ALDYKES HONOLULU BAZE A.
IL looks like Esperanto, or some ,e
of the other universal languages, but
1t isn't; it is the new, code OF III.
Mid-Paci6c Carnival, on which I.irce-
tor-Gcneral Cooper was wor ing Us.
terday, for the benefit Of all vi i.uls To
the Islands
'1Asfar as have anaIyzcd tho con
gestion Of traffic which undoubtedly
exists" said Judge Cooper vest; rday,
1.-THE focus Of the problem is the IL.
ability of the traveller to learn at San
Francisco what return accommodations
he can obtain here on any given date.
| 1.-THE steamship companies kect, no
charts In San Francisco Of eastt ound
reservations made here. The passenger
can obtain the information, IL H. is
willing TO pay for il, but he must send
a cable or a radiogram to get it, and IL
the inquiry Is written out in full, the
lexpense is heavy. E..-.,
"Given this code, the passenger can
ask the fullest and most minute par.
tieulars in three words at a cost Of
seyenty-fve cents by wireless. 3"
1 Three Words Are Minimum AZ.
No message can contain less than
three words. Necessarily, the first two
words contain the name Of the all
dressee and the city in which no lives,
or where delivery is to be made.
| 'ln this ease, we will suppose that
a passenger in San Francisco, who has
engaged transportation TO the Islands,
wishes to make return reservations OF
/ particular kind, on certain steamer
| at a specified date, l. have, chosen the
longest possible inquiry or order he
can make, and this is the way IL is
compressed into one coded word
| Bazema:
| BA--Please reserve all of cabin
i number
\ ZE.-Thirty four.
| MA-Voyage of Sierra January 1915.
/ The FIRST two words--Aldykes Ho-
nolulu-are the address, Of course.
Similarly, the reply will be addressed to
Franjud Sanfraneiscoy two words, and
all the meat Of the message will be
packed into the one word Abtazitezu.
Again we win suppose the longest,
most complicated message possible, and
this is the way the code handles il: ID
Authorization asked for are en-.
gagged. I,.fs s.}e'H ID .'r3
TA-We can give you lower berth for
gentleman in cabin number , ,s,,
ZG-Thirty- one. wv, '.'%r'stT.
Tive can give you lower berth for
lady in cabin number r.
ZU-Thirty-three. KIT.
Carefully Worked Out a. ~ .a ,.-......
1.-The code has been carefully
worked out so that there are no con.
fusing juxtapositions Of letters, and
has been approved by the managers
here of the two wireless companies. An
operator receiving code has no context
to guide him; so far as he is con
cerned, the message is pure gibberish;
and good code should be so composed
that there is as little likelihood as
possible Of jumbling the dots and
dashes in letters that sound at all alike
and stand next each other. e,
"COpies of the code, explaining lust
what it means, will be fled with the
wireless censor, so that there can be
no objection on the part Of the govern.
ment, while the war lasts, TO sending
code by wireless. --sA EbA6t&E
1.-THE carnival booklet which we sh Ill
get out will contain the code and Illus
trations of it's application, like the one
| have just given for the guidance of
travellers
"Advertising and transportation are
the two main subjects to which / shall
address myself first, and they have an
important connection.
