Washington. Aug. unsatisfactory
results with the wireless apparatus
are reported to the chief signal Off
Ger in Washington from Camp Roose-

direction Of Captain Gibbs of the Wig
mel corps, there has been installed at
headquarters set of wireless instru-
ments and station erected. Two 9TH
er sets of instruments are also in use
and are set with the principal detack-
ments of troops when out on a march
or in maneuvers from distances of ten
or more miles When a halt is made.
the wireless apparatus is brought out.
and within five minutes, messages are
exchanged with headquarters. Kites
are used from these outlying tempor-
ary stations, and 1t has been demon
onstrated that direct and quick COM
munication can be established. On
some occasions, the signal corps goes
out with the cavalry carrying the APP
paratus with them, and moving at a
rate which would render impossible
the stringing of wires in order to keep
in communication with headquarters.
BY wireless, communication can be
had at any time with headquarters.

comm ssjon made the statement that
those who testified for the government
hu If convictions followed, the corpor-
ations they represent would be pun
ished.
Millers testimony was to the effect

not be justified, but he had nothing to
do with the arrangements.
