Recently during the regular ma
neuvers Of the 37th Infantry at Fort
Macintosh. wireless signals sent from
an airplane were recorded on the re-
ceivers Of the U. s. Intelligence Sta
ton at Del Rio. Texas, distance Of
ITS miles. An altitude of 900 feet
was maintained during most Of the
time and a general north and south
course was flown. Several messages
which were coded and repeated were
received without break although the
operator listed in his report that they
became faint at times and the dis
tinctness varied which was likely due
TO the direction Of the fight
This is perhaps the greatest dis
lance that messages have been re-
ceived from s. c. K. No. 73 Radio set
and viii probably 20 down as q new
record. I'D" tap with $50 meter wave

ADMIRAL SIMS MAKES FURTHER
 STARTLING STATEMENTS AS TO
 NAVAL MEMS DILAT0RY TACTICS

WASHINGTON, March 10 (by As sociated Press)-Continuin his testi- mOny before the senate Investigating committee today, Admiral Sims said the failure of the navy to fully CO., operate in the war during the first six months after Americas entrance into the struggle cost half a million lives, fifteen billion dollars in money and half a million tons of shipping, and prevented victory in July, 1918.
 If the North sea barrage had been laid in 1917 the United States could have had a million men in France at the beginning of 1918, instead of hay ing only three hundred thousand men overseas, said the admiral
 It was probable, said Admiral Sims, that the German offensive in 1918 would never have started had the

WANTS ENACTMENT OF LAWS TO ENCOURAGE DEVELOPMENT

 This condition led the senate to pass the Jones resolution yesterday, requesting three sets of facts from the department of the interior, as fol- lows
 First-What steps have been taken to develope the country along the rail road?
 Second-What steps have been taken for developing traffic?
 Third-Has any organization been created to settle and develop the coun- try? If not, why not?

CANNOTREACH S0UTHERNP0LE
 WITH AIRPLANE

MELBOURNE, Australia, March 10 (by Associated Press) An airplane will be of little service in attempting to reach the South Pole, in the opin- ion of Dr. Griffith Taylor, of the Aus trian Meteorological Bureau who was formerly an Antarctic explorer. Dr. Taylor said he believed that the ex- petition to the South Pole to be con- ducted next summer by Dr. J. L. Cope would find it difficult to reach the South Pole by the air route. He said:
 Hurricanes blow for weeks in the Antarctic and can spring up in half an hour from nothing to 60 miles an hour. I do not think it possible that an airplane can rise above a blizzard. It can not stay up indefinitely and it can not descend"
 Dr. Taylor is skeptical as to the mineral wealth of the Antarctic, for which Dr. Cope's expedition is spe- cially to explore. Speaking from his own experience, he does not think there is anything of economic value on the coast of the Antarctic continent; and although coal is to be found in- land, the extent of the deposits, he says, is uncertain, and it is improb- able on account of the remOteness that it can be mined within the next fifty years
