Small Caps is a decorative feature for paragraph lead in. If you are putting the text of a telegram the source should be all caps. Small caps isn't needed and shouldn't be used for complete paragraphs. It's an alternate ancient style for lower case. Lower case (or Minuscule) was an innovation about 1400 years ago. The Romans only had upper case. Some writing systems just have a printed version and a handwritten version.

The SMALL CAPS is a decorative feature and shouldn't be used just to make a paragraph all capitalised. Change the source to do that. It doesn't affect capitals because they should be bigger normally.
