Capt. Billiard, Navy Expert,
Says Wireless Possibilities
Are Unlimited.
GREAT BENEFIT IN WAR

WAsHrNGroS, Oct. 2i.--"The day is
not far distant when tho Secretary OF
the Navy will he able to take his tcle-
phone receiver of its hook and talk d.
rectly with the commander Of any
American battleship In my part OF the
world"
That was the opinion expressed to-day
BY Capt. W. II. Billiard OF the navy. SUI
perintendent OF the ffty-two wireless
stations in the United States and Its
Island possessions.
Capt. Bullard. who makes his head
quarters at Arlington. participated in
the recent wireless telephony tests which
resulted in the establishment Of COM
m%unication with Paris by means OF the
human voice. He talked to "a man OF
the Eiffcl Tower in the French capital
and cable messages have been received
stating that his voice was plainly heard.
W are able to communicate with
hattloships now by means of wireless
said Capt. Bullard. but wireless tel
ephony holds many additional advan-
tages. The person calling will know ex-
actly to whom he Is talking direct con-
tact will be established and u reply will
come lack Immediately. thus saving long
and at times costly delays.

CHICAGO. Oct. 24.--John J. Carly,

Telegraph Company. who directed the
long series of experiments that reached
their climax In the radio talk between
Arlington. Va. and the Eiffel Tower,
Paris. which were also heard In Homo
lulu. told the inside story to-day of the
wireless telephone. Much OF the expert
mental work was done In the labora-
tories Of the Western Electric Company
in New York.

There have been disputes abou the

he said. Probably Prof Alexander
Bell. however. first talked through the
air. The science was not developed &c

Ten years ago the American Telc-
phone and Telegraph Company decided
to cest possibilities OF wireless telephony.
There are approximately 500 scientists
IN the employ of the company. During
the last ten years AT least nifty of those
men have devoted their time largely 10
the apparatus needed. The eNper meuts

CAR GOES TO FRONT.

PETROGRAD, May 2O.-Russian
troops are continuing their successes
at both eXtremities of the S0O-mile
front, extending from the Baltic sea
to Bukowina. But their situation in
Galicia is still critical 1t was admitted
at the war office that the Germans
had effected a CROSSING # the San
river and had captured positions on
the east bank of the river, which they
have fortified.
The bombardment of Przemsyl is in
creasing in violence. Shells are fall
ing ten miles from the center of the
town. 1t shows that the Germans
have advanced seven miles toward the
main fortification in As hours.
The arrival Of Emperor Nicholas at
the front has restored confidence that
was rapidly disappearing. The Bourse
Gazette eptimizes the general feeling
as regards the Galician situation by
saying. steel will bend but never
break The Russians will prove wor-
thy and valiant defenders"
The attacks by the Austro-Ge,m !
forces have prevented the Russians
though heavily reinforced, from taking
the offensive. On the two hundred
mile front from Opatow to Kolome the
Teutonic commanders have concentra-
ted about 40 army corps, or 100000
men.
