The fact hat a person in New York City could carry On a conversation with another person in San Francisco was recognized as pf vital importance to the coun try as a whole, and many organizations and associations made . telephonic connection with remote cities a feature of their social programs. Recently another such party was held. ' This time it was wireless telephoning. President Hard in at Washington talked with President Menocal at Havana, Cuba, and both were .connected with Catalina Island in the Pacific Ocean. This wide extension of the area of telephone communication is of value in many ways,' facilitating, as it . will, contact between governments, business concerns and pri vate individuals. , There is another interesting feature of the most modern inventions such as wireless telegraphy and telephony and avia tion. These new devices of the services of the civilized nations. They are penetarting into wilderness and desert and junglo where primitive races live and where the automobile and the steam railroads have been unable to go. The wireless and the airplane wait for no slow develop ment through the various steps of knowledge and ; civiliza tion, but carry their achievements into regions and among peoples that have scarcely altered their mode of living for many hundreds of years. It is said that the nomads of the desert regard the airplane as a matter of course, and that inland China, devqid'of every other device of modern science, is eager for the erection of wireless stations. , : The civilized nations which are thus violently invading backward lands have a great responsibility toward the inhab itants. It is possible that we know as little about them their traditions, their religions and their customs as they do about us. The temptation to exploit them, to alter their mode of living and thinking to suit our standards, is greut. j Yet modern civilization will fail of achieving its noblest pur poses if it fails to use its scientific tools to destroy their ancient customs and ideals without giving them something truly better. . MAY 1 FOR Only a few days remain before May 1, when Germany must bring her dallying to an end and start upon actual pay ment of her debt. In interviews with news i 'correspondents and foreign i'cln'osentutiyes iiihc had expressed' herself as ihav; tog, a definite lan for mefctiiig1 hernbUIgntions and honestly te'hdiilg to carry it out She declared herself 'done with 'at tempts at evasion or efforts to split tho Allies. AS the adventuress in the melodrama is fond of hissing. ''We shall see what . we.ffhsll.oe .Manjfestly no more time cart' -bo" wasted in arguring with Germany. There is no ques tion of her guilt in starting the war, or the horrors with which sho conducted it, or her obligation to make as full reoaration ns can be made she is able to do much more than she has yet oliorea to ao. Germany has kept the world upset long enough..- May 1 should see her on tho road to just jwyment of her debts or should see the allied armies onlhe road to Berlin. UNDER 11 IK YOKE.
