assurance that unresisting liners win

good for future submarine operations,

The German government will con.

what now is characterized as defensive
armament really is offensive armament
when submarines are concerned, and
will propose discussion with the United
States OF what defensive armament
properly may be.
AS none of the British and French

Walter S. Munford Got It
Direct From Rock
Island. II
.RE:.LA'YED 70 EAWGE1T.
Not Much Tine Was Con
sumed in Its Trans
mission.

AT least two of the half, dozen or
more wireless stations in this city pick
cd up the message which was sent
broadcast at midnight last night to
test the efficiency OF this mode of COM
munication n a national emergency.
Walter S. Mumford. the well known
electrical engineer, at his plant 1904
Sixth street, got the message direct
from the Rock Island arsenal, and
Bright Fawcett, young amateur, got
1t at his home by relay from a station
in Wheeling.
The message was sent out through
an arrangement OF the members OF the
Amateur Operators association. 1t ori-
glnated at Arlington. the center Of
the government wireless system, and
and was sent from there to the Rock
Island arsenal for Transmission to all
the wireless stations throughout the
country. The idea was to see how
many stations would be able to pick it
up and to check up the time that
would be required to send 1t through
out the length and breadth OF the
land.
The message. which is a quotation
from President Washington, was sent
from Arlington by Colonel Michalson.
1t reads: 9Is @la
A democracy requires that
people who govern and educate

plant bout 1926, It was sent from
S;:Aflingtpnsat II o'clock, eastern time;
and received at Rock Island an hour
later, measured by central time, and
as It was known that it would have to
be carried for some distance by a mes
senger before it could .sbe transmitted
by the Illinois plant, It's receipt here
was hIvery good time indeed.
AT the Fawcett+ plant the receiving
time was about 1890 o'clock, which
demonstrates that not much time is
lost when messages are sent in short
jumps.
