DEVELOPMENT OF WIRELESS.

Wireless Efficiency.

WtreI0oD ieHicseney.
London, Sept. 23.-The efficiency OF
wireless telegraphy has been enor-
mously increased during the war. a
semi Official statement issued by the
Royal Air Force says. In particular.
great progress has been made in send
ing wireless messages from aircraft.
In 1914 various difficulties restricted
the use of wireless in conjunction with
airplanes. Most Of these have been
overcome and the use Of wireless COM
munications from the air has been OF
great assistance to the allied forces in
all military operations.
Without the assistance OF wireless
the use Of airplanes could never have
been developed 80 fully as it now Is.
ARTILLERY observation by airplane is
among the most profitable of all the
uses OF aircraft.
Far below in the batteries the wire
less operators receive the corrections
from the airplane till the signal comes
to indicate that the right range has
been found and, lister. the cease fire.
signal to indicate that destruction has
been accomplished.
The extended range Of aircraft wire

hind the lines, is tine first to learn.

SHELLS NEVER COME s'NcLy.
Few Soldiers Pretend to Be lndifferen
to Shell Fire.

Correspondence Associated PIess.]
Somewhere in France, Sept. T.
What does it feel like to be shelled
or bonbed?" is question which many
people at home ask Of American SOL
diers in their letten.
Bombing has one marked difference
from shell fire. When bomb has ex-
ploded soldier can be fairly sure that
the worst Is over, whereas, when a
Shell explodes. the first shell presages
many successors. Shells, like troubles.
never come singly.
Few soldiers try to pretend that they
like Smelling or even that they are In
different to it. Many of them admit
that nothing makes them more ner-
vous than desultory shellfire. They
may try to appear apathetic-they
generally light a cigarette-but 1t IS
altogether a poor performance.
The absurd part Of 1t is that the
slightest cover makes the soldier quite
himself again. 1t is the instinct OF the
ostrich. It is almost humorous to see
| what shelters men will run to II a shell
comes their way. Long grass even
creates the illusion OF safety.
Many soldiers admit that they are at
