An Idea of the immensity of the task can be obtained from the fact that a staff of nearly a hundred expert lin guists was constantly employed to ex amine and approve mail matter writ ten and printed in more than a hun dred languages and dialects. Manu scripts in every conceivable tongue found their place in this great mass of mail, estimated at about 150,000 let ters daily. Mueh of the mall was passed with only mechanical inspection, so sure did the examiners become of certain cate gories of communications. But con siderable more than the time saved on harmless mail was consumed in ex haustive examination and tests of questionable matter, some of which was subjected to all manner of acid and X-ray inquiry to detect hidden messages. Smuggling Prevented. There was also for a time a great smuggling campaign, harmless looking bundles such as newspapers contain ing various jodltles then obtain able In enemy countries, such as cof fee, rice, tobacco, sugar, and so on. Some even contained rubber biddtn be tween the pages of the papers. The most-sought-after evidence was that of military character, and the censorship of mails more than repaid its expensive outlay in detecting in formation that might have wrought havoc with allied arms, or at least helped Germany in no uncertain de gree. There is little doubt that none of that character of Information which the censorship obtained will be made public, but officials directing Britain's war machines have not been slow to say that thanks to the postal censorship much valuable military information, of every conceivable character, came to their attention. Propaganda was the greatest and most constant effort of the Germans. The most harmless appearing sets of newspapers and magazines, some of them with covers dated before the war, dispatched from neutral nations to individuals or societies, such as sci entific organizations, were often found to contain the latest German accusa tions of British mismanagement In Egypt, India or Ireland. Books, not al ways in German, were found to con tain everything except what the title proclaimed. The postal censorship to day possesses an intensely interesting museum of many of the propaganda carriers the Germans sent out, qr caused to be sent out from their agents in neutral countries.

Enemy Schemes Thwarted. As 1 said, the postal censorship has as yet turned up no morsel of rela tive choiceness. The postal censor ship, however, has thwarted many en emy schemes that make just as in terestlng or more Interestlne read- In e. Vurthermore, the British postal censorship was a much farther reach ing organization than was attempted in America, simply because England was the channel through which virtu ally nil questionable mail matter flowed. Development of Radio Telephone Permits Personal Direction of Fleets. PREVENTS MANY ACCIDENTS At Signing of Armistice Training In Voice-Commanded Flying Was Well Under Way Pilots DU 1 rected From Ground. Washington. Previous to the entry of the United States into the war, the problem of airplane radio development had received attention from the army. In August, 1910, the first wireless transmission from airplanes was made. In the years following the development of the airplane radio was carried on through a series of accomplishments. These may be summed as follows: 191SJ Message transmitted from air plane to ground by wireless telegraph over a distance of 50 miles. 1915 Fan type of driving the wire less power plant on the airplane de veloped and adopted. 1916 Radio telegraph transmission from airplane successful over 140 POSTWAR ACTIVITIES ON THE THAMES Vi'ith the end of the war the locks of the Thames river are becoming alive with i If-isure craft again.

