PANAMA WIRELESS STATION GREATEST
 IN WHOLE WORLD

The navy's radio station on the Panama canal. probably the most powerful in the world, soon will be put into commission. It Is one of five large plants with which the sec retary of the navy will be kept in constant communication with every naval station and every ship af1oat on the Atlantic and Pacific. When the system is completed messages can be flashed from Washington 1o Alaska on the north, to the straits of Magel- Ian in the extremity of South Amer east, or across the Pacific to Man fla, China or Japan.
 Although no effort has been made yet to send messages from Panama says the Washington Star, pr. l.. w. Austin, the departments expert, who has charge of opening the station, has reported to the navy depart naent that he has been picking up German war bulletins sent from Hanover to SayvilIe station.
 During the past two months reg ular mmunications have been made from Washington by the Arlington station to San Diego, Cal. The Pan- anna station is four times as strong as the Arlington plant. and under the plans of the navy department the Arlington station Is to be brought up to the standard of the new one on the canal With $1,5o0. 900 authorized by the naval appropriation bill of the latest session. the navy department plans to establish at San Diego. Homo lulu, Manila and possibly at Guam stations of as great power as that of Panama It is believed that the large plant at Honolulu will keep open regular communications with Manila without the assistance of large station at Guam. In that event only a sub-station will be maintain d at
 Three 6O0- Foot Towers
 The station at the Panama, canal is quite an extensive plant, being equipped with three six-hundred-foot towers. Its machinery has 100-kilo- watt power. but the radius of its sending power will not be known un- til it is tested.
 The German station which is trans hitting the war bulletins to the Uni ted States is sending messages a dis tance of 3,40O miles, and 1t was not regarded as so powerful as the Arl- ington station, unless it has been equipped with some new appliances since the opening of the war
 During the past year the navy de- partment has been developing a sys- tenn of smaller stations. all along the coast line Of the country Within a short time it will have stations on both coasts not more than 200 miles apart Some time ago the Alaskan wireless system was developed, and with the completion of the five big stations all of the official business of I the navy department will be trans l acted over that wireless system. The military importance of the big navy wireless system can scarcely be 1 estimated With it orders can be is- l sued to the American fleets in both l oceans, the President can follow ev4 cry movement of the fleets of other l nations on both oceans and can con trol the movement of every ship that carries the American flag.
