Navy's Tests Successful.

Washington. Sept. 30.-Navy Depart
ment officials were enthusiastic today
over the experiments resulting for the
first time in transcontinental wireless
telephone communication.
By this means the human voice was
successfully transmitted yesterday
from the Arlington wireless plant to
the Mare Island. Cal, naval station. a
distance of $500 miles.
This achievement, together with the
successful operation of a device for
automatically transferring to the radio
telephone conversations originating on
metallic circuits was accomplished aft
er extended tests conducted by dfrec.
ton of Captain Bullard, chief of the
navy's radio service, in cooperation
with the American Telephone and
Telegraph Company and the Western
Electric Company.
President Theodore N. Vail and
other officials of the American TeIe-
phone and Telegraph Company at New

in clear. distinct tone, with the Mare
Island station, the conversation being
transmitted over an ordinary metallic

Talk IN Pearl Harbor.

New York, Sept. 3O.-That wireless
telephone communication from Arling-
ton to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, dis
tance of 1900 miles, is now an ac-
complished fact, was announced today
at the offices of the American Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company.
Exceeding even In success the trans
mission of the human voice from Ar
lington to Mare Island, Cal, distance
of $500 miles, accomplished last night.
1t was stated that subsequent expert.
ments had resulted in successful tele.
phone communication between Arling.
ton and the naval radio station at
Pearl Harbor. Hawaii.
The distance over which this wire
less communication was held Is
greater than the distance from New
York to London. Paris. Berlin or
Rome.
The voice had TO travel over the
whole of the United States. a distance
of $500 miles, before 1t encountered
the more simple wireless conditions
which exist over large bodies Of water.
For the purpose of this test 1t was
stated that the receiving was done on
small wireless antennae erected by
engineers of the telephone company
by permission of the naval authorities
in the Pearl Harbor station.
The experiments, 1t was explained
at the offices of the company, are the

ANOTHER GREAT ACCOMPLISH

DISTANCE 4,60O MILES
WIRELESS PHONE WILL NOT SUP
PLANT PRESENT SYSTEM,
HOWEVER.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Washington, Sept. 30. Wireless
telephone communication across the
continent was accomplished for the
first time today, when experiments ex-
tending over several months culmi-
mated in successful transmissions of
the human voice by radio from the
great naval plant at Arlington, Va, to
the station at Mare Island, Cal, $500
miles away.
The experiments were conducted
under direction of Captain Bullard,
chief of the navy's radio service. in
cooperation with the American Tele.
phone and Telegraph Company and
the Western Electric Company.
Great Changes Forecast.
Secretary Daniels, in announcing the
result tonight, predicted that further
development of wireless telephony
would make great changes in long
distance communication, both for mill
tary and naval service and in com.
mercial usage.
Successful operation of a device for
automatically transferring to the radio
telephone conversations originating on
metallic circuits also was accom-
plished in today's tests. President
Theodore N. Vail and other officials
of the American Telephone and Tele'
graph Company at New York talked
easily with the Mare Island station,
the conversation travelling over an or
dinary metallic line from New York
to Arlington and thence by radio
across the continent.
The use of such long distance wire
less telephone communication in naval
or military operations is still in an
undeveloped state, but it is expected
va luable use can be made of this won.