Talk Thousands of Miles. Contemporaneous with this was the commercial development of the radio telephone for ground and ship use by engineers of the American Telephone and Telegraph company. This culmi nated in a successful transmission from the naval radio station at Arling ton to stations thousands of miles away. In May, 1917, steps were taken to combine the experience of the engi neers and of the ar-my in developing the airplane wireless. bix weeks later the airplane tele phone was a fact, and in October, 1917, a long-range test was made. Tele phonic communication was carried on between airplanes in flight up to 25 miles apart and from airplane to ground up to a distance of 45 miles The development of voice command ed flying was definitely begun at Gerst- ner field. La., in May, 1918. On June 1 an aerial review was given by an air fleet of two squadrons of 18 planes i each, followed by a close order drill by a section of six alrnlanes. Throughout the review and the drill command was exercised by the voice of the commander flying with the fleet. In September following, voice com manded flying was instituted at sev eral other fields. Avoids Many Accidents. By using the airplane radio tele phone in instructing aviators in aerial gunnery it was found possible to reach the same efficiency with a saving of one-tnira oi the time, uy exercising control over pilots in the air, accidemg were practically eliminated. At the signing of the armistice, de velopment and training in voice com manded flying was well under way. Numerous demonstrations were held during November and December and a fleet of 204 airplanes was maneuvered in the air at San Diego by voice command. In the practical application of the airplane radio telephone to airplanes, over 6,000 flights have been made with this apparatus in this country. In the last 2,000 flights there have been only 74 cases of airplane trouble and only 25 cases of radio trouble. Shipments of the apparatus to France in quantities began August and September, 1918, and of trained air service radio personnel In October. Had the war continued the voice-commanded military air unit would un doubtedly have made itself felt. Husband Excavates Under Direction of Spiritualistic Spouse While in France Spirit Hands Choke Woman. Milwaukee. E. A. Marth created a sensation when he appeared at a po lice station and said his wife, haunted by the ghost of a man who said he had committed a murder, had found the bodjr of the victim a woman in the basement of their house. Mrs. Marth Is a spiritualist medi urn. Alarm told the police his wife had been visited nightly by the spirit of a physician. The spirit had awak ened her so often by putting invisible hands on her throat that she deter mined to hold a seance. "Spirit" Asks Her to Dig. She did so and was directed to dig at a certain spot in the cellar. Marth told the police he made the excavation under her direction while she was in a trance and had discov ered a box. He asked that the police remove the body of what he Insisted was a murdered woman. The police, scoffing, went to the house. They found the excavation and the box. They opened the box and discovered it to contain bones and quicklime. The spiritual phase of the matter they are inclined not to discuss. But they believe the evidence of a crime has been laid bare by the medium and they are exerting efforts to reach a solution of it. "It was an earth-bound spirit,' Marth told the police, "that could not rest until it was relieved." The property in Walnut street was bought by the Spiritualist church of AiuwauKee ahout seven weeks ago. Marth and his family moved in short ly after. Immediately, he says, they were attacked every night by the hands of the spirit, which choked them. After several unsuccessful seances to learn the meaning of the visits, an other medium was called in to assist in getting the message. "Body of Woman Victim.'' "The spirit was that of a doctor who died several years ago," Marth said. "But the body in the basement --r:st Cotton Seized in 1867 Is Paid for by U. S. S;ivnnnah, Ga.

ALIENS GOING HOME Visited Nightly by the Spirit was not the doctor's. The doctor's spirit confessed the murder to us. He said he had performed an operation on a young womanwho died from it. The spirit said the body had been dis membered and buried in quicklime in the basement of the house, and it guided us to the spot. The operation was illegal." Marth said he ripped up the base ment floor. About a foot underneath the surface he uncovered a large wooden chest, so rotted that it fell apart when he tried to move It. In side the chest were fragments of quicklime, decomposed organic matter and fragments of bone. 1,300,000 Will Take $4,000,000, 000 With Them. Chicago Expert Figures on Vast Exo dus for the Department of Labor. Washington, D. C. One million three hundred thousand aliens in the United States are planning to desert this country for their homeland and they will take with them approximate 4,000,000,000 American dollars. These facts were disclosed in a re port by Ethelbert Stewart of Chicago, director of the investigation and in spection service of the department of labor, after an investigation or pros pective emigration from America. The estimate, Mr. Stewart says, is conservative. That the aliens will take $4,000,000,000 is figured on the basis that the average amount each alien will carry is $3,000. An official statement from the de partment of labor says that up to June 1 investigation covered Chicago, the Indiana steel mill district (South Chi cago, East Chicago, Indiana Harbor, South Bend, Gary, etc.), Detroit, Pitts burgh and surrounding steel districts, Johnstown,' Pa., Youngstown, O., and Wilkesbarre.

