AMERICAN ARMY
ABREAST OF THE TIMES.

Washington, Dee. 5.--The u. s. army
is keeping pfce with other countries in
the matter Of modern appliances Of
warfare. The successful use OF wire
less telegraphy IN the movement Of
battleshlps caused the officials OF the
war department TO cast about for
wireless outfit that could be at once
compact and portable and which could
be installed In the field In the shortest
possible time.
Experiments conducted By the signal
service within the past few months
have resulted In the construction by the
government OF a number of outfits of
that kind. and they are now being dis
tributed among the various commands.
The high cost Of wireless material
abroad led the government TO make its
own appliances at an Immense saving
but 1t Is stated that they embody the
principal elements OF the latest I'M
provements of apparatus Of this kind.
Although II Is felt that these outfits
will ultimately be vastly improved
upon. they are already capable OF doing
the most efficient work They are SO
constructed that they can easily be
Transported on the backs Of three
horses or mules and maybe Sc. up IN
20 minutes They can transmit mes
sages about 100 miles and a valuable
feature OF them Is that they will not
Interfere with each other in their
operation. The coast artillery stations
viii be fitted up with the same outfits
by which communication may be had
with ships at sea and transmitted to the
field II necessary.
When the army OF paciflcatlon went
TO Cuba It took along q couple OF wire
less outfits and reports have reached
the department that their operation has
been completely successful.
