affairs for several years However,
the festivities surrounding the mar
riage Of Miss Helen Hay to Mr.. Payne
Whitney were perhaps the event OF
their residence here in which the
greatest public interest was centered.
After the marriage Of the second
daughter to Mr.. Wadsworth, which
event took place at the family summer
home, they were relieved of any
necessity of extending or accepting
hospitality outside Of that required by
official custom. And following the
death of Mr. Hay. the Wadsworths

Henry Adams, who resided next to
the Hay fesidence-and both of these
sites are now covered by the Hay
Adams House-was noted historian.
Mrs Adams died in 1885,. and the
Saint-Gaudens statue was erected to
her memory in Rock Creek Cemetery
in 1891. Saint -Gaudens, the cefe-
brated sculptor, was friend of the
Adams and one of the few of a small
group of friends privileged to visit
their home. and Mr.. Hay declared the
memorial to Mrs Adams as inde-

masterpiece. 1T is full of poetry and

link toward trade with the Far East,
and was to have far-reaching effect
upon the development of foreign de-
mand for the rich grain areas and ore
mines of the Middle West.
The need for fast mails and reliable
telegraph communication between ma
tions had long been apparent to the
merchants of Europe The victory
achieved by the successful laying OF
the first Atlantic cable was pointed
by the transmission Of news from
abroad Of the collision of the steamers
Arabia and Europa in rapid time,
which normally would have taken
weeks If carried by the mails.
THIS piece Of intelligence alone was
sunicient to prove the value Of an
ocean cable. But the victory was to
be short-lived. for by mid-october the
cable had expired because OF the IN
tensity Of electrical charges for which
the materials had not been sunciently
prepared.
In spite of the early defeat OF the
original cable, = meeting was called in
Paris In 1865 that was to have a pro-
found result in the stimulation OF

known as the International Bureau

it was to flow the law and order of the
international telegraphs for the next
so years, as administered by the great
Telegraph Union, to which every i'm

The first telegraph parley at Paris
was succeeded by the second at Rome,
in 1870. Five years later there was q
conference at st. Petersburg, to which
the United States was extended an in

ernment. The American commercial

retary of State Hamilton Fish, with
the result that the United States held
only q watching brief at the most mo-

He came to the latter office month
after the close of the Spanish Amer

great ability as diplomat in the
framing Of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty
to remove objections to the construc-

communications by the terms Of the
covention framed by the nations Of
Europe.
In 1927 the International Telegraph
Union met in Washington, D. c.,
simultaneously with the International
Radiotelegraph Union at the United
conference was one of the most i'm
portant held in the history of COM
munications, for the assignment OF
the radio spectrum was plotted out
by United States Government experts
in a new and novel form. Congress
appropriated $4,000 with which to
defray the necessary expenses of en-
tertaining the distinguished foreign
delegates and their technical experts,
who were luxuriously housed at the
Hotel Carlton and receptions, balls
and entertainments filled in the mo-
ments between plenary sessions and
committee meetings of the radio dip
lomats.
The era was the crossroads between
the use Of long wave and short wave
radio. The noted scientist, DR.. Hoyt-
Taylor. working at the Naval Labora-
tory at Bellevue, Anacostia, had just
perfected a new series Of transmitters
which were even then being installed
at the Naval Radio Station at Ar
lington, Va. But these modern
sets, which embraced the theory Of
using variety OF wave lengths best
suited to transcontinental transmits
sion, were not put into active use
until the last Of the foreign delegates
had set sail for Europe. Short-wave
transmission over long distances was
a success. But it was not fully ap-
preciated to what an extent for many
long months, due to the discreet silence
of the American experts.
RY 1881 the cat was out of the in
ternational bag. The Washington
treaty had gone into effect. Madrid
which had made the successful bid
for the next parley. was on the horizon
for 1882. The rise of broadcasting
had been q triumph, but chiefly for
the Americans, whose far-sighted tai
ents in the amateur field had culmi-
mated in their success in commercial
radio.
Between 1882 and 1888, when the
Telecommunications Conference closed
at Madrid and opened ut Cairo. are
only six years. But in that period
radio had become . vast international
force, extending to aviation, as well
as to communications, shipping and
broadcast interests.
