CONGRESS GRANTS
 WILSON'S DESIRES

WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.-As Presi. dent Woodrow Wilson sat at the bed side of Mrs. Wilson yesterday after noon he recalled her interest in the people of the Washington slums, and, speaking to Presidents Secretary Jo. seph P. Tumulty, he mentioned that 1t would have added to her happiness if the bill pending in Congress pro- viding for the reclamation of pest spots could be passed. Almost im- mediatly, Tumulty communicated the Presidents comment to members of Congress. The committee on the Dis trict of Columbia quickly reported the bill to the House of Representatives, which, by unanimous consent, passed it, Just before Mrs. Wilson's death the bill was sent to the Senate, which later passed it.

GOVERNMENT IMPROVING
 ALASKA RADIO STATION

CORDOVA, Aug. 6.-United States cruiser Buffalo. which came into this port several days ago, is expected to remain here for several weeks. She is in command of Captain NJ. M. Fay Tor and has crew of 29O including of- ficers, in addition to which there are fifty workmen who are to make ex- tensive improvements on the radio station located at Whitshed. This station when repaired will be one of the most powerful on the northern continent.
 Speaking of the marvels of wireless. an authority writing in the Seattle Post Intelligencer says:
 In a recent test to determine the reliability and promptness of wire communication between Northern Al aska and the national capital, the army wireleBs station at Nome trans mitted a long cipher dispatch to the station at North Head. where 1t was put on a wire connected with the army and navy departments at Wash. ington The message required but a few minutes for transmission from Nome, the most western outpost of Alaska, to the seat of government, thousands of miles distant. The pro- cess was then reversed, and a long answer was sent back to Nome in as short time.
 While the feat of working directly with Alaska from wireless stations on the Pacific coast can be accomplished now at any hour of the day or night the achievement of transmitting mes, sages from the national capital with but one break shows that wireless has attained a wonderful importance in military operations. The heads of the army and navy could be as familiar with the details of a campaign in Al aska as though it were going on in the States. and this despite the fact that an enemy might seize and oc. cupy the cable stations.
 On the Atlantic coast the wireless is equally effective. During the naval operations at Vera Cruz, Rear Admiral Fletcher's ships kept in touch with the naval wireless stations at Key West and at Arlington day and night, regardless of the fact that the land wires out of Vera Cruz were not work ] ing at all times.
