the Anna at New orleans of ,575 tons

On the entire line big gains have
everywhere been made. Heavy casu-
alties have been inflicted on the Ger
mans and in addition prisoners run
ming into the thousands-5,s16 already
have been counted-and great guam
titles of war material were captured.
The operations are still in progress.
The British casualties are declared to
have been slight.
Probably the greatest gains were

AS the days pass by more and more

testimonials Of weIl-known people who

GIANT RADIO STATION
AT SAN Diego READY
Steady Naval Wireless Communicat or
with Pacific Coast Starts Today.

The magnificent new naval wireless
station at San Diego will be opened
this morning at 10 o'clock, and greet
tngs will be flashed to and from the
President through the Arlington sta
tion.
Its opening marks an era in the
direct communication service Of the
navy, between the Atlantic and PACING
coasts So far as naval affairs and
naval communications are concerned,
the ordinary telegraph is now prac-
tically obsolete, and IL will be used
less and less, and later possibly not
at all.
The navy wireless stations at San
Francisco and Puget Sound have been
in service for some time, but they re-
quired such tremendous power to COM
municate directly with Arlington that
the direct communications between
them have been infrequent and the
great volume OF naval orders and COM
municatfons have been sent by ordi-
nary telegraph.
At San Diego there has been erect
ed an enormous station that is more
powerful and more modern than any
other in the service. Its equipment
will be So adjusted and of such power
that communicating with Arlington
will be a normal service, not an e1 ira
ordinary service, as is the case With
San Francisco and Puget Sound II
will be the most powerful station In
the world. with the possible exception
of the two German stations that send
to Sayville and Tuckerton.
The Navy Department plans to matn-
tain a constant service between Arl-
ington and San Diego, or rather, the
volume of commup cations will be Sc
great that the service will be constant
San Diego will be the relay station
for messages from Washington to the
naval wireless stations at Alaska, and
probably the only relay station.
The wireless service of the navy will
be finished with the completion Of g
station at Pc ri Harbor. in Hawaii
and one at Cagite, in the Philippines
Messages from Washington to Manila
about 10000 miles, will be relayed al
San Diego and Pearl Harbor. These
stations will be completed this year.
