station on top of the Wanamaker
building in New York and the station

afternoon.
F.. The feat was accomplished after

the Wanamaker wireless station as
the most complete and efficient for
their purposes,
At 3:15 o'clock the wireless opera
tor in Philadelphia was surprised to
hear a human voice speaking through
the wireless receiving instrument
which was covering his ears. He rap
idly got in touch with the New York

had broken through the barrier of dis
lance and carried the human voice

The Germans were terribly crushed.

M. w. Conkling, who as attorney
for the Irrigation District was one of
the delegates sent to Washington, has
made a statement of the experience
there, from which it appears that the
issues which the war forced on Con-
gress have made it impossible to ac-
complish anything at this session,
though the ground has been prepared
for an appropriation early in the next
session. Mr.. Conkling's report fol-
lows:
Washington, Aug. 20, 1914-To
the People of Imperial Valley: When
we came here we fully. understood
there was no chance of getting
through special appropriation bill
for Ilnperial Valley river protection,
owing to congestion of bills and late
ness of our application. We Under
stood rat cur only chance was to
get opr appropriation made as an
amendment to the Rivers and Har-
hors bill now in the Senate, having
PASSED the House.
Senator Perkins we found in en-.
tire sympathy with us and willing TO
move the amendment. He stated ID
US, however, that before he could do
so it would be necessary to have 6
report or recommendation from the
war department, as under the rules
TO such amendment could be made
without such report.
wrote to the secretary of war and
asked for such report. He received
an answer within few days that
the War Department had no data on
which to make such report, no sur
vey ever having been ordered by Con-
gress, and that he was by law for
hidden to make such report without
survey, and could not by law use
the data or report in the possession
of the Interior Department.
Senator Perkins then stated it
was impossible to amend the Rivers
and Harbors bill as desired, but said
he would move to amend the Rivers
and Harbors bill by instructing the
Secretary of War to make a survey

The line of the allies in the north

to stem the steady advance of the

The Germans are in the vicinity of

east Of the capital. Refugees arriving
here today report the town under bonn

General Gallieni, military governor
of Paris, explains the steady rear

wing as due to strategic necessities.
He has issued the following state
ment:
"Thc situation looks more favorable
here. Reports from the front say the
advance of the Germans upon the ex
treme right is somewhat slower and
the more violent fighting in the vi
cinity of Compeigne has resulted in
favor Of the allies.
"Three German army corps of 12O,-

they have begun to show signs of ia
