COMMUNICATION
HANDICAPPED BY STORMS

New York, May 25.-Wireless COM
munication between the United States
and Germany has been severely han
dicapped and probably will continue
so until about July ! by static cOndi-
tions prevailing in the North Atlantic
at this time of the year.
The wireless station at Sayville, L..
l., the receiving station of the Allan
tic Communication company, the Ger
man wireless concern, has within the
last week or two been isolated from
the sending plant at Nauen, Germany,
it was learned today, and the same
situation exists at Tuckerton, n. j.,
the sending station for messages to
Germany. Sucn messages as are re-
ceived at Sayville are for the most
part fragmentary, or often impossible
to decipher.
The electrical activities of the
Aurora Borealis, accompanied by cleo
trical storms over the wireless routes,
are the cause of the difficulty, it is
explained, and may be expected to
continue several weeks. This means
that until normal conditions prevail,
uncensored communications between
Germany and the outside world will
be limited.
With the cutting off of the German
owned Atlantic cable at the beginning
of the war, Germany had to fall back
upon her wireless plants to transmit
news and official or diplomatic mes
sages through a channel not con-
trolied by her enemies. For this the
Sayville station became the distrib-
uting center, the wireless message
being thence transmitted by neutral
cable or telegraph TO all parts of
the world. In this way Germany has
kept in touch with her diplomatic
representatives in neutral countries
and the German war office state.

ments have been distributed uncen-

The intensity of the static disturb
ances now occurring frequently in
crease the wireless distance between
Sayyille and Nauen by the equivalent
of 1000 miles, it is said a handicap
which the Nauen station, powerful as
it is, cannot overcome. Messages
which are made ineligible are the
joint work of four receiving oper-
ators, each getting what he can, and
placing the fragments together.
The news agencies meantime have
been obliged to depend upon London
for regular transmission of the daily
German war office statement.

UNWILLING
BRADDOCK
MONUMENT
SOCIETY OF COLONIAL DANES OF
VIRGINIA MARK POINT FROM
WHICH BRADDoCK AND HIS
TROOPS DEPARTED.

Alexandria, Va, May 26.-Marking
the point from which Major General
Edward Braddock and his force OF
British regulars and Virginia troops,
with Colonel George Washington as
aide de-camp, departed from here in
April, 1855, on the disastrous eXpe-
dition to take Fort Duquesne, the
present site of Pittsburgh, Pa, in
the war against the French and In
dians, an interesting monument was
unveiled here today by the Society
of the Colonial Danes of Virginia.
Many members Of the Society of
Colonial Danes, the Daughters of the
American Revolution and other pa
triotic societies from various parts
of Virginia, the District of Columbia,
Maryland and Pennsylvania witnessed
the presentation of the monument to
officials of the city of Alexandria.
Many of those present will take part
tomorrow in the unveiling of a sim
liar monument at Winchester, Va.
One of the old British cannon aban-
doned here by General Braddock, sur
mounts the monument. For many
years the cannon had stood upright
in the earth at one OF the city's street
corners as a marker and was an
object of interest to sightseers. By
an act of the city council several years
ago the ancient piece of ordnance,
brought from England by General
Braddock when he came out to Nir-
ginia as generalissimo of all of the
British forces in the American colo
nies in the war against the French,
was turned over to the Mount Yer
non chapter of the Daughters of the
American Revolution. That organi-
zation today formally presented it to
the Virginia Colonial Danes under
whose auspices the monument was
erected.
Forming the base of the monument
and mounting the old cannon are
other relics of bygone days, in the
shape of cobblestones which, for more
than a century, had served the city
of Alexandria as paving in some OF
its principal streets, and which show
the ruts worn by the artillery and
transport OF the northern armies
during the civil war. The stones are
said by tradition to have been laid on
! AleXandria's streets by Hessian SOL
diers captured in the war of the
Revolution by the Continental troops

! base of the monument bears this in
