was built by private enterprise. Is

current the strongest yet used In radio

the certain transmission OF messages
at 1000 miles under proper atmos-
pheric conditions.
While the navy Is experimenting
with high power wireless at long dis
tances the army Is engaged In series
of experiments with field wireless sets
for both telegraph and telephone. In
the navy the wireless telephone has
proved moderately successful for the
use of the signal officers In fleet oper-
ations. On land IL has made some ad-
vances. but has not yet reached a
point where II may be called efficient.
AT distances OF six or seven miles
messages may be transmitted. but at
greater distances conditions on land
are rarely satisfactory.
Army wireless telegraphy is pro-
nounced success. Numerous sets are
in use. Complete outfits sufficiently
small TO be packed on the back OF a
single mule are used. They can be

SEN. HEMENWAY
NATIONS AGENT
CONTINUED from Page Sky

Of the country where soldiers may not
be conveniently and advantageously
quartered. Much less money might
have been used in improving posts
already in existence and with much
better results.
The money expended in building
army posts since the Spanfsh-Ameri-
can war" said Mr.. Hemenfway
''wousi have been amply sufficient to
equip and maintain an elegant suite
OF rooms for each soldier in the SER
vice. A large part of this money was
expended at points where troops can
not be conveniently located. If the
money had been properly expender and
had been used in making improve
ments in proper places one-fourth Of
sufficient.
For example. cavalry posts have
been built at extreme northern points
where forage sells at a high price and
the locations are such that 1t would
be difficult to get troops from these
places to probable places of mobili-
cation in case occasion should arise
for military activity"
1t is the opinion Of Mr. Hemenway
that money could have been expend-
ed much more advantageously by i'm
proving army posts more centrally To-
Gated, such as those at Chicago, Indi-
annapolis and other central points.
The maintenance of the forestry ser
vice has increased in the last four
years to enormous figures, Mr. Hem
enways points out. The expense Of
