j is being manifested by the alumni
: and former students of Newberry
College in the approaching commencement,
June 15-18. This is
shown by the replies received by I.
H. Hunt, chairman of the hospitality
committee of the College Club, to
the invitations sent out to entertain
in the homes of Newberry and to
the dinner on Tuesday, June 17, the
hundreds of old boys. And the boys
and the coeds, too, are coming.
Mr. Hunt does not know the addresses
of all the former students
and he is anxious for all, whether an

and to write him at once. The
committee must know for whom to
provide homes and the number for
whom dinner must be prepared.

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

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.
