WIRELESS ID EUROPE
Marconi Pledges Transatlantic
 Service In Three Weeks.
TEN CENTS A WORD AT FIRST
Inventor Declares All Obstacles Have Been Overcome and That Messages Have Already Been Sent to Kings of England and Italy.


 Glace Bay, N. S., Sept. 24.-William Marconi arrived here and declared that he intended to stay in Glace Bay until wireless communication with Europe had been placed on commercial basis. @"We have finally overcome all obsta- cles,'' he said. 'and in about three weeks will commence commercial transatlantic wireless service"
 MT. Marconi said bad weather would not affect the service, provided the masts and poles used in the wireless system remained unchanged, that the average speed used in sending mes sages would be twenty words minute and that the rate would be 10 cents a word for ordinary commercial mes, sages and cents word for press dis, patches. This rate, he added, would be cut in two later. MT. Marconi said there would be nc formal demonstration to celebrate the opening of the new service. The mes sages sent from the station at Glace Bay will be received on the other side of the Atlantic at Clifden, Ireland where, it is stated, new plant has been established, fitted with the latest machinery, much more powerful than that of the older station at Poldhu Cornwall.
 Bad Weather Won't Affect Service. The Cornwall station, however, would be utilized as a secondary plant. Con meeting with the wireless stations, MT Marconi said, the government lines ir Great Britain would handle the mes sages for land transmission, as the Marconi company had contract witt the British government to collect and distribute all its dispatches. On this side of the ocean the company had contract with the Canadian govern ment which, he believed, would place | the Government Intercolonial railway wires at its disposal, while the Cana dian Pacific and Western Union com panies both had their lines connected with the Glace Bay station, and MT Marconi said he hoped to do business with them.
 Bad weather" Mir. Marconi declar ed, twill have no effect on our sys tenn, provided it does not damage oul masts and poles. Lightning storms will do us no harm. We have success fully got over the bad weather difficul ties. and I do not expect any furthel trouble on account of weather.
 eve are sure of success" continued Mir. Marconi. "We sent messages t' the kings of England and Italy som' time ago, when we first started, ant when we begin commercial work WI shall do so by sending two or thre' messages to some of the more infuen tial newspapers. The press people hav been good to us, and we shall now b good to them"
