WORLD TELEPHONE
COMMUNICATION
Some Inventive genius has devel
oped a method whereby telephonic
i ommunlcatlon across tho North
American continent has not only be
vome possible but is in fact a reality.
Another delver into the mysterious
realms of electrical research has dis
covered a means of telephoning over
the submarine cable.
In both cases the initial experiments
have been entlrelv successful. Through
the combination of the two we are as
sured that it is only a matter of a
year or two before we will be enabled
to converse with Europe, and possibly
Asia, from any of the larger cities on
the American continent in exactly the
same manner and with the same ease
as wo at present communicate between
home, store or office It is asserted
that the recent experiment, whereby
Now York and San Francisco yvere
placed in communication, developed
beyond the preadventure of a doubt
that communication can be maintained
with the same ease as is possible in
merely telephoning across the street.
The voices were as easily distinguish
able as is usually the case in the more
common forms of telephonic communi
cation, and a remarkable clarity in
tone and expression was also noted.
All of which brings home the fact that
the world, through (tie inventive genius
of mankind has been, to use the pop
ular phrase, "made smaller still." It
is a fur cry from those more primitive]
days when man was wont to deliver1
his message over the far-spreading!
leagues of earth on foot or by means
of that fleet-footed human servant,
the horse, to tho present day when tho
ringing of a bell or tho lifting of a
telophone receiver will place him In
almost Instantaneous communication 1
with the uttermost parts of the earth
and verily when it shall be accom
plished man will have, indeed, reduced
the world to almost infinitesimal di
mensions. Upward through the ages
man has ever sought to conquer time
and distance. That inborn desire to
reach outward, beyond his visible
sphere and to place himself in touch
with those things which lay beyond
his immediate ken has been one of
tho primal factors in his development.
In the beginning, a weak and puny
thing, hedged about with physical lim
itations. his sphere of influence Htarce
extending beyond the reach of his
arm, he has at length almost achieved
the period when ho has but to will It
so and he may project his voice to the
ends of the earth in almost utter dis
regard of time and distance which for
ages have been his most tyrranlcal
masters. This may be said to be
practically the ultimate of his achieve
ments tn spreading his influence over
the earth While he probablv may lie
able to greatly exceed the distance
conquering means he at present em
ploys to transport himself from place
to place, yet even the utmost develop
ment in that direction will be but
trifling in the matter of extending his
further control and influence over the
earth as compared to the possibilities
latent in the anticipated world com
munication which will be established
through intercontinental telephony.
World communication through the
medium of the telephone will do more
than anything that man has so far
conceived to bring the human race
into closer understanding. While at
present we have a fairly comprehen
sive method of world communication,
it is also apparent that it is almost
totally lacking In the matter of ex
pressing the personalitv of the indi
i vidual Mere words conveyed over
, miles of distance and written on a
scrap of paper are dry and soulless
-things and while they may lie totally
■adequate to convey our Ideas, they are
-till lacking in that essential to good
| understanding, freedom of expresison
land also in that indefinable touch of
reality and feeling which can be con
veyed only through the medium of the
spoken word.
THE BRITISH REPLY
—
There Is no surprise in the British i
'reply received ut Washington, to flic'
{state department's note last December i
protesting against vexations interfer
ence with American commerce by
British warships It might have been
written by any one. anywhere at any
time, so ohvtous are the positions
| taken and the line of argument
fjreat Britain has been fortunate in
{the progress of events since the Amer
ican protest was tiled The recent
course of Germany gives a new signi
ficance to every point made in the
iepic Besides the whole field of in
terest has been altered slid public ir
ritation in the United Stales is no
longer scute over British interference
I with our commerce In the past It has
shifted to threatened (German outrages
on our ships in the future For this
change in public sentiment to her dis
advantage Germany has only herself
{to blame.
The British pleas nre In effect two:
lil) That England has done no act
i regarding our ships which was not
{forced on her by the exigencies and
Justified by the well ascertained laws
of war. »if) That nothing she lias dona
has caused tangible injury to Ameri
can interests Both contentions ate
advanced with great good temper and
urbanity of phrase it would be foolish
to say that a strong prima facie case
had not been made out on both heads,
American acts and claims in former
wars and American evidence as to pre
sent conditions being freely used to
back up the British position.
Naturally this is not a last won]. It
furnishes no reason why the United
States government shall not exercise
the most watchful care over the in
terests of the national flag and the
ships it covers. Equally tt estops in
no way proceedings for redress and
compensation for wrongs already com
mitted But it takes the controversy
out <>f the area of superheat and
stormy talk. England makes no
sweeping promises, but she displays
an unmistakable desire to go as far
as her vital needs will allow in avoid
ing offense to this country This in
clination to peace and amity may not
only be read in the words but felt in
the tone of Sir Kdwnrd Orey’s note It
is a fair guess that had relations are
•averted at least for the present in this
j direction, and for this the peace-loving
| American people will he profoundly
I grateful.—New York Sun.
