A STEP IN WIRELESS.
GOVERNMENT INVENTION oE
QR1AT VALUE.
Army Code Of Communication lis by
This System Placed Far Ahead Of
That in the Navy-Records
All Known Methods.

New York.-The signal corps of the
United States army has for long time
been experimenting with wireless
telegraphy, and Brig. Gen. A. w. Gree
ly has now announced that as a result
OF these experiments receivers have
been perfected that will enable the
army to intercept and read the mes
sagss sent by any system of wireless
telsgrAphy In ase. This invention
places the army in position to cause
considerable trouble to foreign coun-
tries in the event of there ever being
clash; and the announcement of the
invention is sure to be Of especial in
terest to foreign governments.
With this invention the signal corps
OF the army has placed its code of Sc
cret intercommunication far ahead of
that of the navy. Gen. Greedy declined
to talk about the invention beyond say
ing that "the new army receivers in
tercept and record all messages of all
known systems. The invention is alb
solutely secret and will remain so"
At the present time the United States
navy uses three systems of wireless
telegraphy-the Fessenden, the Arco-
Slaby and the De Forest Intercom-
munication between the vessels and
the navy yards using these three sys-
TENS has been impossible. The Brook
lyn navy yard and some Of the battle
ships use the Arco-Slaby system. The
cruisers West Virginia and Colorado
are equipped with the De Forest sys-
tenn because they are able to communi-
cate with about 80 De Forest stations
that are on the coasts and in Canada,
Great Britain, Brazil and China. Now,
with the new invention of the signal
corps, the messages sent by any of the
warships can be intercepted and used.
1t is understood that the government is
to at once install the improved wire
less receivers in every fort in the coun-
try.
Or. Lee De Forest, head Of the De
Forest company, has admitted that the
signal corps had been experimenting
for long time. He said: 'The experts
of. the corps have helped themselves to
any wireless inventions they chose to
MAKE free with, and with these have
perfected principle applicable to them
all. The government can arbitrarily do
such things"
There is expected to be big fight in
congress this winter on bill which
proposes to put all wireless telegraph
companies under the control of the de-
partment of commerce and labor. Some
OF the companies are opposed to this
action, as they fear a government own
ership and monopoly of the business.
Dr. De Forest is, however, in favor of
it. He said: Il think it would be best
for all interests to do this. The rea-
sons are obvious when you consider
the chaotic conditions created by half
a dozen systems without intercommu-
Aication with one another"
