In Crossing Atlantic If
Plan for Establishing
An International Weather b.
! TeaH Is Adopted.
The First Formal Step In Campaign
Taken for One, Wednesday.

London June 12.-The first formal
step in the campaign for the estab-
lishment of an international weather
AMI storm bureal has been taken here
by Prof Willis Moore, chief of the
United States weather bureau. In
speaking of his plan, Prof. Moore said
III the plan is adopted, so far as
storms are concerned the crossing of
5 the Atlantic will be made as safe as
short street car journey. Great ocean
liners, which have but little to fear
from anything except the most de-
structiVe gale may, by altering their
course on receipt of the warning by
so miles or more, escape a rough pas
sage, while the warned steamers and
sailing ships by making wide detour,
may escape possible destruction
Prof. Moore outlined the plan at
luncheon given him by DR. William
Shaw. head of the British weather ser
vice and the scientific staff of the Lon
don meteorological station. Prof
Moore has carried the fight for the
adoption of the plan into the Interna-
tionai Radio Congress now in session
heie, and all of the American delegates
are under instructions TO assist him in
securing the cooperation OF the other
= nations in the matter.
According to the plan a median line
will be established through the North
Atlantic. All ships sailing in either
direction westward of this median are
10 be compelled to take daily weather
observations, which must be sent by
wireless telegraphy To the nearest ship
in communication TO the west and
thence the messages are to be relayed
until they reach the nearest American
land station The messages are then
TO be telegraphed TO Washington
where the weather bureau will make
up weather chart and storm warn
ing, which will be cabled 10 Europe.
Ships to the eastward of the Median
will follow similar instructions. re-
laying the messages until they reach
either London or Paris. The weather
chart and storm warnings made up by
the European stations will be cabled

compiled will be in duty bound to
