"FightinE Bob" Expects TO
"TaIE" with Captains.

Norfolk. Oct 5-From the flag ship of
his battle-ship fleet, on its long voyage
from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast Of
the United States. the wireless telephone
is to aid Admiral Evans in communicate
ing with the various vessels under his
command if tests Of the systems prove
as satisfactory in actual service as IN the
experiments tried within the past few
days between the battle ship Virginia and
the Norfolk Navy Yard.
At the Norfolk station the voices of
officers on the Virginia, two miles away,
are heard as plainly by wireless" as
over the ordinary telephone wire.
1t is not expected that the wireless
phone viii carry as far as the telegraph.
but it is deemed likely that it will be a
satisfactory means Of communication be-
tween ships in fleet formation, and the
intention is to equip all vessels Of the At
lantic squadron with the apparatus be
fore their departure for the Pacific Ocean.
