No evidence has as yet been gath
cred to show that communication with
submarines had ever been established.
Navy officers say, however, submarines
could receive messages when coming
to me surface although they probably
could not acknowledge the receipt.
Under recent executive order,
President Wilson authorizes the navy
department to take over "one or more"
wireless stations and conduct q COM
rnercial business, holding the net pro-
ceeds in trust for the owners. Both
the Sayville and Tuckerton stations
are privately owned but the Depart
ment of justice has upheld the legal
right of the government under a re-
cent act of Congress to appropriate in
a case Of emergency. The addition of
some high powered instruments at
Salville has made it possible it is said,
to equal the work of the Tuckerton
station.
