stand for reservations that would be

Privately the opposition leaders said
Mr.. Lodges claim was backed by an

the for.y-nine republicans and six
democrats TO stand together for a

that everything but the avaoa vo.

and wire telephone lines at either end
were connected up and used in combina-
ton with the wireless.
DR.. Jewett and his assistants, among
the more prominent of them Edward B.
Craft and E. H. Colpitts, assistant engi-
neers, have done even greater marvels in
radio telephony between ships and be-
tween ship and shore, and, most wonder
full of all, between this solid old earth
and the soaring airman high in the
heavens.
10 devise receiver, and especially
transmitter, which would exclude from
the radio line, so to call it, all the roar
of the airplane's mighty engine and the
rush and tumult of the winds of the
world and take in only the tones of the
volce-there was an accomplishment
worth celebrating. Only now that the
war is over are we permitted to know
about this.
ut is not surprising" Dr. Jewett went
on, that what is becoming known now
OF radio telephone experiments should
arouse keenest public interest in the sub
ject- People generally want to know
what place radio telephony is likely to
have in the future communication svs-
TENS of the world. 1t is going to have
place, an important place. but we must
look at it as it is accurately to realize
what that place is to be. Many of the
recently published results have been the
direct outgrowth Of war conditions. but
some are the outcome of work only re-
motely connected with specific war prob
lens.
"The whole question Of radio tele-
phony, both present and future, is, of
course, very intimately associated with
conditions which underlie the art of
radio telegraph communication. From
physical standpoint it seems quite clear
that whatever limitations are imposed
by nature on wireless telegraph opera
tons are imposed equally on wireless
telephone operations. There are also
many additional limitations which apply
to radio telephony with greater force
than TO radio telegraphy.
ION the other hand, there are certain
limitations, largely Of the human char
acter, which apply with greater force
to radio telegraphy than to radio tele-
phony. Principal among these is the

tenn engineers, and particularly those Of
the Western Electric Company, were
directed to the solution; of radio tele-
phone problems Of military Importance
These problems we're initially those of
the navy, the officers of which early
appreciated the possibilities of this
new form of communication. At later
date the problems of the army received
large amount Of attention. In partic-
ular, those problems which related to
radio telephone communication to, from
and between airplanes became matters
of the greatest moment.
because of the knowledge of the
work previously done the chief signal
officer of the army early in 1917 as
signed to the engineers Of the Western
Electric Company the difficult problem
Of developing radio telephone commune
cation for airplanes and this work was
successfully completed before the end of
that year, with the result that large
quantities of commercial radio telephone
apparatus were constructed for both the
army and the navy.
GIN order to have a proper basis for
deciding as to the probable future of
radio telephony, there are certain funda-
mental facts which should be clearly
understood
Principal among these are the physical
processes involved in it, the limitations
imposed by nature on all radio communi-
cation, the extent to which secrecy and
freedom from interference are essential
to commercial communication and the
extent to which the field of radio COM
munication must be reserved for those
classes of communication which in the
present state of the art can be conducted
in no other way or which must be re-
served for military purposes in connec-
ton with the national defence.
"All radio communication consists in
sending out from the transmitting sta
ton large amount of energy in the
form of electromagnetic waves and re-
ceiving a very small amount. of this
energy on the wires of the receiving
station. That the amount of energy
available at the receiving station is but
a minute fraction of the energy which
starts from the transmitting station can
be appreciated when it is realized that
the electro magnetic waves radiate from
the transmitting station in all directions
and that only that part of the initial
energy which can be picked up by the
wires of the receiving station is avail
able there.
"The minuteness of this received en-
ergy renders all radio communication
veV susceptible to interference from
natural electrical disturbances and from
other radio stations.

More important even than inter-

Jewett continued, ARE the questions of

Because of the fact that all radio COM
munlcation employs the same medium of
transmission it is, of necessity, essen
TALLY non-secret, and any one possessed
of the requisite apparatus can easily re-
ceive the messages from any desired sta
ton. This is particularly true of radio
telephony, where even that form of
secrecy made possible by the use of codes
is difficult to obtain. Further, the broad
band of frequencies required to cover the
speech range makes it easy to tune in

From physical standpoint the state
Of the radio telephone art since 1915
has been one in which it was possible
under certain conditions and at certain
times to telephone between two ordi-
nary telephone instruments located at
widely distant points on the earth's
surface and to do this either wholly
by radio or by a combination of any
number of wire and radio links Prior
to the middle of 1917 this comminica-
ton would have been limited to tele-
phone stations located either on land or
sea. Thanks to the Developments of
airplane radio, however, it is now pos
sible to include telephone stations To-
Gated above the earths surface in the
general communication area. Yet it
has not been and is not now possible to
give widely extended and reliable gen
eral radio telephone service.
GAS matters stand, what then is the
probable future of radio telephony and
to what extent, if at all, is it likely to
supersede wire telephony? That is what
the average man wants to know He

A Tough
Technical Problem

"1n radio telephony the problem is
still further complicated by the fact that
the continuous wave train which would
serve as the basis for radio telegraph
channel is required to perform the ad-
ditional burden Of acting as the carrier
for the voice waves. Since all radio
communication employs the same common
conductor and since freedom from inter-
ference between messages is dependent
solely upon the ability to use different
range of frequencies for each mes
sage, this added condition greatly
broadens the band of frequencies re-
quired for radio telephone message as
distinguished from a radio telegraph
message and very greatly limits the num-
Der of mountaineering conversations
which can be sent or received from a

markable quality of being insensitive to
engine and wind noises, and at the same
time very responsive to the tones of the

hardest kind of work was necessary to
iron out all the kinks and get the thing
IN shape, SO that it might be considered

use of other than experts.
Finally in October, 1917, we reached
the point where we thought it was time
to spring 1t on the A. E. F. and accord
ingly Colonel Culver was sent abroad
with several trunkloads of the appara-
tus to show our people overseas that we
had not been asleep on the job and had
a new tool for their use. In early
December the next historical event took
place. To those of us who were mixed
up in this little affair those were three
days which we will never forget. Colonel
Carly and Colonel Jewett we're in the
party, which was made up of admirals,
generals, foreign representatives and ex-
perts galore, all willing to be shown hut

wild enthusiasts who had been living
with the job for the last six months.

so it took lot of maneuvring and din

ana into the air. Finally, just about
dark on the evening before the fatal
day we did get one machine into the
alr and found that the apparatus worked.
The plan was to have two planes
IN the air at once and for the official
party to listen in at a ground station
located on the top of hill near the field.
That night we all congregated in one
of the rooms of the hotel, worked out
our scenario and held a rehearsal.

that night. Next day we were out at the

trying to keep busy until it was time
for the big show. Upon arrival Of the
exalted ones we showed them the appa-
ratus IN the planes and explained what
it was expected to do.
They went up to our little station on
the hill, where we had rugged up loud

without the use of lead sets. The planes
left the ground and after what seemed
an interminabe length of time we got
the first sounds in the receiver which in
dlcated that they were ready to perform.
The spectators were only mildly inter-
ested and some seemed a bit bored.
