HUMAN VOICE IS TRANSMITTED FROM ATLANTIC SEAHoARD
 TO HONOLULU.
| DISTANCE OF 4,600 MILES
Remarkable Demonstration of Ameri- can Telegraph & Telephone Com pany Engineers Regarded As Marvellous Triumph of
 Science

Wireless telephony rom the htfah- tic seAboard to Hawaii-a distance of 4,6o0 miles-is an accomplished fact By the special wireless telephone de- yelopments which have been made by the engineers of the American Tele- graph and Telephone Company and of the Western Electric Company speech was transmitted September 29th from Washington to q wireless station In Honolulu. If anything further was needed to show the w derful capac. ity Of these new discoveries by the engineers of the Bell System. this last triumph coming but few hours after MT. Vail. president of the company had talked by wireless from Washing ton to Mir Carty. it's chief engineer, located at Mare Island near San Fran cisco, Cal. Is conclusive.
 That transatlantic wireless tele- phone communication is assured AS soon as the disturbed condition in Europe will permit of tests from this country is obvious when it is remem- bered that all scientists agree on the fact that II is more difficult 10 send wireless telephone communications across land than across water. This wonderful wireless telephone message from Washington to Hawaii had 10 pass over the entire United States-a distance of 2.b00 miles-before IL en- countereo the more simple wireless conditions which exist over large bodies of water
 For the purpose of this test the sending was done from the navy wire less station at Arlington, just outside cf Washington. D C The message was received by small wireless ap- paratus at the United States naval station. Pearl Harbar, Hawaii.
 Wireless telephony has been he goal of the American Telephone X Telegraph Company ever since 1t sue ceeded in establishing the transconti- nental communication by wire last January Prior 10 sending the wire less telephone message 10 Hawaii, President Theo. N Vail. Of the Amer ican Telephone < Telegraph Com pany, seated at his desk al - Dey street, New York, talked into a Bell talephone instrument and his voice carried by wire 10 the radio station Of the navy department 1t Arlington. D. C., and from there through the air 10 the radio station at Mare Island. Cal, where it was heard by John T. Carry, chief engineer of ,he American Teie- phone X Telegraph Company, and others
 The following statement was made by Mr Vail after the successful de monstration Of wireless telephony be- tween Washington, D C. aad Hawaii
 T do not think that l can better express my views Tn regard to wireless telephony ttan to cuote The telegram which I have just sent 10 Mir Carty, the chief engineer Of ttis company:
 "'Carty: want 10 congratulate Sor on yesterdays climax in the way Of achievements, the greatest n ID. tercomnunication that fn world has ever seen.
 ITO you and the wonderful staff created by you. the world owes debt
 ITO throw your voice directly with out the aid Of wires from Was shingtoh to Hawaii, nearly 5.000 miles. a great er distance from New York 70 Paris. Berlin, Vienna or Petrograd and great CT than that between Seattle and Tokio and Yokohoma, was wonderful but to send the recognised voice bart way over wire and part through the air was still more wonderful and was the demonstration of the chiefest use that will probably attach to the wire loss as simplifying and supplementing. not substituting, the wire system and hring into conversational communica- ton ships. islands and places which cannot otherwise be reached Your work hss indeed brought us one long step nearer our ideal \ "UpivegpsI System. !"
