SIDELIGHTS ON
EUROPEAN WAR

London.-(C Correspondence of The
Associated Press. THE Wireless
World has received from Berlin a copy
OF a communique recently published
by the German Colonial Office, describ-
ing the serious loss suffered by Ger
many through the destruction of her
chain Of wireless stations. The com
munique says:
Soon after the outbreak OF war all
communication with the colonies by
sea was broken, all German transma-
rine cables were cut by the English, so
that even telegraphic communication
with the whole OF our colonies was
rendered impossible. The only re-
naming means of communication was
wireless telegraphy, but the first war
like measures of the English were
directed to depriving US of this means
also An August u fell the wireless
station zap, and soon afterwards the
station Naru. Tasigata (Samoa) fell
on Aug. %, and Bitapaka, in New Pom
erania, on Sept. u. During the night
of Aug. "A the great station of Kamina
in Togo, had 10 be destroyed by US in
order to prevent its capture.
so vanished all possibility OF
further direct communication with the
African protectOrates, which hitherto
had been able to communicate via
Kamina. As a matter of fact, there
had been from the very beginning
disturbance of the system which pre-
vented us from receiving any reports
from the governor of East Africa after
the outbreak Of war And so the ma
terial which we have here collected,
and which, in the main, reached Ber-
lin by circuitous routes and very late,
and is mostly derived from private let
tiers or from enemy newspapers, must
necessarily remain fragmentary, and
some it must also be regarded as IN

1t looked like an old polo gang

night-some fifteen hundred strong
and they glad-handed an ancient IA

head of an indianapolis quintet known
as the Em.Roes. Just why this name
was wished on them remains a deep
mystery, but 1t did not handicap their

battle to the Greeks, second-placers in
