Alexander Graham Bell lived to see experiments which he began with a deaf, man's ear less than fifty years ago result in a means of communication for millions of long distance telephone conversations daily in all parts of the world. The possibility of talking over a wire, ridiculed then as a , dream ' by almost everybody except Bell, became during his lifetime a reality, commonplace and marvelous. The Bell basic patent, known in the records at Washington as No. 17,446, bas been called the most valuable single patent ever issued in the history of invention.

! DECISION TELEGRAPHED
BULLETIN CHICAGO, -Aug. 2. The federated shopcraf t today voted approval of President Harding's plan to end' tha rail strike and appointed a committer to draw up a reply accepting the plan. The reply, however, will be subject to amendment by the more than 100 labor chiefs before going to the president. The first announcement from the labor leaders simply said that they had voted acceptance. Later it developed that some opposition, had sprung up in the meeting and acceptance might be made after the text is drawn up.
For this reason it was made subject to amendment. The meeting will re

I It was pointed out in these, circles that the Balfour note, which was a disappointment to the French government, probably would have the effect of eliminating all consideration of a general European agreement regarding reparations and the allied debts. One reservation to this pessimistic view was that the Balfour communi

FEAR ENGLISH NOTE ON WAR DEBTS MAY AROUSE RESENTMENT
LONDON, Aug. '2. The bulk of the criticism directed at the British governmentos note to the allies concerning its war debts is adverse, though based on varying grounds. It is conceded that the document framed by the
Earl of Balfour is masterly in its lucid-
ness, suavity and logic, but here unanimity ends. Foremost among the causes of dissent is the fear that the note will be regarded across the Atlantic as being addressed to America, rather than to any European country, and where this view 'is taken, its probable efTect is estimated also solely in respect to the impression it is likely to make there. The Times, which understands that the policy of the note embodies was adopted against the view of the British treasury and authorized financial
represontaUves. fears that the prospect of settlement is not improved by the note. See Distinct Threat. The Morning Post says: "Behind. its-
! logic and appeal to abstract justice. Is
a distinct threat to the United States. . . . The orderly American will see in it merely an attempt by Great Britain to escape her debt and place upon America a burden which-America is unwilling to bear. . . . "We deeply deplore the note. We ought to have expressed to America our unconditional readiness to repay the debt, and at the same . tiiv to have notified the allies we were prepared to offer them if not complete remission, at least very generous reductions." . The Westminster Gazette emphasized the intimate connection of America's attitude with the whole problem. "If America, does not cancel our bond, we shall pay." it "says. "But there is no sense in pretending we do not wish her to cancel our bond. The pracUcal question, therefore. Is how best to persuade her to take that step."

Since the year 1917, when the farm

in addition to the farm, which at
the time it was taken over, was valued at $40,000, Mr. and Mrs. Esteb offered

work would be started at once on the erection of some buildings at Smithfield. The gift was made subject to the proposal that the county raise an additional $50,000. Although', the county council made this appropriation, no action has evar been taken by the commissioners to make it effective by a tax levy. Thus it is merely a "paper appropriation" ready to be put Into effect whenever the county commissioners decide to include it in the budget.
The state law provides that the county council must have the budget ready for approval by Sept. 5. The budget must be made up and advertised 10 days prior to tbjs date.
WIRTH HOUGHTON'S GUEST
BERLIN, Aug. 2. Chancellor WIrth
was the guest of honor last evening at a dinner given by the American am
bassador, Alanaon E. Houghton.
CHICAGO, Aug. 2. Chiefs of tha striking rail employes today voted to accept President Harding's proposal for ending the ran strike and appointed a committee to draft the acceptance and to forward it to the president immediately. , The actual vote was taken among the more than 100 chiefs of the six federated shopcraft under B. M. Jewell. Timothy Healy, president of the stationary firemen and oilers, the only other union oh strike, announced that his organization "would concur in the shopcraft's action. The proposals were understood to be the same as those which railroad ex? ecuUves considered at their New York
meeting. The executives rejected the proposal that strikers be returned to their authorized standing on return to work. Refuse to Comment Union leaders refused to comment on what results their action might have on peace prospects. The action of the union leaders was the only outstanding event in the rail
strike today.
The New York Central railroad an
nounced the action of the executive yesterday concerning seniority had re
sulted in many strikers applying for work while many roads posted notices to their men that the seniority rights would be protected fully. President Harding was said by Secretary of Commerce Hoover to be con
templating no action today concerning
the strike and there was no indication as to when or where the next peace move might arise. Minor disorders were reported in several sections, but generally the situation was quiet. Although chiefs of 148 railroads at their meeting yesterday in New York voted to reject the seniority proposal, the belief was current here that this did not constitute the execuives final word in the matter. W. L. ("Mac") McMenlmen, labor group member of the United Statea Labor board, who has been generally credited with having done much to prevent the spread of the rail strike to over a half million women in addition to the shopmen, today departed for California on his way to Honolulu for a vacation. . , r - WASHINGTON, Aug. 2. Careful study of the railway executives reply refusing to accep. President Harding' plan for settlement of the shopmen's strike, so far as it dealt with the seniority Issues, and also that expected from the labor leaders meeting in Chicago, was expected today to precede any further move by the executive in the strike situation. Thero. had been no indication of what new Btep, if any. the government planned to take. It -was Intimated at , tho White House that the tone of the replies and the circumstances under which they were made would influence to Eome extent the president's decision as to how the problem would
be dealt with from this point The government, it is known, views the railroad strike as serious in effect only because of the present stoppage of coal production. In order to cope with that problem it has been intimated repeatedly that the administration would be disposed to force a quick settlement cf the railroad difficulties, even though the necessary measures might involve some re-establishment of the former, control of the railroads. That the immediate effect f the rail strike upon freight movement is now confined almost exclusively, to coal was Indicated in a report on freight handled by all railroads during the week ended July 22, issued today by the Car Service Division of the American Railway association. " Tha report showed that although coal load-. Ings as compared with the .previous week fell off 1,274 cars to a total 01 76.060 cars, the movement of all othe1 commodities was "the. heaviest fas' his season of the year o fany in the history of the carriers."
