glass screen containing COM
pounds OF the rare element didymium
was arranged to alternate In the beam

shade. When the resulting light was
viewed with binoculars equipped with
prisms, a black line would appear in
the yellow region OF the spectrum
formed whenever the didymium glass
was interposed, permitting the signals
TO be read. Another method consisted
In first breaking up the light at the
source into a spectrum across which
was placed one or more wires cutting
out narrow regions of color, and these
were arranged TO be moved back and
forth n short distance along the spec
trum In signaling The colors were
then recombined into white light and
transmitted. With binoculars provided
with suitable prisms TO reform the
spectrum, the signal was perceived in
the motion of dark bands back and
forth along the spectrum, correspond
ing TO the movement of the wires at
the transmitting station. One i'm
pOrtant application of this method of
signaling would be at sea.-POpular

SECRETEO HIS LITTLE HOARD
Indiana Man Evidently Had Little
Confidence in the Wearers

After much persuasion, Mrs. House

LOST" BALLOONISTS ARE
Is MILES FROM MATTICE

MATTICE, Ont, Jan. 1.-THE
three American naval balloonists,
Lieuts. Walter Hinton, A. L. Kloor,
and Stephen Farrell, whose ad-
ventures in the frozen North have
thrilled all America, are safe.
They camped over night at Skunk
Island, twenty miles from Mattice,
and are expected to reach this place
before night, unless held up by acci-
dent or freshly fallen snow.
1. N. $. MAN is FIRST.
The first man to reach the balloon
lists party was Agapit Clermont, cor
respondent OF the international News
Service. Clermont was the first cor
respondent to start north in search
of the Americans and met them some-
where on the trail. Clermont had
not returned to Mattice at the time
this dispatch was written, and IL was
not known whether he was pushing
on ahead of the Americans, or would
arrive here with them.
Anxiety over the aeronauts was
dispelled when two Canad an guides,
Earle Trouse and w. r. Clark, who
had pushed north from Mattice in a
thick snowstorm, returned with news
of the heroes of the sky.
Clark, who had spoken to the bal
loonists, said all were in good health.

US. TO DEPORT
CORK'S MAYOR
Davis Requests Secretary vii.
son to Take Cork Mayor Into
Custody for His Return.

Acting Secretary of State Davis
this afternoon requested Secretary
of Labor Wilson to deport at once
Daniel O'Callaghan, lord mayor of
Cork, who entered the United States
as a stowaway.
Secretary Davis notified Secre-
.tary Wilson that the State Depart
ment has decided that it cannot
waive the regulations requiring a
passport and requested that O'Cal-
laghan, who is now on parole, be
taken into custody at once and his
deportation executed.
VIRTUALLY A COMMAND.
The request for deportation OF
OCallaghan is tantamount to an or
der, according to the State Depart
ment.
Secretary Davis took this action
under the proclamation issued by the
President on August 8, 1918, which
declares that the State Department
shall determine whether aliens shall
be permitted to enter this country
without passports.
The Secretary indicated his decis-
ion in a letter to Secretary Wilson
which quoted excerpts from the legal
opinion OF the solicitor of the State
Department.
The steamship company on whose
vessel OCallaghan reached the United
States may be held liable for his re.
turn to Ireland.
WILSON WILL APPEAL.
Secretary of Labor will take an ap'
peal to the President. 1T was intimate ed
at his office.
1t Is understood that the Secretary
will take the matter up at the Cab
met meeting this afternoon and will
argue that the proclamation of Aug
ust 8, 1918, applied only to war time
conditions and that the State Depart
ment is without authority in the pres
ent case.

Urged by Congressman Thurman

end the period of despotism' under
which the people of the District are
living in the greatest democracy of
the world" members of the COM
mittee constantly took issue over the
question as to what form Of suf-
frage should be extended.
The question of submitting the
issue to a referendum OF the people
residing in the District was raised
by a number of the committee mem
bers, including Chairman Volstead.
who told Mr.. Burroughs he believed
the most vital first step should be
to ascertain whether the people of
the District really desired to exer-
else the vote.
This point was emphasized time and
again during the hearing by Con-
gressmen Gard of Ohio, 1goe OF Mis-
souri,, and Dyer of Missouri.
NO DISSENTING VOICE.
" was noticeable, however, that not
a dissenting voice was raised by the
committee against the proposal to
give the people of the District some
form OF suffrage, altho>--h opinion
seemed evenly divided as to the char
acter Of the suffrage to be extended.
1t appeared to be the unanimous
opinion of the committee on this
point that the supreme right OF Con-
gress to control District affairs
should not be taken away by any
resolution. That this was not the
purpose of the people of Washington
was assured by Congressman Bur

be made, and this right was not de-
MED.

the joint resolution offered by Mr..
Burroughs proposing an amendment to

loonists will be here within a few
hours. l met them Sunday after

They should arrive here about 2
o'clock this afternoon.
Lieut.. L. A. Kloor, jr., was in the
lead of the party. Tramping with
him was Lieutenant Hinton Lieu
tenant Farrell came next. All were
on snowshoes. They were delighted
to see a white man. They gave me
the first interview.

Only a person who has snowshoei
for days can appreciate the hardship
these men have suffered.
Lieutenant Kloor, the "kic,"
seemed in the best of health. HIM
tons features were drawn. Farrell
has two weeks growth of beard. .
Lieutenant Kloor, spokesman OF
the party, narrated their adventures.
After leaving Rockaway Point, i. l.,
on the morning of December 13, they
were caught in a severe storm.
1T was impracticable to land in
this wind" Kloor said. "We decided
to fly all night. Tuesday morning
we were up 5000. We had to throw
out nearly everything in the basket
to keep afloat.
About l o'clock Tuesday after
noon we thought we saw a house
and heard the barking of a dog. We
then brought down the balloon. A
rather rough landing was made, but
we were not injured"
| HAD TO EAT PIGEONS.
1--WE had nothing to eat but the
carrier pigeons. and the only water
we could find was in the holes where
the moose had paved up the snow,
| kloor continued.
| 1--WE built fires occasionally. I had
a box Of matches in my pocket,
which was fortunate.
| I'VE wandered in the forest until
| Friday, December II. On that day
we saw dogsled tracks, and we then
| felt we would soon be safe. About
an hour later we sighted an Indian.
The Indian took us to his cabin
and his wife gave us food. He went
to the Hudson Bay Company post
to notify them. The manager, Mr..
Rackham, took us in charge and out
htted us for the trip to Mattice."
