HELLO, PARIS!
LEAPS ATLANTIC
BY WIRELESS
Arlington Operator Talks
to France While Homo
lulu Listens.

A man In Arlington, Va, talked 10
Paris and Honolulu at the same time
few days ago. The American Telephone
and Telegraph Company, which en-
ploys him, kept the news secret until
last night, and then, when the cables
had brought confirmation that the
speakers voice had been heard and
understood at both stations, announced
the feat.
The apparatus was the same as that
used few weeks ago In talking from
San Francisco TO Honolulu. As there
Is only one transmitter capable Of
sending speech across the ocean, the
message was zone way
B. B. Webb, an engineer OF the com
pany, at Arlington, did the talking. II.
F. Shreeve. another employe of the
Western Electric in Paris, caught the
message at the receiving station on the
peak Of the Eiffel Tower. Out In the
middle of the Pacific, Lloyd Espen-
schied, of the Honolulu station. picked
IN the same words. The first message
was sent on Tuesday, October IL. 1t
has been repeated several times since,
and plainly heard at both places.
Hello. hello, hello, shreeve.' and
"Goodby. coodby, goodby. shreeve."
Webb's voice registered at the same
moment in Europe and halfway TO Asia
"Hello, hello" he repeated, and
"goodby, goodby." Then he rang on
officials Of the company at the New
York Office, Is Dey Street, made light
Of the experiment.
"It's the first time that It's been
done, that's true" they admitted, but
it's not half as big feat electrically

American Telephone and Telegraph
Company.
New York then rang up Washington
and asked for Captain W. II. G. Bull
lard, L. S. ~, the governments chief
radio officer. He refused 10 say how
the wireless telephone would afect
raval warfare in the future.
"Wait till hear more about II" he
said.
The feat of spanning the Atlantic by
a human voice is the climax Of three
years Of experiment and invention, ac-
cording TO the American Telephone and
Telegraph Company. When the call
was sent 20 Paris, il linked up by radio
circuit of approximately ten thou
sand miles. And, the company claims,
il sounded the knell OF the cable, and
even of the wireless telegraph.

officials, "you can drop q nickel in the
slot in Times Square and make date
in the Place de lOpers."

Mr.. Whitlock also stated that Miss
Cavell had nursed German soldiers.
Mr.. Deleval, counsellor Of the Amer
lean Legation, reported to Minister
Whitlock:
This morning Mr. Gahan, an Eng
lish clergyman, told me that he had
seen Miss Cavell in her cell yesterday
night at 10 o'clock and that he had
given her the Holy Communion and
had found her admirably strong and
calm.
Happy to Die for Country.
T asked Mr.. Gahan whether she had
made any remarks about anything con-
cerning the legal side of her case, and
whether the confession which she made
before trial and in court was In his
opinion perfectly free ana sincere.
"Mr. Gahan said she told him she
was perfectly well and knew what she
had done; that, according to the law,
OF course she was guilty, and admitted
her guilt, but that she was happy to
die for her country" -,
Secretary Gibson's report says that
Conrad, an official OF the German civil
branch, gave positive assurances on

tion would be fully informed OF the
developments in the case, AMI con-

repeated inquiries in the course OF the

out that the death sentence had hereto

offences charged against Miss Cavell
were long since accomplished. and as
she had been for some weeks in a

to point out the fearful effect of a
summary execution Of this sort upon

bil,ty that it might bring about re-
prisals."

Baron Won der Lancken stated that the
military governor WAS the supreme
authority in matters Of this sort, and
that an appeal from his decision could
be carried only to the Emperor, the
Governor General having no authority
TO intervene in such cases.
After some discussion he agreed TO
call the military governor on the tele-
phone and learn whether he had al
ready ratified the sentence and whether
there WAS any chance for ciemency.
