Talk Over Telephone
Successful Wireless Test Pre-.
cedcd the Treland-Canada
COrynrsafion

WASHINGTON. March Wireless
telephone communication between
America and France was established
several days before the Marconi trials
between Canada and Ireland. This fact
was announced yesterday by Lieu
tenant Commander S. G. Hooper, chief
of the Radio Division of the Navy.
1t was also announced that constant
wireless telephone service with gov
eminent officials in Washington will
be at the disposal Of President Wilson
every moment Of his return voyage
from France.
Commander Hooper stated that the
operator of the high powered station
at New Brunswick, N. j., had spoken
to the transport George Washington
while she was lying in harbor at Brest,
France. Owing to the fact that the
George Washington has not yet been
equipped with wireless telephone
transmitting apparatus her operator
had to reply TO the voice signals by
means of wireless telegraphy.
The George Washington is to be
equipped with a wireless telephone
transmitter before President Wilson
returns from the peace conference.
The transmission of the human voice
through the air over a distance of
5000 miles without any connecting
wires has been made possible by the
radio frequency alternator designed
and invented by E. F. Alexanderson,
of the General Electric Company, of
Scheme ctady.
1t was also stated to-day by naval
officials that the Alexanderson appa-
ratus was superior to the Marconi type
of wireless telephone in use between
Glace Bay, Canada, and Clifden, Ire
