NEW, BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 191o. FEELS HE IS ABOUT HALF AMERICAN Former President of Switzerland Fought in Our Civil War (Correspondence of *he Assoclated Press.' Berne, Switzerland, Jan, 24.—Emil Frey, former president of Switzerland, 4s one of the notable men of the coun- try, who, since retiring from the presi- dency, has become head of the inter- national union by which the telegraph, | cable and wireless systems of the world are regulated at this central point. But while Mr. Frey has risen to the highest office in his own coun- try, he feels that he is about American, for he was in the Ameri- can Civil war from start to finish as a member of an Illinois regiment, was captured at Gettysburg and held as a prisoner for fifteen months at Rich- mond, met and knew such war figures as Grant, Sheridan, Lee and Long- street, and later on returned to Wash- ington as Swiss minister, where he re- newed the acquaintance with Sheridan and others made in war days. ‘When a friend remarked on the cor- rectness of his English, he said: “I took my lessons under rather novel conditions in Libby prison at Richmond. My prison companion could speak nothing but English so that after being with him for fifteen months I had acquired a good knowl- @dge of English.” Held as Hostage. Mr. Frey was held as a hostage against a Southern prisoner, Capt. Gordon, held in the north under sen- tence of death, and as a resu't he also was under sentence of death until Gordon was released. When Gordon dled later some of the southern papers had the picture of Gordon and Frey as the two whose lives had been paired against each other. But few know this northern soldier, Frey, was the president of Switzerland. The International Cable and Tele- graph Union, which Mr. Frey directs, is one of those world-organizations ad- ministered here in Berne, It is rather strange that Switzerland, far from the sea and without any cable connections, should be chosen to direct the vast ramifications of the world’s cables, to which has now been added the world’'s wireless systems, and all the tele- half | Hot Water for | Sick Headaches Tells why everyone should drink hot water with phosphate In It before breakfast. | Headache of any kind, is caused by | auto-intoxication—which means self- poisoning. Liver and bowel poisons called toxins, sucked into the blood, through the lymph ducts, excite the | heart which pumps the blood so fast | that it congests in the smaller ar- teries and veins of the head pro- | ducing violent, throbbing pain and distress, called headache. You be- | come nervous, despondent, sick, fev- erish and miserable, your meals sour and almost nauseate you. Then you resort to acetanilide, aspirin or the bromides which temporarily relieve but do not rid the blood of these ir- ritating toxins. A glass of hot water with a tea- spoonful of limestone phosphate in it, drank before breakfast for awhile, will not only wash these polsons from your system and cure you of headache but will cleanse, purify ard freshen the entire alimentary canal. Ask your pharmacist for a quarter pound of limestone phosphate. It is | inexpensive, harmless as sugar, and almost tasteless, except for a sourish twinge which is not unpleasant.

Safe Home Remedy for Skin-Troubles Eozema, ringworm, and other itching, burning skin eruptions are so easily made worse by improper treatment that one has to be very careful. There is one method, however, that you need never hesitate to use, even on a baby’s tender skin—that is the res- graph of Europe and the Orient. But it is largely for the reason ‘hat Switzerland has no direct interest in these huge systems, and stands at one side as a neutral observer, that she is chosen to carry on this intricate ser- yice. Mr. Frey's offices’ occupy a large building, with an extensive per- sonnel at work on cable and telegr.ph tariffs, the adjustment of disputes be- tween countries over rates and pro- cedure, the preparation of cable. tcle- graph and wireless maps and prinied yolumes embracing every point the World over that can be reached by .« ny of the modern methods of quick trans- mission. ‘World Administration. “This union is unique in one re- spect,” said Mr. Frey, “as it is the first realization of the idea of a wor'd- administration. Before it was creat- ed in 1865 the different nations had passed similar laws, and uniformity was sceured by treaties and conven- tions under these laws. But the In- ternational Union actually realized a world-administration which is now carried on for nations all over the globe with the same regularity as any administration of a state or private organization.” The war has had a paralyzing e®oct on cable and telegraph transmission— greater in its restrictions and interr 1p- fions than anything in the history of electrical transmission.

List of Interruptions. The latest list of interruptions com- piled by the Internation Union covers sixteen closely printed folio pages—a first list of twelve pages and a supple- ment of four pages. Thirty com- plete interruptions of all communica- tion between countries are recorded, while the rest of the list is made up of the numberless restrictions on ci- pher telegrams, admissable language, etc., each country having put out a mass of regulations as a measure of military emergency. For example, the first page of the list shows the following complete interruptions: All communication between Hungary and Russia, "between. Austria and Russia, between Belgium and Germany, be- tween Berlin, Petrograd and Teheran, between France and Luxembers, Austria and France, between Austria and Montenegro, between Hungary and Serbia; between Bosnia Harzogovinia and Serbia, between Turkey and Rus- between Constantinople and Odes- sa. between Constantinople and Tene- dos, between Italy and Austria, be- tween Bulgaria. and Eerbia, between 4.

Aus tria has put out a great number of re- strictions, and so has Turkey and Hungary. But Germany is the one country making no restrictions, ap- parently secking to increase rather than restrict its communication. ‘War Separately Compiled, War interruption of wireless is sep- arely compiled and makes four printed pages. Singularly the restric- tions of the United States form the larger part of this, its restrictions be- ing one-fourth of the whole, and greater than that of any of the bel- ligerents. But while war has thus paralyzed the cable and, telegraph facilities, none of the fighting countries has withdrawn from the International Union; every one of them paid the last regular assessment; and the union is continuing its work of carrying on this inter-communication as far as possible under the limitations imposed by censorship and laws completely stopping communication. Some idea of the tremendous growth of the cable and telegraph in peace times is given in the last list of sta- tions published by the International Union, compared with their first list in 1868. The first list give 10,750 as the total number of telegraph sta- tions throughout the werld; the last list gives the number as 175,000, The union prepared the first list of cables the !

Most Rapid Strides, Just now it is the wireless which is making most rapid strides, and Mr. Frey finds it difficult to keep up with the sweep of this new medium of communication to the remotest islands of the seas.” Each government gets up a list of itg-own stations, but the union consolidatés the lists of all sovern- ments, the American section, for in- stance. showing all army, navy and private wireless stations, all boats with wireless, including even the yachts of Vincent Astor and others with wireless equipment. y The telephone, which is also admin- jstered by the union, shows how this civilizing process is being carried into uncivilized regions. For example, the Ivory coast in Africa has 82 telephone stations; Senegal 173, Dahomey 88, Cabou 77, Madagascar 369. And there is hardly a people the world over so low in the scale of civilization as not to be in touch with the outer world in some of the many modern means of quick communication. Rates Go Down. Mr, Frey has seen cable and tele- graph rates go down as the extent of the systems has gone up. The rate from Berne to Berlin used to be 15 francs ($3) for twenty words; now it is 2% francs (50 cents). The rate to 9 francs; to Bombay from 100 to New York from 540 francs ($108) for 20 words in 1855, to about 30 franc ($6) today. to Petrograd has fallen from 35 francs | francs to 50 francs; and from Berne | Ane of the chief ends of the bureau absolute uniformity telegraph service of the world, with the telegraph in the United States, where private control and difference in rates to various | states has made uniformity impossi- !ble. But in most civilized countries the same identical system prevails, so that if a person sends a cablegram from Berne or Paris or Berlin, to Japan, he knows it will go through exactly the same process of delivery as a cablegram from Japan to Eu- rope. This gives an assurance to the public in communicating to various re- mote points. besides the administra- tive control over the network of cable and telegraph wires stretch- ing around the world. However the control is made automatic as far as possible.
