Wireless has proved u great boon In war. A
scout ~alrplnne today If up to the minute has a
wireless set aboard. This provides 1t with the
only means of communication with Its base. or
with the battery Of heavy guns, when engaged
upon the direction Of artillery fire. The wireless
is the voice of the oceans. 1t links up ship with
ship. however distant from the land Or from
the recognized routes Of trade. Without 1t modern
naval warfare would be impossible. The 5 . >
signal ia the most urgent and sacred call In the
wireless world, a Gull few operators will ignore.
And vet the enemy has made false use OF this
sianal. There was one case OF an American skip
per somewhere of Bantry buy, who, picking up
an s O s some SO miles distant, made thither ut
ton speed, to find on arrival, not a vessel In dis
tress, but q German submarine, the commander
of which not only made no apology. but was 30
annoyed to find that It was nm American Instead
of a British boat that he had shared that he
threatened to sink It there and then; and prob
ably he would have put his threat into force had
not a British destroyer showeyb up on the horizon.

fsrcer, the ship was raked from end to end. They
had not q single weapon Of their own with which
to retalinte, but they stuck to 1t ms only British

the utter vacuity Of border soldering and the lack
