offensive of the enemy is of the great est importance. The enemy obviously Is making repeated efforts to gain at last a. decisive success. How long he will be able to maintain his efforts is uncertain, but we must expect that the heavy fighting will continue''
 The Vossische Zeitung says:
 sThe severe fighting has reached the sixth day without slackening. This confirms the opinion already express ed that this time we have to do with extraordinary efforts.
 .1n view of the bitterness and in : defatigable severity of the daily re- peated attacks, we must come to the conclusion that this offensive surpass- es all previous operations of the kind. It shows methodica1 and careful prep aration, which can only be explained by a firm determination to force de- cision"

WIRELESS TELEPHONE FROM
 ATLANTIC COAST TO HAWAII. A Distance of 4,60o MiIes-Receivine
 Done on Wireless Antennae.

New York, Sept 30.-That wireless telephone communication from the At- lantic seaboard to Hawaii, a distance of 4.6OO miles. is now an accomplished fact was announced today at the of- Aces of the American Telephone and In success the transmission of the hu- man voice from Arlington to Mare Island. oHis>d tffstHnce or 2.500 miles. accomplished last night. 1t was stated that subsequent experiments had re- suited in successful telephone com munication between Arlington 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 the whole of the United States, a distance of 2.500 miles. before 1t encountered the more simple wireless conditions which exist over large bodies of water. For the purpose of this test it was stated that the receiving was done on small wire less ancennae erected by engineers of the telephone company by permission of the naval authorities in the Pearl Harbor station.
 The experiments. it was explained al the offices of the company, are the successful continuation of a series of tests begun last spring with an ex- perimental tower erected as Montauk Point and another at Wilmington. Del, 250 miles apart
 A representative of the company said that while wireless telephony would form an important adjunct to the pres ent telephone system. in that 1t could be established between points where il would be impracticable to extend wires. 1t would not replace the present system. The wireless. he explained. is subject to interference from atmo- spheric conditions and anyone with ap- paratus could listen in on a converse ton.
