The committee must know for whom to provide homes and the number for whom dinner must be prepared. T> ? CI 11. messages uy oueiu. New York, June 5.?A hollow 3inch shell, fused to emit on striking, a gas of smokelike density by day, and luminous at night, and used to transmit messages from division headquarters, to advanced or exposed positions, is another war time secret which has now been made public. This form of communication was first used by the Germans, and afterward adopted by the allies. A sample of the shell?one that was captured from the enemy during the St. Mihiel drive?was brought home by Vice-Admiral Albert Gleaves on his return from France. According to Admiral Gleaves, the shel has a range of about 2,000 yards and is self propelling: Its velocity was such as to require 14 seconds to travel that distance, "slow enough," the admiral said, to enable an active man to dodge it, should he see or hear .it coming. When it struck, it could be readily located by its smoke Gr< ~~j On and , I TR i 7 T'HE MA to our more than r titled to a b and we hav< Press and B until the city will iSS & SHW^yWKFMtfSKf cloud by day, or its light by nightJ C picked up, a cap unscrewed and the | g message inside delivered to the offi- -y cer for whom it was intended. n ALL TELEGRAPH AND L TELEPHONE SYSTEMS RETURNED TO OWNERS ?! tc Washington, June 5.?Telegraph ^ and telephone companies whose lines have been controlled and operated by the government since last August 0 1, were ordered tonight to resume , j Qj immediately operations for their own: account by Postmaster General Bur-1 = leson. The Postoffice Department^ however, under terms of Mr. Burleson's order retains a measure of con-; trol of the services, pending final legislative action by Congress. Regulations prohibiting discrimination against wire employes because of union affiliations, maintaining ex-J isting rates and charges and instruct-; ing companies to keep special ac-j counts to facilitate. cost settlement between themselves and the government are retained in effect under the order issued by the Postmaster General. Reason for Action. Mr. Burleson accompanied the or-! der with a statement giving the rea-; sons which impelled him to take the j action. He asserted that the Presi-| dent having recommended the rn 1 turn of the properties, the Senate *a- * terstate commerce committee having indicated that immediate return was advisable and the House committee having through hearings manifested a desire for action toward that end, he felt it his duty to return operative control to the various private owners. Strikes threatened by telephone and telegraph employes' unions had no bearing on the department's action, officials said. TELEGRAPHERS ARE ORDERED TO STRIKE ??.
