Beirut, Asiatic Turkey, May 8. An
investigator who has just returned
here from a trip to Kessab reports
that all the American property at that
place has been completely destroyed by
the Moslem raiders. The American
property there consisted of a girls'
high school under the direction of Miss
Effie N. Chambers. Three-quarters of
the native houses also have been de
stroyed, but the Armenian church and
the new Protestant school building are
standing. Almost all of the people
who fled from Kessab have returned to
find their houses looted. They are ab
solutely destitute. Some food and
clothing are being distributed, but
there is no system in the work and the
supplies are inadequate.
One band of Turkish reserves has re
turned to the town, but as they took

French Government Will Dismiss E

Paris, May 8. Warned in. advance
that to strike means dismissal from the
service, the members of the Fost, lel-
egraph & Telephone Employes assoda
tion in various cities have already vot
ed in principle for a general strike, and
the congress of railroad men has order
ed a referendum on the question of or
dering a strike and has appointed a
strike committee.
That a strike will result is a foregone
conclusion. The cities where it. has
beendecided upon include several of
the largest industrial centers, such as
Lyons and Havre. The time to strike
alone appears to be undecided, having
been left by the local unions to the
general strike committee of each or
ganization.
The determination of the government
to fight to a finish the question of the
right of state emploves to strike is
shown by the declaration of M. Bar
thou, the minister of public works,
that the government, in the event of
an attempt being made to strike, will

"Hello, Paris! This is New York."
To start a conversation like this
across the universe seems like an
achievement beyond the dream of a
Jules Verne or the imaginative picture
of a Bellamy Storer, yet in the busiest
city of the world, New York, such an
experiment will take place shortly,
with every assurance of success. On
this occasion, when science announces
its triumph to the world, society of the
nations will offer its congratulations in
a unique and unrivaled n an ler, and
will feature on its social calendar a
luncheon at which Frederick Townsend
Martin will preside, that for interest
and charm will make all past society
events seem coinmonp'ace, when the
first wireless luncheon will take place
in the salon of the Hotel Plaza.
While this luncheon is being served
a voice will speak uniting two of the
greatest nations of history. It will be
the voice of America's most prominent
society man reading a message of Pres
ident Taft to President Falheres of
France. It will be transmitted to Mrs.
Mora Blatch DeForest in the Metropol
itan tower, the talented pioneer of her
Bex in this field and foremost woman
civil engineer in the world, who will
receive this message from the Plaza and
send it over a radio wireless telephone
at the rate of 186,000 miles a second,
to a fair daughter of France in the
Eiffel tower.
The salon will be decorated to re
semble a forest. Trees will be in full
bloom and birds singing from their
branches. Presiding at this table will
be Mr. Frederick 'Townsend Martin
who will be the guest of the American
Wireless association of which Dr. De
Forest is president. The guests will
be leading society people and scientific
men of note. Mons. Etienne Lianel,
consul general of France, representing
the French government and one of its
guests of honor, has said that if wire
less telephony is brought to a state of
perfection it will become a political
and diplomatic time saver.
The table will represent the Atlantic
ocean. At one end will be the Metro
politan tower, architecturally raised in
candy ; at the other end will be the
Eiffel tower. On this miniature ocean
will be small ships of various nations
sailing back and forth. The shore
landings of both France and America
will be appropriately represented
The menus will be small telephone
directories, and the dishes will be list
ed as telephone numbers. The place
cards will be wireless messages sent
from the Ritz Carleton in France to
the guests assempled at the Plaza in
America. These messages will be re
ceived through wireless table phones
permitting the guests at both tables to
converse with each other, although
separated by half a world,
The waiters will be summoned by
wireless telephone and at the end car
riages will be called by this means.
The favors will be small radio spark-
less wireless telephone outfits of very
light weight and will be utilized by the
guests in the ceremonies attending the
luncheon and carried away to commem
orate the latest gigantic feat of mod
ern science,
It will take just one-fortieth of a
second for the message to travel across
the Atlantic and about one seventh of
a second to go around the world. Fol
lowing this, mutual toasts will be
given by the guests of this wireless
luncheon who will be separated by an
ocean, yet able to converse as if face
to face.
The value of this marvelous scien
tific and mechanical feat, can hardly be

