which every American may be
proud. The La Fayette Radio sta
tion is the only radio station in the
world that can belt the globe with
its electrified ether waves.
An inscription has been placed
upon the main building of the plant,
the exact words Of which | will give
you presently, but ! sometimes
think a briefer inscription might
have been better. For example:
Il have annihilated distance. 7
have made the remotest corner Of
the world my next door neighbor.' >
There is no spot anywhere OH the
earth's surface where, if high
power station existed, message
sent from the La Fayette would not
be instantly received.
France gave America the immortal
work OF Bartholdi-"Liberty En-
tightening the World" America has
given France, through the genius
and enterprise OF her navy, a fin de
steele variation on the same theme.
When the tidings OF human
progress, Of commerce and industry
and science and politics flash from
La Fayette to the high power sta
tons of two hemispheres, in very
real and significant sense it is Lib
crty Enlightening the World!'
Towers 1872 Feet High.
La Fayette station consists of
eight lofty towers, on immense con-
crete foundations, arranged in two
rows 1920 feet apart.
4. Each tower rises to a height of
S32 feet, nearly 800 feet higher than
the Washington monument.
The system affords an antenna
area Of SGT, 200 square feet, far
larger than that of any other radio
station, The longitudinal antenna
wires are bronze cables, supported
by what the wireless people cali
triatics. The latter stretch across
the aisle formed by the two rows OF
towers. The antenna wires are $50
feet above the ground.

to eight times as strong as those OF

failed to send a thrill through his
soul was "Allo! Allo. S. o. S." That
call vibrating through the ether
meant that somewhere an American
or allied vessel was being attacked
by a U-boat. Every naval vessel
which heard il went hurrying at
once to the scene of its origin.
Air Full of Distress Cries.
Sometimes in the war zone the
air seemed full of "Allos." Nearing
the European coast ship could
catch the wireless for hundreds Of
miles. One moment it might hear a
distress signal from some vessel off
Ireland, and the next from some
craft being attacked in the Bay Of
Biscay. s-
Morale was stimulated and helped
tremendously by wireless. Our
wireless news service was greatly
appreciated by the men at sea. 1t
kept them almost as we'll informed
as to what was happening at home,
and as to the vital happenings in
other parts of the world, as if they
had been able to get the last edi-
ton Of the home town paper.
At 10 o'clock each night ships
Cleared for the Navy Press, and
we gave out a complete summary
OF the news of America.
Perhaps one of the most interest
ing and useful things we did with
wireless was to establish radio COM.
pass stations, which, by listening to
the direction from which a wave
length came with greatest force,
could determine ships position at
sea.
Great Help to Ships.
These stations OF course were orig
inally erected as a means of locating
submarines, and in this work they
proved so successful that the u
boats hardly dared use their wireless
off our coast. Since they finished
their U-boat job, however, they have
proved Of the greatest value to navi-
CATION. There are some 20 of them
OIL the Atlantic, Pacific and gulf
coasts, and any ship that becomes
lost in fog, or otherwise confused
as to its reckoning, can obtain by
wireless from the radio compass its
exact position. II it is in danger
Gus waters it will be given sailing
directions which will enable it to
steer safely into port.
Think of what this would have
meant to Columbus, or Magellan,
or Captain Cook!
Not few inventions which were
designed specifically for war use are
now proving of applicable value to
the ways and needs of peace, but ]
doubt if any Of them will do more
for the saving of life and the IA
cilitating of human intercourse and
traffic than the radio compass.
Sometimes I think the achieve

From one room in the Navy de-
partment--the transocean room, we
called tive could communicate
with almost any country in west
ern Europe.
This room had direct connection
with the high-power sending sta
tions at Annapolis, Sayville. l.. l.,
and New Brunswick and Tucker
ton, N. J. Messages flung from
these stations were picked tip in
France and speeded on over net

to any point where it was possible
to place a receiving instrument
from the rear areas to the trenches.
What Might Have Happened?
The tremendous advantage af-
forded by this means Of communica-
ton may be the better appreciated
by postulating two Ills

communication and

What might have happened?
Nobody can say what might have
happened. u would have bee a
potentially dangerous situation, and
one of sore trial for Washington
and the American people.
Things moved so quickly and
complete transformations occurred
with such amazing suddenness, that
telegraphic isolation from Europe
for "a hours might have been
fraught with most serious conse-
quences. There were occasions
when critical questions came UP,
and prompt decisions were required.
1t was Of supreme importance then
that there should be direct, instan-

taneous and uninterrupted conlnuni-
cation between Washington and
London or Paris or Chaumont, or
any other OF the vital centers of
control and direction.
AS matter of fact the Germans
did cut some Of the cables, but that
was the least of our worries once
we had developed a complete system
of wireless communication.
Marvellous System Perfected.
Had the war run into the year
1919 we would have had in opera
ton the most marvellous instrumen-
tality for gathering and disseminat-
ing intelligence that human genius
has yet conceived.
Planned in 1917 this greatest Of
wireless plants was approaching
completion when hostilities ended.
Work was then discontinued, but
later was resumed and completed
last year.
The United States navy undertook
the erection OF the wireless station
and structure at Croix d'Hins, near
Bordeaux, and named the completed
plant the La Fayette. ?
1t is today. and is likely to be for
years to come, the most powerful
radio system in existence. When It
was put into operation the following
radiogram, addressed to me, came
vibrating into the transocean room
of the Navy department.
This is the first wireless message
to be heard around the world, and
marks a milestone on the road OF
scientific achievement.