CHICKS ARE SIAMESE TWINS Both Are Perfect Physical Specimens, But Are Connected by an Inch Long Cartilage. Washington Courthouse, Ohio The Siamese Twins were rivaled and poul trydom scored a unique triumph in the freak world when two tiny chicks emerged from the same egg in the in cubator of the Brownell Packing plant. The babies are both perfect physi cal specimens and are just as alike as two peas, except that one is a de cided brunette and the other just as distinctly blond as to down. ' Like the Siamese Twins, the chicks are joined together by an inch 'long cartilage under the wings about the thickness of a finger. Both can stand and walk about, and such is their free dom of action that one can sit while the other stands1. TEXT Jesus who delivered us from th wrath to come. I Thess. 1:10. In a recent magazine appeared as an advertisement a nicture entitled "Complete Protec tion." In the pic ture was shown a life-insurance pol icy, protection for the family; a sav ings bank book, protection against old age; a fire in surance po 1 i c y, protection foi property ; ana a revolver as protec tion for life. But something more is needed tc give "complet protection." A man may be wise enough to protect his family in case of his death, and have protection for his old age, his property and his life; but his protection is in complete until he cares for his soul The grave of this present life is but the gateway to the life to come, and it depends on how one has prepared for it whether that life to come has complete protection. All must stand before God to be judged, for it Is written, "It Is appointed unto man once to die and after this the judg ment" (Heb. 9:22). We will not be surprised, therefore, to hear the proph et's warning, "Prepare to meet your God." There is an Instinct in every man which warns of wrath to come, and however one may stifle it or give heed to infidel denials, this truth abides. And even though a man has doubts concerning whether there is any wrath to come, he is unwise to have no pro tection against the possibility. T He protects himself against the coming of old age when he is uncertain of attain ing to old age. He pays money for fire Insurance when he does not know if fire will ever devour his property. Even admitting, therefore, a doubt as to the wrath to come, neglecting to provide against the possibility is folly. The Means of Protection. Protection for his soul cannot be found in anything a man has by his own efforts. He might have money, property and all material good and still be unprotected. He might have all the learning and wisdom of the world and still be in danger of the wrath to come. Whatever a man has or has not in these things does not enter in here, for there is no respect of persons with God, and God is the Judge. Our text declares it is "Je sus who delivered us from the wrath to come." God has given man the gos pel, and the gospel is that "Christ died for our sins according to the Scrip tures and rose again the third da'y" (I Cor. 15:4). "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believeth on him should not perish but have everlasting life" (Jno. 3:16). "Neither is there salvation in any other, for there is none other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved" (Acts 4:12). It is written of Jesus that "He bare our sins in his own body on the tree" (I Pet. 2:24), and "He was wounded for our trans gressions and bruised for our iniqui ties" (Isa. 53:6). He was "the Laint of God who taketh away the sin of tht world" (Jno. 1:29). In this One, Jesu Christ, is found the only protectioi from future judgment, bv it is founc so surely and completely that the be liever can say of him, "Jesus, who de livered me from the wrath to come.' The Obtaining of Protection. Many make the mistake of thinking that protection is tound in a good life or charity toward one's fellow man. Some think it is found in keeping cer tain laws, and others in religion. Bui however uprightly one may live on still is a sinoer, for" "all have sinned (Rom. 3:23), and "without the shed ding of blood there is no remission." However charitable a man might be to his fellow man it can never absolve him from his treatment of God. And howeyer strict a man might be in obey ing the laws of the land it cannol atone for disobedience to the laws 'ol God. All these things are good and proper in their place, but none of them nor all of them together can give pro tection to a man's soul in view of th wrath to come. The Bible declares that simple faith in Jesus is the only way of obtaining this protection. "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved" is the message of the Bible. Today Jesus says. "I am the door, by me if any enter in he shall be saved" (Jno. 10:9). He also says, "Him that Com eth unto me I will in no wise cast out" (Jno. 6:37). In the day of the flood the only protection was the ark. They who had faith went m and were saved ; the others perished. The wise man therefore will not only have protection for his family in life insurance, and protection for his old age in the sav ings account, but protection from wrath to come in Jesus, who is God'? gift to all who will receive him.
