 to France and the other t0 Italy.
 Washington, May 1.-The United States has already placed a consider able amount of ship tonnage at the disposal of the Entente allies.

 Lord Percy declared that the pres ent rate of British construction oi ships and the present estimated Amer ican rate could not keep pace with the present rate of destruction by Submarines
 '+The balancing figure in the world struggle said, Lord Percy, 'is the tonnage the United States can sup ply"
 Lord Percy'ss- announcement was the first intimation, that the shipping conference had actually resulted ir any agreement. ItswasA taken as a forerunner of a very wide degree o1 cooperation in which the present ton mage and the futura4 building powers of this country will be pooled with the Allies to defeat the German sab- marine menace. &

LENGTH OF WIRELESS WAVE
Naturally, 1t 10 Four Times That Of
the Aerial, But This Does Not
Always Hold Good.

In articles of wireless telegraphy
such expressions as 200-meter wave
lengths, 600-meter wave-lengths, 49,
000-meter wave-lengths are constantly
used. In reply to correspondent who
asks how the length of the waves is
measured the Scientific American gives
the following simple explanation:
"The length Of an electric wave IL
determined by wave-meter. The nat
ural wave-length of an aerial Is four
times its linear length, just as the
wave-length of note of n closed or
gan pipe is four times the length Of the
pipe, and the wave-length OF the note
Of tuning fork is four times the
length of the box which is resonant
with the note. However, other con-
siderations make 1t difficult to measure
the wave-length by a rule and the
wave-meter gives more correct re-
suit than can be found by measuring
the length Of the WIRE"
