most compact apparatus now in use is
bulky and therefore an impediment
upon an aeroplane. Still, most of them
are prepared to send messages for a
mile or two. The question of the an
tennae, which catch the Hertzian waves

ing attention. Stretching wires be-
tween the wings has been tried unsat-
ISfactorily. The latest development is
d spool Of wire which can be quickly

Ike the tail Of a kite. The German Zep-
pelins have the advantage of most
other flying machines in the fact that
additional weight does not impede
their progress, and they can therefore
carry powerful instruments capable of
transmitting messages over long dis
tances. This facilitates their control
from boundary stations even when out
some distance
The greatest drawback to wireless
telegraphy is its lack of secrecy. Every
nation and many departments maintain
secret codes. but the possibilities OF
leakage always exist. Furthermore,

party The operator who desires to
intercept a message tunes his inStru

enabled her to be in daily contact with
even her most remote possessions. The
cutting off of these outlying stations
by the allies is believed to have been a
more important conquest than the de-
struction of the strongest vessels of
the German navy. Six months ago a
perfect network of wireless communi-
cations, centering in the great wire
less station at Nauen, kept Germany in
touch with conditions in South Africa,
South America, China and the South
seas.
The communications with Africa were
by way of a station located in the
CAMERON mountains in Africa to

and to Dares-es -Salaam, in German
Southeast Africa. 1t is claimed that

Germans in Africa.
At Tsingtau and in the Bismarck
archipelago Germany had other pow
munication with China and other for
eign centers. The capture of Tsing-
tau by the Japanese and the conquest
OF the Bismarck archipelago by the
Australian forces have interfered with
direct communication in this part of
the world. Germany had also erect
ed a powerful wireless station upon
Nantucket Island, which was designed
TO facilitate communication with this
country. To save political complica-
tions the United States has assumed
charge of this station, and permits the
transfer of neutral messages only
Notwithstanding these drawbacks
Germany still preserves a powerful
system of wireless communications
which Have made possible her daring
victorias on the ocean and her bold
aerial exploits. 1t is understood that
the interior wireless system of Ger
many was the most completely organ
1zed in the world. A few months ago
plans were made for constructing a
wall of wireless stations around her
entire boundaries. which is now be-
lieved to be completed. These boundary
wireless stations have aided materially
in directing the attacks of the great

WIRELESS IN WAR.

The Italian navy entered the Euro
pean conflict with better equipment
for communication than have any OF
the other belligerents. An Italian ad-
niral is able to transmit his orders
orally to the captains Of ships within
certain range by means OF wireless

veloped by Marconi within the past
few months The Italian navy has
officially adopted the new instrument

and wireless telephone communication
established between New York and
Philadelphia
The facilities for direct and rapid
communication in the present war are
among its most striking developments.
The advantages of wireless messages
over the older systems of telegraphy
and telephony are obvious. and this
method of communc cation is likely to
be greatly improved during the pres
ent year. Marconi has already ex-
pressed to the kings of England and
Italy his confidence in being able
ultimately to transmit audible speech
across the Atlantic ocean by multiply
ing the power and slightly modifying
the design of the instruments which
have already proved practical on the
Italian ships The development of this
system will do away with the tedious
processes of coding and recoding the
messages, as in wireless telegraphy.

under the present conditions.

portance. The cutting down of interior
telephone and telegraph wires, which was
SO tremendous a factor in shutting off the
advancement of troops in former wars,
has had little influence in this one Wire
less messages are being used everywhere.
The control of the wireless stations of the
world is now more important than the
supremacy of the sea In fact, oceanic
supremacy depends almost entirely upon
complete wireless connections.

What came near being a serious affair yesterday evening was fire in the fuel room at the Prescott Ice X Milling Company's Plant which is about one-half miles north of this city on the Iron Mountain right of way. Late in the evening fire was discovered in the fuel room. Shay ings from the Junction City Lumber Company's plant is used by the ice plant and it first it was not thought that the fire had gained much headway. The room was closed and the steam jets opened but seemed to have very little effect on burning shavings. Tho plant is equipped with thiee inch wat Ter pipes and when the streams were turned in the room the fire was easily eXtinguished.
 Manager A. H. Smith states that if the fuel room had not been built of sheet iron, with iron studding, it would have been impossible to have controlled the fire and the entire plant might have been lost.
