HEARS 1T TOO
Test OF Wireless Talking
Over Ocean Meets With
Success.
EXPERT PREDICTS
EASY TOXIC CALLS

Another epochal achievement in wire
less interontinental communication was
announced yesterday by the American
Telephone and Telegraph Company. At
IL :55 A. NJ yesterday-just about three
weeks after the human voice was heard
at Honolulu by wireless from Arlington.
Na,-observers listening at the Eifel
Tower In Paris heard an engineer of the
company greet them at the Arlington
station, 3.soO miles away. The Paris
observers cabled confirmation of the
feat to this country yesterday afternoon.
and word was received also that the
Honolulu engineers, listening at the
Pearl Harbor Navy Yard at the same
time. had heard Arlington say Hello"
TO Paris.
The successful Transmission of speech
from Arlington to Paris marks the con-
clusion vi remarka BILE chapter OF eX-
perimenu work begun last June. when
expeditions to test the wireless tele-
phone We're sent to Panama. san Diego
Mare Island. Cal: Honolulu and Paris
Now all have reported success.
Paris was the last to be heard from
because OF the war. though II is held not
TO be as difficult TO talk across the ocean
as to talk from New York to san Fran
cisco. Facilities We're limited in Paris to
a Few minutes testing each dag. The
Arlington to Paris test twice succe eded
week ago and was repeated after mid
night on Wednesday, but no announce
ment was made out of courtesy to the
French Government.

American Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany. VITO supervised the experiments,
would make no definite predictions as
TO the commercial availability OF the
wireless telephone. but he expressed his
, firm belief that though there was a vast
amount of work yet to he done IT would
be possible in few years to talk from
any telephone in New York TO any one
In Toxic. The experiments OF the last
few months proved the principle, he said.
and If Toxic can talk with New York II
will be possible for Paris to talk with
Honolulu. The engineers now know
added Mr. Carty. that the feat can be
done and how to do IT.
Incidentally Mr.. Carly described the
Arlington to Paris communication over
the long distapce telephone from Chica &c
at o'clock last night. The newspaper
men each held IA receiver and heard hin
talk about the experiment and asked
nim questions through one OF their mum.
