 Radiograms Game
 From U-Boat Liner

New York. Aug. 1.-Two strange wireless calls for "Telefanken station. New York. heard between and 3 o'clock this morning, and the refusal of the sender to disclose his identity although questioned by the shore sta- tions. led to the belief that the call might be from the German submarine Bremen. This could not be verified.
 The caller signed his message with the signal ID B U" which is the pri- vate signal of the North German Lloyd steamer Bres1eau, believed to be tied up in the port of New Or leans The mysterious caller would say only that he was on board a coal steamer.
 All German ships before the war used the Telefanken call. The first of the wireless flashes was received at 1850 a. m. and the sender was told by the shore stations that the Tele- fanken station was then closed. An hour later the sender asked the shore station at Seagate to ascertain when the Telefanken station would be opened.
