WIRELESS HELPS THE NATIONS AT WAR

The stopping all telegraphic and teephonic communication between the belligerents at the first breathings of and the partial stopping by trol and censorship of such communications from nations at to -belligerents, has rendered invaluable messages by wireless across and around the regions controlled hy the belligerents and espe cially at and across the But the bottling up of any place so that it cannot hold communica- tion with the outside is thing of the past. The fact that wireless apparatus cannot be easily hid den prevents the surrepttious use which might be made of it in regions under control of the beliiger- ents; although for short distance communication, such as along frontiers between close lying coun- tries in Western Europe, a small wireless re- ceivng apparatus might be secretiveIy used, espe- cially if it were temporarily strung under cover ol the darkness and taken down before daylight In such work there will be field for signal corps work and scouting.
 As regards the more powerful land stations, those which will keep up communication five hun- dreds miles and more, these can be easily Kept un- der government supervision; but the use of wire less on ships for sending messages up to and rom 25O to 800 miles receiving them at still greater distances from powerful land stations will be sub- feet only to such artificial interference as may De put in operation by the belligerents.
 There can be doubt that the experience in the present war will result in the closer govern mental control of private and amateur "lreess lh- stallation.
