ALASKA MILITARY CABLE HAS WONDERFUL GROWTH Annual Report of Chief Signal 0ffi- cer Shows Subtantial Gain
 Tn Earnings

The governments cable and tele- graph system. connecting Seattle and Alaska is costing less and earning more as time goes on, and made an especially favorable showing in the last fiscal year, is shown by the an- nual report of Major General Charles Nick. saltzman. chief signal officer of the army, which is made public
 During the year the signal corps rendered an important and useful service to the people of Alaska by means of the signal corps cable sys- tenn connecting Seattle with the principal cities on the south coast of Alaska, and the chain of radio stations in the interior of that ter ritory.
 The sum of $287921.25 was turn ed into the treasury of the United States from tolls on commercial messages transmitted for the people. In addition the system handled free of charge official dispatches for va rious bureaus of the government worth $140,562.94, making the earn ing power of the system $428,4S4.19.
 The Washington-Alaska Military Cable and Telegraph System was con- structed primarily for military pur- poses; now it's greatest use is com mercial, which is reflected in the growing receipts of the system Since 1907 constant study has been given to the question of replace ment of the extensive land telegraph lines, in that year consisting of ap- proximately 5000 miles of telegraph wire. The replacement of the land wires by radio was initiated in 1908 by the installation of spark sets with which it was practicable to handle traffic during certain seasons only Later special signal corps sets were installed, for the smaller stations, those having a range of 3Ot miles, and for the larger stations, those capable of working with every sta ton in the Territory.

It is something that will not cost Alaska a penny, as far as equipment is concerned. River boats and gasboats will meet the air liners, and take passengers and mail daily to any outlying points. Alaska will at last, we hope, solve the stop over bugaboo."

Hard On Balloons

One little stunt which was not on the Fourth of July program but which furnished much merriment was performed by Judge H. w. Horn of Tokeen. It seemed uncanny the way balloons would burst if they got near him. At first it looked as though a balloon burst every time he smiled, but close observers insisted that he did not smile until afterward. At any rate children and others with balloons soon learned to keep out of his range.

Editor Of The Congregationalist
It is said that the conversion OF
General Feng, the Christian gen.
eral of China, began away back in
the days of the Boxer rebellion when
he was impressed with the calmneSs
and courage of Christian mission
aries as they faced martyrdom.
He realized that these people had
something that he did not possess,
and this influence ultimately
changed his whole life. 1t should
be said, by the way, that those who
know General Feng most intimate
ly and who have followed his course
throughout the years speak highly
of his character and repudiate the
attacks that have been made upon
him.
One recalls this influence in the
life of General Feng in modern days
as an illustration of what must have
happened to a far greater man than
General Feng as he witnessed the
killing of the first Christian martyr.
The full story of Pauls CONVEX
sion is not given to us. We have
the vivid account of it's dramatic
elimination on the journey to Da-
mascuS, but we are left to our
imagination, and to our reasoning
from what has happened in the
lives of other people, to fill in all
the details of the story.
One can very easily realize, how
ever, what must have happened as
this earnest, imprisoned, consci-
entious young man held the gar
ments Of those who stoned Stephen
to death. AS he heard the earnest
prayer of the Christian martyr that
his prosecutors might be forgiven
and his words commencing his soul
to God, Paul must have had very
deep misgivings Of heart.
Was he right in prosecuting after
all? Was not this young man as
earnest and conscientious as him
self? One can see quite easily how
the germs of doubt that we're to
become the first steps toward
new faith lodged at that very hour
in Pauls mind.
One can understand, also, that it
was with something more than
merely formal disparagement or
humility that Paul afterward re-
ferred to himself as the "chief sin
ner." He recognized that he had
been a participation in a murder
and that he had been guilty of
helping to do'to death one of Gods
choice children.
There is always hope for a man
who is intensely in earnest and who
is supremely honest, though when
enlightenment comes to such man,

