Ask Transatlantic Line.
The United States and Italy have
asked for the former German trans
Atlantic cable now in possession of
the French, in order that it might be
relaid between New York and Ge-
roa, Italy. They have supported
their claim with the contention that
while neither Italy nor the United
States obtained any of the German
cables, France now has in her pos
session not only the transatlantic
line. but also several of the former
German systems skirting the African
coast.
The delegates are understood to
have approved the work of the tech

drafting provisions Of international
law governing the use of cables, ra-
dio and telegraph and the framing of
an amalgamated telegraph and radio
convention. These reports are ex-