first half dozen scientific wonders of
all time. Its effect upon the trans
mission of commercial business will be
revolutionary, and will mean that we
can communicate with Europe Mt the
cost now prevailing for a domestic tel
egram,
The great station in . the Metropoli
tan tower is now .being rushed to a
Btage of completion. This will be ab'
solutely the finest wireless station in
the world. Its cost is not comparabl
to that of other equipments, as the sta
tion comprises all sorts of experiment
ing apparatus. It is thought that
$300,000 would not cover the outlay if
a structure .as high as the Metropolitan
tower had to be erected especially for
tbiwork. As long as the tower has
already been constructed, the cost, out
side of the apparatus, will be neglig
ible.
The workings of the radio wireless
paone are wonaeriuuy simple wnen
the complex problems involved and
overcome in its creation are considered.
In telephoning, the operator talks
into the mouthpiece exactly as with
the wire telephone and listens for a
reply through a head phone instead of
a receiver.- In order to get into com
munication with a wireless telephone
station, it becomes necessary to get
the instrument to the known tune of
the other station and then press the
buzzer key which calls the person to
the phone at the other end. The con
versation is then carried on as if the
two operators were face to face. '
The mechanical principles upon
which the radio wireless telephone de
pend are simple enough, although there
is a great difference of opinion upon
the actual explanation of the phenome
non of wireless telephony. Speech is
the forming of very rapid and every
varying serit of vibrations in the air,
and their measurement by the nerves
of the ear. Owing to the resistance of
the atmosphere, these vibrations grow
weaker and at last disappear as we get
farther from the source of disturbance.
Telephony is the art of translating
these vibrations into vibrations of ether
whose lesser resistance enables them
to be carried to great distances fcr the
translation into air vibrations af-ain,
as only the air vibrations can be meas
ured by the ear. In the w:rel?M tele
phone the air waves are translated into
the vibrations of an electrical discharge
which oscillates the ether.
The ethor waves, sent out by trans
mitting station, having been there
modihed by the human voice, are
changed back at the receiving station
into such form as to elfect the receiver
and cause the exact air vibrations
which were made to modulate the
transmitting current, and therefore,
he words of the speaker are heard ex
actly as spoken.
Dr. DeForest bases his claims for
success on his past experiments with
the wireless telephone at the sugges
tion of Admiral Evans, who conducted
the experiments on board his nugdhip,
the Connecticut, and another vessel.
Every battleship, cruiser or torpedo
boat of the great Pacific fleet wus
equipped with radio wireless tele
phones before setting out on the mem
orable cruise. These instruments were
given a ' thorough trial in inter-Bhip
communication and in conversation
with several wireless stations on the
Pacific coast.
In the meantime, the young inventor
has not been content to rest on the
laurels obtained from his successful
work in the navy and has carried on
many experiments, both at home and
abroad. In May, 1908, from the Eiffel
tower, wircloss messages were sent by
the radio telephone to every wireless
station in France. A warship off
Marseilles, nearly 600 miles away,
heard the transmitted messages just as
distinctly as did the stations near
Paris. While doing this, Dr. DeForest
had equipped several of the vessels of
the Italian navy and the instruments
met with Euch decided success that an
arrangement has been practically con
eluded ior the equipment of the entire
navy.
Mrs. DeForest is quite as interesting
as her Inventor husband. &ne grad
uated from Cornell university in the
difficult science of civil engineering,
She was the first and only woman to
graduate from an Eastern college in
this profession. After her graduation
honors were heaped upon her until she
stood before the world as its foremost
woman hydraulic engineer, and a re
markable example of woman s Intel
lectual equality with man.
She was the first woman ever elect
ed to membership in the American So
ciety of Civil Engineers. She helped
to build the greatest water works sys
tem in the world s history, being on the
engineering stait charged witn the
building of the $161,000,000 Catskill
system. In June, 1907, she was elect
ed fellow of Cornell university, an
honor rarely conferred upon women.
While at Cornell she proved herself to
be tho peer of any of the male athletes.
She is a loader in the equal rights
movement and various movements de
signed to improve the social condition
of all women. And now she further
distinguishes herself by being the first
woman to engage in wireless telephony.
