UNCLE SAM WILL
 EMPLOY WIRELESS Contract is Closed With One ot
 Leading Companies, IS AN IMPORTANT STEP Stations Reach Half Way Around the World, and Will be Especially
 Valuable in the New
 Panama Zone.
IS AN IMPORTANT STEP

Washington, July 8.-(Speeial)-The closing of the contract between the gov ernment and the American De Forest Wireless Telegraph company this week for service in the West Indies and at Pan anna marks long step forward in the his tory of this marvellous method of com munication and makes 1t possible to send a wireless message from ship at sea off the New England coast through a chain of stations extending to Japan, China or the Philippines. This contract Is especially notable as the largest of its kind ever Executed and the guaran- tee of the company to maintain at all times communication and under all at mospheric conditions between stations one thousand miles apart gives assurance that obstacles which have hitherto stood in the path of progress in the successful ap- plicauon of this invention or discovery to the commercial needs of the world have at least been surmounted. The new circuits will be from Key West to Pan anna, Porto Rico to Key West, South Cuban coast to Panama, Pensacola to Key West and South Cuba to Porto
 
 and miles. Between the points large bodies of land intervene and the currents cross and recross each other so that under such conditions the successful maintainence of communication between the stations will demonstrate beyond cavil or doubt the ability of the De Forest instruments to operate under any and all conditions.
 Like the wire telegraph the wireless owes much to the government which was quick to realize the benefits to be de- rived from it's success. The Wei Hal Wei station of the De Forest company, which has been in successful operation for five months, has been repeatedly util- ized in the transmission of intelligence of the progress of the war in the far east when other means of communication. would have been entirely without avail. The equipment of the Japanese ships for wireless telegraphy has enabled them to keep in close communication with each other and with their home ports and gov ersments and the information thus con- veyed has been directly responsible for some of the most telling blows struck by Admiral 7el The tremendous dis adavntasa 7h the Russians have thus been ia too obvious to require commeae.

Station for Washlnqton.

The establishment of a station at Washington which will take place before long, although the fact is not generally known, enable messages to be exchanged by wireless telegraphy between the seats of government of the United States and Japan oy an American system operating entirely on American territory except the one station in Japan. Stations are already in operation in New York; Buff falo. Cleveland and St. Louis, and when the one at Washington is installed one will be constructed at Baltimore At Panama the highest mast in the world for wireless teiegraphy Is being erected, while at Cape Flattery Washington, the largest station in the world is being built. The one at Dutch Harbor, among the largest, is in operation, being the key to the Alaskan business as after the Mar conf company failed to execute it's con- tract for the military service In Alaska 1t was awarded to the De Forest conn pany.

a.s!Ized the Necessity.

The naval and war authorities of the United States had no mind to be caught in similar trap and the strategic i'm portance of the American possessions in the East Indies and at Panama made 1t paramount necessity that at the ear- Hest possible moment means of wireless communication should be established there Of scarcely secondary importance was the requisite that the possibility of
 the intercepting of messages by ships of other nations or of intermediary stations not controlled by this government should be absolutely obviated. With the greatest care the government experts conducted
 most rigid tests and reported that the De Forest system already executing gov ernment contracts on a smaller scale
 was one which offered the best service although it's terms were higher than those of other. companies. During the tests which extended over a period of several months, seven wireless stations were in simultaneous operation in the same mag
 netic field and yet long messages were
 successfully transmitted and received by 1 the De Forest system.
 l This achievement regarded by the gov
 ernment experts as the greatest in the 1 history of the science, was possible only l by the utilization of "syntonic aero
 graphy" in which the De Forest attuning
 apparatus is employed. It is source of
 2ardonable patriotic pride that this re-
 markabe instrument Is the product os I the inventive genius of Lee De Forest,
 Ph., D., (Yale), young American, who
 has been responsible for so much of the
 wonderful progress made in wireless work within the past ten years In the war
 maneuvers of 1902 and again in 1903 the
 government experts reported that this
 was the only system that operated under all the difficulties attendant on the work
 and the service during the recent tests
 exclusively demonstrated the ability of
 those utilizing it to transmit messages without interference because of the loca-
 tion of similar stations in the same mag netic zone and with the possibility of
 their interception by other systems total
 ly eliminated. As a result the government
 has entered into reciprocal contract with
 the company which makes them, in a | allies

VIII Accept Commercial Messages.


 By it's terms, and this is a most i'm portant consideration to the business world, commercial messages are ex- manageable betwe cen all stations and ships equipped with the De Forest attuned ap- paratus and all messages will be trans initted between war vessels and passen- ger steamers, ard between land stations irrespective of whether they are under the control of the government or the company. The chain of communication thus established is practically one sys- tenn operated in part by the government and partly by the De Forest company. It is understood that having thus adopt ed the De Forest system and entered into such combination with the company controlling 1t, the government Is guaran- teed against the employment of the sys- tenn in any manner which might prove detrimental to it's interests and it Is re- ported that its exclusive use for war vessels has been guaranteed to the Unit cd States navy.
 The. vast possibilities opened by this arrangement can be better realized when t is stated that the chain of stations op- erated by the De Forest company and the government will extend from the New England coast at Boston and Provi- denae through New Haven. New York,

Great Care Should Be Exercised by
Residents Against Fire Some.

Decorations.

Fire Chief Foster today prepared the
following statement TO the public for
the purpose OF placing people on their
guard against accident during the holl-
day season. The fire chief has decided
upon an innovation In the way OF pre-
cationary measures, and where there
are gatherings OF children this year he
will, upon notification, send a fireman
equipped with fire. extinguisher. 20
the place Of meeting. The statement
follows:
TO the Public-As chief engineer OF
the fire department, desire TO call the
attention Of the public to the danger
to life and property from the indis-
crIminate use OF Christmas decorations,
such as Christmas greens. cotton to
represent snow. draperies and other In
fiammable materials. especially In con-
nection with electric and other lights,
notably candle.
Every year throughout this country
there Is large loss OF both life and
property at this season on account OF
carelessness and thoughtlessness. and
even at times when the greatest care
is taken, accidents occur. In our own
city we have been very fortunate in
the past and no disaster has occurred,
and on that account we are liable to
be little careless. or. at the least,
not as careful as we might be; and
so that our good fortune may extend
into the future as In the past, let all
the safeguards be used that may be-
! do not desire nor expect that these
occasions or exercises shall be done
away with. but do advise that the ut
most caution be used. At these oc-
casions many children are gathered.
and In case OF fire or panic many lit
tie life may be lost.
Il would suggest to those having
charge Of various churches, societies
etc, where Christmas trees are TO be
held that they either call at fire de-
partment headquarters or send word
and arrangements may be made
whereby a fireman may be detailed to
attend these places equipped with a
chemical extinguisher, which may be
OF valuable assistance.
BE sure and keep all aisies and
clear of chairs and other
see that the doors are

phone numbers OF which are Chemi-
cal No. 1871 hose wagon, No. /, COL

see that your telephone is in working
order.
within the department itself every
effort Is being taken to safeguard both
life and property and We ask your
assistance. so that there may be no
regrets at the close Of the season. Re-
spectfully yours,
