That he doesn't intend to prolong his stay in this country any lénger than it Is absolutely necessary may be Indicated by the statement that he would have now been on his way to Burope were it mot for the restraint under which he has been placed. HOUSINIG RELIEF, While there continues to be so much need for throughout the country there cannot fall to be interest in the action which has been taken In New York state by the leg- islature in authorizing insurance compan- fes to Invest ten per cent of thelr funds in the constructidn of fiew houses. Leg- islatlon was necessary in order to permit the companles to use their funds to such an extent but it had Been preceded by an agrecment on the part of one com- pany that $100,000,000 would be spent for thls purpose if the authority to do so could be obtained. The existing need 1s for tenements that call for low rent. The number Is limited and there is no effort belng made to supply the need. Under the new law it is expected that the insurance com- pany will devote its funds to the erection of zpartment houses in which the rent wiil not be over $9 a room a month and bnder the initial effort the plan is to pro- vide for something like 1600 familes at an outlay of not more than six million dollars, By the time these apartments are ready it will be possible to determine what the demand is and whether such facilities as are offered meet the require- ments of those Who are seeking accom- modations, The permission that is granted for this undertaking, in conneetion with which it was understood at the time it was advo- cated that labor would cooperate by working at reduced rates if first option on the rents could be had by those 5o employed, fs for a Jimited period. What- ever is dome must e done within the ngements for im- mediate ozerations indicate that this lim- itatlon will have no effect if the under- taking in preperly recetved. That feature of it can be quickly determined as soon as the apartments are ready and the re- lief that has been so long needed prom- 1ses to be soon obtained. It has required a long whlle to see how capital could be interested in the housing proposition and natural, much interest is going to be shown In the reception the result gets.

But Von Bernstorff, Von Papen and the rest of the embassy at Washington were this ‘side of the Atlantic. But not even the secret service could penetrats the mystery of the messages. wireless towers on this side of the Atlan- tie, or relayed from the German radlo stations, seemed fairly obvious. But how? “They must be sending the stuff men, “for the simple reason that we've closed all their other. channels “Any idea as to the code using?” asked Talbot. “Nome at all, but it's probably conceal- they are bulletins, stock quotations, and the like, We've studled them carefully, but haven't been able to find a thing.” “How about the outburst from Nauen every morning?” “The only explanation for that seems to be that it's an attempt to ‘fog the air’ S0 that ships and other towers can’t get anything through.” “Yes, but in that case would the Ger- mans send it for an hour early every morning? Why not all day leng? And why that hash of language that doesn't mean a thing? If they were trying to for things they'd wirelss the Bible or Nietzsche or excerpts from some other long book instead of that mess of mean- ingless rot."” “All right,” retorted the chief, “if you think there’s a clue there, go to it.” But Talbot @idn’t begin his investiga- tions with a study of the Nauen ‘“hash.” He made his way at first to the labora- tory of Charles E. Apgar. a deep student of wireless telegraph: It was to Apgar that he told his troubles and, when he had finished, the expert leaneéd forward and picked up something from the table in front of him. “Sea that?” nodded. “Looks like' an old fashioned cylindri- cal phonograph record,” he said. “Just what it is,” admitted lye expert, Apgar asked. Talbot FAMOUS MEN. HENRY W. LONGFELLOW Henry W. Longfeliow, the most pop- ular of all American poets, retained his unusual mental vigar to within three months of his death, on March 24, 1882. On his seventy-fifth birth- day, a little more than a month before his death, special celebrations were held in the schools of tile country com- memorating the day. Craigle House, the residence of Longfellow, thronged ail day with those who came to congratulate him. He received his ample study rich with accumu- lations of literary luxury. The wonder of Mr. Longfellow’s later vears was not so much that he kept up_ his incessant literary activity, as that he did it in the midst of the con- stant interruptions involved by great personal popularity and fame. He re- tained to the last his sympathy with young people and with all liberal and Drogressive measures. At the time of his seventy-foutth birthday, a hostess in Ohio seut him a hundred blank cards, with the re- quest that he would write iis name on each, that she might distribute them among her guests at a party she was to give on that day. Strauge as msy aave been the request to the aged poet he complied. The day was celebrated by soms for- ty <different scheols in the Western states, all writing him lettecs and re- questing answers. He sent to each hool some stanza with signature and best wishes. He was patient even with the man who wrote to him requesting that he would send his autograph in his “own handwriting.” As s matter of fact, he had to leave many letters unaswered, even by his secfretary, in his later years. The last of Mr. Longfellow’s poems, “Ultima Thule,” was written in 1850, when the poet was seventy-three years of age. A little volume dontaining his last poems was published in 1382, after the poets death, with the title of “In the Harbor.” Longfellow's last years were a fit- ting close to the life he led. In 1875 he read at Brumswick, on the fifticth anniversary or his graduation, beautiful poem “Morturi Salutamus, It ended with the characteristic verse: For age is opportunitw no less “I am _surrounded by roses and liliés, Flowers everywhere— old age, As honor friends.” death of the feeling toward him WASHINGTON AFFAIRS (Special to The Bulletin.) ‘Washington, April 18. — The southern and partisan that the deme- senate chamber.

I fin- ished working on It a few days ago, and I think it's just what you need for this job. It will record and keep track of every sound that comes into the station, enabling” you to ‘listen in' on messages months after they have been sent. With a supply of these records and the nedes- gary patience, you ought to be able to figure out the system the Huns are using, without their being any the wiser. It may take weeks, or even months, but it's (Just & question ‘of being everlastingly at it Apgar was right. 'Talbot found that it took him nearly four months to get on to the system—four months of ceaseless listening at the end of a DeForest audion detector which picks up sound waves from thousands of miles away, and even then he would never have located the secret had it not been for the wax cylin ders. But with the aid of these automat- ic detectives he was able to repeat each message untl he had it almost by heart, trying out the various combinations and symbols until he stumbled across the right one. Then one morning, when the chlef of the secret service least expected him, he bllust into the office With the exclama- tion: e got it—the Afth. tenth and fif- teenth flashes!

By spacing 'em so far apart in the mean- ingless wireless messages—or even in the press bulletins sent out from th's side— they are able to fill in with lots of stuff to throw you off the scent. But the code's stmple enough—that's what makes it such a wonder!” And it wasn't until Von Bernstorff re- ceived his sailing orders that he knew the secret service had been plucking his messages and his instructions out of the alr, through the ingenlous use of a wax phonograph cylinder. his own party and eulogize Mr. Wilson to the skles. It often happens that some congres- sional orator, right in the midst of a flight of eloquence, gets stranded for a word or for a simile, and comes back to earth with o thud. Take for instance the day Semator Ashurst was pleading eloquently for an additional federal judge for his state of Arizona. Mr. Ashurst described in technical terms tne need of an_additional justice; he pictured the karrowing cases that come before an official pointing his long sky-ward, Then he fell to earth. “Why,” sald he, “You must see the need for yourssif.

When Chindbloom of Iilinots stopped in the midst of an fmpassioned speech and demanded a rising vote on hls amendment. “I just want. to have you coumt noses and see how we stand.” he shouted to the dignified gentleman in the chair. And the presiding officer or- dered the noses to be counted, oniy he used a more technical and dignified term in so doing.