Only One in the World.
The message is no empty boast. l.

on the main building, with the fol
lowing inscription:
Conceived for the purpose OF in
suring adequate and uninterrupted

ties between the American expedi-
tionary forces engaged in the world
war and the government of the

Robs Sea of Loneliness.
One Of the great achievements OF
wireless has been to rob the sea OF
its loneliness, and OF much of its
old-time peril. Before Marconi
worked his miracle a ship that had
been driven from travelled ocean
lanes by storm, whose propelle.
shaft had broken, or whose engine
had gone out OF business. might lie
for days unseen and unable to COM
municate with any source OF help.
Helpless to steer a course, and at
the mercy Of wave and wind, il
might be wrecked and sunk and none
left to tell the story. Such things
have not been infrequent in the an
nails of the sea.
Only those who have been to sea
know the sense Of loneliness, OF ut
ter isolation. of remoteness from any
source of help which one feels when.
standing on deck or bridge and
looking around the full circle Of the
unbrokcn horizon, one sees nothing.
absolutely nothing, but water-a vast
monotony OF undulating water.
And the remoteness was as hope
less and as helpless as it felt until
wireless came.
Now, if ship gets into difficulty
and needs help It splutters its S. O.
S. from its wireless, confident that
it will be heard and answered.
Talked With All Ships.
During the war we talked to all
our ships, anywhere, whenever we
had anything to say; and they talked
to one another. We sent them sub
marine warnings and routings and
all kinds of information and orders.
Often we would send, simultane-
ously, as many as 50 or 50 messages
to all kinds Of vessels, and they
would be picked up by them without
difficulty.
At the same time we were send
ing. our stations along the coast
were intercepting every word or
signal sent out by ships at sea.
Sometimes "the air was full Of
thera," as the operators said.
The wireless operator in.his little
room had ears for the world, and all
the world spoke to him. There
came to him its cries, its warnings
its appeals, sometimes its curses. and
sometimes even its laughter. Many
a secret he heatd-and kept.

Nomination Of Edwards
As Brigadier General
Opposed by Democrat:

Washington, April 23.-Strong op-

was voiced at meeting of the senate
military committee to confirmation
OF the nomination OF Brig. Gen.
Clarence r. Edwards, first COM
mander overseas of the Goth (New
England National Guard) division,
to be a major general. The subject
was discussed at a conference with
Secretary Weeks, who urged con-
firmation of the officers recently
nominated by President Harding.
The opposition to promotion of
General Edwards was said to have
been based upon his military record,
although Secretary Weeks said the
War department files contained no

with his release from the command
of the division some time before the
armistice, A more complete investi-
cation Of the records, il was said,
was suggested, however, and the
secretary was requested 10 supple
mcnt information given the commit
tee. Meanwhile, action on all the
nominations was deferred.

AS the completion of this legis-
lation, the provisions of the new Code
OF Canon Law may be quoted.
Canon lib. Parents are bound by
most grave obligation to provide to the
best of their ability for the religious
and moral as well as for the physical
and civil education of their children,
and for their temporal we'll being.
Canon 1927. ST. From childhood all
the Faithful must be so educated that
not only are they taught nothing con-
trary to faith or morals, but that re-
iigious and moral training takes the
chief place.
SZ Not only parents, as in Canon
1l13. but all who take their place, pos
sess the right and the grave DUTY of
providing Christian education for
their children.
Canon 1873. 81. In every elemen-
tary school religious instruction. ad-
apted to the age Of children, must be
given.
81. Young people attending high
schools or colleges must be given a
more complete instruction in religion,
and the Bishops will take care that
this be done by priests conspicuous for
zeal and learning
Canon 1874. Catholic children must
not attend non-Catholic, neutral or
mixed schools, that is, such as are
also open to non-Catholics. 1t is for
the Bishop of the place alone to decide
according to the instructions of the
Apostolic See, in what circumstances
and with what preca~tion attendance
at such schools may be tolerated.
without danger of perversion to the
pupils.
Canon 1875. The Church has the
right to establish schools of every
grade, not only elementary schools,
but high schools (medias) and colleges
(superiores)
Canon 1879. 1S1. Where there are
no Catholic schools, as contemplated
in Canon 1873, steps are to be taken.
especially by the local Bishops, that
they be established.
81. 1t is desirable that Catholic
university be founded wherever the
public universities are not imbued
with Catholic teaching and feeling.
So. The Faithful must not neglect
to lend their aid, according to their
ability, for the establishment and sup
port of Catholic schools
Canon 1881. 81. In all schools the
religious training of the young is sub
ject to the authority and inspection Of
the Church.
81. 1t is the right and duty of the
Bishops to take care that nothing is
taught or done against the Faith or
sound morals in any of the schools in
their territory.
So. The Bishops also have the right
to approve the teachers of religion and
the textbooks, and further to require
that texts be dropped or teachers re-
moved, when the good of religion or
morality demands this action
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1921-08-27

paying honor to the great Catholic
philosophical poet of the thirteenth
century:
Why We Honor Dante.
''The entire world is pausing this
year to commemorate the six
hundredth anniversary of the death of
Dante Alighieri, one of the greatest
thinkers in histary and one of the
most attractive and significant figures
among the many whom great age
produced
Throughout Europe and America,
there will be appropriate exercises tC
mark the anniversary of the death of
Dante. In Europe elaborate prepara-
tions have been made for ceremonies
OF an academic, popular, or official
nature. Honorary as well as academic
committees have been constituted and
various publications undertaken. In
the United States gratifying
response has met the suggestion that
the debt of our own country to the
poet and to the era which he
symbolizes, no less than to the nation
of which he is one of the greatest
honors, should be acknowledged in a
sincere and impressive way.
1T was thought that in the city of
Washington an observance of a simple
but dignified character should be ar
ranged, in which the highest magis-
trates of the Nation should participate
together with suitable representatives
of the religious, philosophical, and
cultural activities of the United
States.''
