WILSON'S REPLY TO POPE
WON PAGES HIGH ACCLAIM
Declared Response to War
Cessation Plea Best Expressed Moral
and Political Reason for Struggle.

Pope that we cannot deal with the
present government of Germany unless
satisfaction guarantees are given
directly by the German people.
This had been said here but never, 1
think, said with official sanction and
surely never with convincing force.
Now that you have said it, it takes
precedence over every formula of
necessary demands. 1t is, of course,
the necessary demand. the necessary
condition of peace. 1t has had a tre-
mendous effect upon British opinion
and British resolution.
And 50 far as / can Judge, its effect
IN Germany has been and continues
TO be supreme. The violence with
which 1t is resented and the mobili-
zation of official opinion against 1t
tell the story. 1t is worth more than
the winning of a dozen great battles
or course, 1t means far more COM
ing from YOU than it could be made
TO mean coming from any subject of
a crowned" republic. The Crowned"
Is the trouble. Then, too, the British
DO not trust even the German people

CHICAGO. October 26.-James lie,
roy Asher, Lone Wolf of the pro-

ness in 130 prohibition cases now
pending and under indictment for
larceny and assault, died yesterday of
cerebral hemorrhage.
For a time the manner of Asher S
death aroused the suspicion of his
chief. +. c. Yellowley. prohibition ad-
ministrator for Illinois, who believed
Asher might have been poisoned by
some of his countless enemies among
bootleggers. An investigation was
under way when a post-mortem es-
tablished beyond doubt that death had
resulted from natural causes.
Had CoIorful Career.
Asher, as an enforcement officer,
had a colorful and exciting career
Accused of numbering a saloon keeper
during raid in Philadelphia, he was
acquitted. Later, as a revenue agent
In the Kentucky moonshiners' hills,
he worked to break up the dtstribu-
ton OF Illicit liquor manufactured in
that district
He caused the arrest of more than
100 persons by a series of raids. evi-
dence for which he obtained in the
disguise of an ice man, coal driver and
piona tuner.
Asher also was a familiar figure in
Baltimore, where he was the prosecu-
tons chief witness in hundreds OF
cases He headed many Baltimore
raidtng parties, and in turn was as
sailed by mobs on numerous occa-
sions. His spectacular methods of
his disguises and the unique
twists he gave TO his activities, lead
ing him, at Peoria, Ill, to open a
saloon under the name of Uncle
Sans Place" brought him into con-
tinual prominence. His sobriquet,
Lone Wolf" was won in the popular
belief that he worked single handed,
and the name stuck, even when it was
established that he had always had an

STATISTICAL SOCIETY
PLANNED IN CAPITAL
Importance of Statistics Is Out
lined to Local Men by DR..
Willford I. King.

The use of statistics has become
universal, and professional statisti-
cal work is making increasingly inn
portant contributions to national
welfare, Dr. WilIford T. King, author
and proDineut statistician, declared
in an address before a group of
Washing gton statisticians at the Grace
Dodge Hotel to consider the question
of forming the Washington Statisti-
cal Society. A committee to make a
further study of the matter was ap-
pointed and ordered to report later.
Statistics is at present doing for
economics and the other social
sciences what mathematics did for
astronomy, physics and chemistry"
said DR.. King. THE physical
sciences were far ahead of the social
sciences in perceiving the Importance
of. the quantitative method of
analysis, but the surprising Develop
ment of statistical technique in re-
cent years has made it possible for
the social sciences to forge ahead
at "a rate so rapid that it is not i'm
possible that they will soon be
abreast of the physical sciences in
their ability to formulate precisely
the laws upon which the social
sciences are based
DR.. E. Dana, Durand of the Depart
ment OF Commerce placed before the
members the proposal to organize
the Washington Statistical Society as
n branch of the. American Statistical
Association. Following general dis
cussion of the plan, DR. Durand. DR..
Joseph A Hill, E. A. Goldenveiser,
Fred G. Tryon and Lewis Merriam
were appointed to study the matter
and report later.

ORATORY CONTEST
SEATS IN DEMAND
Washington Auditorium OBJ
tanned to Accommodate Big
Attendance Expected.

To meet the unprecedented demand
for seats at the final 1925 national
oratorical contest. May s, the Wash
fngton Auditorium. with a seating
capacity of close to 5000 people, has
been obtained
For weeks requests for reservations
for that evening have been pouring
in at contest headquarters, S23 Star
Building. Beginning with a few let
ters shortly after the announcement
of the second national contest early
in February. these requests have been
increasing in number until they now
show clearly that fully twice as many
people will seek accommodations for
the finals this year as last.
Big Demand for Seats.
The finals for 1925. were held in
Memorial Continental Hall, from
which approximately 5000 people
were turned away on the evening OF
the meeting. The growth in popular
interest, even over that of last year.
is shown in the fact that whereas
applications for seats last year did
not begin coming in until only few
weeks before the meeting itself, this
year the demand already is as heavy
every day as it was last year on the
very eve of the gathering. App1ica-
tions are being filed In the order in
which they are received. and will be
taken care of in the same order at
the proper time.
An interesting feature OF the ap-
plications now coming in is that a
number of them are from those high
in official and diplomatic circles. In
addition there has been a growing
stream of applications from various
parts of the country. Delegations
which came hundreds OF miles last
year for the meeting are already
writing in expressing their intention
of doing the same thing this year.
Expect Brilliant Audience.
The audience which will hear the
seven best speakers in sthe high
schools of the Nation contest for
honors and $4,000 in prizes will be
one of the most brilliant in the his
tory of the National Capital.
Elaborate preparations are being
made for broadcasting the program

Just how the London music was
brought to the American receiving
sets is a noteworthy example of radio
engineering and coordination of
radio facilities. Indeed. never before
N,intil the Radio Corporation of Amer
lea started the TRANSATLANTIC radio
feats, had a message or music been
broadcast from one station to be
pieked up by another station and re-
broadcast from there to be picked up
by a third station for rebroadca-sting
TO the radio audience.
The signals were sent over land
wires from the Hotel Savoy in Lon
don to the high-power station at
Chelmsford, Eng, with call letters
5xx. There the signals were trans
ferred to 20,o06-watt radio tele-
phone transmitter for transmission of
a 1,600-meter wave. On this side of
the Atlantic these signals were in
tercepted on a superheterod odyne re-
ceiver operating in conjunction with
a. 1o-mile wave antenna, located at
Belfast, Me, thus spanning the ocean,
or distance somewhat less than
5000 miles.
The greatly attenuated radio tele-
phone signals reaching Belfast from
Chelmsford had to be amplihed all
most countless times before being
fed into short.wave transnitter for
rvbroAdcAsting. The next link in the
chain was provided by short waves

Corporation of America, in New York
City. Here Belfast's wave was picked
up on a modified regenof1ex circuit
receiver designed especially for short
wave work, and again reinforced by
means of special audio frequency
ampli6ers.
Thus far the London signals were
brought down as far as the outskirts
or New York City. The next step
was to relay the reinforced signals
over land wires to the control room
of station WIZ. In the Aeolian Hall
Building, in the heart of New York
