IL RAIDER CAPTIVES
ARRIVE AT NEW YORK

New York. Feb. 1I-Eleven members
OF the crew Of the British steamer St
Theodore, which was captured In the
South Atlantic by a German raider, ar
rived here today on the steamship st.
Francis. seven of them were Americans.
two were Dutch, one was English and
one Russian. or the Americans four
were negroes.
The st. Theodore was captured by the
raider on December IL while en- route
from Norfolk to Savona with coal. The
crew was put on board the raider, but
on January IL, the seamen were trans
ferred to the Hudson Maru and later
landed at Pernambuco. While on the

is flying the machines used in the tests.
The apparatus, put into operation for
the first time several days ago, consists
of four megaphones, each six feet long
and three feet across the mouth. set up
so that their small ends converge upon
a microphone. Rubber tubes equipped
with earpieces connect with the micro
phone.
While no official report on the sue
cess OF the instrument can be given
until the tests are completed, 1t was
learned unoffcially, that the machine
had distinctly recorded the noise OF
a height Of 5000 feet and that 1t was
equally efficient when he rose to 1000
feet
Improvement of telephone connections
for the Coast Guard as a means of more
adequate defense has been urged by
Josephus Daniels, Secretary of the Navy,
in q letter to the Speaker of the House
OF Representatives, in which he asks an
of s25oooo for the purpose.
He urged Congress to make the appro-
pTldllOn dl the earliest pOsSlDlc udlt
In view Of existing conditions said
Secretary Daniels, land the fact that the
Coast Guard becomes a part of tho navy
in time Of war or when the President so
directs, and the further fact that the
naval districts are to a great extent de-
pendent upon the telephone lines Of the
Coast Guard for their information, it is
of the utmost Importance to this depart
ment that these lines be in efficient con-
dition. ready for instant use.
For similar reasons 1t is also Of the
utmost importance that the Coast Guard
extend its system to such outlying light
houses and other important points along
the coast not now connected by rapid and
reliable means for communicating infor-
nation
The determination to place the entire
coast telephone signal system under con-
troll of the United States navy is the re-
suit of a recent conference participated
in by representatives of the army, the
navy, the Coast Guard and the Depart
ment of Commerce. Following an actual
comparison of the mileage of telephone
wires controlled by coast Notifications,
naval signal stations and Department of
Commerce lighthouse connections, 1t was
disclosed that none of these services were
as fully equipped as the existing Coast
Guard shore stations, and that at the
least expenditure OF money complete
coastwise telephone system could be in
stalled by extending the wire connections
of the Coast Guard.
The scheme proposed. 1t is learned, In
wolves the placing of a contract with one
of the large national telephone COM
panies whereby the entire commercial
telephone system of the country can be
connected and extended to reach the
furthermost Coast Guard station on the
Atlantic and Pacific coasts Of the United
states.
