Joint Protest Against Ship
Seizure Policy Seriously
Considered by Officials Here.

A Pan-American protest to England
against her ship seizure policy is under
serious consideration today by ,he Ad-
ministration. Joint action by the United
states and Argentina In n first trial or
Pan-American diplomatic unity against
q European power Is being discussed.
Unofficial and Informal suggestion
has already come from Argentina for
such diplomatic cooperation. The South
American republic has grievances
against England similar to those of the
United States over communicating OF
the Wagner liners Hooking and Genesee
in which the question Of German IN
terest is involved. The Argentine
steamer President Mitrc was recently
seized by British authorities on the
ground of enemy ownership.
State Department officials openly eN-
press amazement and indignation over
the British rcuuisitioning of the iock-
ing and the Genesee before prlZe court
proceedings were ended, even though
bonds were given by the government
Prompt and vigorous protest to the
British foreign office was forecast.
State Department authorities, OFF,
cially advised by the American consul
at Halifax. said further reports were
awaited from Ambassador Page at
London regarding the preliminary
protest already made before proceed
ing further.
The arbitrary rcauisitioning of the
vessels was said today to be without
precedent. authorized only by the
British orders in council. which are
denounced by this and other neutral
governments az illegal
The diplomatic developments, Off
cials hinted. which may follow, may
take pre-em!ncnce in any dispute with

neen disposed in the past to make
diplomatic representations against
prize court proceedings involving the
Wagner ships. but is now ready Wig
orously TO challenge England's action
and insist upon restitutiop.

Navy's Tests Successful.

Washington, Sept. 3O.-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, q
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 direc
tion 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 Tele
phone and Telegraph Company at New
York, conversed for several minutes
in a clear, distinct tone, with the Mare
island station, the conversation being
transmitted over an ordinary metallic
line from New York to Arlington, and

1901 enlisted men. This is shortage OF sol
diers of 1920 agreeably to the force authorized
by law, and this is an intimation of the extreme
ly heavy work that the men would have to face
IN of hostties, because minus q
vitality necessary reserve.
The average ayman has but the slightest
knowledge OF the extremely technical character
Of the Coast Artillery corps, and to be proficient
these soldiers receive a many-sided education.
Theirs Is the task Of getting the advantage OF the
enemy before the foe can locate the position Of
our guns and mortars, and the whole system OF
defense is the exact opposite of the way In
which a hostile squadron would approach its ag-
gressive task.
From the very beginning of the planning Of our
existing seaboard batteries the idea of conceal
ment the first concern. The mortars were
designed to be hidden away In pits-each OF
them holding four of these weapons. The heavy
rifles not to be in plain sight, with their
threatening muzzles peering ever the crcsts OF
parapets. Instead the disappearing carriage was
invented for mount These gave the rifles the
power to crouch while loading awaiting serv-
ice and then, when the moment for action
rived, to spring up suddenly from behind their
embrasures, to fire directly at the foe, and by
the force of their own recoil to sink from view
and into position for reloading.
How is 1t possible for weapons OF this sort to
be aimed at their targets? It is commonly known
that In naval service the guns held upon
their quarry by means OF electrically operated
mechanisms that swing and elevate the rifles
can be kept right on a moving target even though
the be rough and the vessel roll The gun
pointers undisturbed by this motion. and at
900 yards and more are able to do some won
derful shooting, But the gun pointers and train
ers in the mortar pits and the empacements OF
the big rifles do not. themselves see the enemy.
Yet despite this seeming handicap still they are
able to do extraordinarily effective work
The army gun pointers near New York, with
1Oinch disappearing rifles, have been able to fre
four shots in a total elapsed time of less than
one minute, and these were concentrated upon q
target four miles away being towed at the rate
of something five miles an hour. All four
shots struck the target and actually passed
through a rectangle "a feet high by 53 feet long.
At 800 yards the same caliber guns at Fortress
Monroe scored six hits out of six shots at NOV
ing target. The total elapsed time of the firing
was slightly two minutes, the batteries scor-
ing IA hits per gun per minute.
The science of surveying has made these
achievements possible even though, as has been
said the guns and mortars must be trained and
elevated by men who cannot see their targets.
