Radio telegraphy" is to be the off,
cial designation for the wireless meth
cd Of conveying communications.
This has been decided by the interna-
tional conference in Berlin, which by
the way has resulted in another SUBJ
stantial testimonial to the influence
exerted by the United States. An
agreement has been reached by the
delegates, who signed Saturday the
convention which is to regulate the
use of-the wireless system. Difficulty
existed in the beginning because OF
conflicting claims of rival inventors
whose devices are in competition with
one another. The representatives of
the United States from the beginning
took the position that communications
between ships at sea and between
ships and shore should be entirely free
and independent of any rivalry among
inventors. There was animated and
earnest discussion, but the outcome is
acceptance of the American view by
most of the members of the confer
ence, though several governments
make reservations intended to protect
existing agreements with wireless tel
egraph companies. The conference
Lad to deal with a novel question,
since wireless telegraphy has never
before been the subject of interna-
tfOna1 consideration hut If would
seem an equitable decision was
reached, and one in harmony with the
increasing spirit of international good
will. The period of ratification of the
treaty embodying these agreement:
will end July l, 1908.
