PLAN WIRELESS FEATs
Messages to Be Sent 5000 Miles
Between Station in East
and Warships.
HIGH TOWER ON BRANT ROCK
Scout Cruisers Salem and Birming-
ham Are Equipped with Instru-
ments for Experiments.

The navy is soon to conduct expert
ments in long-disance wireless teleg-
raphy. Impressed with the import
ance of a system which will in cases
of necessity transmit messages from
some place on the Atlantic seaboard
for distance of 5000 miles, the mat
ter was taken up in earnest almost
year ago. The desirability of such
long-distance communication, the off,
Gals say, is obvious, for in times of
wsr it would prove invaluable to the
government.
BY its means the Navy Department
will be able to control and direct
readily from shore the movements of
the fleet. This, together with the
proposition to install wireless appara-
tus on ships so that they may be able
to communicate with each other at a
distance of 1000 miles. win put the
government in the position where di-
rections given to one vessel quickly
may be transmitted to another.
The experiments in communicating
5000 miles are to take place at Brant
Rock, Mass, beginning probably late
in December Instruments constructed
for this purpose have been installed in
a tower over 400 feet high. Two scout
cruisers, the Salem and the Birming-
ham, are to be utilized as receiving
stations Repairs to these vessels now
under way will be completed Dec. 4,
soon after which they will leave the
United States for trip which will
keep them within a radius of 5000
miles of Brant Rock, the present pro-
gram contemplating a cruise from the
Scottish coast downward to the west
African coast and also in the American
tropics. Meanwhile messages will be
sent to each of these vessels, both of
which have been equipped with ten
kilowatt-power receiving apparatus,
capable, it is asserted, of recording the
long-distance communications. At the
same time the vessels will exchange
messages for the purpose of testing
the apparatus for communication
1000 miles at sea.