Vets Strive
to Win Back
Lost Honors
Youngsters Lead in Final
Olympic Trials at Har-
ward Stadium.
BY FRANK GETTY
United Press Sports Editor

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, July T.
Smarting under defeats inflicted by
newcomers to athletic fame in the
first days trials Americas foremost
track and field stars, Olympic vet
Grams end national champions went
out to Harvard Stadium today de-
termined to win back their lost
prestige.
With four Sprinters who never
trod foreign track in an Olympiad
elected to represent the United
States in the 100 meter dash at
Amsterdam, the stars who were
eliminated Friday proposed to blaze
a winning trail for themselves this
afternoon in the 200 meter dash.
Competition in the latter event,
therefore, promised to be even more
severe than that which saw a new
National sprint king crowned at
dusk Friday in the person of Frank
-Wykoff, Glendale high school boy.
A number of old Olympic stars
were rubbed right off the slate as far
as bookings for the S. S. Roosevelt
are concerned. Charley Paddock,
jackson v. Scholz, Frank Hussey,
this trio represents but a minor por-
ton of the casualties when Wykoff
started scorching up the soggy Gin
ders.
Other athletes who were out to re-
deem themselves this afternoon
were Johnny Kuck, the Kansas shot
putter, who was beSted in his spe-
cialty during the trials by H. Her
man Brix of Washington University,
and De Hart Hubbard, record holder,
who could do no better than third IN
the trials of the broad jump.
The chances of the South to cut
in upon the Olympic fame, which
is piling up today for the Far West,
are enhanced by the presence on
soldiers field of Eddie Hamm, a
long-legged lad from Georgia Tech.
Hamm, in qualifying for the finals,
Jumped more than foot farther
than ALT Bates, intercollegiate titlist,
who also outdistanced Hubbard.
It was quite an upset to have Bob
McAllister, the ex-cop, and Hank
Russell, the former collegiate cham
pion, lead to the tape such sterling
sprinters in the final test, as Scholz,
Claude Bracey, the Rice Institute
flyer, and Jimmy Quinn of Holy
Cross. Bracey was fourth.

Sunday School Lesson

turning him from fanaticism to
tolerance, and from blind zeal to
open minded and open-hearted
love, the revulsion of feeling is in
tense.
Undoubtedly one of the profound
incentives of Pauls Christian life
is found in the fact that in his mis-
guided zeal he had done SO much
that was wrong. AS he had fought
against Christ and the Christians,
so he felt a passionate zeal to undo
the wrong that he had done.
If he had prosecuted the church
he was determined that he should
now be as jealous in its progress
and upbuilding, There is hope for a
man who can enter into life with
such earnestness. All great forces
are capable of being directed for
good or for evil, but nothing much
is ever accomplished where there is
no intensity or power of aggression.
Undoubtedly throughout Pauls
life there was the clear witness OF
Stephens last hour. If Paul had
ever doubted himself, if he had
ever questioned the rightness of the
Christian way or his place in that
way, the remembrance of that hour,
when he had participated in. Ste-
phen's martyrdom, would have been
sufficient to recall him to his high
task.
It is a great thing when a man
once discovers that his earnestness
and his energies have been misdi-
rected, that he should retain his
forcefulness for years of right
eousness and enlightenment. There
is a danger at such time that a
man may become discouraged, that
in reaction from his fanaticism he
may simply become inert and in
different.
That has happened again and
again in life. The world is full of
people who have been full of zeal
for various causes whose faith and
hope have been shattered by some
experience of failure or disillu-
SlOnUl6IlG.
Paul did not go back, but he went
on. All the passion of his being
as a prosecutor was brought over
into his life as preacher and mis-
sionary. He felt resting upon him
the demand of a supreme obliga-
ton.
"Woe is unto me If I preach not
the gospel" 1t was the only way
that he could atone for the past,
but above all, it was the only
course in harmony with the inspi-
ration of that divine love in Jesus
Christ which made Pauls restora-
ton possible and which trans
formed a chief of sinners into the
sublimest of saints and Christian
leaders.
